MIR. AUGUSTINE MONTEGRIFFO
The following record speaks volumes
for this great artist, and 1t seems SUI
pernuous to add another word in Gu
logy:
He is an American, born in New
York city OF italian parentage, and is
the foremost American tenor. having
sung With the greatest artists in the
world both in opera and concert,
among which are ouch Shining lights
as Patti. Scalchi, Hauk. Albani, Alb
bolt, Calve, Lehman, Blauvelt, Cam
panari and other great celebrities, and
under such famous dictatorship as
Walter Damrosch, Bergman, Goosens,
of London, Eng; Heinrich and the late
lamentcd Anton Seidl.
In 1892 he was engaged by Sir Au-
gustus Harris as principal tenor for
the Carl Rosa Opera Company.
In 1898 he was specially engaged to
sing the roles of Radames in Aida, at
the Royal Theatre in Turin. Italy, and
in the spring of the same year he ere
ated the role of Ganio in the opera
"Pagliacci' in it's first production in
America.
He is now the principal tenor with
the International Grand Operate Con-
cert Company under the exclusive
management of Mr.. Corneaux Bohemia,
OF New York city. His repetoire en-
braces ninety-siN operas, and the acts
of grand opera to be given by this com

"a COLONIAL GIRL"
"a Colonial Girl" with Howard
Gould in the role OF Godfre Remson,
the patriot spy, has been winning the
most favorable comments in all the
cities where it has been produced this
year. 1t will be at the Academy next
Friday, matinee and night, February
2Sd so that theatre-goers will have an
opportunity of judging for themselves
The success of the play was made at
the New York Lyceum, where it had a
long run. Mr.. Gould. who is the star
OF this occasion. is well known as one
Of the best romantic actors Of the day.
His good work of the past three years
in "rhe Prisoner of Zenda' have
brought him into prominence, and he
will without doubt soon be recognized
as one OF the foremost of romantic
actors. All the scenery, properties and
furniture which were used in the New
York run of the play are carried by the
company.

Reader" Answered.
Churcl,land.

Churchland. Va. Feb. II.
Editor Virginian- Pilot:
Dear Sir,-In to-day's Forum" a
contributor. who signs himself "a
Reader" undertakes to ridicule the
suggestions which [ made in yester-
days Forum" regarding the suppress
sion OF speculation in theatre tickets,
and, I am surprised to note, exhibits
degree of feeling in the matter quite
uncalled for by the suggestions which
made. Certainly, at any rate, he eX-
hibits a wonderful lack OF fair-lninded-
ness or of intelligence, or of both, for
otherwise he would not have so totally
missed the entire purport of my sug-
gestions. I Will try this time to express
myself in such way as to bring my
meaning within the bounds of his in
tellectual horizon.
In the first place, distinctly stated
that 1t was not my intention to criti-
CHE the Academy management in any
way. ~ Reader has knowledge in eX-
cess OF mine, in that he has some
knowledge OF the management of a the
atre." Perhaps he then knows how 1t
was that In Richmond, Va, the public
or the management succeeded in sup
pressing almost entirely this ticket
speculation? This was an evil which
was rife In Richmond al one time, but
now 1t Is almost unknown there. "A
Reader" says that my suggestion as to
limiting sales of tickets to four to
each person is ridiculous, and asks:
How could person give theatre
party?" and a few other questions. and
then himself gives the answer which
solves the whole problem. If q man
wants to give Il thentre party to, say,
sixteen persons. he would simply have
to send his driver. his porter. his but
Ter and his cook over night to buy
tickets. and there you are; while, on the
other hand, If one wants TO speculate
In tickets he must employ confeder-
ates in order to make the game enor-
mcusly remuneratlve
But, Mr.. Editor, your suggestion in
Fridays paper was better one than
mine-that of requiring the SPECTATORS
TO pay license fee. Only three or
four attractions come, III season.
which offer inducements to the specula-
tors. and a license fee sufficiently large
would make the business Improbable.
AS regards the "croakers" and the
Sour ones. and those who paid more
than they thought the tickets were
worth. did not see any OF them last
Thursday morning Those whom l
saw who paid S. for tickets were per-
fectly willing to do so; but they and I
thought 1t likely that IL this 81 wore
paid to the management instead OF to
the spectators. the management might,
lin the future, be enabled to employ bet

suspect, when our forces were engaged

preached the result with which the coun-

This is the fact In these premises and
no amount OF expansion or imperialistic

dence nor as defined in the constitution,

detained him in Havana ss a star Witness

which was embarrassing to say the least,
and he was promptly told that he would

The moral OF this is that 1t does rot

ministration. The thieves all walk the
streets scot free and the homes. men are
compelled to go to- jail in order to ges

Prosperity Not for Wage Farmers


The supporters of Mckinley are not
finding it so easy as they expected to set
the country on fire with the great issue OF
prosperity, and they seem more and more
inclined as the days 90 by to divert atten-
ton from that subject
AS the Chronicle has already pointed
out. failures have increased in number
and more than doubled in the amount u
liabilities involved during the las. six
months as compared with the correspond
ing period last year. while clearing house
returns show a large decrease in the vol
ume of business.
These facts are sufficiently emoarrass-
ing to the prosperity shouters, but hey
are not all or the worst. 1t is found to be
impossible to awaken much enthusiasm
over a prosperity which has not been e1-
perienced in any extraordinary measure
by the mass of the people.
Nobody will pretend to deny that many
persons are more prosperous now than
they wsre during the dreary years Of
panic and prostration for which the coun-
try was indebted TO the Mckinley tariff
and silver and spendthrift legislation of
1890.
Nobody will pretend to deny that lately.
