The rendition of "El capitan," which will be presented at the Montgomery Theatre Monday. Feb 24th. is quite the musical event of the season for several reasons.

The manner In which tho opera will be presented will no doubt be unique to Montgomery theatre-goers, 0eing presented in the same grand style as at the Broadway Theatre in New To k.
