G|OCONDA GIVEN
WARM RECEPTION
Miss Roberts Triumphs
in D'Annunzio's
Drama.

"Gioconda," by Gabrielle d'Annunzio,
and translated by Arthur Symons, was
presented yesterday afternoon at the AL
cazar by Miss Florence Roberts, who
appeared as Silvia Settala.
First Of all, Frederic Belasco is to
be heartily congratulated for the pains
taking manner in which the produc-
ton was given. Every detail that tends
to the success of a performance from a
scenic point of view had evidently been
carefully studied and carried out, which
fact an immense and representative au-
dience was not slow to acknowledge.
The play "Gioconda" is absolute in it's
emotion and in its sentiment and ven
lures on the verge of melancholia.
Throughout, the recitation of the attempt
ed suicide of Silvias husband, Lucio, the
sculptor, because of his passion for his
beautiful model, Gioconda Dianti, the
development of the play Is as a gloomy
PAIL which along four acts darkens and
darkens until the glooms actually become
intense.

i have cured
victims
of alcoholism

Every man who has
drunk or is drinking to
excess knows the symp-
toms of Alcoholism and it
is unnecessary to dwell
upon them. The use of al
coholic stimulants pro-
duces disastrous effects
upon every organ of the
human body and the dis
ease of Alcoholism is the
result. My treatment per-
manently removes this
craving and cures the dis
eased condition which al
cohol has produced. 1t
restores the patient to
peri ct health and
strength. Any man who
drinks after taking nv
treatment does so because
he would rather be drunk
than sober, not because
he has any desire for
liquor. I do not use. hypo-
dermic injections. Ny
treatment is the only safe
and permanent cure for
Alcoholism on earth. Ad-
ministered solely by its
discoverer.

EVERLASTING SHADOW.

There are poets who sing the senti-
mental, poets whose song thrills with
light and merry note and poets who moan
in dirgeful morbidness, and Gabrielle
d Annunzio belongs to the latter class.
He chants and means in the minor. There
is the everlasting shadow, shadow, shad-
ow until the very last act, when La
Sirenetta brings a smile and a fitting
beam on the dark gloom
Lucio proves convincingly by word and
action that he cannot free his soul ex-
cept by tearing her-Gioconda-from his
heart" and he becomes so persistent in
that declaration, in face of the fact that
he has been rescued from the clutch of
grim death by his faithful Silvia, that one
actually loses every particle of patience
and regrets that the sweet much tried,
confiding wife should be willing to suffer
further anguish.
Miss Florence Roberts did nobly with
the part of Silvia Settala, and since the
doleful composer allows no latitude for
the actor to escape the minor key, it is
truly remarkable how the interest is
maintained. Miss Roberts gave a per-
formance that adds to her previous long
list of successes and nothing could more
plainly attest to this than the almost
appalled, interest of the audience through
out the four acts.
Lucius Henderson had the thankless
role, Lucio Settala, and infused into the
translation a quantity of emotion which
is indispensable If the lines are to be re-
spected by the interpreter.
MOUNTING ELABORATE.
William Yerance, too, gave a capital
performance in the part of Lorenzo Cad
di and Harry S. billiards Cosimo Dalbo
was most agreeably presented. Miss
Edith Angus played the part of Fran
ceSca DOni with admirable Judgment and
grace, and it fell to Miss Bertha Blanch-
ard as Gioconda to sound the first strong
dramatic note when in the third act she
meets the wife of the sculptor for whom
she has been the model for the work into
which he has put blood and life and
breath.
Miss Virginia Brissac gave bright
thoroughly intelligent and correct reading
of the part of La Sirenetta, and Ollie
Cooper, who does not make her appear
ance until late in the last act gave a
pretty representation of the child, Beata.

Hospital Association
Meeting Wos Held Saturday, May 9th, At Which
Bylaws Were Read and Adopted

this sentiment, for we have often
wondered if the young men and
women Of our city are going to be AZ
public spirited. and work as hard tor
the upbuilding Of the community as
the older generation has done.
1t was also practically decided 10
incorporate the Hospital Association
in order to give it legal status, AMI
to insure to those who will give their
money to it that it is a responsible
body.
The Record is deeply interested III
this movement TO have a hospital
and has been from the begin
ming, for we have long believed
that public hospital whore the poor
and those in moderate circumstances
can be given proper care in time of
sickness is q necessity in Canon City.
Tins far only the physicians. the
clergymen and the women have shown
time for the business men and the
Lodges of the city to lend q helping
hand? As has been pointed out be-
fore, the Lodges pay out a large
amount of money each year for the
care of the sick, and most of this
could be directed to the hospital.
Even in a commercial way. hospital
rs good thing for community. for
it often attracts the sick from adjoin
ing towns where equal facilities do
not exist. and these indirectly, do
much good
Such considerations should be Of
secondary importance. however for
the thought how much good can We
do. should be uppermost in our minds
We hope now that such good
start has been made. that the public
will not loose interest and allow it to
die.

SINNER WON an EASY VICTORY
SCORE WAS FL TO II.

The Sinner baseball team went
to our sister city, Helletsville, last
Sunday to engage in the second
game with the team Of that place
and once more scored a victory.
There was quite crowd present
from Sinner to cheer the boys and
help them enjoy the many good
plays INDUCED in by them
The day was a warm proposition
and it seemed from the manner in
which the game opened that it
was going to set the pace for the
weather, but after the second inning
the Sinner boys touched off the
fireworks and then all minds were
satisfied as to how it would end,
Halletsville has some good ma
terial in their team, but a great
many of them were sadly in need
of the first essential necessary to

what they lacked in this respect
they fully made up in their hos.

game, but suffice it to say that il
was q smooth, pleasant game AND
