The Dolly Warden Orchestra.

No matter how clever must
clans are, it stands to reason
they cannot play the music Of an
opera at sight, particularly the
strong finals and n c e r t e d
numbers, with the same beauti-
ful and artistic phrasing, as an
orchestra that has had innumera-
BILE rehearsals, and is playing the
music daily. Many a good opera
tic perfor nance has been ruined
by an Indifferent rendition of the
music. To insure an absolutely
perfect performance of Dolly
Warden" Mr.. F. G.. Whitney has
engaged com plete orchestra of
eminent soloists, principally
from the Metropolitan Opera
House, New York to accompany
the organization on tour under
the direction of Mr.. Orville L.
Mayhood the celebrated con-
ductor and composer.

in it's fullest possibilities by the

daughter cd an obedient father,
a doting mother and youthful
and very original grand mother;
all Of whom seem part of their
picturesque home in Colorado,
where the first scene is laid.
Guests of the household are Lord
Nelson Stafford and his nephew,
Thurston, Viscount Canning.
Viscount Comming, a quiet. self
contained Englishman, loves
Indiana and persuades her to
marry him an the novel condi-
ton that he shall assert his
mastery of her when that shall
be necessary or right. The last
three acts are laid in Lord Cam
ing house, Belgravia, London,
where her surroundings and the
prim, suppressed. patrician
Lady Canning act as a tanning
force on Indiana. The charge is
only temporary or assumed,
however. for, after the sudden
arrival in London of her relatives
and old caprice shows itself in
the young wife and she defes
her husband by leaving his house
one night against his com mand.
Viscount Canning, sure of the
justice of his position, deals firm
ly with his wife; so firmly that
at midnight she finds herself
debarred from his house and
gains entrace only through the
good Office of the aged servant,
jennings. The climax shows the
final subduing of Indiana, who,
fighting down her old vinenish
spirit. stands at the last loving.
