JEANETTE LowRIE AS THE GOOSE GIRL.

again hearing the lines of a really good
libretto!
"The Carrier Pigeon is one of the

comic operas. He is already married
to a goose girl who is induced to play
the part of the princess, who, of course,
has also taken to flight.
A war gives the composer a chance
TO introduce some laundering numbers
for the male voices and affords a
chance to display colorful costumes on
the curved and prancing soldiers.
Harry B. Smith has not written so
good a book in years, If ever, ana the
foolery of Cawthorn adds volumes OF
merriment. Nella Bergen was pictur-

1.-THE Free Lance" is the best comic
opera New York has seen and heard in
many years. Harry B. Smiths book of
the play is in itself humorous enough
to score a hit without the aid of the

jeanette Lowrie's hit is one of the

the English language in most ludicrous
fashion.

Concerning Calve

Several years ago. while in Chicago,
Nine. Calve became the godmother of
n grandson of Nine. Helen Modjeska,
a son of Ralph Modjeska, the well
known civil engineer. The godfather
was the celebrated Polish tenor, Jean
de Rezske. On their return from
church, after the christening, the two
singers, each in turn, softly sang an
aria in the ears of the child. When
the boy grew to be two or three years
old. he developed IL wonderful musical
talent.
Besides being n great singer, Nine.
Calve is a splendid pianist, Had nature
not given her a beautiful voice, she
undoubtedly would have become famous
as performer on her favorite instru-
ment. Her love of dramatic action
caused Calve to adopt the operatic
stage instead of becoming a concert
pianist. She has taken great pleasure
in playing her own accomplishments at
times While she cannot do this for
the regular program at her recitals
she often accompanies herself on en-
cores.
Nine. Calve sings at Simpson audit
orium next Monday evening" supported
by an excellent concert company,
