OF PLAINTIFF

Judge Poindexter today decided
for the plaintiff in the case OF E.

In 1905 the city started suit to
collect the assessments and Judge
Moore held that they were out

ROSCIAN OPERA COMPANY
WON FAVOR IN SPOKANE

Tonight's performance Of "The
Bohemian Girl" will be the farewell
performance of the Roscian Opera
company. Genuine regret will be
felt among the Spokane theater-
goers over the departure Of this
popular organization.
During It's stay in Spokane the
company has sung its way into the
hearts of the Spokane public. In
its opening week 1t played to small
but enthusiastic audiences, but dur.
ing the past week, when the diff
fcut FRA Diavolo" and "The
Bohemian Girl" were presented the
Spokane theater was packed every
night.
The failure of the Spokane public
to appreciate them in time is re-
sponsible for the cancelling of their
engagement here. The Roscians
were made to suffer for the sins
of other opera companies. Expert
ence with other repertoire opera
companies has taught Spokane
audiences to be extremely shy Of
anything of the kind. The first
night audience that greeted the
Roscians were amazed and in
credulous that they could be half
SO GOOD.

The company possesses some ex-
cellent voices and the members are
thoroughly familiar with the scores
Of the operas they present. They
have had years of experience, and
though the production is not staged
deliberately, the productions are not
the less charming. There Is no
hesitancy in saying that the Ros-
clans are the best repertoire opera
company On the road today.
Miss Lucia Nola, the leading
woman, is possessed of a clear bell
like soprano voice. Her Il Dreamt
Dwelt in Marble Halls" was one
of the best things ever heard in
Spokane. Miss Hazel Davenport
has q fine contralto voice and Is a
splendid actress.
Among the male members Of the
company, Hilliard Campbell, bari
