The Majestic bill for the coming

This includes several intensely inter-
esting vaudeville acts. The acts which
are among the topliners in the vaude
Vile circuit are of different lines but
are so entertaining and SO different
from each other that they are always
booked together as one of the road
shows of the Majestic circuit. These
arc considered the best vaudeville
bookings on the circuit.
At Kansas City.
Emma Calve, the noted grand opera
singer, whom John Cort will present in
concert with a company of noted Eu-
ropean artists at the Auditorium the
alter, Kansas City, Mo, Saturday even
ing November 8, is one Of the few
prima donnas of worldwide fame
whom France has given to the opera
tic stage. Calve was born in the south
of France of part Spanish parentage,
and thus has in her makeup the
warmth fire and color Of the Latin
races which have had much to do in
winning Nine. Calve the foremost posi-
ton in grand opera which she now
holds Most singers depend on their
voice alone, but not so with Calve,
though her voice alone would have car
ried her to heights seldom reached by
grand opera singers; she wanted to
act as we'll as to sing, and as result
the roles in which she has appeared re-
main vivid creations in the minds OF
those who heard them, as well as
pleasing memory of ematchless voice
which expressed every tone and shad-
ing which the human voice can reach
There can be no doubt but that Calve
has made the fame of Carmen" en-
during: her name has become linked
with this opera of BiZet's which was
first sung when she was an infant in
arms A few years after she had be-
come prina donna she eSsayed Car
men" and sang the role ofthe cigarette
maker so wildly, so faultlessly, and
with such superb mastery of dramatic
art that she made the opera what 1t Is

which will live as long as the world
lives.
who for many years directed the des-
tiny of grand opera at the Metropolitan
Grand opera house in New York,Would
never include Carmen in his roper
tory unless Calve was listed among the
prima donnas for the season Thus 1t
is that Calve and Carmen have be-
come indissolubly linked, and 1t IS
matter of congratulation to music low

Washington, April 6.--One hun dred and twenty school teachers will sail from San Francisco for the Phil ippines before June l.

All of the teachers are subject to civil service examinations. The certified list of teachers has not been sufficient to supply the full quota required this year and another examination will be held soon to fill the remaining places.
