progress. The cantata would have
received much heartier cooperation

would gladly take part in it, who
are now prevented from doing so,
because they are at this time crowded

However, we are very thankful that
those from the grades, as well as the

over books, are so kindly lending
their aid in this effort. Mr., Robin

WILL RENDER ESTHER,
THE BEAUTIFUL QUEEN
tirst-clAss Production, Under Di
rection Of Prot. Robins son
Of Chicago.

A magnificent treat awaits the
people Of Grants Pass at the Opera
House next Tuesday aud Wednesday
evenings. The famous and beautiful
sacred opera "Queen Esther" will be
presented under the direction of Prof.
NJ. E. Robinson of Chicago, who will
be assisted by 100 of the best singers
in Grants Pass.
Prof, Robinson is able to give a
frst-class production of "Queen
Esther. " There will not be one dull
moment during the opera. In two
weeks time, the chorus work will be
put in such stage of perfection that
no one in the audience will ever
dream that he is listening to
amateurs. Prof. Robinson knows
every word, note, gesture and piece
OF action in the opera. Beautiful
oriental costumes are furnished by
Prof. Robinson, costing several thous.
and dollars. The production of
"Queen Esther will compare
favorably with the best road shows
given in Grants Pass this year.
That Prof. Robinson is able to give
most satisfactory production, is
proven by the fact that he has given
Queen Esther" in all the large
cities OF Washington. Idaho and Ore
gon and has repeated his work in
Portland, Spokane, Seattle, Tacoma
and many of the largest towns in the
Northwest He had charge of the
music at Chautauqua at Oregon City
in 1904, giving Queen Esther" and
"Belshazzar" to audiences Of 6OOO
people. he las been invited to take
charge Of the music this year at Ore.
gon City and for the Chautauqua at
Ashland. A splendid testimonial to
Prof. Robinson's great ability as
director of choruses. The production
OF Queen Esther" is not a mere
presentation of the words and music
sung by large chorus but the chorus
will memorize the music. and every
word sung, will be given the advant.
age of gesture, action and costume.
Grants Pass Is very fortunate in Sc
curing the services of one of the
best directors In this country. The
singers are exceedingly fortunate in
securing so much musical training of
such high order.
Queen Esther" is always given to
crowded houses, in fact, the interest
is 80 great that the opera must always
be- repeated, while at Pendleton
Salem, Spokane, Portland, Astoria
and many other cities, Prof. Robinson
was urged to give Esther third
night.
