that the Standard OIL company had

WALKER WHlTESlOE AND HIS
COMPANY OF ARTISTS GAVE
THE BEAUTIFUL DRAMA,
THE MAGIC MELODY

1t may be hat the artistic souls of
Walker Whitcside and his incompar.
able company were satisfied by the
aduation of a devoted Cairo audience
lat night at the opera house, for uly
appreciation was never more manifest
or heartfelt. Perhaps this may atone
for the poor returns at the box office
for be il said to the great diseredit of
the refined element Of Cairo. there
was but a fair audience to witness
the beautiful play, The Magic Mel

Mr.. Whiteside whose long success in
Shakespearean roles made him one OF
the best known opponents of the great
poets works, though one of the young
est. finds in this incompatible play a
vehicle for his rare genius that brings
into play all his admirable strength
quite as well as any in which he has
ever appeared.
The play is one Of thrilling situa-
tions. A new story, having a plot OF
originality mostcleverly treated.
Every member of The company Is O.
artist whose ability adds its great
part TO the delightful ensemble that
thrills and thrills the hearer. Not in
years. II ever has there been a more
magnificent production along artistic
lines on the boards of the Cair.
opera house.
Mr.. Richard Sheman, as Pietr

presentation of the revengeful Italian
