SECOND HUB STORE is
PROVING A SUCCESS
Purchase of Big Stock in New York
at Low Figures Has Neoessl.
tated Opening In New
Quarters

The Hub store No. Q, which was opened
last week at 430-434 South Broadway has
been doing rushing business and Mr.
Brown, president, is well satisfied with
the first few days showing. The loca-
tion is one of the best on Broadway and
it was only by chance that the lease was
secured by the Hub management. as To-
cations In that block are extremely hard
to get.
The Hub store No carries a splendid
line of mems clothing. all of the very
best makes and latest styles. The stock
Is absolutely new, being bought recently
by Mr. Brown on his return trip from
Europe In New York he made his regu-
lar annual purchases. He bought nearly
$3.50 900 worth of clothing at such figures
that 1t is possible to put them on the
market at extremely low prices. The
store on Spring street could not handle
this immense stock. so the Hub No. 2
was opened and made a strictly men
clothing store. The stock carried in this
store is undoubtedly one of the largest
and most complete to be found on the
Pacific coast.
A. L. Brown, president of the Hub, Is
we'll known as a careful and shrewd
buyer. Mr.. Eggleston is manager OF the
new store and has the stock arranged In
an attractive manner.

In "La Travlata"-Strong
Cast to Support -
Diva

The singing of La Traviata" by the
Milan grand opera company which Will
open the third week of the opera season
tonight, will present the opportunity OF
hearing Signora Padovani sing Violetta'
in which the now great diva won ner
first lyric triumph and which has always
been her favorite role.
Great are both the lyric and dramatic
demands made on the singer, but both In
the dramatic worth and brilliant vocali-
zation Padovanfs Violetta has been de-
clared comparable to the Violetta OF
Adelina Patti, acknowledged by the mu-
sical world perfect.
The part requires soprano OF srea'
brilliance to accept to It's fullest measure
the glorious opportunities for voice dis
play offered in the difficult arias in the
first act
Almost equal demand Is made in the
intense, passionate scenes of the later
acts. In both lyric and dramatic inter
probation Padovani is today pre-eminen'
in this part.
For this presentation the diva is sur
rounded by a brilliant cast. Including
Parola, Arcangeli and Mauceri.
So assured is the management OF the
success of this great Verdi opera, though
there will be only three nights of opera,
ewing to the weekend engagement OF
sousa's band. LA Traviata" Will be re-
peated Wednesday night
