AT THE THEATRE

The best show of the season was
greeted by the poorest house at the
Auditorium Wednesday evening, when
the Boston Ideal Opera company pre-
scented that delightful comic opera La
Mascotte." This piece contains great
est possibilities for fun and every
member of the company is capable of
making the most of every opportunity.
The two brothers, f. o. Burgess, bari
tone, and w. II. Burgess, bass, besides
having voices full of harmony and
music, are a pair of comedians that
make whole show by themselves.
The one poker game scene, which
these brothers do even better than 1t
was presented here before, is worth
alone twice the price of admission. f.
w. Walters, as Pippo in La Mas
Cote" has a tenor voice of surpass-
ing sweetness. Mr.. Walters has been
here before in Fra Diavolo and he was
the tenor with the Andrews Opera
company when that popular organiza-
ton used to make this territory. BY
comparison, 1t may be truthfully said
the Boston Ideals are fully the equal
or even better than the Andrews COM
pany was in its palmiest days, either
of the Burgesses being as funny as Ed
Andrews was in his happiest moments
Little Winifred Crowley, as Bettina,
won the house from the moment she
came upon the stage. She has soft
soprano voice that at once appeals to
her audience. Miss Crowley is a ma
tive-born Philippine, with densely
black hair and light complexion, q
dainty, winning little person of beau
tiful face and form. The company has
not a homely woman in the cast, Lucia
Fora being perhaps the most beautiful
from an American standpoint. Her
execution of the Highland fling, in
Scottish costume, was the best spe-
cialty given during the evening.
That the company did not draw a
good house in Norfolk is no fault of
theirs. 1t was due to the fact that
they followed two shows which had
stung the people, and to the further
fact that the advance man of this com
pany did not give enough information
concerning lHe COMPANY W lol III Oh
impression Of what they are or who
they are. They are a first class com
pany in every respect and the seats
should have sold at $1.00 instead OF
so cents.
Will Return Monday Evening.
At the earnest solicitation of the
Auditorium management, together with
a number of those who were present
Wednesday evening, the Boston Ideals
have consented to play return en-
gagement in this city Monday even
ing, at which time either La Mas
cote" will be repeated or "Olivette'
will be given. There is no doubt bu
the company will draw big house
Monday evening, as it is without ques
ton one of the wittiest, brightest com
panies that has ever made good IL
Norfolk. And comic opera is the kline
of a show that always pleases Nor
folk audience.

NEW BUILDING TOO SMALL
SCHOOL PLANNED FOR GREGORY
SIX MONTHS AGO.
LARGEST BUILDING IN COUNTY

New Structure is Now Completed and
is Found Entirely adequate to
Cover the Demand. No1 Room is
Needed Sza.
Gregory, S. d., Dec. 12.-Sl Mo,
The News: The Gregory p%sSo2r
schools have opened in the new buiiG2,
ing after a vacation of six months.
The delay was necessitated pending
the construction of the new school
building, as there was no other build
ing of sufficient size available for
school purposes.
So rapid has been the increase In
population that the new building which
was planned about six months ago and
was thought at the time to be of suf-
ficiept size for long time to come,
is now entirely inadequate and is
greatly overcrowded. 1t will be neces-
sary to procure at least two additional
rooms in order to properly care for
the present school population. If the
number of pupils continues to increase
at the present rate another much larg-
err building will probably be erected
during the coming summer. The new
building has a seating capacity of three
hundred and is the largest in Gregory

and to interfere with no person in any
way, unless such a course becomes
necessary to protect life after vio-
lence has be n committed, put a diff.
ferent complexion on the situation
here.
This, coupled with the fact that
General Funston is to arrive in Gold
field today to view the situation and
report to Washington, caused a COM
plete change in the program of the
mine operators, who had hoped to be
able, through Governor Sparks, to
have martial law declared In Goldfeld
and to reopen the mines today under
tho active protection of the United
States troops.
One thing that developed is the
fact that the John S. Cook & Co. bank
will probably be able to meet the first
payroll under the new wage schedule
In Goldfeld and that all wages will
be paid in gold hereafter. This will
have tendency to induce more Of the
miners to return to work than might
otherwise do so, as the one grievance
