A Complete Grand Opera
Performance at Home
Whole Operas Now Recorded on Disc Talking M

One of the most remarkable things
the modern talking machine has ac-
complished is the reproduction of an
entire opera.
You can sit down at ease in your
own home and hear grand opera
right through, from the opening scene
to the finale-orchestra, chorus, con-
certed numbers and arias by the great
stars, all complete-exactly as if you
were sitting in box in the diamond
horseshoe" at the Metropolitan or Man
haitian opera house ia New York.
AS you listen to one of these home
opera performances, the voices and the
orchestra and the whole musical effect
are so true to life that with the minds
eye you seem to see the veritable
scene-the light and color and glitter
and everything that gives grand opera
by great singers its full dramatic eff
feet.
With such artists as Caruso or Melba
or Tetrazzini in the cast, the magma
tion at flash paints in the scenery
and the action of the singers.

Leoncavallo, selected the artists to in

Quoted the entire performance at the

The making of any operate record is
delicate and trying process, while

CHEERFUL FRONT PUT UP.

Candidate A. NJ Smith is very
much excited over the temerity of
the Morning Astorian IS daring TO
publish the actual figures which stand
for the public obligations of Astoria
and her taxpayers, and as slave for
his wounded pride, rehearses the
coming commercial and industrial
upIift Of he city that are to be the
crowning glory Of her future # we
win but keep our mouth shut.
w dispute Mr.. Smiths claim to
any better and sounder loyalty to the
City Of Astoria than ours, in this be-
half. and declare that we deprecate
the publication Of these figures quite
as deeply as he does; but we are not
forgetting the profound necessity
that urged the exposure and the deep
sentiment of graduation that pos
sesses the people Of Astoria for our
candor. Ii was time the people
were dealt some facts on this score,
that they might guard against the
perpetration of any more Of Mr..
Smiths pet politics in this eommun-
ity, which have been, primarily, at
the bottom OF the graeeiess condition
that Is TO be retrieved tomorrow at
the Astoria polls.
Apropos Of Mr.. Smiths perturba-
ton, we respectfully call his atten-
ton TO the very apt and powerful
letter in this issue, and on the front
page, from Hon. Frank J. Taylor,
which, while il was written before
the appearance Of Mr.. Smiths hys-
terieal and hypothetical sereed in
last evenings Budget, is a direct and
wholesome answer TO his animadver-
sions. IT is really better than any
effort we might have made in this
premise and we gladly leave as re-
spouse in full to the grevious inquiry
propounded by the disgruntled boss
Of the local Democracy.
By the way, and in passing, we beg
to suggest to ali good Republicans
that the sole source Of boosting now
being done for the captious writer Of
the aforesaid screed, are the Demo-
Gratis of Astoria. They are all at
work and no Republican appears n
