OLYMPIC PARK OPERA MAKES
HIT WITH WIZARD OF NILE"

That the Aborn Opera Company has
a firm hold on the affections of New
arkers was made evident last night at
Olympic Park when, in spite of the
extreme heat, a good-sized audience
gathered to see n hear "The Wizard
of the Nile" the opera made famous
by Frank Daniels, and the success of
this weeks revival of which was more
or less a matter of guessing.
The libretto contains a lively. clear
plot, which it is unnecessary to relate
here, most persons remembering it well.
as they remember the eccentricities of
Frank Daniels, as "Kibosh," which role
last night was we'll impersonated by
Charles w. Meyer, who revealed a great
deal of natural ability as a funmaker,
and whose efforts were very well re-
ceived. He's funny to look at, which
means a great deal always to a come
dian, and his Kibosh was a joy without
being a clown.
Fritzie Won Busing. as his appren-
tice, won considerable applause, and
Rene Dietrich, a newcomer, made her
self popular with her first entrance.
FER voice is a light soprano, clear and
sweet, and she herself is most pre-
possessing. Horace Wright made a de-
cided hit as Ptarmigan. His voice
was in excellent condition, and New
arkers made it evident that he had
retained a hold on their memory.
Simoona was well presented by Miss
Tillie Sallinger, and Ptolemy, King of
Egypt, was we'll worth while as por-
trayed by William Schuster.
The chorus sang well, was good
looking and graceful, and vas we'll
gowned, all of which has much to do
with a plays success, comic or other
wise. The singing of Star Light, Star
Bright" was one of the best hits in
this excellent performance.

a bag of peanuts as he passed through
stand of good things at the park.
The fun began the very moment we
started. You see we were supposed to
be at the gates at . o'clock, but, CT
course. the cars couldn't hold all of us
at once, so some were late. But we
didn't care. We knew that we'd find
u share when we did arrive.
"What're you goin' on asked one
young hopeful, between surreptitious
pushes OF the button, which made the
motorman stop the car.
Everything" announced the other.
MY mother says l dissent go on the
human roulette wheel. but you waltz
I wonder if he did. Three guesses
for you.
Begin with Peanuts.
After we had entered the park and
stocked ourselves with our peanuts, we
stood still a moment and gasped. There
was SO much to do! 1t was bewilder-
ing, but not for long. We decided to
take things as they came, and rushed
for the roller-coaster, which was near
est. The steps were covered with chill
dren as thick as flies on a three-day-
old piece of flypaper, all scrambling
over Uncle Jack and his assistants in
a strenuous effort to break their necks.
The roller coaster is call to de merry"
as one young John pronounced 1t,
after getting an honest ride on a ticket
and another by dropping over the fence
at one of those right moments so
well known to the genus small boy.
We just fell in love with the merry
g%o-round, operated by John Smith.
Especially "us girls who annot help
being kind O. scary in some things,
We could hang onto a horse n listen
to the music, and catch rings, the
bravest of us, without fear Of being
whirled into another climate.
In the curse of the afternoon the
balloon went up, mic gasps from 5000
throats and unblinking stares from
II, 900 eyes. Chubby Cook made the
ascension. The owner of he balloon is
John Mack. The daring a%eronaut came
near landing in the Passaic River.
Did you ever rid in a balloon swing?
No? Moo? Well, there's a treat COM
ing to you. In we got and round we
WENT, just as edSN as any LulHS. 20
girls liked that pretty we'll, too. It's
so nice and safe, and you get a breeze
that just goes to your heart. The Mar
shalls, who W the balloon swings,
were certainly nice to us.
Those of rs who got there early found
out the delights of the Ferris wheel, run
by e. c. Wood, out when the crowd
came he had to close it up, as every
body wanted to ride at once and the
wheel just naturally couldn't stand it.
We all forgot the hot weather, forgot
home. mother and everything else when
we struck the Human Roulette Wheel"
where Decker and company were in
charge. Honest and truly, its the fun
NEST thing | ever saw: SO round. so
smooth. so tempting, that you simply
couldn't think of staying away from 1t.

REVIVE THIRD
TERM TALK
PRESIDENTS SPECIAL MESSAGE
HAS MADE HIS CANDIDACQ A
POPULAR THEME - FRENCH
FAVORS HIS DENOMINATION.
Special to Evening Teller.


WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.--The re-
cent message of the president to con-
gress has rekindled the third-term
agitation, and has caused a feeling
akin to CONSERVATION in the camps
of the men who are candidates for
the position Mr.. Roosevelt now oc-
cupies, for it is very evident that
there is a very widespread sentiment
favoring his nomination at the Chi
Cago convention. Congressman
French of Idaho is a strong believer
in President Roosevelt, and in con-
versation a few days ago came out
unequivocally for a denomination for
the president. In speaking of the
matter, he said:
II am in favor of President Roose-
vets policies, and believe the con-
ditions in our country today are so
critical that only some one who can
be relied upon to carry out the
Roosevelt policies can bring the
business interests Of the country into
such harmonious relations with the
people and their interests that the
best good for all will result. No one
can be relied upon to do this as we'll
as the president himself. I believe
the president is absolutely sincere in
his desire not to be renOminated, but
believe that if he should be elected,
which is foregone conclusion if he
is nominated, he would not and
could not refuse to assume the duties
OF the presidency any more than he
could have refused to serve in the
war with Spain had he been drafted
instead of having volunteered. He
does not need to be candidate. He
does not need to accept a nomina-
ton. All he would need to do
would be to accept the presidency.
1t is not so much question of who
can lead the republican party to
victory next November. There are
four or five candidates who could
do that. 1t is question of the cleo
tion to the presidency of a man who
has the confidence of the people and
who is doing more than any one
else to solve the greatest problems
that have confronted the American
people since the days of the Civi
war"
