Story of "Mada1n Butterfly"

The story of Madam Butterfly has
touched the hearts of opera goers since
it first appeared as the inspiration for
Puccinis beautiful three act opera.
Pinkerton, an American naval officer is
stationed at Nagasak. He succumbS
to the destinations of Cho-Cho-San, the
geisha girl, afterwards called Madam
Butterfly. Through the marriage bro
ker Goro he arranges all details for a
Japanese wedding. In a charming villa
on the heights above the harbor, and
accompanied by his friend Sharpless,
through the quaint native ceremony
amid much chanting and tinkling Of
bells, while Butterf1y's relations make
merry in a wedding feast. Here he
passes the time Of his furlough, amused
by the pretty airs and graces Of his
winsome girl-wife. Butterfly is devoted
and plans her life to please his every
within. She renounces the religion of
her fathers and sacrifices the right Of
protection from her family. But her
happiness is brief. Her hero sails for
home, Indifferent to his obligations.
But Butterfly, sitting day by day in
her picturesque little home, lovingly
awaits his return. Then comes the
beautiful little boy, whose blue eyes
and sunny hair constantly remind her
of Pinkerton. Poor little Butterfly
waits three years with no news. One
day the Consul comes with letter to
undeceive her, but his heart fails him
on observing her childlike faith. Sud-
denly Pinkerton's ship is sighted enter
ing the harbor. His near approach
brings a day of wild joy to Butterf1y's
heart. She decorates the house with
flowers and lanterns for gay recep-
ton. Then with her child and faithful
maid they take their positions at the
shoji and wait. YEARLY they watch
through the gloom of night till day
break, but Pinkerton does not appear

dies, but it has set a pace in this di-
rection that is at least full season in

cal play, 1.-THE Time, the Place and
the Girl" which will be offered at the
Grand on Saturday afternoon and
evening for the first time in this city.
1t is a play that must be placed in a
class by itself. a play with music
fairly bubbling and sparkling with
witty lines, neat plot and many
popular and catchy airs. The scene
is laid at a sanitarium in Virginia,
where Hicks and his pal, Tom Cum
ningham. are forced to flee, having
gotten in trouble the night before in
a Boston gambling house, where
Cunningham in an argument struck
one of the inmates on the head with
wine bottle. The police getting af-
ter them, they manage to reach the

tor Of the place, assigns certain

to do the scrubbing. She refuses and
her meals are summarily cut Off The

of the ruling political party in a large
city to seize a valuable street railway
franchise. To further the project the
machine has elected to the office of
mayor a young man whose family re-
spectability. it is hoped, will serve to
disarm suspicion as to the real power
behind the scheme. However, the
mayor proves to be something more
than the passive Individual his party

refuses to approve the ordinance. He
investigates its terms and, on realizing
that 1t plans a wholesale robbery of
