"The Merry Widow"

A brilliant audience that filled the Jefferson theatre from bottom to top greeted the opening performance of "The Merry Widow engagement last night. This company is one of three of Henry W. Savage's Merry Widow" troupes and is known as the Chicago company. While it Is not quite so large as the New York troupe. it is, like all of MT. Savage's companies, ex- cellent Nothing in the way of opera seen here since Savage presented Madame Butterfly last season has so delighted Birmingham theatregoers as Lehar's operetta--the greatest musical hit if recent years.
 The libretto Is entertaining and the music is light but highly artistic every bit of it. The many dance forms in the work have enabled the composer to express his poetic ideas with a wealth of fancy and masterful grace that appeal readily to all lovers of the beautiful in musical art. The choruses, and waltzes, and wild Oriental dances are all tuneful and nearly very num- Der Is a gem, but the most delicious strains are in the Merry Widow"
 
 and it is sung and it is played over and over, with varying orch estral color.
 While there are no great singers in the company all the voices are good and the ensemble of the performance last night was in every respect satisfactory. It is this ensemble indeed and a perfect artis- tic balance that distinguish MT. Savage's 1 companies. The costumes were excep- | tionally rich and the stage settings were | brilliant and picturesque.
 Rosemary Glosz, as Sonia, the leading role, was fully equal to her difficult part She is a very fascinating woman. She i sings well and her dancing is the per l lection of art.
 1 Franceska Kaspar, as Natalie. the ann | bassador's wife, made a charming im- presslon. She Is young and graceful. She possesses a fine colarture voice, and her vivacious acting last night added greatly ! to the pleasure of the audience. | Charles A. Pusey was altogether &C., | ceptable as Papoff, the Marsovian am- 1 bassador. George Dameral made good Prince Danilo and Thomas Leary as Nish, was a mirth-provoking comedian. There | are no sticks in the company, and that fact is always appreciated by the audi ence "The Merry Widow orchestra is composed of picked artists and it ip it. | self is a treat
 The operetta will be repeated tonight, tomorrow afternoon and tomorrow night. |

INFORMATION from Washington

INFORMATION from Washington conveyed the intelligence that just before the holiday adjournment. there passed the Senate bill in- troduced by Senator Teller to suspend the law providing that as- sessment work must be done to hold mining claims. But the bill did not reach the House before ad- journment, and as a consequence 1t failed of enactment. But the re- markable feature is that Arizona and New Mexico were not included in the bill. When questioned Se- nator Teller said he omitted the two territories because had they been included the bill would have been killed-such is the hostility in Congress against the two ter ritories. That is a very remark able admission.

THE RIGHT OF REPATRIATION.

Readers of THE OASIS in foreign lands, of whom there are many, and those particularly who are of American citizenship, together with many readers residing in the United States who have interests in Sonora, will note with attention the notice published elsewhere in this issue by Mr. Lee, the American consul at Nogales, Sonora, Mexico, with regard to passports and regis tration of American citizens re- siding or visiting within the jur- isdiction of the consular district which is applicable however to all American citizens residing abroad.
 This notice from Consul Lee brings to attention a recent enact ment of the Congress of the United States dealing with the question of repatriation and the rights of American citizens abroad, partic- ularly those of American citizens of foreign birth who have natural ized in the United States and re- turned then to their native lands, in many cases permanently, but claiming always the privileges of American citizenship, including evasion of military service, taxa tion, etc.
 A new provision in the law cited provides that any American citizen is deemed to have expatriated him. self who has become naturalized in a foreign land or taken an oath of allegiance to foreign state. The law expressly expatriates natur- alized American citizen who has returned to the country of his na- tivity and resided there two years, or has resided five years in another country. The time limit imposed upon naturalized citizens leaving the country is new completely.
 Under the new law there has been established in the State De- partment at Washington a citizen ship bureau which is to maintain a systematic search for cases of ex-

THE Arizona Daily Star is a great newspaper. It knows good thing when it sees one, and is not averse to appropriation of that good thing. It commenced the New Year nobly by making its leading editorial Wednesday two weeks ago the article which was the lead- CT in the previous Saturdays edi- tion of TIE OASIS. Not that offence is taken is this noted, for the writer is fiattered that another is willing to assume credit for his lucubrations. While a fine news paper, were the Star to cull more from the columns of THE OASIS its tone and standard would be inn proved greatly.

Under the regulations promulgated it is the duty of all diplomatic and consular officers to notify the State Department as soon as they learn that an American citizen has be- come naturalized or sworn alleg- lance abroad. The facts are to be certified under seal, and the certi- fcation will be filed in the citizen ship bureau Under the time limit all naturalized citizens living abroad who have resided in their native countries two years or in foreign lands five years are ex- patriated already. But exceptions are made in three classes of cases. Presumption of self repatriation may be overcome for the present by giving satisfactory evidence to an American diplomatic or consular officer that the naturalized Amer ican who has overstayed his time limit abroad is residing there solel y as 8 representative of Amer ican trade and commerce, but that he intends returning event ually to the United States to reside here permanently; or that he Is abroad for health or educa- tion, but intends returning to re- sume his permanent residence within the United States; or that his return has been prevented by some unforeseen or controlling ex- igency beyond his power to fore see"-which means very likely an extension to the individual pocket of the present financial depression, or to put the case more plainly going broke"
 One of the duties of the new bureau in the State Department is to maintain a full and complete registration of American citizens abroad, and for this purpose MT. Lee calls attention to the law and the necessity for registration at the nearest consular office, or securing passport. All particulars in these matters may be obtained by addressing any American consular officer abroad.
 In general terms 1t may be stated here that new form of re- gister has been provided at the consulates, in which the consul asks every American citizen, native or naturallzed, residing in his dis trict, to enter his name, place and date of birth, last residence in the United States, date of arrival in the consular district, present resi- dehce therein, the reasons for his being there, the names, birthplaces and residences of his wife and cnil- dren, with proof of his American citizenship. For purpose of iden- tifcation with local authorities a certificate of registration" is given the citizen, and duplicate of each registration and each certificate is capt to tho huraau of c;ti1anchi,, n 4

system outlined there will be in the State Department an official catalogue of aI4 American citizens abroad; and the moment any claim for protection is lodged with the Department, all the vital facts will be at hand immediately.
 American citizens travelling abroad or residing there for short time only should be provided with passports. Hereafter they will be issued through the new citizenship bureau only. They are good for two years. Emergency passports good for six months only, are is- sued in countries where passports are obligatory, where the author ities will not accept the certificates of registration, and cover a single journey only. All passports are registered at Washington, and with the registration keep the State De- partment in touch with all Amer jeans citizens abroad.
 Other points in the new law are interesting. Among them is a special catalogue of American widows residing abroad. An Amer ican woman marrying a foreigner and going abroad, expatriates her self at once. Becoming widow her return to the United States will restore her citizenship. But if she prefers to remain abroad for any reason, she may regain her citizenship by registering at an American consulate within the first year of her widowhood. Under the same law foreign woman marry ing an American within the United States becomes an American citi- zen immediately. In widowhood she remains an American citizen so long as she remains in the United States.
 A census of American children abroad is being compiled also. For the sake of the better protection guaranteed under the new law all children born to American fathers abroad should register in an Amer ican consulate between their eigh- teenth and nineteenth birthdays, declaring at the same time their intention and desire to remain citi Zens and become residents of the United States. Each must state the birthplace of his father in the
 
 United States, or where natural ized, and the statement is made in tripljcate, of which one copy is filed in the consulate, another in the American embassy at the capital of the country, and the third in
 . citizenship bureau at Washington. Three years later, or between his twenty first and twenty-second birthdays he must return to the consulate and take the oath of allegiance to the United States which must be copied in triplicate II Io1 A |.
