Pygmalion and Galatea.


The play. "Pygmalion and Gala
tea" to be given Tuesday night at
the Opera House, is replete with hu-
morous situations, the more subtle that
they are entirely unsupported by the
characters, who repeat earnestly lines
that cause the audience to roar. One
of the best is the scene between Pyg-
malion and Galatea, Immediately after
Galatea, who was statue sculptured
/, by Pygmalion, is given life by the
F! gods. Having been told by him that
she is exquisitely beautiful, she de-
plores the fact that she can not see
herself, whereupon Pygmalion hands
| her mirror.
Then Galatea says: elbow beauti-
fal! | am very glad to know that both
our tastes agree so perfectly. Why,
my Pygmalion, I did not think that
aught could be more beautiful than
thou, till l behold myself =
Believe me, love, I could look in this
mirror all day long. SO I'm wo-
mani" Pygmalion; ''There's no doubt
of thatl'
Gafaiea. 1'oh, happy maid, to. be
! SO passing fair! And happier still,
| Pygmalion, who can gaze at will upon
so beautiful a facel' (Pygmalion
| gently chides her.) "Then, is it
wrong to think that one is exquisitely
fair?' Pygmalion: "Well, Galatea,
it a sentiment that every woman
shares with thee; they think it-but
they keep it to themselveso Tickets
for the play are for sale at Berg

German Concert.
The concert to be given at the Ger
man Lutheran church next Thursday
evening should be well attended. The
program, given below, contains many
of the best compositions of these
GREAT musicmasters, Bach and Wagner
There are so few musicians here capa-
BILE of properly rendering Wagner that
those not on the program will attend
to hear what strictly local talent ear
do with the numbers. Certain it is
those taking part in this concert are
among the best of the local artists, and
for that reason the attendance should
be good, and. Judging by past work
the affair should be an artistic success
