The Beautiful Opera Won
Much Applause From
All Present
MUSIC WAS DELIGHTFUL
Mr.. and Mrs. Dodge Ably Assisted b,
Local Talent-Ladies Made Some
Money for the Church

The beautiful comic opera, "The Gyp-
sy Rover" has come and gone but its
departure leaves behind il pleasant
memories that will linger long in the
minds of those who were privileged to
witness this, the premier rendition OF
Mr.. and Mrs. John Wilson Dodge's
most recent production. While ii is
not the custom of the Banner TO devote
much time TO review of the entertain
ments staged at the Belding opera house,
we believe that this first production
should have more than passing note of
its appearance in our city.
"The GYPSY Rover" is a musical pro-
duction with just enough of comedy TO
allow it to pass as comic opera. The
story of the play is woven around the
adventures of scion of royalty, who
while yet in childhood is stolen by a
band of Gypsies. This character is as
sumed by Mr.. Dodge and shows him
at his best and furnishes ample oppor-
tunity for the use of his ma, ficent
tenor voice. Ii is shown at its best
when he sings love song with Lady
Constance which character was beau
tlfully portrayed by Miss Marie Reed,
" Twas Here That | Dreamed of You. "
Again in the second act these two
sing delightfully."- together, "It's Just
l. o V En- where Mr.. Dodge, having
again returned To royalty, sings beau
tiful love ballad with Constance e.
Throughout the run of the play catchy
songs are interspersed.
The first act opens on typical Gypsy
camp with the denizens of the camp
scattered about in a lazy attitude, and
il is here that Lady Constance accom-
panied by Lord Craven first meets and
loves the Gypsy Rover, having become
lost in the woods.
The comedy of the opera was en-
trusted To Messrs. Tom Bracken and
'Ohn Higgins and was well cared for.
leg, the Gypsy, Rob's foster mother,

while Iara, the belle of the camp, was
appropriately handled by Miss Inez
Cole. Miss Sallie Smith took the part
of Nina, Sir George daughter, delight
fully and won much applause by her

Lloyd's store has attracte,plg ch atten-
ton this week from people who have
had occasion TO pass the store, the cause
of the attention being the delightful

training in our public schools.
Manual training was at one time
looked upon rs more Of IA fai than any
thing else, but the results shown by
the fine display of work performed by
the children in the lower grades of the
school shows only too plainly the ben
eiits accruing from the adoption of this
branch of learning in public schools.
The list of articles embraces hand sleds,
umbrella holders, aprons, hammered
copper, towel racks, clothes hangers,
book racks, free hand cutting and many
other useful articles.
No one whe has sesIn this. dlspia,

grades in this department

HIGH CLASS PIANO
Pronounced Excellent by Good Judges
Case Is Thing of Beauty

Case Is Thing of Beauty
During the past week the Malbar pi-
ano exhibited in the window of the
Idlehour theater, To be given in con-
nection with our popular lady voting
contest, has been tested by some of our
most critical musicians and has been
pronounced most excellent.
The mahogany case is a beauty, nicely
finished and well built The full steel
plate is especially strong in its favor.
The piano has a full strong tone, the
base is especially rich and mellow.
The ivory keys ami ebony sharps are
the best and the action is easy. The
instrument is certainly good one.
The tone is brilliant and also SYM
pathetic, with good repeating action,
and is piano that anyone would be
proud TO own. OF course the best of
pianos can be soon injured by careless
usage. A piano should not be exposed
TO dampness and should generally be
placed near an inside wall of ROOM
Other things being equal this piano
should give satisfaction for lifetime
To anyone SO fortunate as to receive the
award.
