The visit of the Aborn Opera COM
pany to this city on January fifteenth,
when it will appear at the Gennett. is
an interesting one in the musical life
OF the town.
This organization presents grand
opera in English and it's repertoire in
cludes all the classics and standard
operas, the company playing week en-
gagements in many places, including
Indianapolis and Cincinnati in this
vicinity.
The opportunity afforded the music
lovers and theater going public of the
city, therefore, is one which should
be taken advantage Of Mr.. Murray,
under whose regular managerial aus
pices the Aborn people come to Rich
mond, is anxious that the presenta-
ton should be one which the great
est number would prefer, and intends
to give the local public the privilege
of selecting any one of the six operas
| in this seasons repertoire. These in
clude the following:
"Martha," 'Thais," "Tales of Hoff-
man." Lucia di Lammermoor," III
Trovatore," and MADAME Butterfly"
While the latter is always popular
it has been presented in Richmond
within the past two years or so, and
is, as is we'll known, a lyric tragedy,
founded on the novel by John Luther
, Long which was, later, dramatized
by Belasco, and then turned into opera
by the Italian composer, Puccini, the
book being written by Italian lbret-
fists.
Either MARTHA" Lucia di Lam
mermoor" or III Trovatore," would
doubtless be satisfactory since all are
full of dramatic action and their mu-
sic colorful and melodic, besides being,
in the score, more or less familiar.
Donizetti's Lucia di Lammermoor,"
it might be interesting to know, was
first presented in Naples in 1885. the
story being founded on the novel by
Scott--"The Bride of Lammermoor.
Also that Flotow's "Martha," is a
comic opera in four acts whose sub
title, is, oddly enough, THE Market
at Richmond" and was first heard
in Vienna in 1S47.
And that Offenbach's 1.-The Tales of
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1911-12-23

Hoffman" was first heard in 1881,
and Massenet's THAT'S" more recently.
Here, then, is chance, for the
town to make its own selection, and
it would be a reflection on its musical
acumen if it did not hasten to take
the chance.

SUNDAY AT THE SPRINGS

Sunday was an ideal day, and large
crowds went down to Silver Springs
in the early morning, and enjoyed ev-
erv minute of the time until along in
the afternoon old Jupiter Pluvius
turned over his sprinkling wagon and

Quite a crowd of folks took in the
Conner trip. among them being Mrs.
H. G. Mills, the Misses Mills, Mr. and
Mrs. A. P. Gilmore and children, Mrs.
Jameson, Miss Jameson, Miss Sykes,
several young gentlemen and also a
half dozen small boys. This trip is
the boys delight.
The WenOna listed nine excursion
lists and at 9 a. m, shipped her ca
BILE from the dancing pavilion at Sill
yer Springs and cleared for the Lit
tie OkIawaha and the Kyle and Young
canal. Everything worked smoothly
until the boat had almost reached the
thirtieth mile-pOle when the threads
on the crank-shaft slipped. Capt. J.
w Randall then drifted back down
stream to Sharp's Ferry, where he Sc
cured a thread-cutting machine from
the mill there. New threads were cut
and new set-screws placed, but all this
took time and it was p m, before
everything was fixed. Messages were
sent to Capt. Mason at Conner for
the Oregonion and for the auto truck.
Capt. Mason, in a few minutes had his
Oregonious out, and she was making
fully 20 miles an hour up stream,
awakening the mighty forests with
the chug-chug of her machinery. The
flying Oregonian had reached Graham
vile when she was hailed to ''heave

CRUSADE AGAINST LocKER-cLUB
EVIL

Atlanta April IA strong crusade
is about to be inaugurated by the At
lanta police commission against some
of Atlantas locker clubs, which they
declare have become, in certain in
stances, nothing more than thinly-
yelled bar-rooms. Startling revela-
lions of the methods in vogue in some
of the clubs have followed police in
vestigations, and it is probable that
several licenses will be revoked this
week. The action has been agitated
and favored by the Georgia Anti-Sa-
loon League for some time past.
Among other evidence, it was learn
ed that one of the small locker
clubs took in over $500 for drinks
last Sunday afternoon, and that many
of the purchasers were not members
of the club or out-of-tOwn visitors
Most of the drinks served, it is stated
were high-balls. Scotch and rye and
gin fzZes.
