editorial published in the New York
Evening Sun of September ~:
"In q time when stage dancing has
have sprung into the very center of
the scene. and stand poised on its
fraif pinnacle. It is not surprising
that they took the public breath
away upon their entrance last year
at the Metropolitan, for their arrival
could not have been more fortunately
timed. The season was dragging;
some Of the new operas failed to
move audiences keyed up to expect
more wonders to flow out of the inn
pressario's magic bottle than that
somewhat conservative magician had
put into it. True, he had hidden the
dancers under his handkerchief, but
even he scarcely guessed how the
dancing puppets would overshadow
the more pretentious figures in his
show-his lyric kings and queens.
'tAnd here's the real point-these
two represent the perfect flower of
tice in q highly specialized center of
stage entertainment. Dancers at the
opera in st. Petersburg and Moscow
form a class by themselves, and these
two are consummate artists IN that
class. And because of their intrinsic
excellence they appeared as q vision
of uninlagined beauty, displayed
splendidly against the rather sober
background of the Metropolitan sea-
SON. The public simply turned away
from the regular performances, and
was more than a craze-it was a
craze with an underlying reason in
it; and for that reason, Mordkin and
Pavlowa need never worry about
their reception this year. They can
come back because they compel ad-
miring attention as outside the pic
ture--alone together In their class"

TURNlNG AN OPERA HOUSE
INTO A BARN FOR TOBACCO

Manchester, Jan. 4-Manchester
may have another large tobacco ware
house within q few weeks. Plans
are now under way to convert Apel's
Opera House, which has been dis
mantled as an opera house, into a
tobacco warehouse and the only
question that is now to be considered
10 whether the people who are to use
it for that purpose viii lease or buy
the place The building is a three
story brick structure, located close to
the railroad tracks, and would make
an ideal tobacco warehouse. The
men who are interested are large to-
bacco packers and have already
bought over 1000 cases of tobacco in
this section, principally in South
Windsor. 1t would make very con-
venient place for them to pack and
IL they decide to buy they will pack
a much larger quantity than the 1000
cases. They now have packing houses
in several sections Of the country and
If they buy. as they are now think
ing OF doing, they will make the ware
house in this place their headquart-
ers and will do most of their business
here IF they decide to buy they will
start at once to pack tobacco and
will employ about fifty men.

MORE MUsCATINE UNREST.
Because of alleged discrimination by
ofioers of the Mckee and Blivan but
ton factory in Muscatine 200 employees
went on strike yesterday after having
worked for two days. The union men
declare that there was unfair discrim-
nation against two of the old employees
who were refused employment by the
company. The new strike occurred
during the absence of Organizer o. c.
Wilson from the city. Mr.. Wilson re-
turned there last night from Rock ISL
and. and when he had learned of the
strike-censured the men for their hasty
action, declaring that had they tried to
settle the matter peaceably that much
trouble might have been avoided. Al
though the work in other shops is far
from organized, there have been no
serious delays. The men are still I'M
settled, but 1t is expected that a few
days of work will remedy all this.
