OPERA At LAKEWOODS
PARK PROVES BIG SUCCESS

For the first time in the history of
Gary, grand opera was offered to the
public last mig ht- and that 1t was ap-
rreciated by the discriminating per-
sons who attended this initial essay
into the realm of art. was attested by
the hearty applause vouchsafed to prin-
cipals and to Mr.. Thaviu, the conduct
or. 1t is some little undertaking. to
attempt grand opera with band and
in a summer park It Is another
greater undertaking to bring together
a quartet of singers, who are all I'M
used to each other, and get good re-
suits, but Mr.. Thaviu had the good for
tune to accomplish all this and to him
is due much credit for a really merito-
rious performance and a daring inno-
walton.
The opera is "Cavalleria Rusticana. "
by Pietro Mascagni. 1t is not an easy
opera by any manner of means 1t is
of the modern Italian school, which has
been touched and tinged with the
Wagnerian style and method. The roles
are all written in high key and the
range makes demands on every prin-
cipal that are not easy to fulfill In
this case the singers were in good
voice and sang the score with enthu-
siasm and with a due appreciation of
the story as well as of the music. This
was the first time the singers have
been brought together for the opera
and that there were few evidences OF
nervousness was to be expected, but
there were no serious Interruptions
and from overture to final curtain the
opera was thoroughly enjoyable.

DIVORCE
RECORD IS
EC[|PSED

indianapolis. Ind, June 2S.-More d.
vorces were granted last year in In
diana than in any other year on rec
ord There were 1882 divorces in 1910.
During the year there were 30.s77 mar
riage licenses issued, so that there was
one divorce for every six marriage
licenses. Many of the licenses issued
were never used, and this may bring
the ratio of divorces to marriages up
to a higher figure. but there is no way
of telling how many marriage licenses
were not used
OF the divorces granted the wives
had much the better of the argument
collectively. Legal separations were
granted to women In 3.475 cases, while
men asked freedom in only 1157 cases,
according to the figures The state
statistician's office has compared the
number of divorces granted and mar
riage licenses issued with those of
1909, 1908. 1907 and 1906.
The divorces granted in 1909 were
almost 200 less than those granted last
year. They reached 4,494. with the
wives winning the cases in s.196 in
stances and the husbands in 1925 cases.
The total number of marriage licenses
granted in 1909 was 2s,525. For 1908
the total number of divorces granted
was 4253 The wives won in 3,1S6
cases and the husbands in LILY. The
total number of marriage licenses
issued amounted to 26,960 in 1908.
In 1907 the figures for both were
lower Wives obtained DEGREES in 1857
cases and the husbands in 1913, max
ing the total number of divorces
granted during the year $3.50. The
marriage licenses were much more
numerous than in the preceding year.
In 1906 the total number of divorces
granted was only 1863, of which 2,T95
were granted to women and STA to men.
The causes of divorce have been
tabulated for 1910 from all of the
counties by the state statistician's of
hce and they follow. specifying the
party to whom the divorce was grant
ed:
Abandonment (wife)-754 cases
Abandonment (husband)-396 cases
Adultery (wife)--1e4 cases

Criminal conviction (wife)-45 cases.

| Marion county led in the number OF
divorces granted with SOS to wives and
| 10 to husbands. Vigo came next with
I 22O divorces. Then came Vanderburg
with 22o, Allen with III. st. Joseph
with ITO, Delaware with LAT, Grant
with 1872 and Cass with lis.
| Ohio county won the blue ribbon for
harboring the least domestic infelicity
| Only one divorce was granted there
! during the year. Union county was a
close second with only four divorces
The lone Ohio county divorce was
granted to a wife because of a drunken
husband An amusing feature of the
! figures. according to the belief OF the
! state statistician's office lies in the
| lack of divorces to husbands because
their wives failed to provide for them
! Not a case OF such description was
registered in any OF the reports sem
in by county officials.
