Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1912-02-19

Henry W. Savage's production of
THE Girl of the Golden West" was
presented at two performances yes
terday afternoon and evening at the
Burtis, Davenport. 1t is Giacamo PUG
cini's grand opera, founded on David
Belasco's famous drama AS usual,
Mr.. Savage has spared no pains to
make the performance as good as it
can possibly be made. The opera car
ries an orchestra of AZ pieces. The
work is so heavy that two leaders are
used, directing the orchestra at alter
mating performances. The cast is
strong throughout. In this department
the producer carries four for each prin-
cipal part, each performer taking his
or her turn. The scene of the play, as
the title implies, is the west. The set
tings, typical of the early western
country, are complete in detail and as
elaborate as the scenes will permit
Both audiences at the Burtis yesterday
were more than pleased with It, It is
a new departure in grand opera, and
as it is one of Mr. Savage's hobbies to
bring this form of production to a pop.
ular point before the public, it is more
than probable that tri-city theatre
goers will soon have. another oppor.
tunity to witness performance of like
character.

WHAT PUZZLED THE NEWSB0Y
He Didn't Understand Primary Cause of Trouble, but Motorman Could
 Have Told Him.

It was a very busy hour on Forty second street, and the traffic cops were having their hands extremely full, relates the New York Sun. Just as things were starting along, after complicated blockade, little news boy dropped a quarter, and darted out into the street after 1t, under tle nose of motorman who had just started bis car.
 The indignant motorman threw on the brakes with a jerk. As the car came to a sudden stop an automo bile directly behind it turned sharply to one side to avoid a collision. 1t skidded, the hood coming under the startled noses of a pair of dray hors- es. One of the front tires blew up with a loud report
 This was too much for the horses, and they jumped forward together In another minute the heavily loaded dray was careening down the side walk, the people scattering in terror lamp post was knocked over. and the dray, thrown violently ill the oth CT direction, upset. flinging a couple of heavy boxes through a brilliantly lighted display window.
 The broken electric lights flzzed for minute, then the fiimsy trim mings of the window caught fire, and in a few minutes the changing of the ire department was added to the up roar, and the crowd extended for full block in either direction.
 When the fire was out, and the Wreckage was being cleared away the newsboy. with his quarter safe in his pocket, turned away and start ed down the street, murmuring to himself; Gee. I wonder what be gun all dat fuss!"

as the people of Tucson take an al legged position of undue apathy regard ing the suppression of disturbances affecting Southern Pacific employees, the shops cannot be built with any as surance of safety for Southern Pacific property, and that they win not be built here Until such assurance of safe ty to railroad property and employees is convincingly shown.
