"THE BOHEMIAN GIRL

It is an almost entirely New b.
hemian Girl that the Aborn opera
Company will present at the opera
House on November IA. Not new as
regards to it's music, as all OF the
sweet old melodies are Of course re-
tanned, but in addition thereto, there
are several airs included that were
composed especially for the operate
festival Of the French Second Empire.
The latter were not sung in any
American production of THE Bohem-
ian Girl" previous to their introduction
by the Aborns in their spectacular
version last season, the same as b a
now being given. The claim to new
ness for their production, it is said,
is based on the ~layishness and COM
pleteness with which Milton and Sar-
gent Aborn have put it on. To it, it IS
claimed, they have given a scenic
adornment such as never before had
been supplied to this opera, and one
that takes rank with the famous pro-
auctions of the Metropolitan Opera
House, and in carrying out the de-
tails of the operas six scenes, they
have introduced a number Of novel

AT THE THEATRE
sITA, is 4 PUZZLE

Many citizens of Abbeville have
been mystified by the performances
of "lta," the girl mentalist who vas
the attraction at the theatre all last
week. Whether or not the girl is po-
sessed OF some some mysterious pow
er has afforded a theme for discus
sion the entire week. Many theories
have been advanced as solutions OF
the puzzle, but each night something
has happened to upset every calcula-
ton and Ita is as great a mystery as
ever to the people OF AbbeVille. Fer
haps the cleverest piece OF work done
by the girl was the reading OF an ar
ticle in The Press and Banner which
was selected by a prominent Abbevllle
lady in the audience. During this test
the girl was blindfolded and covered
with a canvass cloth, and yet without
the slightest hesitancy she reclted
word for word the paragraph IN the
paper which had been selected by a
member of the audience, the paper
being retained in the possession I
the person marking the paragraph.
Not only in the theatre but in one
of Abbeville's business houses lta
showed a remarkable insight, intui-
SAN
ton or whatever you may please TO
call it. While purchasing a pair OF
shoes she told Mr.. Sol. Rosenberg,
who was waiting upon her, that the
box which he was about to take from
the shelf contained tan shoes, while
the red shoes (the color she wanted)
were in a box to the right. Upon in
vestigation this proved to be correct.
"Ita" is said by her father, Rinaldo,
to be nineteen years old. She was born
in California, and her ~peculiarities
were first discovered when she was
nine years of age. She has been CIV
ing exhibitions for the past six years,
during which time she has appeared
in many large cities and before many
famous persons. She is said to be OF a
very nervous disposition and retiring
disposition.

following him at a mad pace are a
score of calvarymen. In the Gypsy
camp are seer not only the band of
real Gypsies, but everything that one
would be apt to find in such sur
roundings, dogs. geese. chickens. pigs,
etc., that lend greatly to it's realism.

will be the Hassen Ben Ali troupe OF
whirlwind acrobats, than whom none
are greater, and lastly in the Marble

"BABY NINE AT THE

The announcement of the first To-
cal presentation of the success OF two
continents, Baby Nine" at the Opera
House tonight should be the means
of packing the house to the limit. No
one who has watched the fortunes OF
Baby Mine" will deny that it is one
big unmistakable hit. 1t ran for one
solid year at Days Theatre, New

nous success at Sir Charles Wynd-
hams Criterion Theatre, London. 1t
will also shortly be produced in Par

nowledge no peers and it Is said to
be an unbreken delirium OF laughter.

has so admirably constructed Baby

with ideas that are ingenious and cley-
