AMUSEMENT NOTES.
"The Chocolate Soldier" Comes to Barre
Opera House This Evening.

One must search the pages of theatri-
cal history with microscope to find a
parallel to the sustained success that
has attended THE Chocolate Soldier
since its opening night on Broadway
three years ago The irresistible mol
odies of Oscar Straus, exquisite lyric
embodiments of every human emotion,
spread over New York that night and
the next morning like the news of f.
nancial panic, and were transmitted with
miraculous speed throughout the coun-
try. The tide of popular prejudice
against light opera was stemmed over
night, and that form of amusement be-
came once more the favorite OF the
American people.
This opera, which wrought such a
Transformation in metropolitan circles,
and still holds undisputed sway over
audiences everywhere, will be presented
in this city tonight at the opera house
by the Whitney Opera company with
production that Mr.. Whitney has rem
ovated and elaborated from stem to
stern. The scenery is fresh from the
studies and the costumes We're made in

Viennese musicians engaged especially
for the third triumphant season. Straus'
music will, it is needless to say, be
heard at its best.

Soldier" is Roy Purvience, and the best
to be said of him is that he is all that
is desired of the part. Miss Alice Yorke
sings the role of Nadina with wonder
full talent; Mildred Rogers sings the
part of Aurelia Popoff; Juanita Fletcher
makes a very fascinating Mascha; Fran

very amusing to everyone; George

their we'll known regulations in the roles

DEMOCRATS MUST GET
OUT AND VOTE NOV. 6
Would Cost State Thirty Thou
sand Dollars If They
Should Fail.

Hon. VIM. ]. Harris, chairman of
the State Democratic Executive Com
mittee, urges Georgians to turn out on
November 9Th and cast their ballots
for Wilson and Marshall electors.
Mr.. Harris takes a practical and
common-sense view of the situation,
and says:
THE requirement of the Georgia
law that the successful presidential
electors in this state must receive a
majority of all the votes cast, makes
it the more important that every dem
ocratic voter shall go to the polls and
cast his ballot on November 5th.
There are five tickets in the field
for president, and the successful presi-
Dental electors must receive more
votes than all other four tickets COM
bined.
"The Democratic ticket must have
not simply more votes than the next
highest ticket, but more votes than all
the other tickets put together. The
vote for the Socialist and Prohibition
tickets will, of course, be small, but
they will count for something. Then
there are the two wings of the Re-
publican prty-the Taft and Roose-
welt wings-each of which commands
it's following, and these are working
heaven and earth to get every avail
able vote they can muster.
IF, for any reason, the Democratic
presidential electors should fail to get
more votes than all of these four tick
cts combined, even by one vote, it then
would be necessary to call the legisla-
ture in extraordinary session, at the
expense of the state of 100000
If the Democrats of the state will
only turn out and vote November 9TH
no only will they give Woodrow Viii
son an Overwhelming majority over
all the other tickets in the field, but
they will make unnecessary such an
expensive meeting of the legislature
and they will help to place their state
in a position OF party and national
power which, for many years she has
held"
