ABOHN ENGLISH GRAND OPERA

 During is first tour to America several years ago, the Aborn English Gr3n1 OePra Company conf red it's efforts to the older and more fam liar repertoire, generally called popular classics. On their second tour taey introduced several modern novelties : to their repertoire, and each succeed ing season have increased the propor- ton until now the works of the mod 'ern masters predom nate. Last sea- son there were three novelties in ,heir list, and two to these, Madam Butter fly'' and "The Tales of Hoff- man," l-re repeated in their repertoire of this season, while Puccinis beauti- ful La Boheme' which has never be- fcre been presented Engl's sh by a touring company, las also been add ed. A fourth important feature of their routine this year is Humper- dinck's. delightful fairy opera, Han sel and Gretel.' which, on account of tits strong attraction for oh ldren, S being presented at matiTees.

"A LAUGH THAT ROLLS INTO
 THOUSANDo'

This is the universal opinion of ev- erybody who has seen William A. Brady's play Baby 'Mine,' the prod- uct of Margaret Mayo's pen, which will again be seen at the Elks Thea ter, Thursday December 3. This IS just the sort of play to turn tears lll- to laughter, and to give life a rosy hue-so sayeth one of England's most famous critics where Baby Mine scored years run at Sir Charles Wvndham's Criterion Theater in Lon don, and it should be borne ln mlnd that ever in London town they nave heretofore held a strong prejudice against plays of American manufac- ture so this superlative praise i'll fa- yor of Baby Mine' is all the more remarkable.
 Baby Mine'' unlike many a so- called fun play, gets a hold Of thr funnybone of it's audience at the very outset, and proceeds to tickle 1t for two and 8 half hours, not sedately nor modestly, but boisterously and strenuously until the audience fairly shouts with glee. 4 sounS married couple are quarreling the very be-

"THE SPRING MAID.'

s'The .Spr ng Maid had the bubble and d>iOy of rare wine on it's coast to coast tour Last season, and this year critics everywhere have declared that 1t shows even more delightful quali- tes on it's return engagements. There is a reason for this. Webra, and Luescher, it's producers, retain el nearly the entire organization which presented "The Spring Maid" last season, including the celebrated Mizz' Hajos and Charles iMicNaughton and .he splendid cast which proved go notable wherever the opera was sung. The cast has been strengthen- ei both in .ts principals and chorus, and special orchestra insures a rare musical treat when it comes to this city.
 The r'de of even the most unim- pCr,sant chorister i'll the success of the organization $ revealed in per feet s,erformances. The spirit of the cperetta itself, with it's dainty love story and alluring mus c, is reflected in the work of the singers. Webra and Luescher declare that the present company IS the best Spring Maid organization they have ever had. An evidence of the Spring Maids re- pestsr power is, shown in the rev CIV of the opening performance this sea-

starred at lie close of her tour in 'The Spring Maid" Western Con- pany. Miss Hajos returned from abroad to weeks ago and all details were perfect before her company left fer St. Leu s, where she resumed her tour in The Spring Maid.''
 The distinguished authors have agreed to complete the new work by the Holidays so that rehearsals may be started early in the New Year. The ' ece selected is to be musical version of Mir. Pollock's Such Lit tie Oueen," n which MT. Wolf will ccllaborata. New York has already witnessed to successes in less than a year W Messrs. Wolf and Pollock in '.The Red Widow" and My Best Girl"

A POOR TYPE OF CITIZEN.
The Good Man Who Lives by and Ex.
clusively For Himself.

clusIVeiy For FImself.
I know a certain type of man who
poses as a good citizen, says Bert
Walker. He breaks no laws. lives
morally, pays his honest debts and is
never tangled up in lawsuits. But he
lives of himself. by himself and for
himself only.
When a call is issued for volunteers
to take hold of the car of progress and
give a lift he never answers. When
calamity has befallen people in GER
tain locality and charitable humanity
flies to their rescue he is never one Of
their number. When money is needed
to gid the spire of public enterprise
his name IS never on the list. When
he sees some neighbor stuck in the
mud he goes around to avoid him. In
fact, were he standing on the shore
and should observe the ship Of state
fast sinking in the surf, never a life
line would he throw. He didn't bore
the hole in the side of the vessel that
lets in the water. so it is none of his
concern what happens.
But were all mankind made OF this
kind of clay have you ever thought
what would happen? There would be
no churches. no hospitals for the sick.
no institutions for the unfortunate nor
rest rooms for the weary. Civilization
would roam in jungles and the strong
est would rule. He is not good citi-
zen, but gets mad if you say so.-Kan-
