Columbia Players Will
Aid Hurt Stage Hand

The extra matinee OF THE Amazons'
to be given by the Columbia Players
Tuesday afternoon at the Columbia
Theater gives voice 10 one Of the most
touching appeals that has been made
to the public in years. IN that the en-
tire receipts will be given to man
who probably will never again be .ree
from suffering and who will, as long
as he lives, require the constant at:en-
ton OF the faithful wife who has SO
nobly stood by him in his misfortune.
Eight months ago. William A. Walker.
called by his friends Six was one or
the most robust men In Washington,
and delighted In undertaking those
tasks that required excessive strength.
He was employed at Polls Thea'e.,
where he was admired for his many eX-
cellent qualities. In the discharge OF
his duties as stage hand one morning.
he was told to brace a stack Of scenery
that was being lifted out from the stage
wall in order that particular piece
that was on the bottom Of the pack
could be taken out.
The weight became too great. Walker
was caught beneath the pile and when
ne was TAKEN OUT he was a iiiup hdss-

he was rushed. 1t was found there was
a fracture of the spinal column AMI

has been removed from the hospital.
because the institution makes no pro-
vision for incurables. and he now occu-
pies bed OF pain In little room on
Twelfth street. where his wife Is con-
stantly In attendance upon him.
Several friends among the profession
have contributed to what measure of
relief was possible and the theatrical
Mechanics Association have borne their
share of the expense, but beyond this
the family is without means. Learning
the facts, the members of the Columbia
Players enlisted themselves In the mans
behalf and quickly secured the co-opera-
ton of Managers Metzerott and Berger
in the giving Of a special matinee for
his benefit. Everything. including all
services. will be contributed and the en-
tire receipts OF the performance will be
presented to the Walker family.

ABORN COMPANY TO
HAVE GOOD SEASON
Matinee Will Be Held on May
80 in Addition to the
Regular Features.

The second week Of the Aborn Eng
lish Grand Opera Company at the New
National Theater will be one of the
most popular of their, present successful
Washington season, as two decided fav-
orites have been selected for the nine
performances of the coming week. as
there will be an extra matinee on FRI
day. May 30. beside the regular Wednes-
day and Saturday matinees.
Puccini's fascinating Madam Butter
n.y. will be sung Monday. Tuesday, and
Wednesday nights, and Verdi's brilliant
and beautiful III Trovatore" will be
Given Thursday, Friday, and Saturday
nights and the Saturday and special
Decoration Day matinee on Friday
next.
Madam Butterfly" stands out as one
Of the strongest favorites of the grand
opera list and appeals not only to the
lovers Of music, but to the casual thea
ter goer because Of the exquisite beauty
and countless melodies in the score OF
the opera. The story Of the opera Is
taken from the drama of the same
name by John Luther Long and David
Belasco. This famous work, of the
modern school is different from the
average opera Of the heavier, more pom
derous style. following Wagnerian prin-
cipals in. that it is filed with easily rec
ognized musical beauties.
The score Of Verdfs II Trovatore" is
one of the most graceful and beauti-
full of all operatic compositions, and is
also one Of the most popular of all
times and countries. and is especially
delightful when sung In English. Other
grand operas written. in the approved
scientific style of later years attract
small audiences of advanced musicians,
while such dearly loved favorites OF
long standing as Trovatore continue TO
draw the crowd of music lovers who go
TO enjoy and not study the technicali-
ties Of the work.
