 The wonderful power that love, ture of one person, can exert upon the personality of another, may be seen in 'fThe Right Princess an emo tiona1 drama with Maude Fea1y and James Durlxin in the leading roles, at the Park Wednesday evening, Feb. 18th. The theme of the play written in three acts byN Clara Louise Burn ham, breaks away from the ordinary and is freshingly original, carrying with it an object lesson well worth needing. Miss Fealy has the role of '"The Right Princess in the person of Miss Frances Rogers the niece of the title. The heir to the title has been suffering from g. mental defect since childhood when he met with a seri- ous accident. All efforts to cure him have been unavai1ing until finally Miss Rogers comes upon the scene. This brings the promise of light through mental suggestion.

HAVE YOU SOMETHING
TO SELL? - 80 -. -.

If so, do you tell the public
about it? If you do, how do
you do it?
And what sort of reputation
is back of the merchandise you
are offering?
The answers to these ques-
tons may spell success or fail
ure to many a merchant.
From an intimate association
with a wide circle of concerns,
merchandising all the neces-
saries of life, we venture to say:
"The quickest and surest way
to reach the public is through
the columns of a dependable
daily newspaper like The Times
Recorder-one that has a high
standing in the community it
serves, and has the confidence
of it's readers.
"The most dependable articles
sold today are those to which
the manufacturer is not afraid
to attach his label--that is to
say, his reputation.
Retail merchants are now
joining hands with the manu-
facturer, and the public is thus
doubly guaranteed against in
feriority.
"The combination Of manu-
facturer and retailer plus good,
clean newspaper advertising,
means success to them both,
with the maximum of satisfac
ton to the purchaser"

AS TO OPERA IN ENGLISH

stein threatens to give in New YORK
next winter. Few would contend that
English is an inherently singable Ian
guage. 1t has too many harsh COZ
sonants and it lacks broad, open
vowels. A comparison Of the liturgy
sung in English with the liturgy sung
in Latin will emphasize this point. At
the same time there is beauty though
in English if it be properly spoken or
sung. The poets have not found any
difficulty in appealing potently to
the ear. There are plenty of English
songs which good singer can make
beautiful, though singers whose native
tongue is English seldom do so. Can
Nine. Eames herself equal Nine. Sem
brich in this respect? Is the trouble
in the language or in the faulty enun-
citation? Those who have suffered
much at concerts will be inclined to
put the blame up on the latter.
Opera in English suffers under no
worse handicap, at any rate, than
opera in German. The Germans like
their own language in music, and
there are many fearsome permormanc-
es in French or Italian operas in Ger
man cities in consequence. But should
not German operas be sung in German
Notwithstanding? The real objection
to operas in English is that works
written to a libretto in another lang
uage suffer by translation. 1t is upon
the whole wise policy which the
great opera houses in this country
have followed in giving every opera in
it's original tongue. That is one point
of their superiority to the opera hous-
es of Continental Europe. The more
an opera smells of the soil, so to say,
the more distinctively national it Is,
the more it suffers by sea change in
to something strange. "Lohengrin"
sung in French must always be an
absurdity. Probably to an ItaliN.
Aida is equally absurd in Englis l,
though aida" is not national 10
scene or motif. We are used to operas
in translation, and 1t must be said that
many admirable performances have
been so given. Most Americans are
so slow at learning languages that
this is doubtless the best way TO make
opera popular But the fact remains
that as a rule an opera is only heard
at its best when the original libretto
is retained.

With the general use of automo
biles throughout the country the de
mand for better roads is more insist
ent every day. In former times the
old horse could pull through the mud
and slush, and get to town and back
to keep the larder from getting
empty, but some tens of thousands OF
automobilists after having been
stuck in the mud have given up the
idea of defying bad roads. So the
good roads problem is very much OF
a live issue, and former Senator
Bourne in a report based upon ex
haustive investigation of the subject
proposes to meet the question in all
it's fullness He wants an eXpendl
ture of three billions of dollars, sot
which one third is to be for building
and two thirds for maintenance, the
amount extending over a period OF
fifty years The plan would cover
