BILL including Mascagni's "Cavalleria
Rusticana" and Humperdinck's famous
fairy opera, "Hansel and Gretel.'
Lucia di Lammermoor," the offering
for Monday Tuesday and Wednesday
evenings and the Wednesday matinee, is
the masterpiece of Gaetano DoniZetti, one
of the greatest of Italian opera cOmpos-
ers of the lyric school, who in this COM
position has surpassed the beauties of all
his other works Sir Walter SCOTS ia
nous story, 1.-The Bride of Lammermoor,"
forms the text of the opera. The score is
filled with beautiful melodies, including
the famous sextet 'Cavalleria Rustf-
cana" with its ibretto based on a SIM

brought it's composer, Mascagni, into in
slant fame Its score is rich in melody.
'Hansel and Gretel was one of the most
popular offerings of last season, espe-
cially with the children, for whom it has

taken from the familiar legend of THE
Babes in the Wood Both operas will be
sung at all performances Thursday. Fri

Right Material in Each District.

needed as lawmakers. soldiers. sailors or
civil service officials the right material
can always be found in each congress

May i not also suggest that so far
as the interests Of Washington are con-
cerned they would be better subserved
under the apportionment plan than the
higher percentage plan. since under the
former every district in the country
would be represented here, and whereas
under the latter it is possible. or. rather,
probable, only few would be thus rep
resented: in other words. IT would be
congressional representation against CEN

in question, the DR.. Syntax books
were written by William Combs, to

to be possibly 100 years old.
