This is not saying that grand opera

This really has no bearing on the
actual value.
But il is one of those curious quirks
of the human brain that it is hard to
get around.
The value of the Aborn presentation

text of opera is given in English.
But in familiarizing the public with
the music which accompanies the

They are doing the public an enor

presentation.
The representative of the Aborns
told the writer last week, however,
that the coming production of I'll
Trovatore' would not be disappoint-
ing in the latter phases
That the settings used for this par
ticular opera would be those used at
the time the opera was given under
Presidential patronage at Washington.
To substantiate this he displayed
collection of photographs and stated
that he would forever forswear the
confidence of the public if the origin
ais of these photographs were not
seen on the Gennett stage on the
Twentieth.
The truth is that the Aborns are

Last Spring they had companies in

extended engagements and their re-
polls yearly for a weeks engagement
at the Murat or English theatre.
These companies playing at moder
