The Stage
ANOTHER AsoRN ENGLISH GRAND
OPERA COMPANY COMING

The remarkable amount OF interest
being Shown in the coming of the
Aborn English Grand Opera Company
to the Grand Opera House, Saturday
night, March sth, for one performance,
demonstrates the appreciation of mu.
sic in lis higher forms which existe
here. Musical authorities have noted
the rapid increase OF interest among
the general public in America in
grand opera, especially when sung in
English, and the great success Of the
last tour OF the Aborn English Grand
Opera Company was proof of this rise
n musical taste. Consequently Milton
and Sargent Aborn have not only re-
tanned Tie foremost favorites In this
.companys double cast or last year,
but have added other noted stars, and
have increased and elaborated the
choral did orchestral complement for
the present season. All OF the mem.
bers arc chosen because OF their Sue
cess with this and other Aborn com.
panies'H their annual engagements in
New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Chi.
cago and other cities to which Messrs.
Aborn have been furnishing grand
opera III English for ten years past.
The double cast system Of alternat.
ing singers, which is followed neces-
sarily BY grand opera companies on
tour, Is maintained in this organiza-
tion, in order that one singer may, rest
during he performance at which the
other artist of the same classification
is appearing, and as d consequence
each one OF the principal artists only
appearsat four performances a week.
The cast includes Edith Helena, the
noted dramatic coprano, and Ivy Scott,
the Australian coloratura soprano,
who arc sharing with each other the
performances in the prima donna
roles; Jayne Herbert and Hattie Belle
Ladd, who divide the contralto parts;
Leonid Samoloff and Eugene Battin,
who fiji in turn the tenor assign
ments; Louis Kreidler and Morton Ad-
kins, who alternately appear in bari.
tone roles: George Shields and vii.
liam Schuster, bassos, Philip Fem
buffo, and Carlo Nicosia, conductor;
while The auxiliary artists include
Gladye Chandler, Arthur Green, Anna
Hull aud others. They will present
for their engagement here, offen.
bach's greatest opera comique, THE
Tales Of Hoffman," a recent sensa.
tional New York success.

WESTERN AEMLocK.

Western hemlock, says the Depart
ment of Agriculture, deserves better
opinion and more general use than 1t
now obtains. Intrinsically it is among
the most important Of western woods.
The wood OF western hemlOCk has
generally been considered an inferior
one chiefly because OF the prejudice
created by the name, which has caused
1t to be identified with eastern hem
lock. Texas by the Forest Service,
however, show 1t to have IS per cent.
the strength Of Douglas fir, one,of the
country's chief construction tImbers.
In fact it is often mixed with Douglas
fir and used for the same purposes.
The wood is practically free from
pitch, has handsome grain, takes
paint and stain well. and works
smoothly. 1t is suitable for sash and
door stock, furniture, interior finish,
framing, flooring, boxes, barrels and
pulp. In bridges and trestles it can
be used for all but the heaviest con-
structlon. When properly treated
with personalities, It is q valuable
cross tie and pole wood.
According to Forest Service Bulletin
lis, the best stands Of western hem
lock are found in the coast region and
through the Cascade Mountains. The
bulletin further gives the results OF
tests by which the mechanical proper
ties of western hemlock have been de-
termlned, and tells of the different
uses to which the wood is adapted.
