AT THE ILLINOIS.

No light opera of recent years has
created such a delightful impression
upon the music loving public as THE
Chocolate Soldier" which will be the
attraction at the Illinois next Friday.
The theme Of the opera has been
taken from the work of Bernard
Shaw's Arms and the Man." and the
magic genius of Oscar Straus created
the rhythmetic, tuneful music which
is being sung and whistled even now,
after several years first production.
This same little gem of the musical
world has the distinction of breaking
all records heretofore made in New
York City, the home of comic opera
runs. Straus took the satirical tale
of Shaw's and wove a romantic aban-
don of heart and love interest which
thrills old and young alike. During
the operas run in New York City
thousands of college boys and girls
went to hear it, not only once, but
twice and thrice. They listened with
rapt attention to such lyrics as my
Hero" THE Tale OF Coat" 1.-THE
Letter Song" Sympathy" and Never
Was There Such Lover" Mr.. Whit
ney has spared no expense on the pro-
duction for this season. Originally
he went to the scenes OF the operas
locale and became imbued with the
air, color and life of the people who
make up the action OF the charming
opera AS a result the detail OF the
scenes in Bulgaria are just as they
are in actual life and Mr.. Whitney
imported all the quaint costumes. en-
broideries and martial glitter direct
from the Dragoman Pass OF Bulgaria,
the home OF the Chocolate Soldier. A
splendid company is always necessary
TO properly interpret the music OF
The Chocolate Soldier and Mr..
Whitney considers he has kept up the
reputation he So well deserves In en-
gaging his people this season. Among
others there are Nannette Kopetsky,

One of the motions asks annulment of
the verdict returned against the young
factory superintendent on the ground
that both the defendant and his counsel
were absent from the courtroom when
the verdict was returned. This is held
to have been in violation of the consti-
tutional rights of the convicted man.
Franks absence was suggested by Judge
Roam, who presided at the trial. as it
was feared physical violence might be
done the defendant in case of a verdict
OF acquittal was returned.
The other motions ask a new trial on
the claim of newly discovered evidence
repudiating portions of evidence given
by witnesses at the trial, especially that

pairing the case.

The LURE OF THE LAND.
By DIR. FRANK CRANE.

pressed.

society, law and destiny
If any youth that has git-upand-git in
him reads these lines it is to be hoped
that he may profit by the following sus-
gestions:
The trouble with you, my friend, is city
tits. That is, you have the delusion that
the big town is the only place for you.
Whereas, the city is overcrowded. the
wages of labor is forced down by exces-
sive competition, the conditions of life
are abnormal, and if you are jobless and
abIe-bodied and of sound mind the city is
a hard place for you
Besides this, the crowded city life is
full of inducements that lead to your un-
doing. Get out. Go into the country.
Save your money. Acquire a piece OF
land. Be farmer.
1t is a habit of mind of the fool city
dweiler to look down upon the country

pense of the "rube'' or the 'hayseed."

hence respect yourself. You are depend

he works for himself. His labor is re-

And, of course. there is a certain lone
someness about country life. But that is
the very point upon which you should
adjust yourself. Make up your mind tC
forego that useless crowd-hunger of cit
les, that sheep-instinct that makes mer

The day is past when to be a farmer
