AMUSEMENT NOTES.
THE CHOCOLATE SOLDIER.
Abounds III Song Hits and the Comedy
of Human Nature.

With libretto Astounding in the
comedy of human nature and fun of
dramatic freshness and a score fraupht

ing in their tenderness, the next shift
ing to follow the Satire humor of the
moment, The Chocolate Soldier com
pany opened a matinee performance III

advance sale assures a good audience
tonight.
This peerless opera probably has
done more to regenerate light opera on
the American stage than any OF its
contemporaries combined. Never be
fore haAa single opera contained so
many hits; the audience that is accus-
toned to one or two iii an evening is
astonished 10 find that each. of the

out in the order of the commission is
within its legal power. Tie conclusion
follows that the order approving the
issue of convertible debentures and of
