THE BOHEMIAN GIRL"

On May 9th the Alma Choral Un-
ion will present in costume "The Bo-
hemian Girl" by Balfe, at the Opera
House. This standard opera is fam
liar to all classes by reason of its ev-
er popular melodies. 1t has been pre-
sented in all the great music centers
of the world; in Italy as la Zingara'
in Austria as "Die Zignenerin" and in
Germany under the name of LA Git
ana"
The music is high grade but catchy.
Every emotion is portrayed by beauti-
ful but simple melodies which are cas-
lily remembered. The most familiar
are Heart Bowed Down, "Come with
the Gypsie Bride, "Then you'll Re-
member me" and IL Dreamed, / dwelt
in Marble Halls"
The plot centers about Airline, the
daughter of an Austrian count and
Thaddeus an exiled Polish noble. Ar
line in her childhood is stolen from
her home by the gypsys. Thaddeus
is temporarily camping out with the
latter to avoid unpleasant circum-
stances with the existing government.
He falls in love with Airline as soon
as she is old enough and to complete
"the inevitable triangle" the gypsy
also loves Thaddeus.
The villain in this case, woman,
sees to it that Airline is accused of
theft. The judge is no other than the
heroines long lost father the count
Nothing further will be divulged ex-
cept that the story comes to a happy
ending to the accompaniment of tam
borines, gypsy scarfs, catchy tunes
and enough pistol shots to make it
exciting. There is large, conspicu-
Gus funeral for the party who deserves
it, but everyone else gets everything
they want and '1ive happily ever af-
terwards.
The chorus, college orchestra and
principals have spent several months
practice under the splendid direction
of Mr. Veatch, who will conduct the
opera. Miss Waite and Mr.. Richie
have planned the staging and have
coached the principals and chorus in
dramatic action.

MARSHALL WRIGHT ISSUES
SET OF REGULATIONS
Laws in Regard TO Autos Are 10 be
Rigidly Enforced in Future,
Says City Official.

City Marshall John Wright, has an
nounced some new regulations which
will govern automobile drivers in AL
ma in the future.
First of all. fast driving must be
absolutely cut out There is a city
ordnance in regard to the proper
speed for automobiles driving with
in the city's limits and this must be
obeyed.
Secondly; while turning corners,
cars turning to the left must make a
wide turn and after making the turn
must stick close to the curb. Cars
turning to the right must make a
short turn and remain close to the
curb in doing it.
Thirdly; all cars must be parked"
That is if the driver wishes TO make
stop on the side of the street which
is the left for him, he must make the
turn at the next corner and not be-
tween corners.
Lastly; unless these three com
mandments are obeyed, arrests will
be promptly made.
The fact that no serious smashups
have yet occurred is no excuse for the
continuance of practices which these
rules would abolish. The Mayor and
Council are back of Marshall Wright
in the enforcement of these rules and.
unless they are obeyed Justices Mann
and Sandell will be mighty busy men
during the coming summer months.
