to furnish her with absolute proof.

On the Saturday matinee OF the opera,
a new ballet 81 Ecole en- Crinoline. by
Mrs. Hemmick, will be presented by
Pavlowa. Great interest centers in this
effort Of Mrs. Hemmick, for she has
personally arranged not only the score
and ballet as whole, but has been the
presiding genius for the construction
and presentation Of the scenes with
Pavlowa.
The best feature of the pres
ent engagement of the opera here Is
that 1t promises not to be merely
single season, but to become an institu-
ton. Its patrons both in this city and
outside are working toward a perma-
nent arrangement by which Washing
ton will be given opera season every
year.
Let US hope that the Washington
Grand opera committee does not die on
Saturday night.
Not only for civic and social reasons
is opera desired in Washington. but it
is recognized that opera Is a tremendous
artistic stimulus to the city. and an In
spiration to all that are engaged in any
of the arts. Artisticaily the offerings OF OF
end of stir in New York, philadelphia,
Boston, and the other cities in which
the company has been seen.

the fact that the Boston company will

has almost revolutionized scene paint
ing. His scene painting for The Love

nounced a remarkable conception. His
scenery for the ballet numbers and the
other operas is little less notable.

The Little Minister recalls
the fact that this Barrie play re-
ceived it's first production in
this city. bringing fame not only to
the author, but TO Miss Adams as well.
For some time Miss Adams has been

Therefore We the undersigned
citizens of the United States and res
