/ Increases Capital Stock-The Impe-
rial Valley Hardware Company today
gives notice of the increase of it's cap
ital stock from 100000 to 100000.
This is due to the recent absorption
of the Wolflin- Hamilton furniture
business. While the company has
been one of the largest in the val
ley. this is a great addition and leaves
it but few rivals in magnitude among
the corporations in the valley.

the Opera House March II and 13
will be the Studebaker theatre, Chi
cago, new scenic production of "The
Winning of Barbara Worth This
play. as the title indicates, is a drama
tization of Harold Bell Wright's cele-
brated novel. In constructing the stage
version, Mark Swan, the dramatist,
has kept close to the story and none
of the strong characters who have reg
istered in the memory of the reader
of the book will be found missing. The
novel furnishes unlimited opportunity
for magnificent and massive scenic
display, which has been fully taken
advantage of by the producers.
A Modern Eve"-A word as to the
authorship of "a Modern Eve which
is now on its first western tour and
viii fill an engagement in this city
at the Opera House on Thursday,
March II. Victor Hollaender, who
wrote most Of the score, is ranked as
the best composer of light music in
Germany During his twelve years
association with the Metropo theatre
Of Berlin he never had failure. He
has written more than fifty operettas
ard musical comedies, two grand op-
eras and the score to the pantomime
"Sumurun." Jean Gilbert, named as
his collaboration, is a younger Berlin
composer, also of undeniable talent.
/ The librettists, George Okonkowski
and A. Schoenfeld, are two clever Ber-
/ lin playwrights. The staging of Mr..
Singers production of "a Modern
Eve" was directed by Frank Smithson,
whose ingenuity for striking effects
and skill in managing ensembles
places him at the head of his profess
sion in this country.
