was filled to capacity, and the
same enthusiastic reception was
given the opera company as on

two weeks ago.
Gounod's difficult score OF
Faust" was given with the same
ease and artistry that the COM
pany has displayed In all lite
operas.
Tina Schinetti was an adorable
Marguerite, and her high soprano
voice adapted itself remarkably to
the beautiful music of the opera.
Paolo Galazzi. although a BARI
tone, sang the bass role of Me-
phisto with unmistakable effec-
tiveness, and G. Ingar, the young
tenor, proved an excellent Fault.
The music by the opera CON-

completely carried away by the
opera.

Jimmy 8OOu sort, ana q
mighty jolly little fellow.
Shiel was born and raised on
the west coast of Wales. At the
age of ] s he shipped on a square,
rigger as cabin boy.
From the cabin he went before
the mast, and during the follow
ing years he sailed on every kind
of ship that floated, and into ev-
cry harbor of any size in the
world. Jimmy even agrees with
us on this statement SO 1t must
be true.
Every time Shiel reached Ia
coma, however, he felt at home.
He swore to himself every tirue he
was in this port that ii he ever
decided to become a landlubber
this would be his future home.
And the time came. After he
had seen everything there was to
see on this old globe, James de-
cided to try living on land for a
while. So the next time he ar
rived in Tacoma he abandoned his
ship, waited in quiet spot until
the boat had gone out of the har-
Dor again, and then began to cast
about for a job.
Jimmy was a good cook. Chief
of Police Maloney wanted a cook
at the city Jail. Jimmy applied
for the job. Another man want
ed the berth. Jimmy and his COM
petitor entered into a fight for
the city jail job, undertaking
each other, until Shield finally
won out by guaranteeing to serve
meals to the city prisoners at
eight cents apiece.
And Shiel has stuck ever since.
The increasingly high cost of liv.
ing has sometimes tried to crimI
his eight-eent program, but he
has managed to give just as many
beans to the plate, and Just al
much coffee to the cup, through
all the increases of HIS grocery
bills.
Unless you've been pinchet
