Though more than half cent tury old,
1.-The Bohemian Girl" is as popular to-
day as when 1t was written. 1t ranks
among the operas, as does Shakespeare
among the dramas. No opera of its
kind contains so many beautiful melo-
dies. The Heart Bowed Down." "I
Dreamt That Dwelt in Marble Halls"
and "Then You'll Remember Me-" are
melodies that live in the heart of ev-
eryone and are sweet and tuneful.
The scene of the opera is laid in the
town of Presburg, Austria. The prin-
cipal parts and those taking them are

that has developed between Airline and
Thaddeus. Several of them are COM
manded to appear at the hall of justice
before Count Arnheim, who at once
recognizes his lost child, grown to
womanhood Airline is positively iden-
tilted by scar on her arm, which was
inflicted during her sixth year by
wounded stag. The count, upon learn

plores her not to throw her life away
by becoming the bride of a nomad.
