The Administrative Board was very
much relieved 'yeste tday when an
opinion rom che City Attorney noti-
ned the body that the city was not
responsible for any debts contracted
by the Medical College of Virginia
prior to the acceptance of the vir-
GINA Hospital as city hospital, ex-
cept such as may have been desig-
mated In the contract.
According to the City Attorney,
there was nc stipulation concerning
mortgage Several days ago
Chairman L. z. Morris wrote the
board a letter notifying 1t that the
sum OF s2.06z was due as the city's
half Of the interest on a mortgage
This letter was sent to the City Attor-
ney for advice
This letter provoked the board to
action in recommending to the City
Council an appropriation of suf-
ncient sum to build a complete and
up-to-date hospital for the city.
On the suggestion of Commissioner
Beck the board started a movement
for two concrete bridges to connect
the city with its northside adjuncts
Barton Heights and Highland Park
Commissioner Beck was authorized to
proceed In the matter, and T. Craw-
ford Redd was engaged at once to
survey the prospect and TO report
back to the board what II would cost
TO erect the two bridges.
This was provoked to a large ex-
tent by the action of the Virginia
Railway and Power Company In pre-
senung bill to the city for the use
of the two northside viaducts by fire
engines. police patrols. street clean
Ing apparatus. ambulances and other
vehicles owned by the city,
Mr.. Beck said last night that Mr..
Redo had already begun his work.
The board directed J. !. Beavers.
engineer for the northside, to employ
seven men at 81 a day and one fore
man at $3.50 to help him In street
work in Highland Park.
At the request of DR.. r. c. Levy,
chief health officer the hoard asked
the city engineer to look into the
situation on Abigail Street, between

RETURN is
FEATURE OF THE WEEK

One of the most elaborate ballets
ever presented In this country is
'Walpurgis' Night" which is included
in the repertoire of Mile Pavlowa and
her associates who will return, by
popular demand. to the Academy OF
Music for one night, on Thursday,
January 81.
In its original form "walpurgis
Night" was occasionally given by the
Imperial Opera Companies of St.
Petersburg and Moscow, and at the
Paris Grand Opera, where the ballet
organiza tons were OF the size and ex-
ceptionai skill required to interpret its
difficulties.
A part of Faust" and for which
Gounod wrote some of his most beau
tiful music. ''Walpurgis Night" has al
ways been an impressive work. for
drama. terpsichorean and scenic arts
and music are all here Joined with
that degree of nicely that works for
perfection.
The arrangement of "walpurgis
Night which Mile. Pavlowa is to in
terpret. Is more pretentious than that
originally created for use as a part Of
Faust" NJ. Ivan Cuisine who is a
leading member OF Mile. Pavlowa's or
ganization. arranged the ballet which
is known AS the St. Petersburg
version.
Two scenes. painted by the great
English artist. Sidney Fl. Slime, are re-
Quired for the action OF 'Walpurgis
Night" The first represents an open
space In one OF the great forests near
mountain summit; the second, the
Hall OF Apollo on Olympus.
Each of the ballet features incor-
porated In "Walpurgis Night" are Of
striking effectiveness and picturesque
beauty. The large symphony orchestra
with Mile. Pavlowa's organization also
has fine opportunities in interpreting
Gounod's superb music.
In addition to 'Waipurgis Night"
Mile Paylowa will present her very
newest ballet. "Caop.a.aaa," an ar
rangement of some OF the most famous
preludes mazurkas and waltzes BY the
great master Chopin" The scenario
and ballet vas arranged by NJ. Clus-
tine and the orchestration was made
ty the famous Russian Giazounov.
"Chopiniana" was produced for the
first time in America on New Years
Eve and made an instantaneous sue
cess. The series OF advertisements to
be presented here by Pavlowa will be
entirely new and different from any
thing ever before offered by her in
this city.
