NADGE MILLER TO CLOSE
ARTISTS COURSE FRIDAY
Noted Little Contralto Comes Here With
Big Laurel Wreath of Success
Already Won.

/ A charming young artist with lus-
cious contralto voice is Madge Miller
who appears in the sixth number and
closes this years artists course in
the Normal School auditorium next
friday evening A magnetic and
graceful stage presence adds much to
Madge Miller's success. She is one of
the most brilliant pupils of Devries,
Spicker and Luckstone, spending five
years in study with these master teach
ers before accepting the position of
contralto soloist in Temple Emmanuel,
New York. Here she sang for three
years.
- Miss Miller is now being presented
to the American public as one of the
most attractive and promising con-
traltos of the country.
Aside from her beautiful voice and
finished art, Miss Miller has attained
more than ordinary fame as a poetess.
Her poems are published by Ricordi &
Co., New York, five Of her lyrics hay
ing been set to music and sung with
signal success by both Bori and Caru-
so.

HER MAJESTY'S ship, "P|NAF0RE'

everybody is putting up his $50 or
$500 or $500 or $4,000 $4,000 for rise
in price.
What if something happened that
would cause a rush to sell? Nothing
could stop a disastrous break 1t
doesn't matter how badly the foreign
countries need wheat, the break
would have to come, even if the mar
ket shot up again, as. it probably
would, in a few hours. But during
that few hours all the little fellows
with 500 or $1,000 in the market
would lose every cent.
Only the chap with big money to
back up his margins until the reaction
came could stick.
The atmosphere is full of things
which might cause the rush to sell.
If the Turkish forts on the Oar
danelles, already badly battered,
should fall and release Russia's huge
wheat crop of last summer, wheat
would go away down for a time at
least.
A minor naval defeat for England in
home waters would cause a momen-
tary panic.
The blowing up of big English war
ship by German submarine would
send wheat down. The spectators
would bunch it out that no more
wheat could land in England and
they'd rush to sell.
Wheat is so unsteady, due to tens
of thousands of lambs specializing in
a small way on margins, that almost
any rumor will send it tumbling from
5 to 10 points.
Here in Chicago every decent broker
is refusing to take lamb offerings
They advise everybody to stay out Of
the specializing market.
If you can buy 1000 bushels or TO-
900 bushels outright and hold it, you
may stand chance to make a profit
But even that is risk

LITTLE INVESTORS TO
Be TRIMMED ON WHEAT

The following facts are given out as
a warning for the small investor on
the board of trade:
The cards are stacked against every.
body but the big operator in this war
market.
The Chicago board of trade is no
place for lambs just now.
Wheat is going up. There's no
doubt about the heavy demand for this
grain. 1t will probably go to 50 a
bushel perhaps higher. In these facts
and in the true stories that large for
tunes, made in few days by Letter
and few other millionaires, lies the
danger
A great lure to the lambs
But beware
Because:
The rapid rise in wheat, due to the
wild buying of futures has eliminated
the "short" interest, leaving none but
bulls in the market. That means that

"The Lass That Loved Sailor"
hints at one of the finest musical
events during the present season. Gill
bert G. Sullivan's most popular comic
opera, "Pinafore," is to be presented
in the Armory by the Congregational
Brotherhood next Monday evening.
Ran 700 Nights.
"'Pinafore,' an entirely original
nautical comic opera, written by w. S.
Gilbert and composed by Sir Arthur
Sullivan" says the American Encyclo-
pedia Of Music, was first presented
on May %, 1878, at the Opera Comique,
London, and ran for 700 nights with
an enthusiasm probably never before
equaled. During this time it was per-
formed by two companies simulta.
neously. In New York the opera was
on the stages of four theatres at once
for four months. In America no piece
is remembered to have had such an ex.
traordinary and long-continued recep-
ton.
In the First Act.
"The action begins on the quarter
deck of the 'Pinafore,' lying in the har-
Dor Of Portsmouth. Sailors are. busily
cleaning brass work, splicing ropes
and engaging in other like tasks. Lit
tie Buttercup, the fat, jolly bumboar
woman, who suggests at once, in char
acteristic fashion, that under a round
and rosy exterior may be lurking some
evil.
Dick Deadeye, the villain, comes on
board and is followed by a fine young
sailor, Ralph Rackstraw, signing be-
cause he loves a lass above his sta
ton. She is Josephine, daughter of
Capt. Corcoran, of the 'Pinafore.' Her
father has ambitions for her and is
deeply grieved that the young lady
does not take kindly to the attention
of Sir Joseph Porter.
Josephine arrives to confess to her
father that she loves a common sailor,
but assures him that her pride will
prevent him ever knowing who it is
Sir Joseph, accompanied by all his
aunts, cousins and sisters, comes to
press his suit, early explaining that
British sailor is any mans equal ex-
cepting his. Josephine declaring that
Sir Joseph's attentions nauseate her,
smiles on Ralph, until he is encourag
ed to make a declaration. She then
conceals her real feelings and tells
him haughtily to seek some village
maiden for mate He draws a pistol
and holds it to his head, when she pre-
vents his taking off by timely con-
fession that he possesses her heart. |
Then they plan to elope and are over
heard by Dick.
In the Second Act.
"The Captain is discovered very /
much out of sorts, singing to the
moon. Little Buttercup offers to
soothe his aching heart and becomes
sentimental He tells her
they can only be friends because of :
their different stations. She becomes |
nettled and warns him that her Gypsy !
blood enables her to see a change in !
store for him. Sir Joseph comes to
complain of Josephine's Indifference
and her father hastily suggests that
perhaps her modesty makes her feel
of him. This tickles the
suitor's vanity, as Josephine enters
very much worried over her approach
ing elopement.
