PATHETIC STORY
OF YOUNGLATIN
QUARTERLOVERS
"La Boheme," Tonight's Opera,
Full of Gay Scenes, But
Ends in Tragedy

Since 1896, when it was first pro-
duced at Turin, Puccini's La b.
heme" has been among the most pop
ular Of grand operas, and has served
to furnish congenial roles for such
great artists as Geraldine Farrar,
Madame Sembrich and Alma Chuck.
as well as Caruso, Martin, Scott and
Campanari. ...-.. ... ...-. :.-...
AS is indicated by the title, the
opera is built around Bohemian life
In the Latin quarter in Paris, and the
plot is loosely based on Murger's la
Vie Boheme." ..... ~
The opening scene shows four hap
py-go-lucky student friends, Rudolph,
a poet; Marcel. a painter; Colline, q
philosopher, and .Schaunard; must
clan. They are penniless. but gay.
When Rudolph is alone on the stage a
knock on the door is heard and he
admits Mimi, a young girl who lives
in the attic above. Her candle has
gone out and she comes for light.
Rudolph, in the famous Narrative"
tells Of his life, and Mimi, in mi
Chiamano Mimi" recounts that she
makes a meager living by making ar.
tificial flowers. At the end, love
dawning. they start ror an evening OF
jollity at the Cafe Nomus.
Act two is gay, representing a ter
race at the cafe. Here Marcel meets
an old sweetheart, Musetta. who de-
serts the aged admirer whom she is
with, leaving him to settle the score.
In this act Is seen the first indication
Of Rudolph's jealousy OF Minis pos.
sible past lovers.
Act represents the city gate. 1t
is a cherries, gray dawn, with snow
sitting down-a mood well expressed
in the Puccini score. Mimi appears
and finds Marcel. now reduced to
house painting. She tells him she
can no longer endure Rudolph's jeaL
ousies and suspicious. Later, con.
cealed, she hears Rudolph express
these suspicious to Marcel, and after
fit Of coughing reveals her, sings
q sad little farewell, but partial re-
Cancellation is effected. Musetta and
Marcel then have a furious quarrel.
In the last act, which shows again
the first act scene. Marcel and Ru.
dolph are seen pretending to work,
but each is In reality pining for his
sweetheart Presently the two other
students come with provisions and
they have q feast, which Musetta In.
terrupts with word that Mimi. sick
and abandoned, has come back to die.
A reconciliation Is effected, but Mimi,
weakened by her privations, dies Just
az they are planning q happy future
together, and the curtain falls on the
wild grief Of Rudolph and the group
Of weeping friends.

Van Faed sat darning the second best
tablecloth which had that day come
home from the laundry in a decidedly
bad condition. Considering the fact
that the entire table linen store Of the
household had been reduced to one
dozen napkins and three tablecloths
the small matter OF a fresh rent in
the second best would have been
enough to bring sadness to Vans face,
even IL there had not been graver
things to trouble her. One of these
things was a growing headache that
she dare not own even to herself. 1t

down as she had smiled down a great

was. however, gradually being borne
upon her that she was doomed to q
long future of this futile smiling with
the heartache going on Just the same.
In contrast to her weary pal1or and
wistful eyes Rosamond came in like a
crocus blown on the spring breeze.
Rosamond was four years younger than
Van and very pretty. Her black Earb,

To some who have sought the man
Shakespeare in the chronicles Of his
time It seems inconceivable that q
country lad Of his parenthood and rear
ing could have acquired all of this
knowledge, which, unquestionably, was
at the finger ends Of Lord Bacon.
It is argued that Shakespears's name
never appeared upon any play until
after he had retired to Stratford, and
this has been seized upon as evidence
Of his having been sent there by Bacon
that he might remain in obscurity while
the great plays were being turned out
under his signature-Stratford then be-

All kinds of conflicting statements
have been written concerning his pri-
vate life. Some claim that he was the
uneducated son Of illiterate parents:
that even his own daughters could
neither read nor write. Others would
have It that he was forced to leave
home for deer stealing In the park Of
Sir Thomas Lucy.
Another story is that when first COM

him for holding horses of rich patrons
Of the theater. According to still 9TH
ers, after his return to Stratford he be-
came a petty tradesman. selling corn
and malt and lending small sums OF
money.

Bacon's qualifications for writing

Italian and German: he was the COM

phrases selected from the greatest au-
thors and works of all times. Because
literary geniuses were frowned upon in

Until sixty years ago. however, no one
seems to have doubted that the great
masterpieces published under his name
were written by this man Of mystery.
Then there appeared from tho pen Of

argument attempting to set forth
proofs that Shakespeare could not have
written these great works.
Since then other writer's have wageo
