Grand Opera Company. May 22nd, 23rd,

RIGOLETTO.
May 25th, 26th, 9th, Donizetti's charm
ing
LUCIA.
Rigoletto which will be heard with the
full strength of the Aborn Grand Opera
Company, is one of the most popular of
the Verdi series of successful Grand
Operas, it is notable in it's melodic high
excellence, it's romatic and almost melo-
dramatic story, and surroundings. 1t was
first presented in 1851 and scored immedi-
ate triumph, the libretto was taken from
Victor Hugo's LIE Roi Amuse.
Rigoletto was composed in fourty days,
and outlived the sixteen Operas that pre-
coded it, and its wealth of melody and its
powerful dramatic effects, cause it to be
listened to still with much of the pleasure
and interest that attended its first pro-
duction.
The second half of the week will be
given to suberb rendition and production
of Donizetta's exquisite Lucia.
Taken from Scott's famous story of
The Bride of Lammermoor, this enchan.
ting grand Opera is now recognized as a
real gem with its exquisite melodies that
will endure, and the opera itself in its
romance of story, its lyric advantages
and famous characterization is among the
most celebrated Grand Opera favorites.

"THE WILD OLIVE"

1.-THE Wild Olive" the most elaborate
prod uction ever presented by The Oliver
Morosco Photoplay Co., is adapted from
the celebrated novel by Basil King which
took two continents by storm.
The brilliant scenes of this famous love
story of the New York aristocracy shift
in kaleidoscope succession from the lum-
Der regions in the forests of the Allegha-
MES to the cosmopolitan charm of Buenos
Ayres, the gay capitol of the Argentine.
Myrtle Stedman ranks among the five
most beautiful women in moving pictures.
She recently won first place in the SEN
sational popularity contest conducted by
the New York Telegraph. The role OF
Miriam in 1.-The Wild Olive, one of the
most sympathetic roles in modern fiction,
provides Myrtle Stedman the opportunity
of her career.
Forrest Stanley is the matinee idol of
the Oliver Morosco stage forces whose
golden hair and strongly chiselled profile
have had feminine hearts flutterng by
the thousands. Though young man he
leaped into prominence at such an early
age that the list of stars whom he has
supported includes some of the most
famous names on the American stage.

Trolley Five Years.

If you were asked chow long have the
trolley cars been running to Thurmont'
what would you answer? Not very long
several years, perhaps; but to be exact
you should say five years Monday, May
Is, 1916.
The matter Of building railroad from
Frederick to Thurmont was agitated fol
many years, but it was not until after
building the track from Thurmont to Cat
octin and the building of the electric
road in Frederick city that anything was
accomplished.
The trolley has been here for five years,
and has been of great value to Thurmont
and community. Let all rejoice.

FROM A FARM TO HIGH
LIFE & ELECTRIC CHAIR

From farm in Cannon township
Kent county, fourteen miles west of
Bedding to electrocution in the death
chair in New York will undoubtedly
cover the history of the beginning
and ending of Arthur Warren Waite,
who is now in the limelight of New
York high life frenzied finance and
tragic activity.
Arthur was born on the farm 20
years ago. Everybody for miles
around knew his father, Warren
Waite, who worked the farm and had
other irons in the fire at the same
time.
w. G. Little, father of DIR. +. w.
Little, was his nearest neighbor, in
fact, they lived nearly opposite each
other and the night Arthur was born,
remarkably cold one, they assisted
as nurse and physicians assistant.
When the lad was old enough he
went to the district school and there
are a whole lot Of his school boy
remember him well. He went by the
nickname of "Ben" for some reason
and is said to have been a remarkably
active young chap, somewhat haugh-
ty, greedy and grasping and inclin-
ed to having things stick to his hands
and hide in his pockets, habit which
grew on him.
Farming did not pan out well for
the Waites in the way they worked
at it and when Arthur, was Ia years
old they left the farm and went to
Grand Rapids.
High school, university and a trip
to Scotland and South Africa ostens-
IDLY after more knowledge followed
in succession, finally landing him in
New York in upper crust society as
the champion tennis player and fem
mime heart-breaker.
A few months ago he visited his
parents in Grand Rapids and after a
short courtship married Clara Louise
Peck, millionaire's daughter. He
evidently didn't care so much for her
as he did for the millions in sight
and the lure of high life. He set about
securing it and is charged with poison
ing Clara's mother and father
now the electric chair awaits his COM
ing to put a timely end to his career.
If he was insane as some people are in
sisting there is fiendish method in his
madness.
