The first annual tri-state bowling
tournament was brought to close at
the Island City alleys last night and
the local pin experts showed their su-
periority by taking first place in every
event. Burns Harvey led in the sin
giles with 65I count, John WITCH and
John Bergman in the doubles with
1851, and the Edelweiss team of the
Tri-City league was first in the five
men event with 1888 Des Moines fin
ished second in this event and the
Cubs of Rock Island third with Mo-
line fourth. W. A. Strayer of Rock Is
land lost his match to Dad" Hopkins
of Grinnell last night, consequently
the veteran Iowa bowler is given sec
ond place in the singles.
Stephens and Renaud of Rock Is
land shot into second place in the
doubles Saturday night with a 1850
count, coming within one pin of tying
Wich and Bergman for the lead. Gage
and Lyall of Clinton, Iowa, rolled into
fourth place in the doubles yesterday
and Darling and Bergh of Clinton into
fifth place.
The Martins of Davenport rolled in
10 seventh place in the team event Sat

just outside its borders. The Austro-

OPERA AND MUSIC
TEXTS OF NEW BOOKS
Two Handbooks of the Lyric
Stage-Singers' Favorite
Songs Collected

In 1.-THE Opera Book G<leintech &
, sully Company New York; Edith Ordway
has told the story of the operas in the
standard repertory in graphic narrative
form, though in the historical present
tense, which seems stilted However, as
the book makes no pretense at literary
distinction but is designed solely for
reference purposes, perhaps the questions
OF style and form do not matter. Operas
no longer staged in the American opera
house are discarded no matter how inn
portant historically or how classic the
name of the composer. Thus a lot of the
useless operate lumber which cumbers
other manuals of this sort is thrown
aside. The work is especially valuable
for the inclusion of novelties of late
years and, in fact, anticipates a bit by
including the stories of several new or
revived works of the present season. OF
course new editions will discard some of
the present entries, such as the several
prize operas which have had their little
premieres and are done. But 1t Is worth
while TO have all of them on record. Brief
introductions cover essential facts of time
and place of premieres and other desir-
able data The author has made every
attempt to verify statistical data, but
despite this care few errors have crept
in for correction in later editions. One
serious matter is the use of the diphthong
instead of the umlaut or alternative

much more condensed. The plots of the
operas are reduced to the smallest propor-
tions consistent with an intelligent treat
ment of the action. No incidental stats
tics are provided for the book is designed
as manual, convenient to slip into the
opera bag or the pocket. 1t serves its
purpose admirably. The original edition
was great boon to opera-goers as a
preparation for the theatre; this one with
it's numerous additions of novel or revived
operas, is doubly valuable.
To the long series OF well-edited and
well-chosen books of songs, issued by
oliver Ditson Company, there have been
added recently several volumes under
the aegis of great singers. For volumes
now at hand are divided equally between
Madame Julia Culp and Madame Emma
Calve. Madame Calves volumes are de-
voted to her favorite French songs. and
even those to whom the great Carmen"
is only a name will understand how
varied, how generous and how much in
good taste her selection has been.
There are, to be sure, certain selections
from operas-from "Sapho CGOunou
from lie "Roi d'Ys," from "Ianon" and
from Carmen" The number of familiar
songs. made so by Madame Calve, among
others. is great, but in each volume there

combination of force and subtlety as he.
Miss Grace George plays the part of
the Countess, rather colorless part in
a sense, since 1t draws almost all its in
terest from the woman's pure devotion
to her illegal love, and is in one key.
Miss George, however, plays it with great
charm and sweet dignity. Conway Tearle
is the Trevena, and Ernest Lawford, as
usual, drops into his part-this time that
of tashy, amusing general manager for
Janion-as If it were just the part he
had been wanting to play for years. A
splendid actor Lawford, perhaps the most
valuable man for a high class stock COM
pany now on our stage. The settings are,
as usual, simple beautiful and in the
best of taste. There is brain behind Miss

essence of the success of such man is

that every reader of such papers as Sir
Felix Janion's, with their moral editorials

their cheap expedients to gain circulation,
their hectic pursuit of the momentary
sensation, their enormous and baleful
power by virtue of their tremendous circu-

these papers could see 'The Earth" But
unfortunately, the Playhouse is probably
patronized by readers of the Times and

The leading part in the play is that of
Sir Felix, the great newspaper octopus,
and this part is played by Louis Calvert
