GOOD SEASON Of GRAND
OPERA SHOWS FIGURES

ATLANTA, Ga, May 1.-The 1916
season of grand opera in Atlanta which
came to a close Saturday night, was
surpassed from a financial standpoint
only by the season of 1914. This
means that the total receipts for the
week were between $91 900 and $685.
OCO, as the receipts were $4,000 in
1914 and $91 900 in 1918.
In order to secure a weeks engage
ment this year by the Metropolitan
opera Company, Atlanta had to sub
scribe a guarantee of $4,000, which
was $4,000 more than the guarantee
subscribed in 1915, and $4,000 more
than the guarantee subscribed in 1914
1913, 1912, 1911 and 1910.
Before leaving Atlanta yesterday,
L. c. Coppicus, general secretary of
the Metropolitan, made the statement
that the company will continue to play
weeks engagement in Atlanta as long
as the city wants it.
Grand opera this year was attended
by large number CT visitors from
Georgia and neighboring states than
ever before. People came all the way
from Dallas and New Orleans on the
west, and as far east as Philadelphia.

Busby's Minstrels Made .
 Great Hit.

Busby's minstrels certainly made a hit with the Klamath Falls people last night. The big tent was packed and "the best ever" was the general verdict of all.
 Every member of Busby's minstrels proved to be an artist. Their songs were the original old negro songs of the south as we'll as the very latest and best on the vaudeville stage of today.
 Fife Moore's singing was typi- cal of the old time southern col ored girl, while the performance was the best minstrel work ever seen in this city. The cake walking and dancing was excel lent. In fact the entire show was not only good, but was clean from start to finish, there not beng anything that smacked of rowdyism or what could be call ed out of place by the most criti- cal audience.

 Bro. Yancey has done that which many said he could not do in giving us new church, mo- dern in every respect, and which surpasses any other in Woodruff County.
