M man of Atlanta t. s' Spt'ss but formerly D@% ssVS of Birmingham, will be much interested in the musical work which she has done to acquaint the public with the opera prior to opera week. The At lanta Constitution says
 E The series of opera lectures just com pleted by Mrs. Earl Sherwood Jackson and Mrs. Charles E. Bowman surpassed any previous effort of theirs
 Mrs. Jackson now is the author of about S5 operalogues, all written in play form. A few years ago she was asked to present some of these opera readings in New York This she did in Aeolian hall and she now has an imitator who attempts in New York during the opera season just what she has been doing in Atlanta for seven years
 Last year Mrs. Charles E. Bowman pianist, was engaged to assist Mrs. Jack son in her opera lectures. Theirs was delightful and satisfactory combination, as the elements of music and drama seemed perfectly to coordinate and make their presentation a unit of atmosphere and of harmony.
 There were four new operas to be reck- oned with this season and Mrs. Jacksons arrangements of Francesca da Riminia, 'siegfried' and Boris Godunoff' deserve especial mention"
