Of de Koven's most famou work.
"Rohin Hood" The present elaborate

of q series of revivals that are cal

of art that is in the languishing state.
ORIGINALLY produced 25 years ago.
Robin Hood" has enjoyed a career
of remarkable prosperity. 1t has been
performed nor than seven thousand
times. and the melody of it's score and
the wit of its book will live to give de-
light to generations vet Unborn. The
present production will doubtless
serve as a sharp reminder of the
marked deterioration of the standard
of light opera. and it may serve as a
good purpose in eliminating the vacu-

usurped the name and field of this

WAR IS NOT AID TO
CUPID in THIS CITY
Grand Forks Men Liable to Military
Service Making No Run for lii
Celses as in Other Cities.

That Grand Forks men liable to
military service in the present war
are not attempting to hide behind the
skirts Of women is quite evident on
examination of the marriage license
records kept by County Judge l.. *.
Hassell.
There isn't any run on this office
for marriage licenses as a result Of
the war. and | do not expect that
there will be-" said Judge Hassell this
morning.
But four marriage licenses have
been issued since the first of the
month. which is only q normal show
ing at this time of the year.. This
fact is in striking contrast with other
larger cities. where many men. seek
ing to avoid service in the army or
navy in the present war, have APP
piled by the hundreds for permits to
wed.
In some cities where the practice
has been carried to extremes officials
have taken vigorous steps to put an
end to such un-American activity.
