A-Iist of new Columbia records has

He is heard in the song OF the Torea-
dor from Carmen" Another opera
from which records have been taken

ing "What Do You Want to Make

weeks showing of Edward Shsldon's
story, Romance" with Florence Rit-
tenhouse in the role OF Nine. Caval
lini and William p. Carleton in the
dual impersonation of young Thomas
Armstrong and the elderly Bishop
Armstrong.
Miss Rittenhouse carried the part
OF the italian prima donna with her
usual accuracy and effectiveness. Mr..
Cartoons ability is given a strong
test in this weeks production, and
the numerous curtain calls suggested
the audiences approval.
The play opens with a prologue In
which the aged bishop Is approached
by his grandson, who unfolds the
story of his love for an actress whom
he intends to marry. By way OF ex
pressing his disapproval, the bishop
relates the story of his own love for
an actress fifty years ago.

hit of the evening.
The voices of Forrest HUFF, Miss

were made on them. The chorus not
