panies the picture. AS a solo on today's

SAN CARLO OPERA
COMPANY DUE IN
BOISE MONDAY

Tomorrow the songbirds come, and
the music and society devotees will re-
vel in three splendid productions by
the San Carlo Grand Opera company,
whose hundred members are enroute
from Denver today by special train.
And not only are local music enthuSi-
asts to enjoy the opera feast, for hun
dreds of people from the city's envir-
ons are coming, taking advantage both
of the opportunity to hear something
worth while and of the special holiday
rates on the railroads. Surely nothing
could be more propitious for gala
New Years celebration than the COM
bination of circumstances that gives
Bosses cultural element such a splen-
did chance to celebrate the passing of
the old, and the entering of the New
Year. Many opera parties are coming
from other cities, by train, trolley, au-
tomoble and otherwise, but they will
be here.
