stacle rather t1an an AID IN her opef-
attic career. For so many years was
the public accustomed to rotund and
middleaged prime donnas that when
Miss Teyte burst forth at the Paris
Opera Comique even the plaudits Of
the intelligent French public did not
suffice to convince the world that she
was an artist of the first rank. In fact,
the world said to itself: "She cannot
be great artist because she isn't
fat" But Miss Teyte, whose voice
under the tutelage of the great Jean
de Reszke, has acquired a brilliancy
and perfection which are Joy to
music lovers, bided her time and was
convinced that soon or late she would
come into her own. She knew she
was perfectly suited to such favorite
heronies as Mimi in la Boheme,"
,Melisande in "Pelfeas and Melis
ande," and now, at the zenith Of her
youth and loneliness she is accla ed
one of the most satisfactory sopr~ los
in the world.

Wilson.
Carney" got out promptly, but on
the way from the court room he sold
several more shamrocks.
Later Judge Fitzgerald asserted
that a man with his name didn't need
a shamrock to indicate his observ-
ance of St. Patrick's day. Sergeant
Wilson declared that his red hair was
sufficient Irish for the occasion.

Fairbanks as "wo...ing in his new
play" Fairbanks never works. He
just frolics his rollicking way
through scene after scene, fighting his
way through ticklish situations and
followed by his faithful darkey setvi-
tor and never for an instant losing the
delicious sang froid through the most
strenuous passages. All Of the fore
going is simply meant to outline the
fact that Douglas Fairbanks is the
same on or off the stage. And he is
quite as apt to be doing of the stage
for pure fun very much what he does
on the stage because it is part of the
play.

the case of Miss Teyte. Her acting
her singing and her appearance are
beyond criticism. But Miss Teyte is
not willing for her art to remain sta
tionary. She is one of the most con-
scientious workers in any opera
house, and she practices at rate that
would stagger the average amateur
Miss Teyte has said with a decisive
nod of her pretty head;
"The danger that besets us artists
is not getting on in our profession,
but getting off in our profession. We
are apt to diminish if we take lauda-
tory press opinions seriously, and if
we do not work, work, work. OF
course, l would like to go to lunch

find l am not apt to sing or act as
well as if | had been living the life
Of what / am, hard working wo-
man."
Miss Teyte did not sing Mimi,
her greatest role, in Ia Boheme"
during the visit of the Boston,
National Grand Opera company in
Omaha last year, because she had es-
sayed, the night before, the exceed
ingly difficult soprano role in "The
Love of Three Kings"
Miss Teyte's personality and voice
make her an ideal Mimi. The alb
surdity of the usual fat prima donna
is particularly obvious in this char
acter. There was quite storm Of
protest last year over the fact that
Miss Teyte must be used on the pre-
vious night, thus preventing her ap-
pearance as Mimi.

New York Symphony Orchestra and
Efrem ZimbaEst Come Next Week

The complete orchestra of the SYM
phony Society OF New York, Walter
Damrosch, conductor, will again un-
dertake ten weeks tour to the Pa
cifc coast and back, playing Omaha
at the Auditorium, Friday night.
March 80. So great has been the de-
mand for the orchestra that tour
almost identical with that of last
spring, city for city, has been booked
again. This means that cities In the
southwestern part of the country,
which have been anxious to secure the
New York Symphony Orchestra, will
have to wait another year to hear this
famous body Of musicians.
Zimbalist, the eminent Russian
violinist, will accompany the orches-
ira on this tour.
This will be the thirty-second year
for Walter Damrosch as conductor
for the great symphonic orchestra
founded BY his famous father, DR..
Leopold Damrosch, and although he
is now but 81 years of age, he has
been for years the dean Of American
conductors. The organization, which
he has made illustrious, has but few
changes of importance to announce
this season. Among these are the ad-
vent of lila Schkolnik as second con-
cert master, Achilli VILLAIN as first
clarinet and Engelbert Roentgen, for
merly soloist in the Imperial Opera
of Vienna, as 'cellist.
As fitting reward for his years of
self-supporting cndeavor, Mr.. DAM
rosch is now able to do all of which
he so long dreamed because OF the
unique gift of Harry Hardness Flag
Ter, who two years ago bestowed on
the Symphony society permanent

IMPORTANT
Court Decision
Liquor Question

There seems to be some I'M
easiness felt by consumers re-
garding the effect Of the pro-
hibition law so far as it would
make unlawful the having on
hand after May LIST of more
than a certain limited quantity
of liquors, such as may be pro-
vided for in a legislative act
yet to be passed.
In this connection it is of in
terest to consider a decision
rendered by the Supreme Court
Of the state Of Washington on
July 9Th, 1915, in a case where
a banker Of Seattle, Washing
ton, had in his possession at his
home for his personal use a
greater quantity of liquors at
the time the Washington pro-
hibition law became effective
than the law provided for.
The sheriff seized these
liquors under authority or ap-
proval of the Superior Court Of
King County.
The accused, John c. Eden,
appealed to the Supreme Court
Of the State in an action known
as Estate VS.. Eden, No. 1929"
The Supreme Court reversed
the lower Court and ruled that
since the liquors were lawfully
acquired before the prohibition
law went into effect, and were
not held by the accused, as
shown by the evidence, for any
unlawful purpose, but only for
his own use, he was not guilty
Of any offense. The Sheriff
was ordered to return them to
the Northumberland.
