FLORA BELLA
HERE NEXT TUESDAY

ton Of Flora Bella" the most fasci-
mating musical comedy of the decade,
coming from it's long run at the New

The book of Flora Bella" is by
Felix Doerman, revised and adapted
by Cosmos Hamilton and Dorothy DON
nelly. The lyrics are by Percy Wax
man and the score by Charles Cuvillier
and Milton Schwarzwald. In all there
are twenty musical numbers, running
through staccato, syncopation and the
dreamy waltz. At times the compos-
ers give numbers that closely ap-
proach the realm of classic opera. The
songs are narrative in lyrics and blend
well with the story of the play.
The story of Flora Bella" is that
of a singer in the famous Sign of the
Golden Calf" and the idol of Petro-
grad, who, for a year, without her
former identity being known in her
new surrounding, has been married to
Prince Demidoff of the Russian nobil-
ity. Her life has been irreproachable,
but the two have made the mistake of
not understanding the real desires of
each other She is the housewife of
demure perfection and he the model
husband, but both begin to chafe at
the restraint of himple country life.
She, meeting the former manager of
the Sign of the Golden Calf" in which
she appeared, yearns to return to the
life and gaiety of the Russian capital.
He wants to see and live in the same
frivolous life, and each secretly plans
trip to Petrograd The second act
finds them in the "Sign of the Golden
Calf at its most exciting hour. They
meet. but the prince believes Flora
Bella to be the twin sister of his wife.
He tries to remain the model husband,
but the rejuvenated girl draws all the
love from his heart, and he forgets his
ties and makes love to the supposed
dancer. Among the popular song hits
are You're the Girl, "Give Me All OF
You,o Flora Bella" and Creep, Creep
the World Is Sleeping"
The production will be seen here
with practically the original company
which includes Eleanor Henry, Lily
! Leonhard, Guy ]. Sampsell, Irving

Idnced the modern world of won
ders. Difficulties will be cleared
away, faith will be explained and
grasped more strongly, and the
average Catholic will take a
brighter and broader outlook
upon life and upon his own relig-
ion. A writer in the Magnificat
gives an interesting idea Of what
may be cleaned from Catholic
reading:
Some authorities contend that
any effort to teach a lesson or con-
vey a moral by means of litera-
ture mars it's perfection as a work
of art; if apparent it certainly
endangers its popularity. Yet
that is the allotted task of the
Catholic writer. Through a me-
dunn of Entertainment, he must
teach, inspire, and strengthen.
There is every need of this.
Many Catholics habitually at
tend an early Mass and hear only
the briefests of sermons. They are
not, as a rule, readers of books
least Of all, Of books Of devotion
yet, now as ever spiritual read
ing is the oil for the lamp of
prayer. If the heart is to be
touched by visions of beauty and
the soul stirred by deeds Of sac
rifice and heroism, if idealism and
devotion and piety arelnot to die
out in the rush of modern life and
the blighting influence Of modern
materialism, people must have
good reading of some sort.
And what Of those who are far
from a church and consequently
hear Mass but seldom? Catholic
reading means most to them. 1t
must take the place of the com
partnership Of other Catholics, of
the inspiration Of good example,
of sermons and beautiful cere-
monies, of even the Sacraments
themselves.

PRINTING In ICELAND
FIRST PRINTING PRESS WAS ES.
TABLlSHED BY CATHOLIC RIsH.
oP; SAcRED AND SECULAR
WORKS WERE PRODUCED,

The Linotype Bulletin for August,
1917, contains an interesting sidelight
on the art of printing in the New
World. The article is from the pen
of an Icelandic scholar, Mr.. Aren't
Claessen. He writes:
The first printing Office in Iceland
was established in 1880. It's founder
was the last Roman Catholic Bishop
there, Jon Arason. His typographer
was a Swedish priest, whose name
was Jon Matthiasson. The printing
office was erected at Holar, in Hjalta-
dial, in the north of Iceland. Here it
remained until 1884, when the Rev.
Jon Matthiasson became priest at
Briedabolsstad, in Vesturhop, in Hun
avatns County, where he took the
printing press with him. There the
printing Office was also superintended
by the bishop.
The only book that is known for
certain to have been printed at Holar
is the "Breviarium Nidrosiense,'' in
1884. At Breidabolsstad the service
book for Roman Catholic priests was
printed for the first time, and for a
long period most of the books printed
there were of a sacred character.
Later some books on jurisprudence,
as well as the old sagas, were also
printed there.
For a period of 322 years, from 1880
to 1852, there was only. one printing
office in the country. During that
time there were two dioceses in Ice
land, the printing office being, for the
most of the period the property of one
of them
The printing Office enjoyed it's most
fiourishing period during the lifetime
of Bishop Gudbrandur Thorlaksson of
Holar. He was born in 1912 and died
in 1927, having been bishop for fifty
six years. He was the most prominent
and ablest promoter of the art of
printing in Iceland, purchasing,
among other things, new printing
press. He translated the Bible into
Icelandic, and had it printed in
most elaborate edition, with pictures,
in 1884. He himself engraved the IL
Illustrations and ornaments for that edi-
tion, carving in wood being one Of his
hobbies. He caused eighty-five differ
ent works to be printed, many of
which were voluminous books on the
illogical, pathological, arithmetical and
geological subjects, as well as poetry.
In 1914 the printing Office was trans
ferred to Reykjavik, becoming then
the property of the government, under
the name of Landsprentsmidja, i. e.,
government printing Office. Up to
the time 1t was moved to Reykjayik
| it had been Professionally established
at different points in the country,
among other places for some years
at the farm Hlidarendi, in F1otsklid,
so well known from the old Icelandic
saga, the "Njala," this being the farm
where lived the renowned saga hero
Gunnar Of Hlidarenda.
