GAUDENzI TRIUMPHS
in SINGING "BOHEME'
Maggie Teyte. Too. Delights Audience
with Her Rendition.

Pucinni's La Boheme" thrilled an au-
6lence of music lovers last night with the
same intensity as VerdPs aida" on the
first night OF Washington's short sea-
son of grand opera, furnished by the Bos-
ton National Grand Opera Company.
From the moment the curtain went up
showing a grim attic In the Latin Quarter
of Paris, and Giuseppe Gaudenzi, as the
poet Rodolfo, wooing the simple-minded
Mimi, with her wondrous voice and ar
tistic hands, the sympathy of the audi
ence was with them. Gaudenzi, with the
warmth and beauty of sunny Italy In his
tenor voice, and Maggie Teyte's soft, rich
soprano notes blended all through the
opera, even to the deathbed scene, in the
same squallid room where she offered
with her last breath comfort to the COM
panions about her. Miss Teyte fire.
quently has been heard in Washington
drawing-rooms and theaters, but never
to better advantage than last night.
In contrast to the pathetic voice of
Mimi were the sprightly, light and airy
tones of Mabel Riegelman, as the worldly
and extravagant Musetta, who, after
trampling on the hearts along her path
way, finally slipped the jewels from her
ears to bring a last comfort to Mimi.
Thomas Chalmers was the delightful
painter, Marcello, and his barytone, of
wonderful depth and beauty, was as
sisted by excellent acting and a pair of
unusually eloquent legs. In the Latin
Quarter; in the Cafe Momus, where the
four Musketeers, the poet. the painter,
the philosopher and the musician reveled
through a Christmas Eve dinner with
little Mimi; In the touching scene at the
Barriere d. Enfer, where he tried to rec
oncile the poet and Mimi, and back
again in the Latin Quarter where the
oh dua1 tho feast and the sham
dance at the top of its merriment was
interrupted by the. tragic entrance of
Musetta, come to tell OF the illness Of
Mimi-Marcello's fne voice held the
sympathy OF the audience.
Virgilio Lazzari, as Colline, the
philosopher. also won the audience with
his splendid deep, rich, almost velvety
bass, and Pulitfs barytone was recognized
as one of unusual melody.
In the audience was included Miss
Margaret Wilson and guests from the
White House.

plays in the school because of the limited
facilities of the stage in the assembly
hall, and the ventilation is imperfect.

We give our undivided attention to
the matter in hand; that is the only
safe way and we are nothing if not

We dispense only drugs of known

materials and trusting to luck for re-
suits.
This is an important matter and one

A FAMILY
MEDICINE
In Her Mothers Home, Says This
Georgia Lady, Regarding Black
Draught. Relief From Head
ache, Malaria, Chills, Etc.

Ringgold, Ca Mrs. Chas. CASTOR,
OF this place, writes: II ana a user
Of Thedford's Black-Draught; in fact,
1t was one Of our family medicines
Also in my mothers home, when
was a child. When any of US child
ren complained Of headache, usually
caused by constipation, she gave US
dose Of Black-Draueht, which would
rectify the trouble. Often in the
Spring, we would have malaria and
chills, or troubles of this kind, we
would take Black-Draught pretty reg
ular until the liver acted well, and
we would soon be up and around
again. We would not be without 1t,
for it certainly has saved us lots of
doctor bills. Just dose Of Black
Draught when not SO we'll saves a
lot Of days in bed"
Thedford's Black-Draught has been
in use for many years in the treat
ment &c stomach, liver and bowel
troubles, and the popularity which 1t
now enjoys Is proof Of its merit.
If your liver Is not doing its duty,
you will suffer from such disagree
able symptoms as headache, bilious
ness, constipation, indigestion, ETC.,
and unless something Is done, serious
trouble may result.
Thedford's Black-Draught has been
found valuable remedy for these
troubles. 1t is purely vegetable, and
acts In a prompt and natural way,
regulating the liver to its proper
functions and cleansing the bowels Of
impurities. Try it. Insist on Thed.
