who has been in New York this win
ter coaching Sophie Braslau in her
role of "Shanewis' in Cadman's new
opera. The opera was a great success
at the Metropolitan and a good deal
of the credit is given to the Indian
girlI
The princess came to Topeka with
Cadmans company a few years ago,
in the halcyon days of concert courses
in this town, when two or three i'm
preSario arrangements were operat-
ng simultaneously.
At the time of the Indian music con-
cert in Topeka, one member of the
audience said that she recognized the
princess" 1t seems that she was
brought up, for at least a part of her
life, in the midst of the untitled white
democracy of Junction City, where
the tribal customs and ceremonial
were necessarily confined to the one
household of the race that had it's
habitat in the vicinity
