CREATORE SALE
 REACHES S4000 Frank Hammond Gratified by CO-OperatiOn of the
 Public

''when I announce that the seat sale reached the $40o0 mark Thursday for the Creatore Grand Opera company's en- gagement in Birmingham you will read fly sec the splendid cooperation the management has had in the matter of bringing the opera to Birmingham. I am perfectly delighted and feel that the three performances will appear before capacity houses. It is very gratifying the out-of- town patronage that the opera will have. The news of the appearance of the Cre- atore Grand Opera company in Birming- ham has been received enthusiastically by every mail orders for tickets from all sections, and it looks as if our out-of- town patronage is going to be immense. I am delighted with this feature of the engagement, for l want as many people to hear the three beautiful operas as pos sibly can. Carmen has certainly been a drawing card and the change from II Trovatore' for the matinee tomorrow was certainly a happy idea This even- ing the house will be an overflow house for the initial performance. 'Rigoletto, and Aida tomorrow evening. which closes the engagement, bids fair to rival the other two opears in popularity. All
 the school children in town, it looks like, are going to attend the matinee of Car men and Creatore will undoubtedly be at his best directing the beautiful music of the Bizet opera"
