DOROTHY JARDON
SINGS IN FEDORA
She Makes Her First Appear
ance in Opera With Chi
cago Company.
SHOWS DRAMATIC FORCE
Stracciari Gives Excellent Per-
Torrance as De Siriex-
DOlci Is LOris.

Giordano's opera, Fedora" was given
by the Chicago Opera Company at the
Lexington Theatre last evening. The
work was made known to New York on
Dec. 8. 1906, by Heinrich Conried at the
Metropolitan Opera House. That even
Ing was made notable by the debut OF
Lima Cavalieri, who as the Princess
Fedora was vision OF beauty, Her
principal associates were Bella Alien as
the Countess Olga. Mr.. Caruso as Loris
and Mr.. Scott as De Slriex. Marie
hatfield, OF the present company was
also In the cast, singing Dimitri. the
groom.
The opera Is not in need OF recon-
sideration. 1t is indeed better than some
OF the works heard more recently, nota-
bly, Catalanis LoreIei but II Is mediocre
nevertheless. There is good deal OF
fluent melody in II, but usually this lacks
pith and point The play, IL may be
admitted. does not we'll suit musical ex-
preston. In the one lyric outburst of
Lorts the composer found a modest IN
spiration. The dialogue Is carried on be-
tween Lorts and Fedora to the accom-
paniment of a piano solo played to enter
tain guests.
Last evenings performance served TO
introduce to the local public Dorothy
first appearance IN opera, though not on
the stage. She has an excellent.presence
and a good natural voice. Her singing
last evening was marred by temolo
but undoubtedly she was nervous and
her true worth could hardly be ade-
quately displayed. She showed some
| dramatic force at times and with ex-
perience may develop into pleasing
opera singer.
Alessandro Dolci as Loris, Mr.. Strac-
ciar! as De Sirier, and excellent he wa:
| too, and Marguerite Namara as the
Countess were the other important mem
| tiers OF the cast. Mr.. Polacco conducted
Eleanor Spencer. pianist, gave a re-
| cital Yesterday afternoon in Aeoliar
Hall. Her programme omitted the now
almost inevitable sonata. the first grouI
comprising a Bach fugue and Beetho'
vens c minor variations. Schumann
Scriabin. Rhene- Baton. Chopin and Lisz
were the other contributors to thu
| scheme.
| Miss Spencer Is no stranger here. Hei
art is we'll defined and easily comprehen
sible. She plays with much beauty anc
some variety OF tone, with well graded
dynamics. with good rhythm and with
clarity. II she has no great message
to deliver. she has at any rate musica
taste and intelligence.

POLITICAL POT
is SIMMERING
Frank Helm Out For Mayor, ],
w. CarOw Candidate For
County Judge

Ladysmith's political pot is already
point to very interesting election this
spring.
For mayor of the city, Frank Helm
has been induced by his friends to en-
ter the lists and the News-Budget be-
lieves will be elected without difficulty.
No other candidate has come out for
the office and it is not improbable that
Frank will have no opposition. \. c.
Thompson, present incumbent, has
made an able mayor for the past six
years but will not be a candidate for
reelection. Frank Helm is a Tive
wire if there ever was one. He has
had the ability to build up first-class
business here and we are confident he
will find time to discharge the duties
of the mayors office satisfactorily and
economically for the city.
For county judge, j. w. Carow has
announced his candidacy, being the
only candidate in the field so far. Mr..
Carow possesses every qualification to
make an efficient county judge. He
is Il capable attorney and his eleven
years residence has given him a wide
acquaintance throughout the county.
Only one candidate has appeared for
the office Of municipal judge and he
has only consented rather reluctantly.
Atty. Glenn II. Williams is the man we
mean and as far as we know he is the
only candidate. Mr.. Williams feels
that as far as financial considerations
are concerned it will cost him more to
hold the office than the salary amounts
to and he doesn't care to make a hard
fight for it, However, some one is
needed as municipal judge and Rusk
county could surely find no better man
for the office.
1t remains for the office of superin-
tendent of schools to furnish the hard
est fight. apparently, of the election.
O. f. Rice, the present incumbent, has
strong opposition to reelection for an
iother term from Il. I'll. Burns. Both
are capable men and are widely known
throughout the county.
