in on us?
The other day l buried a soldier.
His breast was covered with medals
he had won for distinguished serv-
ice. The fig of his country draped
the coffin as we moved through the
streets OF the city to the cemetery.
But less than a score OF people
gathered about the grave as We laid
a hero's body to its final rest.
We must not forget so soon. We
must never forget. 1t will be a
gloomy day for our country when
we cease to honor the memory OF
those who have jeopardized for

The war drums are silent and
the battle Gags are furled, but the

rious because the field on which 1t
fought has been won.

Notable Revival.

Announcement OF the, appearance in New
York Of DeWolf Hopper and Francis Wilson in
the comic opera "Erminie" will conjure pieas-
art memories id the minds Of an older genera
ton Of theatregoers. Francis Wilson revived
"Erminie," one of the most popular Of the old
comic operas. in 1908. and in that year was seen
at the Illinois theatre at the head Of brilliant
company and production. The comic opera was
sidetracked by the vogue Of musical comedy, a
form OF entertainment that appears to be rap
idly nearing the end OF its string.
The average musical comedy is not unlike
tic circus-you see one and you have seen
them all. The only difference is to be found in
the scenic establishment, the number and
beauty Of the chorus and few tinkling tunes.
II q girl is pretty Of face and form and can
walk across the stage without tripping she can
get place in the chorus Of the musical comedy.
In seeking a position in comic opera her face
or form have little to do in gaining her favor
able attention. Her voice is what counts.
Folks patronized the comic opera for the plot
and the music. The musical comedy has its
chief drawing power in what it has to offer
| for the feasting Of the eye 1t is sincerely ia
be hoped that the venture OF Messrs Hopper
and Wilson will be acclaimed Is it deserves
to be and will result in revival Of the old
time comic operas
