Many Pueblo people are leaving
for Denver Tuesday to take In the
season of Grand Opera which starts
Tuesday night at the City Auditorium

from the capital report an immense
advance sale of seats for the weeks
entertainment by the famous Chicago
Grand Opera company, and while
there are still plenty of good seats
to be had. it behooves people who

Ponderous prima donnas are con-
spicuous for their absence in the Chi
cago Opera Association. Three of the
worlds greatest prirna donnas are
with the company In Denver this

"Otello". Mary Garden. Rose Raisa
and Frieda Hempel each weigh about
125 pounds This is quite in con-
trast with the premier singers Of
days agone when it was supposed a
soprano could not sing well unless
she could tip the scales to sub
stantial figure.
Swimming is one OF thes forms of
exercise by which this famous trio
keep themselves physically fit: tho,
of course, this fun is INDUCED by
them only in summer. never. during
All operate season. Recently a
jovtal challenge by one of the prima
donnas was sent to the other two.
Each of them claims long distance
superiority. Rose Raisa won the
medal as the best woman swimmer in
Italy. Mary Garden swims every day
in summer from her villa at Monte
Carlo to a rock half mile out in
the Mediterranean and back again,
After doing that daily for two
months, she declares, Il have waist
like a wasp. Frieda Hempel swims
in the lake which fronts her summer
villa in Switzerland. She also climbs
mountains daily.
'Travtata" is the most tuneful and
brilliant of the operas to be sung
during this engagement. "Lohen-
grin" is headed for sell out be-
cause 1t is the first Wagnerian opera
to be given since the war. and is sune
