WEST AS IT Is-sHOwN HERE
William Duncan Puts End to Fiction
of "Wild and WOOlly" Days


of 'Wild and WOOlly" Days
Many surprises are awaiting those
who see "Where Men Are Men" which
will be shown at the Opera House on
Friday and Saturday. The story deals
with the Death Valley gold mining re-
gion of California and William Dun
can, star-director, has prepared to
show the public picture of the locale
as it is. He has put ban on the
horse drawn stage-coach, the bad man
firing guns as he rides into camp and
a thousand and one other antiquated
stunts found in films of the Buffalo
Bill type. Instead Mr.. Duncan pre-
sents clean story of the West, show
ing real mining camps and settle
ments. The action is swift moving
against picturesque backgrounds and
the climax comes in a real fist fight
between Duncan and Sailor Tom Will
son, formerly sparring partner of BOZ
Fitzsimmons. This is a real combat
and different from the ordinary screer
! conflict. Both men fight to win and il
is only Duncan's superiority that saves
the day for the hero.

Children Mt the Opera.

Children mt the Opera
Doubtless observant operagoers have
taken note of the persistence with
which some fond parents drag their
helpless offspring to performances of
the lyric drama. Ii is not uncommon
TO behold unfortunate children sitting
through duh and pcnderous tragedies
badly expressed in poor music. But
much too often there is matter TO excite
unhealthy curiosity in children. Their
alert minds consider many matters
which adults stupidity forget that they
considered when they were children.
Hence il is not beyond possibility that
when the censors finish their job of
editing the movies so that they shall
be fit only for children they will turn
their attention to the opera.
For it is inconceivable that any
would take the more sensible course
Of preventing the children from going
TO the theatre, the movies or the
opera The late Edward Augustus
Dithmar, a dramatic critic in whom
there was no mock sentiment, said:
THE theatre is not kindergarten"
But if il becomes necessary to make
IL one then the repertory of the Metro
politan will have to be deprived of the
following operas:
Faust" Carmen" "Pagliacci." "Ca-
valleria Rusticana." "Tosca," LA Bo-
heme," Nine. Butterfly" "Zaza,"
Louise, "Manon, ""Samson ct Dalila,"
"Rigoletto." Don Carlos" "L'Amore
del Tire Re-" "Mefstofele" Eugene
Onegin,' lie Cog dor" "Cleopatra's
Night" Tristan and Isolda," "Parsi-
fal'' and a few other famous works.
But of course there would remain
a possible revival of "Hansel and
Gretel. together with the perennial
