ROBIN HOOD

-
Robin Hood" which will be pre-
scented at the Lyric theatre wednes-
day, February 2, matinee and even
ing, is acknowledged TO be the great
est masterpiece OF comic opera ever
written by Americans. The charm
of Reginald de Koven's music is as
fresh today as when it was first en-
joyed 25 years ago, and the dial
ogue OF Harry B Smith is as spark
ling now as It was then, Like fine
old wine Robin Hood" seems 70 I'M
prove with ase. It has stood the
acid test Of time because it is real
work Of at and The genius which
inspired It should crafty the pride
of every American.
Nothing could bc more rasdqatla~
than the story upon which the opera
was founded The old English tale Of
Robin Hood and his band OF outlaws
is famous one and their merry
pranks in Sherwood forest have fur
nished Sir Walter Scott and other
writer's stories that will live long
as our language. Around this cele-
brated theme was built the delight
full opera by de Koven and Smith
and in its musical form they have
given us a new pleasure that adds
zest to the story of the greatest OF
England's popular heroes.
Robin Hood" was by no means
an imaginary character He really
existed, and his romantic advent
lures happened during the reign OF
Richard Occur de Leon, the ver
mention OF whose name arouses
thrill. Robin Hood was originally q
nobleman. who became an outlaw In
revenge for an injustice done him
by the authorities. He was extreme
ly popular with the common people
and little wonder. for he only rob-
bed the rich and shared his spoils
with the poor. He easily evaded the
officers OF the law, whose unsuccess-
full efforts to catch him furnish much
OF the humor of the opera. The love
scenes between Maid Marian and him
are without doubt the most romantic
in, all comic operas For this we
should be deyoutiy grateful, for al
the world loves a lover, except. per
haps, his rival.
An opera OF such merit as robin
Hood" demands a singing cast OF
INC nibncoI OIuSI dhu thS NohAiAt

ment, as the principals are all OF
grand opera calibre
Heading the cast is Albert Pari

POE ANNIVERSARY

This day marks the sevcnty-secona
anniversary Of the death OF Edgar
Allan Foe. If the poet is aware Of
mundane affairs he must be pleased
20 find that, at length, there has
been reared to his memory lasting
and appropriate memorial; more
pleased, perhaps, because the city IN
which he passed SO many years OF ms
life offers this tribute to his genius;
Mrs. Archer Jones has worked
with the Poe Memorial Trustees, US
ing building material from, the
Southern Literary Messenger build
ing, the Ellis and Allan storehouse;;
where Poe was once employed, and
the house in which Poe's mother dled

ENGLAND DID NOT WANT

Washington, Feb. 12.-More than
one suggestion that Great Britain's
war debt to United States be written
off has come from British sources, q
member Of the Senate foreign relations
committee said today after Secretary
Houston had been closeted with the
committee for two hours discussing
the status Of American foreign loans.
Committee members said Mr.. Hous-
ton had confirmed that tho British gov

eel the debt and that the Treasury
Department had refused. First init
nation that such proposal had been
made was given by J. Austen Cham
bcrlain, British chancellor of the eX-

him was to follow the law authoriz-
