Our old friends the San Carlo Opera
company. and various wellknown
stars, are merrily engaging themselves
in a New York season, and, with
great success according to various ex-
changes. Anna Fitjiu, in "Tosca" and
"Lohengrin, Dorothy Jardon in Car

many Carmenish effects in "A one-act
vaudeville sketch. especially with her
splendid singing? Tamaki Miura in
Butterfly" and Marie Rappold in
Trovatore," all of these are among
the stars with which the company
has been strengthened and enlarged.
Ernest knoch appeared as guest con-
ductor with the company, and in many
reviews the work of the chorus and
the orchestra has been approvingly
commended. The, names Of many of
the members of the company who
were with them on divers trips to
Omaha are also seen in the different
casts.

The American Legion of Omaha is
proud of it's band. The annual en-
campment of the Legion takes place
in New Orleans October 16 to 90, and
the local post is anxious to send the
band to the encampment, to take part
in the prize competitions there and to
add its share to the general pleasure
of the meetings. But ii takes money
TO accomplish this. and the band will
give a concert "Wednesday evening, DC

to raise money for this purpose. The
band was third in the last competition,
and one of the marks against it was
the lack of uniforms. Now the boys
have the uniforms and they stand a
good chance of winning first prize. II
they can raise the necessary funds 10

direction OF Henry G. Cox, who il
