New York, Sept. 29.-New York's
opening music gun of the season has
doomed. Doomed is the word. Aida

most pretentious opera urderta' ings.
as Manager Gatti-Casa=-a of the
Metropolitan and other mpresario cele-
brities have over and again proved.
Aida is the operate war-horse; the
vehicle tried and tru" which has long
since survived the acid test. 1t is

agerial foresight. he offered a new
set of principals in three of the lead
ing roles: Anne Roselle. in place of
Marie Rappold: Manuel Salazar, who
made us willingly forget Amad. Ia
madas: and Mario Basiola. a baritone
for whom a great deal enthusiastically
has been confidently predicted.
There was an audience which over
flowed the Century seats into the very
aisles. Had there been more room
more people would have gone inside
the auditorium. But there has to be
an end TO everything, which proved
true in this instance b. TO the dis

New System Of
Fat Reduction

Here's a new way for all fat pee-
pie to laugh together at that old
bugaboo-Obesity. The saying that
there is nothing new under the
sun" docs not now apply to fat peo-
pie any more. Here is something
new for them-a new sensation, a,
new pleasure, a. new and graceful
figure, easily found by anyone who is
passing beyond the limits of Slim
ness. Everyone has heard of tie
Marmola Prescription: that harmless
combination of fat-defying elements
perfected by one of the foremost
physicians. Now, from the same high
authority. there comes another idea
the idea of condensing these same.
pure, harmless ingredients into
pleasant little tablet. Taken after
eating and at bedtime. they help the
stomach to dispose of all the fatty
foods, converting them into compact.
solid flesh, muscle and energy, with
out dieting or exercise. Marmola
Prescription Tablets regulate the en-
tire system-do Dor you what bodily
exertion, self-denial and abusrd
greases and salves can not do. and
the fat. once routed. is gone for
good. You can prove all this at
trifling cost. Marmola Prescription
Tablets are sold by all druggists or
sent postpaid by the Marmola Com

possesses, as well, the capacity to keep

Those who remembered Miss Roselle

were slenderer than offered on this oc.
casion) were quick H. rc"ogrize her
natural gifts. She was a pleasing Aida

She was no cut-and-dried Ethiopian
maiden either. and she Stunned the
usual stiffness of movement and ces-
ture which some sopranos are prone
TO impart 10 this role. And there was
warmth in her singing: a genuine
feeling, in which tenderness. sorrow.
anger, and passion all were expressed.
If the tone sounded a bit tight at
times the cause doubtless was due to
the singers nervousness. At her next
appearance she shoLl.. do still better.

NEW CONCERT MANAGER.

A newcomer in the field of inder nd
ent concert managers in San Antonio,
is Miss Mildred Gates, well known in
music;G circles, who, this year, is in
augurating an all sta; popular-priced
concert series. The artists to be heard
in these Pop Concerts are Tandy
Mackenzie, lyric tenor; Margery Max
well, soprano, of the Chicago Opera
Company; The Criterion Male Quar-
tet; and Jacques Thibaud, French vic.
linist, who is making an American tour
after an absence of two years.
The Pop Concert" popular artists
at popular prices, is type Of musical
entertainment that is widely known
and justly appreciated in every one of
the larger cities of the country. 1t
fills need that has long been felt in
San Antonio for just this sort of mus
ical attraction. That the idea is ap.
pealing to the public at large is proved
by the fact that Miss Gates has already
secured more than 1900 7. is or SUBJ
scribers to her concert series.
Whenever such project has been
considered as offering really first-class
artists here at popular prices, it has
been dismissed on the grounds that San
Antonio had no auditorium that would
seat an audience large enough to make
such concerts a financial possibility.
Miss Gates feels that she has solved
this problem with the four POPULAR
priced concerts she is able to offer in
Beethoven Hall, because of the large
number of subscriptions wit. which
she Onpns her Season
An additional feature Of these con-
certs is that they will each be given
on Saturday evenings, which will af-
ford weekend visitors to the city OPP
portunity to hear them, as we'll as Of

speculation which has been going on
for months and months.
The choice of the Russian contra
bass virtuoso was no surprise to the
few who have kept close to Boston
symphony affairs. 1t could not have
been Bruno Walter, thou. many
guessers rather looked for his selec-

made in the Hub last season. For

The Musical Avalanche
We have been driven to shortness
of breath. lately, greeting the incom-
ing musical arrivals from the other
side. Nor do we expect our lungs to
regain their normal composure for sew
eral weeks to come. Almost every ship
from Europe that touches New York
within the approaching month and
more will bring an artist, or several
artists and mayhap a conductor or
two. The stream of returning music
folk will be constant until midOctober
Then, for another fortnight or two,
further voyagers will reach our shores.
1t is no less interesting than impress

flock into New York after summer
abroad. How astonishing their num-
