THE LAST FLY OF SUMNER

THE LAST FLY OF SUMMER
'Tis the last fly of summer,
Left buzzing alone;
All her hateful companions
Are swatted and gone.
No fly of her kindred,
No offspring is nigh;
But watch out for new ones
Her birth rate is hight
I'll not leave thee lonely
To pine for the rest
III swat you, confound you,
You vile, buzzing pest.
Thus kindly | scatter
Your carcass well fed
Where thy mates of the summer
Are scattered and dead

OPERA COMIQUE
 IS HERE TONIGHT

With the presentation tonight at the Masonic auditorium, of 'The I'm presario," Mozart's famous Opera ComiQue, theatre goers win have their first treat of the season in the realm of opera, and very probably their only treat of such nature, for no other opera is scheduled so far for appearance in Birmingham during the remainder of the theatrical season. ''The Impresario" is without doubt in the front rank of world wide light opera. The English version-for the play is presented in English-was written by the, late Henry Edward Krehbiel of New York city, who has tion as a critic in the world of the theater and theater going folks. Percy Hemus, who makes his first public ap- pearance in Birmingham in 'The Im- presario," plays the title role. Gifted with a wonderful baritone voice, which training and experience have brought to that high state of perfection which places him in the front rank of con- cert stars, MT. Hemus makes a won derful impression in ''The Impresario." !" in fact it is said by critics that he rises to his greatest heighS in the part he portrays in this opera. Lovers of the theatre-of music and of the opera-will find in 'The Impresario" sheer delight that only comes from such artistry as the range of light opera presents. An all American star opera and concert cast appear in support of Mir. Hemus, including among them Alabamas own Lottice Howell, whose wonderful voice and charming person ality have won her pronounced recOg- milton on the concert and opera stage. No doubt great crowd will greet the presentation of 'The ImpresariO,' which includes Birmingham this year for the first time as it makes it's thipl successful continental tour. Ample seats are still available at the Masonic auditorium box office. Special rates of one half price in the balcony and reserved section of the orches- tra have been made for all music stu dents bearing certificates from ac- credited teachers. The curtain rises at S:15 o'clock tonight for the one and | only Dprformance in Birmingham
