LAS NocHEs DEL MUNICIPAL
LA DANA DE LAS LIBELULAS


Otro Gxito mas acaba de apuntarse
Ia gran compaiifa de opereta "Soler-
Eela", que desde hace algunos dfas es-
td rabajando en- nuestro Teatro NUM-
cipal Estamos disfrutando de una YER
dadera temporada artfstica. Ia opereta
es el g6nero teatral que con mas sim
patizadores cuenta en- esta capital, Y el
pdblico SO apresta a aprovechar la
magnffica oportunidad que brinda la
cOmpaiifa "Soler-Nela", pOniendo ell
escena las meiores pbras de su excclen
te repertoire
pOr tres noches cOnsecutivas, la COM
pailla la rcpresentado La Danza dc
las Iib6lulas", grandiosa obra del macs
tro Leahr. que tantos aplausos lie ha
Waldo, doquiera ha sido puesta en- es-
cena.
Adriana Soler, Ell el papel de Elena,
estuvo insuperable. Sus grandes facul-
tades artfsticas, su agradable manera
dc decir, 10 dulce de su voz, hicieron
que el sOberanO premiara su labor con
nutridos Y prolongados aplausos.
Dorita Lloret, como siempre, estuvO
deliclosa en- su papel de sonora Tutd.
Dorita diminuta Y graciosa Sc ha ga
nado las simpatfas del pdblico, que STEM
pre- acoge SUI salida a escena con una
Ovaci6n de homemade.
III senior Vela, triunf0 por complete
en- su papel de arist6crata. Su bien tim
brada voz, Y su gran dominic de la eS-
cena, le hacen salir airoso, aun en- los
momentOs mas diffciles de una obra.
FL sehor Reynaldo, es el favoritO del
p1blico, por sus eXcepcionales faculta-
deS c6micas. No necesita recurrir a las
payasadas, con que otros nos obsequian,
para hacer reir al audtorio. Y en- la
DANA dc las Lib6lulas', Sc luce EN- ell
papel de Bouquet, que tanto cuadra a
sus facultades artfsticas de actor CO
mico.
La sehorita Carrillo cl se1or Mora
to, trabajaron muy bien cOoperaron
mucho al triunfO de la obra. Los coros,
magnificoS, Y la decoration sencilla-
mente grandiosa. La decoration usada
en- el tercer acto, es de un efecto ar
tfsteO encantador, v al levantarse ell
tel3n, el pdblico premi6 la labor del di-
rector artfstico, con una prolongada
ovaci6n.
Ia mejor recommendation a la obra,
en ma palabra, es que Sc ha representa-
do durante tres, noches consecutivas,
con numeroso auditorio.
HSta noche, Ia, compaiifa pone en- es-
cenh, 'La Duquesa del Tial Tabarfn"

Ia cual Ia compaifa obtienee I'm gran

the Average Man
By JOHN W. LAIRD, DIRECTOR OF RESEARCH
THE PALAIS ROYAL -
In the editorial of last Sunday we
commended that the average man is re-
Ggious and that TRUTH is one of the
corner stones of his temple of religion.
He hates falsehood whether it be in the
merchant, preacher, educator or journal
ist.
Further analysis of the average man
shows that his religion contains a very
large measure of JUSTICE. He neither
wants something for nothing, nor is he
willing to accept nothing for something,
The average man is not backward in
seeking to be just to himself and he
knows well that justice to ones self is not
selfishness but self-preservation, which
is one of the first laws of life.
Mr.. Average Man does not demand
nine hours pay for six hours work;
neither is he satisfied with six hours pay
for nine hours work. He wants com
pensation and merit to go hand in hand.
The average man means to be just to
fQl
and then you will find a rascal who
glories in his capacity to take unfair ad-
vantage of another's weakness or ignor-
ance as means to crafty his own selfish
and inglorious ambition. He is not the
average man, however, and his kind is
increasingly unpopular.
The average man has a pretty keen
sense of a Supreme Being who is present
with men in their joys and sorrows and
who co-operates in the solution of their
problems. 1t is in the average man to-
day that you find the horizontal lines of
justice toward men curving into per.
pendicular lines of justice toward God.
The average man is increasingly in
sistent in his demand for justice. He
complains that in the Courts of Justice
the one thing often lacking is justice.
He asks that in the councils of war there
shall be justice; he pleads that in the
halls of legislation there shall be justice;
he demands that in the conferences of
religion there shall be justice; and in the
interracial and international and inter-
age man insists upon justice.
