Hood was made in Washington,
and Mr. Duffy being very fond
OF music purchased two seats to
see the opera. At the last minute
the man In charge Of the railroad
office informed Duffy that owing
to rush Of business he would have
to remain and do some special
work, but Mr.. Duffy was all set
on seeing Robin Hood, and after
considerable talk, not being able
to gain the managers permission
to use his two tickets, which to
him meant so much, he informed
his boss that he intended to see
Robin Hood and was told that it
was either his position or the
opera. Duffy chose Robin Hood.
Mr.. Duffy was the leading tenor
with the famous st. Louis Mu-
nicipal Opera Company for three
seasons before joining the Hopper
organization Of which he has been
q member for several years. He
is considered one Of the leading
light opra tenors and aside from
the sweet tonal qualities Of his
voice the principal feature OF his
singing is his enilnciation. The
latter makes him particularly val
liable in Gilbert and Sullivan
operas as the lyrics tell the story
and the players have to be able
to get the lines as well as the
melody over.
