Story of Boris GodunoH."

Boris Godunofr,' Moussorgsky's
opera, starring Chaliapin, tells the
story of the usurper who has caused
the death of the heir to the throne OF
Russia and engineers q supposed
popular demonstration urging him to
accept 1t for himself. He becomes
czar, but a young monk, learning that
the czarevitch, had he lived, would
have been of his own age. pretends
that he is the heir and leads q move
ment against Boris. That revolt, how
ever, is less potent than Boris own
conscience. A prey to constant re-
morse, at last Boris gives way. He
dies, with his last words informing
the duma that his son Is the czar and
calling upon Heaven for pardon.
This will be one of four operas to be
given here In the week Of February 8,
by the Chicago Opera Company.

through the front offices and

What could be the matter with

I patted his head and said
