BLOSSOM TIME
RETURNS TO CITY

Blossom Time" the brilliant
Franz Schubert operetta, opens at
Englishs, Dec. IA. for week.
The peculiar distinction OF Bios

that it's musical score is largely, II
not entirely, made up from songs
from the undying works OF 80 great
a composer as Franz Schubert, but
that music OF such character lin
these days not yet free from the I'm.

potent an appeal TO all classes OF
theatergoers.
That Blossom Time does cast its
spell for all sorts and conditions Of
theater patrons has been attested
everywhere, and nowhere more tell
ing than in this city.

rick Kelly as the baron, Robert Lee
