1t was a pleasure to see and hear
this singer work up to her powerful
dramatic climaxes without sac
rif1cing beauty of tone.
Her Santuzza is essentially the
love tossed woman who gave her
good name to a firebrand of lover,
only to realize that he still loved
Lola, wife of Alto.
Miss Vergeri showed both her I'M
Outstanding of the dramatics of the
role when she tells Mamma Lucia,
Turiddu's mother, of her sad plight
and the Scandalous actions of Tu-
riddu and Lola. Here we see a
troubled and honest soul who loved
none too well.
Then in one second, Vergeri trans
forms Santuzza into fighting mad
woman who struggles to hold the
love Of the man she loves.
Then jealousy enters her heart
and she tells Alto, the teamster, OF
the unfaithfulness of his wife. She
then realizes that Alto is mad with
jealousy and then fear enters her
heart for Turiddu.
Of course the fight-Turiddu is
killed by Alto in knife duel San
tuzza then crashes to the ground in
the public square.
Here is big dramatic acting of a
powerful operate role and the sue
cess of "Cavalleria" depends to a
large measure upon the way this
role is handled.
Miss Vergeri reached great dra-
matte heights and her powerful and
true voice only increased her worth
as a member of the company. To
my way of thinking, she is the COM
manding member of the company,
judged by the opera I have seen
this company give.
Luis Ibarguan caught the nervous,
devilish and conceited spirit of
Turiddu. He has good voice and
satisfactory understanding of the
role although he has filled it with
nervous mannerisms.
Eunice Harper was Lola; Eugenio
Prosperoui the Alto and Julia
Peters was the Mamma Lucia.
Following "Cavalleria," the COM
pany last night presented "Pag-
liacci," an opera closely associated
with Caruso.
Francesca Bocca Fusco was the
Canio. Good in voice and with a
competent understanding of the
dramatics of the role. An agreeable
performance.
Maryla Granovska did not look
the part of Media, Canio'S unfaith-
full wife. Her voice not strong, but
high and clear.
Robert Farina was the Beppo, the
Harlequin, and MARITIME Rossi was
a most interesting Tonic, the clown.
RosSi has a powerful voice and he
knows this opera because he was
always in the spirit of the role. A
good actor and an excellent singer.
Eugenio Prosperoni was the Silvio.
Michael Fevisky conducted both
operas and again repeated the mar
velous impression that he made on
Monday night by directing aida"
The second night Of the opera on
the part of this company proves
that we have treat in town this
week. Because of the general ex-
cellence of the principals and the
directing of Feveisky, larger houses
should greet this company. Faust"

PACIFIC S. S. co. REPORT SHOWS PROGRESS

OF the close of the year was excellent,
showing current ratio of approx
mately two for one and the entire abb
sence of notes payable. This condi-
ton reflects a substantial improve
ment over the situation year ago,
when current assets were approx
mately one and one-half times the cur
rent liabilities.
Funded Indebtedness outstanding
December 81, 1925, was reduced $685.
000 This amount was deposited with
the trustees to take care of first mort
gage bonds which matured January /,
1927. During the year 1926 an amount
of $331,018.S4 was charged to expens-
es and credited to depreciation re-
serves. The net surplus on Deem
Der 81, 1926, was 1897 ,68138. The
quarterly preferred stock dividends of
IL per cent were maintained through
out the year. The dividend due Feb
ruary !, 1927, has been declared.
The company expects substantially
better earnings during 1927 through
reduction in operating expenses and
an increase in gross revenues, due to
an additional Alaskan service.

the stockholders says:

Fruit and Flowers
Real and Unreal

THE lovely new kinds of artif-
4 cial fruits and flowers. which
are so natural looking that they arc
often mistaken for the real variety.
produce very satisfactory decora-
tive effects when garden things are
not in season.
But few weeks exposure to the
ordinary dust and SCOT OF the air
can destroy the attractiveness OF
the most expensive bit of waxed
fruit or the most realistic flower
display.
Many people simply discard these
delightful arrangements when they
become soiled. rather than attempt
an unknown method Of cleansing.
The following treatment has been
tried with perfect success on waxed
and paraffined materials as we'll a.
on flowers made OF tinted shells:
Prepare rich suds Of Ivory soap
and lukewarm soft water. Dip the
ornament in and out Of the suds
several times. If the water becomes
badly soiled repeat with fresh suds.
Rinse by dipping In clear water
containing a few drops of ammonia.
Dry as quickly as possible by
placing on q soft cloth or hanging
by a string in warm airy place.
This method will not damage tho
most delicate surface or injure the
lovely colorings that are the real
secret of the natural appearance OF
these new sorts Of decorations.

The launching of the new ferry
marks another step in programme
of expansion planned by the Grand
Trunk for its service on the Lake
Michigan route. The Grand Rapids,
a sister ship to the Madison, was
launched last October. Both vessels
are of steel construction and are de-
clared to be of the most modern and
best equipped ships of their type ON
the Great Lakes. They bring the
total number of ferries operated by
the Grand Trunk on the Lake Michi-
gan route up to four thus greatly in
creasing the facilities for freight SER
vice through this district.
The Madison will carry thirty Of
the largest type of freight cars and
also has accommodations for passen-
gers and for carrying automobiles.
There are staterooms and suites, a
beautifully finished dining saloon and
large observation room with loung-
ing chairs and writing desks. From
the mechanical point of view the
Madison and her sister ship are de-
clarcd to be the last word in marine
construction.
The new ferries will ply between
Grand Haven and Milwaukee.
