"BEGGAR'S OPERA" OPENS
MUSIC SEASON FRIDAY
1.-THE Beggar's OPERA" at 3 o'clock
on Friday afternoon. orsns Wash
lngton's musical season for 1929.
Quaint, tuneful, amusingly de-
lightful. this opera that set stand
ard for the topical songs and mel
odious scores of Gilbert and Sulli-
van will be given here by singers
of the British National Opera.
Since we can't anticipate the
music. we may at least learn how
"Peachun," fsncer and informer,
discovers that his daughter Is mar
ried to Captain Macheath. Plot and
counterpart begin at once, for the
father tries to induce his daughter
to betray her husband to the au-
thorities.
Instead. she warns Captain Mac
heath to flee.
Macheath is somewhat Of a phil
anderer. For in the second act we
find him at an inn where he has
summoned some of the ladies of the
town with whom he is great ia
vorite." One of them, Jenny Diver,
betrays him to Peaehum and the
Captain is carried off to Newgate
Prison.
The prison scene is said to be
filled with much satire that set
the early London public by the
ears, as 1t hit the dignitaries who
were apt to occupy the boxes at that
time.
Macheath, in Jail. finds Lockit a
friendly jailor who fits him with
an easy set" of irons. Then comes
Lockit's daughter. in love with
Macheath, rumors Of Polly and of
Lucy and another maid, until the
doughty captain seems to have
achieved four wives at once, who
await him at the scene Of his exc
cution.
The culprit suggests that the exc
cution take place at once, as doubt
less the lesser of two evils.
Just here an indignant player.

Definition of Heroism
The judgment of the scribe, who
so arranged the names in the order
of Importance and news interest,
seems to have been justified by the
tremendous welcome that New York
prepared for Levine. But somehow
it reminded me of story.
A gentleman, driving round Chi.
cago in a taxi shortly after Leyine's
transatlantic flight, got into CONVEX
sation with the driver, who waxed
vastly enthusiastic over filters in
general and Levine in particular.
"Lindbergh? Yes, a hero. Cham.
berlin, a hero. But Levine, he's
the greatest hero OF ALL" And to
the question How do you figure
that out?" he replied, "Lindbergh,
Chamberlin, they had nothing to
lose but their lives. But Levine, he
stood to lose $5.0OO,OO0?'

breakers out of Chicago in 80 days.
That will be historic drive if the order is carried

1t would be wonderful thing for Chicago But how
about the other cities, to which the undesirable resi-
dents exiled? This is a not uncommon procedure
with criminal problem, but doesn't really solve the

LEND A HELPING HAND

Mississippi Valley.

Jected to such calamity exists dozen
more states, deprving thousands of persons of their

Will Rogers, made serious for the moment by the

of the most deserving classes of Americans-the ten

Ell Centros quota of the S., 100000 which the Red

the local chairman be raised by service clubs civic

Contributions however should not be limited to these
sources. All of us should do our Bit We would help

of American women and children in dire distress at
this moment, and dollar will go far to relieve their

THE richer counties could then is
sue from time to time county bonds
for such additional improved roads as
their taxable basis and outstanding
bonded indebtedness justify.
Viewed from the Montgomery
County standpoint, to continue to build
lateral roads from State and county
bond proceeds will require the proper
ty owners of Montgomery County to
assume approximately $4,000 worth
of county bonds each year and to
become liable annually, along with the
rest of the State, for 100000 worth
of State bonds, of which latter amount
Montgomery County taxpayers will
actually pay off through direct State
taxes over $25, 900 in State bonds each
year.
Building the lateral roads from an
increase in gasoline tax will, on the
other hand. require all of the auto
mobile users of the entire State to
pay for the lateral roads as they are
built, so that the property owners of
any county will actually pay smaller
percentage of the total sum expanded
for lateral roads, and none of their
contribution will be q direct tax"
