FRED AND DOROTHY
DUE HERE SOON

The announcement that Fred
Stone is positively booked at Eng
lish's for one week, beginning Mon
day, Feb. 81, has aroused the enthu-
siasm of the Stone admirers. The
fact that this famous entertainer
is again assisted in this latest
Charles Dillingham; production by
his brilliant and talented daughter,
Dorothy Stone. gives additional in
terest to the announcement.
In this musical melange entitled
"Criss Cross Miss Dorothy assumes
greater professional obligations than
ever, for which her ripper experience
admirably qualities her.
Fred Stone is one of the foremost
and outstanding stars of the stage,
who has reached his respective PIN
nacle by everlastingly working. and
who has had the sense to- continue
studying so that he can keep not
abreast. but ahead of the process
sion. This leading comedy star has
not an ounce Of foolishness in him.
Today he studies harder than any
person in the show-and he arrived
years ago. too.
In the recent production OF "CrisS
Cross Fred Stone makes his APP
.pearance from an airplane, coming
down to the center of the stage in
parachute. and then starts his
antics. which never let up through
out the entire performance.

1t will consist of an aIl-opera pro-
gram and will include choral eX-
cerpts from the great operas. In
this respect the concert will be tho
most unique and perhaps the most
ambitious yet presented in the
eleven years of choral work achieved
by the choir.
To assist in the rendition of the
difficult operate numbers chosen by
Stefen. the management of the
MendeIssohn Choir will bring three
Of the most noted artists of the Chi
Icago Civic Opera Company, Irene
Pavloska, soprano; Forrest Lamont
Tenor. and Virgilio Lazzari, basso.
With these three stars will also
come Frank st. Ledger, noted pian-
list, coach and director Of opera
Each of these artists has won SO
many notable triumphs in their re-
Spective roles on the repertoire OF
the Chicago Opera Company that
any expansion of their merits to any
one in the Middle West seems UNI
.necesa- Y. Their joint appearance
here With a finished body of singers
composing the Mendelssoin choir
will bring a new thrill to Indianap-
oils music lovers.
Most of the choral numbers
chosen by Mr.. Steffen for rendition
at thSf concert have never beer
presented in thtis city before by any
local musical group.
The program will open with tn,
prolog from Arigo Boito's "Meflsto'

lowed by the Song of the Scythe'
chorus from Mascagni's Cavalier;
Rusticana" and choruses from PUG

cipal number will be the eight-par

An intimate survey of the profess

is no rarity to find in the bewigged
ranks of concert and opera man or
a woman who has in an earlier day
caroled in a review or musical COM

in straight drama those who were
once we'll on their way to fame and
fortune in the lyric plays.
Blanche Yurka, the Dolores Men
DEE of 1.-The Squat" and generally
credited with being one of our
leading emotional actresses, won a
Scholarship-the Heinrich Conrad
scholarship-at the Metropolitan
when chit of a child, studied there
for two years and was rewarded one
day with the role of the grail bearer
in "Parsifal."
Ida Mule, the gossipy Dona Paca
of the Jones and Green success,
sang in the children's "Pinafore"
company in Boston, and was long
a featured singer in the operettas
OF Gilbert and Sullivan.
Aristides Di Leoni, the giant
Arabian, who is the Ell Moro of
1.-THE Squall," gave his first profess
Sional performance as a dramatic
baritone in opera at Mayence,
Germany, in 1910, and made a sue
ccssful concert tour of Switzerland,
England, Ireland, France, italy and
Egypt in 1912. He was engaged by
Oscar Hammerstein for the Man
haitian Opera Company in 1913, and
sang the baritone roles in twenty
seven operas for that impresariO.
Di Leoni is the only one to use
his lyric notes in 1.-The Squall." The

Chain Bridge and Lee Highway.

Motorists of Washington and adj
jacent Virginia are hopeful that the
Old Dominion road authorities will heed
the implied suggestion of the District
Engineer Department to postpone the
closing of the Lee Highway until repairs
on Chain Bridge are completed and 1t
is open to trathc, According to infor-
nation received in the District, the
Virginia State Highway Commission is
planning to start work on the Lee
Highway about July Is. This will ntces-
state the closing of the road between
Rosslyn and Cherrydale with traffic de-
toured over the already congested Will
son Boulevard. Inasmuch as August /.
is the date set for the completion OF
the new south abutment of the Chain
Bridge, District authorities believe that
Virginia would be, willing to wait two
weeks for the Lee Highway work in or
der that traffic. congestion and hazard
might be averted.
e 1t is necessary, in such matter as
this, that the State of Virginia and the
District work together. Many Virginia
residents commute daily to Washington
and the highway systems of the State
and District are closely linked. It is
therefore to be desired that Virginia
should. If the exigencies of its road pro-
gram permit. postpone closing of this
important tforoughfare until relief can
be afforded through the opening OF
