HEAVY CLASSIC OPERAS
 PREFERRED BY GERMANS
Theatcr Owner Takes Vote and Finds Patrons Disdain Opcr-
 ettas-"Aida" Most Popular.

Duisberg, March 6 Pl-Sixty-four per cent of the theater goers of this German city prefer heavier operas to light operettas and ask that classic works be performed.
 The management of the Duisburg Municipal theater took d straw vote to determine what sort of perform ances to stage in 1850. Of those who responded, 64 per cent preferred classic opera, 9 per cent the drama and only 14 per cent operettas.
 The following operas won out in this competitions: Ferdis Aida Wagner's .Lohengrin," Strauss "Rosenkavalier," Weber's "Oberon," Wagner's Ring of the Nibelungen" and Halevy's "Juive."
 The result is considered surpris- ing as Duisburg is a throbbing in dustrial city of 420,000 inhabitants. It was generally assumed her tired business men would demand mu- sical comedy.
