who appoint Abner Reed, played by

her elevated steed, so to speak.
All would have gone well but for
the fact that an Italian diplomat,
procured to make artificial love to
Miss Wardlaw, misunderstood the
"joke" part and went about the Job
in earnest. It all ends up with Lucy

SUMMER FESTIVALS
OPEN WITH "MIKAD0"
Estelle Wentworth Opera Group
and Army Band at the Sylvan
Theater Last Night.
BY ALICE EvERSMAN.

The Summer Festivals at the Sylvan
Theater opened auspiciously last eve
ming under pleasant weather condt-
lions with large crowd in attendance.
The stage of the theater was at
tractively decorated and lighted for
the performance of 1.-THE Mikado" by
the Estelle Wentworth Opera Group
in a manner to suggest the japanese
surroundings in which the opera story
takes place.
AS the side of the stage the United
States Army Band was stationed for
the half hour concert of Gilbert and
Sullivan music, under the direction
of Lieut.. Thomas F. Darcy, which
preceded the opera. The lifting airs
of these beloved composers works
were played with spirit by the band
in way to place the listeners in
the proper mood for the opera which
followed.
With Estelle Wentworth at the piano
and directing the singers, the group
gave one of the best performances OF
this popular work of their repertoire,
WIN q gam III SmOotnIleSS duo SuDLictJ
still more pronounced than at the last
hearing. As previously, the part Of
the hero, Nanki Poo, was sung by
Ray Baine, with Alma Harris as the
attractive Yum Yum. The parts Of
her two sisters, Pitt Sing and Peep
30, were taken by Margaret Horn and
Alice Deckman. Ira Meyer was again
the agile Ko Ko, with Walter Perry as
Pooh Bah and Harry Yeide as Pish
Tush. The role of the Mikado was
excellently interpreted by Harry Grove
and Katisha by Mildred Sherman.
The large chorus sang well and with
whole-hearted acting helped greatly to
sustain the interest throughout the
evening.

"Ah wilderness" Is one OF the big
pictures of the year. Lionel Barrymore
win play the role In which George
Conan made theater history last sea-
son. The "filmagnates" wanted VIII
Rogers to do it, but no money induce
ment could persuade the genial win
to make a gelatin record of his con-
tribution to this ONeill characterize
ton. There is, 1t seems, q vast likeness
in the performances of Conan and
Rogers-the latter played the part sue
cesSfully In Hollywood theaters-but
Eastern critics might draw compari-
sons and those things are "odious"
sometimes.
The big ind for this picture is q
young boy who will play the next most
important role In the piece. Buttons"

Aims centers around O story of San

Over Frisco" had It's superlative mo-
ments and was, at all times, tue San
Francisco.
Sam Goldwyn's ''Barbary Coast" Is
another story Of San Francisco now
In production. I hear that the fog
machines, used to create atmosphere
for this one, caused such heat and
lack Of air that the entire set had to be
air conditioned before the company
could 60 to work. Quite an expensive
proceeding, but then Goldwyn has the
name Of doing things well, or not at all.

Royal Barber
Shop Modern,
Up To Minute

One of the most modern barber
shops in this section of the coun-
try is the Royal Barber Shop,
owned and operated for the past
four years by R. B. Warren, one of
the best known men in the state.
This shop is located at $40 Sixth
Ave. No., Minneapolis. In addition
to its four chairs with four Of the
best BARRIERS obtainable on hand to
serve its patrons, a customer may
receive a manicure, shoe shine, and
have his clothes cleaned and
pressed in the pressing and tailor
ing shop in connection.
Recently Mr.. Warren had his en-
tire shop redecorated. The Royal
Shop has always tried to maintain
a high standard of tonsorial serv-
ice, Mr.. Warren told a representa-
tive of this paper this week.
1t was necessary for Mr.. warren
to send out of the city to secure the
services of Milton Chenneth, an A
1 barber, to supplement the work of
Vern Stone, one of the best known
BARRIERS in the Twin Cities. Due to
Minnesota regulations, a barber
from another state must take the
very thorough examination of the
state barber board before practic-
ing his profession. Mr.. Chenneth
took this examination last week,
and is now attending the wants of
the legion of Royal clients.
"Rube" Warren has lived in Min
nesota for the past 20 years. He
is determined, he said Tuesday, to
continue to give Minneapolis big
ger and better barber service.

WHEN BUYING GROCERIES
AND MEATS CONSIDER

Although the food markets have
among their best clientele the st.
Paul Negroes, few of them employ
Negro workers and seldom do they
advertise in the Negro newspapers.
Thus we have no way to know what
firms appreciate Negro patronage.
A new Recorder advertiser this
week is little Bros. Packing Co.,
Inc, 445 Wabasha St., who sell
meats, sea foods and poultry. This
firm solicits your patronage
through the Recorder.
