The premiere Of Harry Wheaton
Towards new operetta, 'Luana,"
was given last night at the Parish
Hall of the Immaculate Concep
ton Church amid the enthusiastic
plaudits Of O large audience.
The Hawaiian Interlude" has
a wealth Of tuneful melodies such
as, Take Me Back to the Land
Where the Lotus Grows" He
Sang and Plucked' Q Tune on His
Guitar" Under the Soft Ha-
waiian Moon," and the comedy
song, That's Where the Trouble
Began" The prayer song Of sup
plication to the goddess "Pelee"
was especially effective.
Agnes Dowd as Luar1a, the halt.
breed Kanaka girl, furnished the
love interest for her native lover.
Kameloa, played by John Charles
Quigley, and william r. Hannah
in the role Of Stephen Long, the
white plantation manager. Marie
Veronica Nolte as Octavia Lansing
and John Sherman as DR.. Wesley
have prominent serious leads.
Most Of the comedy relief was
given by Catherine Ryan as Cor
nelia Manard, George Yocum Is
BERTHE Owens, and Fred Brown Is
Eddie Edwards.
The operetta, words and music
by the organist Of the church,
Harry Wheaton Howard, contains
the elements Of O delightful must
cal comedy; 1t has romance, hit"
tunes, colorful background and
scenery, plenty Of laughs, several
tense dramatic moments, and it
moves swiftly. "Luana" will be
repeated Thursday and Friday
night at $50 o'clock. This oper.
eta would make good summer fare
at the Sylvan TheGter.
The caption under the music
theme in yesterdays column was
by mistake the. same as that given
above. Yesterdays theme was
from "Marche HeroiQue," as ex-
planned further in the column.
The themes shown above are two
Of the many themes that are promi-
nent in Beethoven'S "Leonore
Overture No. g." There Is some
confusion concerning the desig.
nation Of the overtures by this
name.
When Beethoven's only opera
''Fidelio," was produced in 1905,
the "Leonore Overture No. q" was
used. The opera was revised with
the "Leonore Overture No. g."
serving as the prelude. At o sub
seQuent revival Of the opera the
"Leonore Overture No. l." was
used: and eight years later
another overture was used known
by the title of the opera "Fidelio."
The "Leonore Overture No. 8"
is considered o model overture in
that IL contains the germs Of the
musical ideas Ut the drama, and
in q measurable degree develops
some Of the themes. The first
theme shown above Is introduced
by the violinS and the second
theme il played by the flute. The

D.C.DIPHTHERIA
/ RATE CALLED
DISGRACE

Branding the number Of diph
iberia cases in the District Of Co
lumbia as "disgraceful," DR.. George
c. Rutland, District Health Off
Ger, today said there were 428
active cases and 200 carriers Of
the disease here. He declared:
"TnaSmuch as medical science
is in possession of the most mod
ern methods for cOunteracting
diphtheria, the present situation
is disgraceful. Other cities can
prevent the disease better than
the Nations Capital"
Steps will be taken Immediately
to combat the disease, the health
officer said, with clinics in Sc
lected areas.
Babies between the ages of six
months and one year are most
susceptible, DR.. Rutland declared,
adding that 10 per cent of the
diphtheria cases are found in chill
dren of preschool age.
Carriers, those who have the dis
ease yet do not feel the effects
themselves, are transferred to Gal
lnger Hospital as soon as they are
discovered, the physician said.
