The latest federal survey re-
ported Saturday shows a drop
in the relief load of 80 per cent
in the peak of 100000
families and single persons in
January 1885. The survey
shows that at the peak the re-
lief load showed that between
20 and Fl million were on re-
lief and that now only about IL
million are on the list. WPA
has spent $2,3OO,OOO,OOO and
other agencies including the

Present Opera Company

people greeted the Ely Municipal Band
and the Russian Theatre Novelty at the
Washington auditorium on Sunday
evening. This was the second concert
given by the band in connection with
guest artists and the crowd and the
applause following each number clearly
demonstrated that the efforts to furnish
high class entertainment by the band
was appreciated by the Ely music
lovers.
The band opened the evening with
five excellent numbers in which every
instrument in the organization was Of
fered an opportunity to display the
peculiar tone qualities of the players.
The guest artists were late in arriv
| ing from Virginia and when they did
come were handicapped by cold and it
required several minutes to than them
out and get ready for their parts in the
program. A delay resulted but the de-
lay was well worth the time of the spec
tator as the program presented by the
Lies Jou Joux" players was worth
waiting for a few minutes. During
! the time required to get the troupe
ready for their appearance the band
kept the audience interested with their
popular selections.
The Russian dancers scored a hit
from the beginning of their appearance
when Marguerite Rogers and Nicholas
Vasilieff opened with Chopin Inter
Jude" and Adrienne Lorelle gave a group
of costume songs under the title of the
"Porcelaine Figurine." Ivan Markoff in
his "Golliwog Cakewalk'' gave a good
representation of colored gentleman's
egotistical pride and foppishness.
Realization" by Beatrice Laidova and
Trina Feodorova followed and Miss
Lorelle gave a Scene American" in
which she represented an Indian and
the pioneer white woman. Music Hall
Memories by Miss Rogers and Mr..
Vasilieff and 1.-The Medicine Age" by
the dancing company were neatly and
approximately given.
More interpretative dances, a piano
solo by Peter Dimon; a violin solo by
Beatrice Laidova; 'Juliet's Potion Scene
by Miss Lorelle; Cossack dance by
Mr.. Vaselieff and "The Peasants Court
ship" by the entire company closed a
pleasant program
