Annual Festival REEVES Past
In Picturesque Mining Town

Paths Truuersed
On Gold Circuit
WNU Features.

CENTRAL CITY, COLO.-The
golden tradition which was born
88 years ago in the heart of a
mountain wilderness is being re-
vived again this summer with
presentation of the twelfth Gen.
trail City festival. In the famous
old stone opera house of this quaint
city tucked in the heart of the
Rocky Mountains. Beethoven's dra-
matte opera "Fidelio" and Flo
tow's romantic martha" are be-
ing sung by a cast of Metropolitan
opera stars. Throughout the fes-
tival the picturesque old mining
town itself becomes theater, pre-
senting life as it was when Central
City was known as "the richest
square mile on earth"
Known as "the summer theater
capital of America" Central City
annually is host to thousands of
visitors during the play festival. Be-
cause of increasing interest in the
production, the festival this year
has been extended to two periods,
the first running from July 4
through July 26 and the second per-
formances being scheduled for Au-
gust 2 through August 81.
Birth of the opera festival. is
traced back to the 1865 when min
ers Of the little boom town of Gen.
trail, despite grueling hours with the
pick and shovel from daylight to
dark, always managed to find time
for an hour or so of music and
drama of an evening. The prospec-
tors who swarmed over the noun
tains after John Gregory's lucky
gold strike which created Central
City in 1859 had only the faithful
burro to share their toll.
Save for few Indian trails,
there were no paths, much less
wagon roads. So the performers
of that bygone day, often world
famous singers or actors, COW
cred the "gold circuit on
horseback.
The historic Central City opera
house, which was built in 1878 to
satisfy the demands of the mining
camps unusual urge for the finer
things of life, remains essentially
the same today as it was 88 years
ago. Not so the roads and trails.
Gone is the early toll road up
Golden Gate canyon, west of the
town of Golden. Today motorists
speed up the mountainside on a
modern highway. paying no toll
charges.
The opera house itself, reputed to
have cost 100000 and to have been
paid for in great part in gold dust

above the sound of pick and
drill.
Early Central City people spon-
sored church choirs, quartets and
even musical "duels," in which
Irish ballad singers competed
against adherents of German love
songs. They paid royalty when visit
ing artists came to town. So it was
natural that when the famous opera
house passed into possession of Uni
versity of Denver in 1881, the first
thought was to revive the musical
glories of the past.
The modern era of Central City
opera opened with Lillian Gish in
the title role of Camille" produced
by Robert Edmond Jones in 1881.
Since then, every year except dur
ing the four war years, outstanding
productions with world famous art
lists and producers as well as the
dramas and music of the masters
have graced the old stage.

Charcoal Burner of
1875 Ranks as First
Automobile in Mutton

BOSTON.-Laurels as the builder
of the nations first automobile go to
George A. Long, 96-year-old Back
Bay man. in the opinion of Massa-
chusetts Council of Automobile Old
Timers.
The society believes that Longs
charcoal burning motor vehicle,
constructed at Mortified in 1875,
ranks as the oldest automobile. It
consisted of a chassis on wooden
wheels, with fifth wheel in front
for steering and a solid axle to
which the driving wheels were
keyed.
Long got his idea for the contrap-
ton from an army camp in New
Hampshire where he saw a steam
boiler and visualized steam as the
source of propulsion for his vehicle.
The car was sold to a railroad,
which replaced the wooden wheels
with train wheels and used the We
hicle to carry newspapers to Keene.
N. H.

1883 on two speed, 800 pound

finest theater west of the Missis-

granite with walls four feet thick,
the opera house possesses an ample
stage, perfect acoustics and seating

While many music lovers come to

also are curious to view the hand

its plate glass mirrors and crystal
chandeliers. Many another is at

Since the early days of the
old mining town, there never
has been a time when music
was not the favorite byword of
Central City. Early Cornish
miners used to sing at their
work, their old world melodies

earth with an eerie beauty

New Heaters

Long-awaited improvements in
room and home heating now are
coming to us in disguise, judging
from the new oil space heaters. In
stead of looking like stoves used to
look and having the establishment,
the gingerbread and the gadgets
you might expect, these new heat
ers have been designed to the taste
of an interior decorator. Stream
lined, finished in modern tones,
available in numerous sizes, they
are built to fit, unobtrusively, in
room settings and to harmonic with
furniture and home decorations. But
design, according to the manufac-
turers, is only one feature of the
l947 model oil heaters. Having the
advantage of assured supplies of a
clean, economical fuel, the heaters
operate on the vaporizing, pot
type" burner principle in which the
oil itself does not burn, but instead
the oil vapor which is mixed with
air to produce an even and easily
controlled flame.

Britain Changed Calendar in
1852 and Lost a Weekend

When England changed New
Years Day from March rs to Janu-
ary l in 1852 and adopted the Grego-
rian calendar, thousands of English
men suffered prolonged 'lost week.
end" According to the Encyclo-
paedia Britannica, the change in the
calendar made it necessary to wipe
out II days of the year, which was
done by declaring that the day after
September was September IA, not
September 3. This brought England
into step with the Catholic countries,
which had adopted the Gregorian
calendar in 1882.
During the early Middle ages,
March 25 was considered the first
day of the new year by most Chris
tian peoples, but in Anglo-Saxon
England, the Britannica points out,
New Years Day fell on what is now
Christmas-December 25. At the
time of the Norman Conquest of
England, however, William the Con-
queror ordered that the year should
start on the first of January, pos
sibly. it Is believed, because his cor
onation was scheduled for that date.
, Still later, England reverted to the
custom observed by the rest of
Christendom and began her year on
the 25th of March, and that date
remained the first of the legal and
ecclesiastical year until 1852, when
the calendar was adjusted to the
Gregorian system which is still in
use today.

Unwanted Pacific Atoll
Now Valuable Ais Stallion

Tiny Palmyra, the low atoll ]. l0C
miles southward from Honolulu
used to be an "island without q
country, says the National Geo
graphic society.
Whaling ships often sought the
atoll's limited shelter in the early
18th century. One of the earliest
visitors was the American ship
Palmyra in 1902. AT various times
thereafter, the tropical pinpoint was
claimed for the United States, for
Great Britain, for the one-time Ha.
waiian kingdom, and by private in
dividuals for themselves.
Declarations by Hawaii in 1862, by
Great Britain in 1889, and by the
United States in 1912 were sovereign
claims among many private ones.
All lapsed, however, because the
atoll was not worth holding. By 1885,
the trans-oceanic phase of air trans
port had arrived, and the United
States raised the Stars and Stripes
over Palmyra, prospective way sta
ton on the New Zealand air route.
More than so islets make up
Palmyra's land total. of $50 acres.
They are links in the five-mile-long
horseshoe-shaped platform of coral
and hard sand that encloses three
separate lagoons. Largest islands,
Cooper, on the north, and Eastern,
on the east, cover less than so acres
each.
