Mr. Solomon, advance man of "The' >hemian Girl," who was in Abbeville jnday, says the aggregation which 11 present the spectacular revival that delightful opera here, is the me company which appeared in >ston and at the Hippodrome in i >w York City. One of the features j the show will be the troupe of j ab acrobats, who pull off some irtling acrobatic stunts. In their ef- j rts to attain the ultima thule of i alism, the producers are sending j t with their company a troupe of j ained horses, monkeys, geese and j tr> on _t'? oh innoH I psy camp. The company carries its own orches i of 14 pieces and two cars are re-1 lired to carry the scenery and other I cessories. A special train will be run from ; eenwood in order that lovers of the i eatre in that town may have an op rtunity to witness this production. The appearance of "The Bohemian rl" will be an event in Abbeville's eatrical history.

The highly spectacular revival of "Thp Rnhpmlan fJirl" 1n 'RnfHsh as it will be presented by the Aborn Op era Company at the Opera House on November 14th is said' to be duplicat ing its immense success of last seas on. Several factors combined give to Balfe's greatest work a high place in the estimation of discriminating lovers of operas. Of those, the foremost is of course Balfe's delightful ballads "The Heart Bowed Down," "I Dreamt I Dwelt in Marble Halls," "Then You'll Remember Me" and others of equal beauty, but it should not be overlook ed that to "The Bohemian Girl" Al fred Bunn, its librettist, gave a book that contained as interesting and coherent a romance as has been sup plied to any of the other standard operas. While these two elements were sufficient in themselves to win and keep a place for the opera in the affection of those who enjoy the bet ter grade of theatrical offering, the Messrs. Aborn thought they saw an opportunity to add to its already great popularity, and in furtherance of this, they called into consultation Edward P. Temple of Hipprodrome fame, who immediately appreciated the possibilities for the making of a great spectacle out of "The Bohem ian Girl." How well he has done his work is best attested by the substan tial success that has attended the opera's presentations in its new form. The requirements of the music have not been lost sight of by Mr. Tempre in his work of consistently introduc ing a troupe of acrobatB, horses, monkeys, chickens, pigB, geese, etc. This task would seem impossible,and still it is said that while one on read ing of the innovations is very likely to feel that they must detract from the opera, it has been found that in its present form it makes a vastly stronger appeal to opera-goers in particular, and theatregoers general ly, than it did before the Aborns gave to it a spectacular side. Another change that is claimed works for the good, is the employment of a corps de ballet in the magnificent Marble Halls scene, whe/e, incidental to the third act, "The Dance of the Hours" from Ponchielli's "La Gioconda" is given. This takes the place of the Minuet that was a part of the old ver sion of the opera. In the Aborns re vival will be seen an unusually large company which will embrace a double cast of principals, chorus, dancers and a special orchestra. The promise made that scenically the production will meet the idea of the most exact ing. In the personnel of the cast are such well known singers as Helena Morrill, Nella Brown, Roy Pilcher, Wilmot C. Goodwin, Detmar H. Pop pin and Stephen Stott. The special orchestra is under the capable direction of George Lyding.

"Find the audience that has left a theatre after going through an even ing of troublesome seriousness or mawkish sentiment that is employed to create sympathy for some soiled heroine," she said, "and I will show you an audience that will not lose its breath hurrying to see that same1 play the next season. The people want to be made happy and be en tertained. They do not want to go to the theatre to figure out problems or watch them figured out. They want to laugh and have gladness put into their lives." 0?0?0?0?0? 0 ?0?0?0?0?0 0 0 0 EEAL ESTATE TRANSFERS 0 0 0 | 0?0?0?0?0? 0 ?0?0?0?0?0 The following transfers of real es tate were entered In the Auditor's of fice during the month of October: Donalds Township Mary Davis and S.
