he lie was able to please the children fo well when he was three years under his teens he lie was taken by a bighearted big hearted generous trainer and taught to do athletic tricks for the entertainment of audiences and while yet a little boy be was delighting everybody else he bad had a kind master and became the pet odthe of the ladies he therefore grew up with the idea of making people feel good and with the idea of feeling good himself fir F ir nearly fifty years be has been doing else and bow many hundreds of thousands of little souls have associated the name of haalon with that of santa Sinta claus aa as one who was devoted to their happiness A treat was experienced in poor jonathan there is this difference with Conri eds opera company and many of his I 1 refer to the prominent companies of course conried selects some genuinely brilliant light opera he chooses a company with witti regard to ita its especial fitness for that particular opera y he e lavishes lavished lavis hes on the single production a vast amount of money for costuming and p properties bertles pert les ergo when you bear hear a conried az opera you hear a perfect musical gem other companies travel with 1 11 in other words they are prepared to give anywhere from three to a dozen operas The they have to carry a line of costuming and scenery for all kii this number the result is that some of the productions are poorly staged othera fairly given while others are enjoyable but not perfect take carleton Gar leton for instance and I 1 lam am a carleton C admirer bv the way nanon narion the mikado the gondoliers Gondo liers ll 11 indigo andeer and SOT pral otner operas ara are in his repert olra 11 now it seems at first that it is a very nice thing to appear two three four or five fire evenings in one place and give a different opera every evening event anz but the effect is that none are so well given as where all the energies are devoted to one production prodoc tion I 1 know well the opposite appo le argument ar 9 ament that by occasional changes change the th e dingers si niters are given variety and are fr fresher esber than where moving week in and week oat out in the same

must be a complete battlefield and soldiers are not permitted to fight with a parlor scene behind them costumes must be historically tori cally correct in other words we must please the reil betic
