• San Carlo Grand Opera Company
at the Colonial Wednesday,
February 4.
ij»nor Angelo Antola, the eminent I
of the San Carlo Grand I
Opera Company, is said to be a stu
dent as well as a star—an artist who
believes acting as essential as singing,
maintaining that opera demands
something more of its interpreters
than a mere voice, however glorious.
There have been artists of renown
who have permitted the histrionic re
quirements of a role to go practically
unconsidered, paying attention sunply
to its musical claims. Writeft of
operatic criticism have even gone to
the length of distinguishing between
the singer who is an actor as well,
and the vocalist who has nothing but
his tones to recommend him, by de
scribing the former as a “dramatic”
baritone, tenor and so on. To the
real opera enthusiast there is but mod
est satisfactiiMi in hearing a singer,
even were he "at the top of his class,
whose acting ability is nil.
Signor Antola has been written
about and singled out as an artist
whose attainments leayp little to be
desired in operatic stardom. Firstly,
he is of most commanding presence.
Secondly, in his fidelity to character,
to say nothing of his splendid voice,
powerful and ringing. His conception
of the operatic singer's province in
cludes a thorough understanding of
the character to be assumed, to attain
which he devotes much study not only
of the lines but of the historical orig
inal, if such there be, and of the pe
riod in which he flourished.
Antola is not so well known in
America, having spent most of his
time since his debut, in Spain. There
is scarcely a city or town in the land
of the Dons where he has not sung—
Madrid, Barcelona, Cadiz—many oth
ers. For eight years he was the most
popular baritone in the country. He
made his debut in Pavia, Italy, in
1913, after which he sung steadily
throughout Europe, appearing in the
leading cities of Portugal, Italy, Spain
and Bohemia, even singing in Africa.
He created numerous roles and sung
in many premieres. In Portugal,
where he attained great success as
Tonio, in “I’Pagliacci,” his perform
ance is said to have been so realistic
that he was constantly greeted on the
streets by children, and even grown
persons who had witnessed the opera,
with, “Hello, Tonio.”
Since reaching America a few
weeks ago he has scored marked suc
cess in the role of Henry Ashton in
“Lu«ia di Lammermoor;” Escamillo in
“Carmen” and in the title role of
Verdi’s famous work, “Rigoletto.”
When discovered V Impresario Gallo
he was singing the opera “Marina” a£
Buenos Ayres. Signor Angelo will
appear Wednesday night, February 4
at the Colonial theater in “Lucia di
Lammermoor.” Seat sale for this en
gagement opens on v Monday at Pal
mer’s. No seats put aside for this
attraction. j
••Little Lost Sister.”
An early attraction to be seen at
the Colonial theater will be Virginia
Brooks’ play, “Little Lost Sister.” It
is the intention of Miss Brooks to
have this appear in every .city and
town in America during this and next
season. It is a play that .every moth
er and every girl should see.
The Smart Set.
Coming to the Colonial on an early
date is Salem Tutt Whitney in a two-
pet musical comedy, “The Wrong Mr.
President.” The gallery and balcony
will be reserved for colored people on
this date.
Honey Boy Minstrels.
George Evans and his Honey Boy
Minstrels will be the attraction at the
Colonial in the near future.
For this, the sixth season of this
popular organization, the little min
strel star promises a production far
superior to any he has vet offered.
The opening scene, or “First Part”,
as it is called, shows several trans
formations before the full setting is
revealed. Evans has happily chosen a
title for this portion of the new pro
gram from one of his- past successes
and calls it “The Good Old Summer
Time.” The curtaip rises on a pic
ture of “Summer Time ityJapan” with
suitable music and surprises fitting
the subject, then follows a change to
“Summer Timaiin Hawaii,” with the
musical chara<^ristics of that clime
in evidence, the scene dissolves then
into the full stage picture of "Sum
mer Time in Dixie,” with the big com
pany scattered about the terraced lawn
of an old Southern mansion. The scene
is said to be a beautiful example of
the scenic art and has been created by
Unitt and Wickes, scenic artists of
Daniel Frohman’s New York Lyceum
theater. The costume embellishment
of this picture is entirely new and is
said to be rich and beautiful.
“A Modern Eve” Soon.
“A Modern Eve,” a musical comedy
full of snap, ginger, catchy music anA
songs that you will leave the theater
whistling, and a score of pretty girls
will be the attraction at the Colonial
theater on a very early date.
Coming Soon.
“Macaria,” Augusta J. Evans* im
mortal story whifh is to*be seen at
the Colonial theater on an early data
is a play of the old days with a beau
tiful story of love, heroism, and, de
votion. Minions have read the book,
millions will see the play.

event is a delightful close to this gay
week of festivities.

(By Associated Press.)
London, January 31.—There is talk
of appeal from the verdict of man
slaughter found by the lierary jury
which recently tried John Jasper for
the murder of Edwin Drood. The
more serious-minded members of the
Dickens Society who expected a care
ful weighing of evidence with the
hope of ending the controversy over
Dickens’ unfinished novel in Jasper
and Drood were the chief characters
are disgruntled because the trial de
veloped into such a farce, “ana suen
a dull farce at that.”
There were many who did not ap
preciate the humor which G. K. Ches
terton, as judge, and George Bernard
Shaw, as foreman of the jury, tried
to inject,' and the convicted defend
ant, whose part was taken seriously
by F. T. Harry, asserts that there are
ample grounds for an appeal if for
no other season than that the verdict
was solely the decision of Foreman
Shaw “arrived at during the luncheon

the end of the trial, is the foreman
himself admitted. Moat of the jurors
had left before the trial ended.
Walter Crotch, one of the counsel
for the defense, is even more severe
with Shaw. He declares that the ver
dict was “typically Shavian and there
fore typically farcial and unsatisfac
tory. It also had the more flagrant
defect of being absolutely untrue, for
the jurors were not consulted as to
its terms.” w

Still Willie hesitated.
“Barque!,* repeated the teacher
this time sharply.
Willie looked as though he had
not heard aright. Then, with an ap
prehensive glance around the class, he
shouted;
“Bow-wow!”—Detriot free prc§3.
