The Springer Opera House in Columbus, a richly restored
Victorian structure, is Georgia’s State Theatre for the current
season. (PRN)

We
COLUMBUS (PRN) - The
Springer Opera House,
Columbus’ elegant century-old
theatre, can boast the best of
them of the stars that have
shone on its capacious stage.
Oscar Wilde lectured here in
1882. William Jennings Bryan
arrived in 1900, Franklin
Delano Roosevelt in 1928.
Over the years came Edwin
Booth, Mme. Modjeska,
Geraldine Farrar, Fritz
Kreisler, Victor Herbert, Sir
Harry Lauder, Marie Dressier,
John Philip Sousa, Will
Rogers.
Founded in 1871 and
named Georgia’s State Theatre
for the current season, the
durable Springer, now an
exciting example of restored
Victoriana, is entering its
second hundred years as a
home for the performing arts.
The Springer and its
company have been one of the
State’s leading attractions
since restoration of the theatre
was completed in 1965. While
the building was used as a
movie house for a number of
years and was closed in 1957,
it was rescued and completely
renovated due to the efforts of
dynamic Columbus citizens
who spearheaded a
community effort.
In what have been called
the cultural “golden years” of
Columbus prior to the Civil
War, Columbus residents were
enthusiastic attenders of

operas, plays, minstrels,
visiting river showboats, the
circus, and lectures which
came regularly to the city.
Local first-nighters began to
feel the need for a cultural
center, and in 1869, plans for
a sumptuous showcase began
in earnest. The site chosen was
the busy but convenient
corner occupied by F.J.
Springer’s store. The total cost
for construction of the Opera
House came to $40,000.
The many-splendered
Springer had a seating capacity
of 1,250, two balconies, nine
boxes on either side of the
stage with a chandelier over
each, a full stock of scenery,
an orchestra, a marble-floored
lobby, frescoed walls and
“odd paper.”
Historical records show that
on February 21, 1871, 600
people assembled for the
opening performance -a
“grand amateur concert by the
ladies and gentlemen of
Trinity Church.”
Today’s Springer Opera
House, at Tenth Street and
First Avenue, is a rich
red-and-gold recreation of a
colorful period of Columbus’
past.
The Department of
Industry and Trade, Tourist
Division, believes both history
and theatre buffs would enjoy
attending a theatrical
performance at this historic
attraction.

A CHINESE PUZZLE: PEKING AND POPULATION
A lot of tea nas gone over
the dam since the famous
‘Believe It Or Not” cartoon
showing there are so many
Chinese in the world they
could go marching on forever.
Communist China’s popula
tion continues to grow, how
ever, so that even today
Peking is still alarmed.
Many of China’s ancient
customs may be falling under
Communism. But the old
taboo against a man’s
speaking affectionately to a
woman in public still stands,
and a kiss—even if the lady
were your wife—might attract
interest by the police. For
after all, who knows where
such a thing might lead? Not
even the wise Confucius.
In his day, the Chinese
believed that pregnancy could
be prevented by such strange
methods as swallowing live
tadpoles, mercury or
quicksilver.
Modern China is well aware
of more scientific contracep
tives like the birth control
pill. In fact, telling Chinese
women about the blessings of
this way to prevent preg
nancy is one of the main
duties of the so-called “bare
foot doctors,” first-aid assist
ants who travel through
China’s countryside and bring
simple health care to millions
of peasants who never, ever
see a real doctor.
There’s an old chestnut
that for a woman to be

China’s barefoot medical
aides are trying to make
women happy by keeping
them un-pregnant, but the
Communists are not satisfied
with the results so far. The
free pills are used by many
women in the big cities, but
by relatively few in the
smaller towns, which may be
why dictator Mao-Tse-tung
has ordered the health
ministry to “Put stress on the

Thrilling Historic Ride
You can leave the world’s
oldest existing town in one of
the very newest ways if you
take a nine-minute gondola
ride that’s remembered as an
exciting highlight of the trip
by visitors to the Middle East.
Along the way, you get a
magnificent view of Jounieh
Bay, where history has it that
the whale put Jonah ashore.
The town is Byblos in
Lebanon. On the road from
that ancient community to
Beirut is the gondola station,
where another gondola comes
along every 30 seconds.
The memory of riding
from there to the top of
Mount Lebanon is said to last
for more th^n 30 years.
