icus lodge and M. B. Council lodge will

All visiting Masons will also gather

about thre hundred members to the

that fully one hundred members of
other lodges will be in attendance.
After donning the regalia the Ma
sons will form on Lee street and will
march .out that street to Taylor and !
along Taylor to Rees park. Here
seats will have been erected for their

AMERICUS. GEORGIA. WEDNESDAY MORNING APRIL 6. 1910
AMERICUS WILL BE AT
THE GRAND OPERA.
Parties Forming to Spend
Week in Atlanta.
Probably Fifty to Enjoy
Atlanta’s Great Fes
tival of Music.
The music lovers of Americus are
looking forward with delight to the
approaching grand opera season in
Atlanta. Twenty-two season tickets
have already been bought for parties
living here, and judging from the con
stant discussion in musical circles this
number will be greatly increased be
fore the close of the month. In addi
tion numerous parties are arranging
to run up to the capital for one or two
days. Judging from the present
outlook, Americus will have a dele
gation at the opera of between forty
and fifty, while from various other
towns in the Americus district others
will go, making the largest represen
tation this section of Georgia has ever
had at any musical event in the south.
Miss Anna May Bell has been un
ceasing in her efforts to promote an
interest in the coming great event.
Miss Bell will attend all of the operas,
accompanied by h'er mother, Mrs. W.
K. Bell, and the following from among
her pupils: Misses Ethel McMath,
Sailie Johnson, Floyd Johnson, Helen
Argo, Corinne Sills, Mary Hawkes. It
is probable that others of Miss Bell’s
school will join the party, either for
the entire season or for one or two
of the operas.
High School Graduates All Going.
Miss Bell’s party has .arranged for
accommodations at the Aragon for the
! week of the opera. Accompanying
! them, and with rooms also secured
1 in advance at the same hotel, will be
Miss Lillie Brown and the graduating
class of the high school, embracing
seven young ladies and three boys, os
follows: Misses Neva Carter, Carroll
Clark, Margaret Hodges, Mildred Hollis,
Lucille Jossey, Louise Power, Lou se
Williford, and Masters Wesley Lester,
Lee Webb and Harry Williams. This
trip to Atlanta is complimentary to
the graduates and takes the place of
the old-fashioned graduation enter
tainment.
Miss Margaret Buchanan will also
be accompanied by two or three, per
haps more, of her pupils.
Others who have arranged to take in
the operas are Mrs. Edward Mathis,
Miss Rebecca Mathis, Miss Virginia
Gunn, Mrs. Niles, Miss Florence Niles,
Mr. and Mrs. Crawford Wheatley, Mr.
and Mrs. W. H. C. Dudley, Jr., Mrs.
Dudley, Sr., Mr. Macon Dudley, Miss
Elizabeth Harrold. Miss Berry and sis
ter of Bronwood will join Miss Bell’s
party. Other out-of-town folks are
also expected to acocmpany the Ameri
cus contingent.
Never in the history of the state has
there been as great an interest
aroused in a purely artistic matter as
in this season of grand opera in At
lanta. Reports indicate that from all
parts of Georgia, and especially from
the soutirwest section, music lovers
will pour into that city for this mem
orable occasion. The operas will be
presented at the great auditorium on
May 2,4, 6 and 7. The entire Metro
politan Opera Company is embraced
n the cast.
The Six Operas Presented.
The season must necessarily be a
limited one, owing to the succeeding
season at Paris, and will consist of
five performances, as follows:
Monday, May 2nd (evening), “Lo.
hengrin.”
•Wednesday, May 4th) (matinee,
“Tosca.”
Wednesday, May 4th (evening),
“Aida.”
Friday, May 6th (evening), “Madame
Butterfly.”
Saturday, May 7th (evening), double
bill, “Haensel und Gretel” and “Pa
gliacci.” ,
In presenting their varied repertory
management (Mr. Giulio Gatti-Casazza,
manager, and Mr. Andreas
Dippel, administrative manager) will
draw upon the entire resources of the
Metropolitan Opera Company. What
these resources are may not be de
scribed within the limited compass of
this article. Suffice it to say that they
exceed those of any other operatic
organization in the entire world, em
bracing nearly one hundred soloists,
one hundred and fifty musicians of the
very highest class and a chorus num
bering two hundred and fifty.
It may not be amiss to state that
the Metropolitan Opera Company is
operated by its directorate, through it 3
management, without a thought of
commercialism, its single purpose be
ing to advance the standard of art.
Attention, Shriners and Friends!
See me before making arrangements
for your trip to New Orleans. I have
something very special to offer.

Sun Bros. Show Was Good
Throughout.
Sun Bros, Show made the first ap
pearance en tour of the spring season
in Americus yesterday and, despite the
delay of several hours in arrival from
Macon, gave two highly creditable per
formances, afternoon and night.
And Americus has never enjoyed a
cleaner, brighter and better show, or
one presenting such a number of high
class features —easily the equal of any
given under canvas.
Fresh from winter quarters, the
show is spick and span clean and new
in every department.
While a one-ring circus, the pro
gram is given in thre sections of the
big tent, and three fine features are
thus presented simultaneously. The
aerial and trapeze work is especially
fine, eliciting generous applause.
The feats of the four Cevennes, a
company of high wire wonders, are
as fine as ever presented by any cir
cus, and clever throughout.
The riding feats were exceptionally
good, as, in fact, are every part of
the long program.
Aside from the many fine attractions
thus presented the show is wholly
free of any objectionable feature.
Men of highest integrity are at the
head of it, and there is no grafting.
Everything is high-grade and first
class.
The show and its management can
not be too highly commended, and
deserve> all the success that will at
tend this tour.

NUMBER 79
ELEPIIANIS ON A TEAR
DELAYED 1 HE CIRCUS
Huge Beasts Are Handled
With Derrick.
When a woman "kicks” or a man
protests it means something, of course,
but when a whole herd of elephants
“kick” in a bunch it means trouble for
the circus folks, as was demonstrated
in Macon yesterday in the loading of
Sun Bros, herd of six elephants.
And it was thts that delayed the ar
r val of the show in Amerlcus for
six or eight hours.
The Sun Shows have been winter
ing in Macon and started out yester
day for Americus upon the season's
tour. All went well in the loading
process until it came time to put the
elephants aboard for the trip here.
The docile beasts had not been
aboard thteir cars in six months, and
had forgotten all about the pleasures
of a joy irde in their "Green Line”
autos.
The patriarch of the flock, an old
bull elephant, led the revolt, and
moused the sleepy old town of Ma
con with his trumpeting. Finally he
was hemmed up in a corner and the
hoisting derrick of a Central Railway
wrecking train was looked to his
tough hide.
This strung up, the huge "kicker ’
was Lfted bodily aboard the car,
whereupon the other kickers marched
meekly aboard without any further
protest.
