MARGERY MAXWELL
GRAND OPERA STAR
Was Principal With Galli-Curci in
“Dinorah.”
SINGS AT CHAUTAUQUA HERE
As Member of Chicago Grand Opera
Company Scored Successes in Chi
cago, New York and
Boston.
An evening with a grand opera ar
tist has twice before proven a great
attraction on the Redpath Chautauqua
circuit, and now after one season with
out a prima donna, this year’s program
is to have a grand opera star in
Miss Margery Maxwell, the gifted
young soprano who appeared this year
as a principal with Galli-Curci in the
Chicago Grand Opera company in Chi
cago, and who accompanied that organ
ization on its tour to New York and
Boston.
Miss Maxwell will appear on the
third night of the Chautauqua here,
accompanied by two assisting artists,
a violinist and a pianist.
Miss Maxwell made her debut with
the Chicago Opera company this fall
as Una Caprala, in “Dinorah.” This
first appearance was a decided success
and especially noteworthy as she was

MARGERY MAXWELL.
one of the six principals, with Amelita
Galli-Curci and Giacomo Rimini in
the cast. The following day in all Chi
cago papers the critics commended her
work most highly.
During the Chicago opera season
Miss Maxwell sang in “Dinorah" sev
eral times and also in “Manon,” “The
Jewels of the Madonna,” “Lakme,”
“Francesca di Rimini” and “Louise,”
each time delighting the audience with
the unusual beauty and range of her
lyric soprano voice.
Mme. Galli-Curci is most enthusias
tic in her praise of “the (Americalne
Mees) Maxwell’s superb voice.”
At the dose of the Chicago season,
no one was surprised to find Miss Max
well among those chosen for the East
ern tour of the Chicago Grand Opera
company. The recognition given her
in the East was no less than she re
ceiveij in ijer home city. The New York
Morning Telegraph used a large pic
ture of her witij an interesting feature
story the morning after her first ap
pearance and the Evening Mail, in a
Saturday edition, published her photo
graph in a group with Geraldine Far
rar; Ricardo Stracciarl and Gordon
Key.
Miss Maxwell is a pleasing, whole
hearted American girl. All her spare
minutes she spends in knitting and at
present she says one of her great am
bitions is to go to France and sing for
the wounded soldiers.

ADMISSION 11c & 17c —We Hope You Will Not Miss Seeing This Picture
THE LITTLE OLD LADY
OF PANSY SQUARE
Timidly she entered the Red Cross
Bureau and stood just within the door
way.
Her poor, dimmed old eyes spoke so
eloquently: “I’m friendly, ladies, but
a little afraid.”
Several of us rose, but Mrs. Craw
ford reached her first and asked her
to come in and sit down.
“Oh, thank you so much,” quavered
the old lady as she sat down. “You
see, my boy—my grandson—has gone
and”—with Spartan fortitude she re
strained the tears that glistened in her
eyes—“gone with bls regiment. Now
I’m all alone in my little cottage in
Pansy Square. And, oh, ladies, do any
of you know the dreary loneliness
when there Is no one who comes home
at night?”
We almost hugged the dear old lady,
so forlorn, yet so brave. We drew up
our chairs closer, and she told us her
story.
The little old lady owned a vine
embowered cottage In Pansy Square.
There she kept house for her grand
son, who worked in a downtown office.
When America took up cudgels for de
mocracy the lad, in patriotic fervor,
was among the first to enlist.
“Ah, how 1 loved him and needed
him!” whispered the old lady broken
ly. “But my dear country needed him
more. So 1 told him to go. ’But
what will you do. granny?’ he asked.
I told him I had enough, and so he
went. Brave, brave heart 1 My hus
band was a soldier, and I have his
pension. But it is small. After pay
ing the taxes on my cottage there was
little left, and now it is gone. I'm old,
but I'm willing. All I ask is a chance
to earn my bread till—till he returns.”
Through the Home Service workers
of her community the little old lady
of Pansy Square has been provided
with simple tasks, such as making pre
serves and delicious cakes and jellies,
a labor of love for her and an unfail
ing source of revenue.
Nome day, please God, her soldier
boy will come back to the little old
I lady of Pansy Square, and he will find
| her as lie left her—happy, comfortable
' and self reliant,

Little Mary’s Suggestion.
Her father took Mary out for a walk
one day In the country. They passed
a pasture where some bulls were in
closed. The bulls were bellowing, and
Mary’s father attempted an imitation
■ of it, to the great amusement of Mary,
who finally said, after many encores
had been rendered for her benefit,
“Daddy, wouldn’t it be a good joke if
we were to hide behind a tree, and
when people came, by you would undo
your voice and frighten them."
Only Temporary.
A man whose married life had tot
been of the happiest lay dying. Call
ing his wife to his bedside, he prom
ised to leave all his worldly posses
sions to her on one condition, that be
ing that she would erect a tombstone
and inscribe on it, “At rest.” This she
faithfully promised, but, finding noth
ing had been left her, she added to the
above epitaph, “Till I come.”
Appropriate Name.
It Is entirely proper that the
world's most southern city, located in
forthest Tierra del Fuego, In latitude
65, should bear a name sounding as
much like winter wind as Ushuala.
There is also an appropriate sugges
tion of wailing in the word, and the
penal settlement of Argentina Is lo
cated there.
