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 (Photo Copyright by Malzene, Chicago.) 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.

Alcazar Theatre = THURSDAY Beautiful ELSIE FERGUSON in “Rose oi the World” 6 ACTS 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, I • Administrator’s Sale. j By virtue of an older of the Ordinary of Bibb county, Ga., passed at May term, 1918,1 will sell before the court house door of Sumter county, Ga , be tween the legal hcurs of sale on the first Tuesday in June, 1918, the follow ing described real estate belonging to , tlie estate of Mrs. Kate F.

CALLAWAY, Administrator, Estate of Mrs. Kats P. i Callaway, Deceased. 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.
