ATLANTA OPENS
GREAT FESTIVAL
OFGRAND OPERA
ATLANTA, April 22.—Atlanta is
alive with musical fervor. Its annual
festival of grand opera started, be
i, nn'ng last night in a blaze of glory.
It sounds Atlanta-like to say so, but
it is true nevertheless —the greatest
vc cal musicians of the general Ten, and
the greatest musical organization of
fljj. or any other previjus day in
Ahier ca, the Metropolitan Grand
Opera Company, is "in our midst,”
and will spend a week.
This week is going to be judging of
the plans under way a week of unpre
cedented musical enjoyment and of so
cial entertainment. The hotels are
filled and Atlanta's streets are swarm
ing with music lovers from the four
corners of the south, and many from
distant points in the north, east and
west. Os course, the big majority of
Atlanta folk who are nothing if not
hospitable, are devoting themeslves to
the entertinment of the visitors, and
business might as well go hanged.
The opera last night was Verdi’s
“The Force of Destiny,” and it proved
to be a “big opening.” It introduced
Caruso, Miss Ponselle, DeLuca, Mar
dones, Chalmers, d’Angelo and the bal
let. The bill this afternoon is Gou
nod’s “Faust” which presented Alda,
cast, with the ballet. It was learned
for the first time here yesterday that
Miss Rosina Galli, the premier dan
seuse, had signed a contract to make
motion pictures and will start her
screen career when she leaves At
lanta.
Geraldine Farrar, leading soprano
of the Metropolitan, Is not with the
company here this year, b:.t she is
featured in a motion picture at a local
theater and a big bunch of the opera
si-a.fs the theater. Caruso, who
has been Iff motion pictures for some
time, is g xegufytf movie fan, and in
company with his bride, has been go
ing the rounds since he fag? been in
Atlanta. While grand opera, is draw
ing its usual big patronage, the pic
ture shows are overrun. It is a Ques
tion which enjoys himself the most,
the fellow who goes to the singing
show or the movie, But lots of folks
are doing both in Atlanta this week.
Old-Time Georgia Sign.
At one time cotton men in Macon
thought that the presence of a man
with a hand organ and monkey on the
streets of that city had a direct bear
ing on the cotton market, causing a
decline in price. At one time the or
gan man was prohibited by municipal
law, but later was admitted on pay
ment of a substantial license. —Tifton
Gazette.
Editorial Weakness.
Man, even in his highest state of in
tellectual development, has his little
human weaknesses and we notice that
as soon as an editor manages by hook
or crook to save up enough to get an
automobile, ringing editorials begin to
crop out in the paper pretty frequently
fearlessly demanding better roads for
the farmers. —Ohio State Journal.
Korean Woman Status.
In Korea women occupy a place in
society which has no parallel else
where in the Orient. They are both
better and worse off than in China or
India or Japan—better off because
there are more fields open to them,
worse because they are overworked,
often ill-treated, and until recently
were actually enslaved.
