THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN ~® 3 © 4 Clean Newspaper for Southern dlomes .© ° ® . WEDNESDAY. APRIL 23. 1919,
Thursday Afternoon’s Opera
“Martha’’
Opera in four acts,
By Friedrich Don Flotow,
THE CHARACTERS.
Lady Henrietta, maid of honor, so
prano.
Nancy, her friend, contralto.
Sir Tristan, a courtier, basso.
Plunkett, wealthy farmer, basso,
Lionel, his foster-brother, tenor.
Sheriff, basso.
Servants, farmers, hunters and
pages.
‘¢ ARTHA” by Friedrich von
M Flotow, was another fa
vorite of our grandfathers,
land the only work which survived
its composer. It has been sung by
great artists and by amateurs in the
world's capitals and in town halls,
Its airs are played on évery hand or
gan, and its overture may be heard
in any movie theater.
The opera gives almost equal op
portunity to four leading singers—
soprano, tenor, mezzo-soprano and
baritone—and, imsleed, the four are
singing together almost entirely
through the second act. No other
work so abounds in melodious quartet
numbers, and_ there are solos and
duets fairly treading upon one anoth
er's heels. The chorus, too, is used to
excellent effect.
“Martha” presents the rather odd
combination of being composed by a
German, sung In Italfan, its charae
ters knglish, and its audience Ameri
can., It ig one of the few operas, by
the way,” which have Reen sung in
English with complete success.
The scene opens in the boudoir of
Lady Henrietta, afterward Martha
(soprano). She is growing weary
of a dull court life, and her maid,
Nanecy (mezzo), guesses that love is
the missing requisite. They ging the
duet, “Ah, Those Tears,” and Sir
Tristan (buffo-basso), Henrietta's
cousin and a gay old dog, enters. The
two women tease him unmercifully.
Behind the scenes is heard the cho
rus of servant maids on their way to
the Richmond Fair, and Henrjetta in
sists on dressing as a peasant and
joining them. Nancy joyfully agrees,
and even old Tristan is persuaded to
don a farmer's garb and accompany
them.
The second scene shows the falr,
where every year the farmers come
to choose their servants. The law
requires that one who has accepted
a cash payment is bound for a year.
The scene is a gay one, with a cho
rus of farmers and servants and mar
ket folk.
Lionel (temor) and Plunkett (bari
tone), two young farmers in search
of housemaids, enter. Lionel is an
orphan and Plunkett’'s foster-broth
er. On his deathbed Lionel’'s father
had given Plunkett a ring, which,
when trouble should appear, must be
given to the Queen. The two sing
the duet, frequently used in religious
music, “Lost, Proscribed, a Friend
less Pilgrim,” descriptive of Lionel's
lristory and his discontent with his
present lot. The Sheriff begins the
auction of servants, and the farmers
bid them in. There are swinging
choruses here for men's and women's
voices, and the scene is a brilliantly
fcturesque one. |
pLa.fly Henrietta, Naney and Sir
Tristan, in their servants’ attire, now
enter and look about them curiously.
The two farmers"take immediate
fancy to them. Tristan is frightened
away by a swarm of girls who insist
‘that he hire to them, and the mas
querading pair take advantage of his
absence to open a flirtation with the
young farmers. Plunkett timidly
opens negotiations for their services,
and before they realize the extent of
their prank they have accepted the
earnest money and are bound fu{nthe
year. The act ends in a quartet and
chorus, and as the curtain descends
Lionel and Plunkett lift their new
servants into a farm cart and drive
Away with the{n.
The second act introduces but the
four prineipals, who have a surpris
ing series of quartets. It is the in
terior of the farmhouse, and the
brothers are trying hard to explain
to their rrighter'\id maid servants
their new and urfccustomed duties
The opening number is the quartet,
“This Is Your Future Dwelling,” end
ing in a remarkably beautiful passage,
Lady Henrietta says her name is
Martha, and Nancy chooses “Betsy”
for her masquerade. There is an
other quartet, “I Am Surprised, As
tounded,” in which the masters ex
press thelr astonishment at their
servants’ unwillingness to work, and
then the lesson in spinning is begun.
This introduces the famous “Spin
ming Wheel” quartet, in which the
music closely imitates in rhythm the
sound of the whirring wheel. It is
an air that sticks in one's memory.
Naney, rebellious, upsets her wheel
and runs away, leaving Lionel and
Martha,
It is here that the most famous
aria of the opera is heard. Lionel
asks Martha to sing -for him. She
takes from her bosom a flower and
sings “The Last Rose of Summer.”
This gem of the opera is not Flotow's,
but an old Irish air, to which words
were set by the poet, Tom Moore. The
Italian words in the opera follow
rather closely the poem of the Irish
‘bard. When this aria has closed

' Naney and Plunkett return and the
“‘lhmdnu;hl" quartet is sung. The
two girls prepare to retire, when Sir
Tristan appears at the window. They
slip away with’ him and return to
their castle,
The third aet opens upon a park
in the forest. The Queen is hunting,
and the young farmers have come to
watch the hunt. Plunkett sings the
stirring drinking song in praise of
English ale The stageful of vil
lagers join In the chorus, and Nancy
and her companions, in hunting cos
tume, enter, Nancy signs her aria,
“My Heart Knows Not,” and Plunk
ett, recognizing her, reproaches her
for running away. He i 8 about to
seize her when the hunting girls sur
round her, and the scene s inter
rupted by the entrance of Lionel,
half mad from grief. He sings a bit
of Martha's air, and then begins the
tenor number which is sung on every
concert stage, “Like a Dream,” or as
it is better known, “Ah, So Fair; Ah,
So Bright.”
Sir Tristan and Henrietta enter,
and Lionel, recognizing his lost love,
accosts her. She cruelly pretend: not
to know him, and there fallow a de
nunciation by Plunkett and a pa
thetic air by Lionel. The latter draws
the ring from his finger and asks
that it be given to the Queen, whose
approach is announced by trumpets.
The scene ends in a magnificent
finale, a bit of concerted music which
has few rivals.
The fourth act reveals the farm
house again, with Plunkett singing
his fine aria, “Oh, My Unhappy
Lionel” This scene and its aria fre
quently are omitted or the action
transferréed to the closing scene. In
this it is discovered that Lionel is
really the Earl of Derby. He still is
brooding over his lost love, and Lady
Henrietta, relenting, causes to be re
constructed the scene at the Rich
mond Fair, The farmers and servants
are reassembled, and Henrietta and
Nancy, once more in their servants’
garb appear. Lionel is led in by the
faithful Plunkett, and when he sees
his Martha in the familiar costume
his mind becomes clear again, and
they are clasped in each other’s arms.
Nancy, of course, has accepted Plunk
ett before this, and it is to be pre
sumed that they all live together for
ever after,

Druggist Says Ladies Are Using
Recipe of Sage Tea and
. Sulphur, |
— p—
Hair that loses its color and luster,
or when it fades, turns gray, dull
and lifeless, is caused by a lack of
sulphur in the hair. Our grandmoth
er made up a mixture of Sage-Tea
and Sulphur te keep her locks dark
and beautiful, and thousands of
women and mmen who, value that
even color, that beautiful, dark shade
of hair which is so attractive, use
only this old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous
mixture improved by the addition of
other ingredients by asking at any
drug store for a bottle of “Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound,”
which darkens the hair so natural
ly, so evenly, that nobody can pos
sibly tell it has been applied. You
just dampen a sponge or soft brush
with it and draw this through your
hair, taking one small strand at a
time. By morning the gray hair
disappears; but what delights the
ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sul
phur Compound is that, besides
beautifully darkening the hair after
a few applications, it \also brings
back the gloss and luster and gives
it an appearance of abundance.—

PARIS, April 23.—The French Govern
ment has appealed to Italy to furnish
1,000,000 workmen, mostly laborers, to
assist in rebullding Northern France, it
was learned' §day. Italy replied that
she wag disposed to grant the request,
but at the same time desired assur
ances that France would not object to
the bullding of Italian chools for the
children in the workmen's families. The
French Government has not yet con
sented and the negotiations have been
temporarily suspended.
In the meantoime Italy is preparing
for a gigantic immigration movement,
which Is welcomed at Rome, as it will
ease the economic situation and lighten
the burden on the labor market, Nat
urally the Tltalian Government is #nx
iously watching any tendency to revise
the immigration laws in the United
States.
But regardléss of any actlon that may
be taken by the American Congress It
is believed there will be enough work
in the devastated regions of Europe to
care for all of the Italians who wish
to leave home. France and Belgium
could take care of 2,000,000, it is
thought
So far 700,000 Italian troops haye been
demobilized and there are still 3,000,000
with the colors. A large number will be
retained in the service until land and
sea transportation facilities get better,

you would be one of the richest men in America, for when Eli Whitney invented
the gin he revolutionized the Cotton industry.
You would have started at the beginning—and the men who have made the
largest profits in nearly all industries are those who started at the beginning.
There is seldom an opportunity for the investor of moderate means after
a business has grown large and profitable. The men who put their brains and
senergy into building it up are not likely to share with a newcomer. It is too late
for him to enter. ,
We are offering the public now an opportunity to become partners in a
. young industry, though not an untried one. Itshould grow and prosper aslong
as cotton is raised in the South. :
The Lanham Cotton Cultivator Company is marketing a machine which
will do the work of eight to ten men in the cotton field. It is a practical cotton
chopper-cultivator, which “bars off,” chops out the cotton, “dirts up,” cleans out ’
the middle of the rows—all in one operation. Tt is simple and practical. It has
proved its worth through actual work in the field. It is not an experiment. It .
is also a complete all-the-year-round cultivator for cotton or any other crops.
Labor, growing scarcer and higher in price every year, is the great expense
' in cotton-raising. There is less profit in 30-cent cotton today than in 10-cent
cotton years ago. The farmer will eagerly welcome a ntachine which will save
labor, and the Lanham cotton chopper cultivator saves it in an enormous pro
portion.
Five thousand of these machines are now being built for us by the Murray
Company, noted manufacturers of cotton gin and oil machinery. They will be
sold this year. We expect to sell 25,000 next year, and three times that num
ber the following year. ~The South needs 400,000 of them.
We want to build our own manufacturing plant, to make our own machines.
This will require capital. We must buy our materials in large quantities to
obtain the lowest prices. This will require still more capital.
The investor is now offered the common stock of the Lanham Cotton Culti
vator Company at an attractive price. There is no preferred stock. All share
holders are on an equal footing. ;
We promise no huge profits at the start. We do not expect to make 'you or
ourselves rich overnight. We do not invite speculation in this stock. It is not
a get-rich-quick scheme.
But we know that our machine is practical. We know there is a tremen
dous demand for such a machine, and we know that we can sell it at a reasona
ble price and make a good profit. We confidently believe that the man who in
vests in it now will realize a handsome return, which will increase each year as
the machine becomes better known and in greater demand.
