Grand Opera company, which opened an en- gagement of four daysigt the Metro. politan theatre Monday night. Not only does this opera require }eingers of unumual ability, but they must be finished actors an well. It would be hard to find another group of artists who could equal those of Monday night. Miss Angeles Ottein, coloratura soprano, made a delightful Rosind, Her appearance here marks her American debut and from the ova- tion accorded her there ts little doubt she scored a tremendous Shé has’ remarkable voloe of superd “quality and pheflomenal range, taking high E with little diff. culty, She sinew with” (ie utmost ease and confidence, and her entire Performance was one of a finished of Pattt and Totrazsini has such a voice as Miss Ottetn’s been heard here, She will ‘sing again Wednesdayas Lucia in “Lucia Di Lammermoor.” Charles Hackett made a charming Count of Almaviva. He has a pleas Ing tenor voice, Altho at first it was '\Star Writer Sees. O Yesterday afternoon, at the Metro politan theatre, Scott! and the cnst of “Tosca” had a general and thoro re- bearsal. Men in business clothes, both dark and light, straw hats, soft hats and) derbies; women in all kinds of street | attire and furs could be seen, | Half the scenery was up, and) where it did not meet in the back of the stage, people hurried back and | forth in order to be in thelr places when the cue came for them to go! on. Not much Ike the finished pro duction, with beautiful gowns and} wottings, that was to be presented) Tuesday night Alice Gentle, Myrtle Schaaf, Scotti, Joseph Hislop, Louis d’Angelo, Carlo} Marine, George Parker and Paolo | Ananian all were there, And, by the | , way, Ananian is an Armenian, and the onty one who has ever attained any success in grand opera Scott! takes great pains at all times to see that every little detail is just right, making suggestions to the different ones that will give the augience the best effect. No matter what the rehearsal may be, he ts always present, and where Gifferent phases are not done to sat- iaty him, they must be repeated. The orchestra was under the lead- lle” somewhat husky he soon overcame that. His is not a voice of great volume, but one of excellent quality | and pleasing character. Tuccardo Stracelart, as Figaro, was superb, He has one of the few! voices that posses all the qualities | ‘ that make of him a” great singer and artist. His tones are rich and mel low and of a fine timbre. His Impersonation of the merry barber and matchmaker was indeed a treat. Paolo Ananian, as Dr. Bor tolo, was an excellent character, even tho singing more or leas of a minor part he gave it an excellent inter. pretation, Italo Pigeht, as Baastlio, was also a decided muccens. Others in the cant were: Louis d’Angelo as Flor. ello, Henrietta Wakefield as Berta and Giordano Paltrinieri as an of fielal. NIIRE COMPANY ARTISTS OF RANK The entire company are artists of the first rank and the‘ performance given Monday night was the height of musical art and could not be sur panned This evening “Tosci#”’ ts to be given, Seattle's own prima donna, Alice Gentle, will appear as Floria | Tonca, with Antonio Beotti in his famous role of the Baron Searpia. Joseph Tistop, the talented Beotch tenor, will be heard as Mario Cavar adonal, s %* * the Rough ership of Gennaro Papl. It was thought impossible to rehearse al! the operas here, so Scott! suggested omitting “Tosca.” Pap) absolutely refused, saying: “It must be done if it takes all night” He is very exacting and Wilt not al-| \low any mistake, no matter’ how/ small, to go by. An incident ts told of him that one night, when conduct- ing the orchestra for “Carmen,” the | wrong cue wan given; the curtain was | lowered ten bars too noon, The chord in the orchestra being the same as/ the closing one, Papi dropped bis; baton, put up both hands and «aid to the orchestra, “Play ten,” Which) mage the ending such that no one no- toed the mistake, When Gentle and Scott! stepped on the stage Monday, it was the first ime that Scott! had ever heard Gen- tle even rehearse the role of Tosca, and from all appearances he was freatly pleased. From thelr rehear. sal, the finished “Tosca,” which was echeduled for Tuesday night, will rival any ever heard here. It is only by conscientious work by al} the members of the company and by Scottl, who acts as ite genera) manager and regiaseur, besides play- Ing several of his famoys roles, that the Scott! Grand Opera company has scored such a tremendous success. TIS A MOVING TALE Transfer Men Te ll Their Troubles HOT STOVES COMMON course in the care of and canary birds. > I've come to thie conclusion since hearing the snd tales of a few Seattle transfer men whose chief duty it ts to chaperon any- thing from mahogany pianos to six-months-old infants about the elty streets, “Not, of course,” as R. F. Lester of the Union Transfer company stated yesterday, “not, of course, that the children go \3 * fe ee Look out for Colds } Don't lose the of your vacation phaend gahoohueerd weather by contracting @ cold. Sneezing, throat and Qose irritations, are not very troublesome if you always keep Luden's LUDENS mentho ie aj, transfer men should take a corre ony ren Thebiel d bit he kode Mes any of us to play ntreé a couple of hours a day.” “Mind’it?” he was asked. “No.” Lester replied, “don't mind babies nearly so much as the parrots and canary birds that get excited on the trip and lose their tail feathers. Somehow, we always get the lame for lost tall feathers.” “Of particular Interest,” Lester declared, “are some of the pack- ages and crates we are asked to deliver, labeled, ‘Glass — handle | with care’ Frequently they gurgle—and of course we don't know what's In them, but they certainly do sound interesting.” eee ‘OW J. A. Walker, manager of the Reliable Transfer Co,, figures that family clocks, heir looms, and ladies who lean tragically over the banisters and squeal, “Oh —Oh — Oh — don't scratch the legs on my baby grand,” are the worst pests to be found in the transfer business, “Family clocks and heirlooms,” Walker remarked, “are generally supposed to be treated like soap bubbles, and more time is spent in making them comfortable in the truck than in handling all the rest of the furniture put to- gether. “Now the most interesting mo- ment in all transfer work,” Walker continued, becoming en- thusiastic, “is that momentgwhen two transfer trucks arrive before the same house, one ordered by ma, and other by pa, neither side of the family knowing the work of the other, Generally an argu- ment follows, especially if pa and ma both happen to be on the premises, It usually depends on who's head of the house which company ts finally decided upon to do the work.” According to Walker, people on the whole are “pretty fine,” even if they do frequently wish their offspring onto the driver for an hour's care, and occasionally oversieep on moving day, for getting they ordered a truck for “sharp nine” to take everything away. N the opinion of A. C, Carlson of the Yukon Transfer Co., hot stoves to be moved rank among the tragic phases of the transfer business, “Yes,” he said, “somebody called up about three days ago and wanted a stove moyed Imme- diately. When we arrived the thing hadn't been disconnected, the water in the boiler was boil ing, and the stove itself was a | You ean easily learn to dance at hd ad 1604 4th, cor, PineyrAdv, \ — — SSR id) EN - 5 SS = en Brighten Homes BEVERY young couple starting out |p with has visions of joyful hours” nt before the fires pag he cd children; but, alas, how often young women who children are denied that happiness because of some functional derangement which may be corrected by proper treatment.

Think what this world would be without confidence that the sun would rise tomorrow! Without confidence in the order of things, in our fellow men, in our insti- tutions, chaos would reign in the world. There would be no security, no progress, no happiness. Confidence is essential to all that is worth while. Years of satisfactory experience with Red Crown gasoline have given the motoring public confidence in “Red Crown.” They know that with “Red Crown” in the tank they have high-quality motor fuel,and that from it their engine will deliver its maxi- mum power and mileage. “Red Crown” is available at Stand- ard Oil Service Stations, garages, and at other dealers.
