The other two numbers will be the titillating Overture to “Mlgnon," by Thomas, and Tschaikowsky's stirring Overture 1811, both of which are mod erately familiar. Second, France# Nash. She has done great things since she last ap peared publicly In Omaha some years ago, as soloist with the Minneapolis Symphony orchestra. Then she was at the beginning of her career as a pianist. Now, If she haa not yet reached her zenith, she 1s nearing It. She has been acclaimed In this coun try, in Europe and In South Amer ica as a truly great artist. She will play Liszt’s Hungarian Fantasia, demanding all tMat the ar tist can give of brilliance, sympathy and orchestra. Third, Engelbert Roenlgen. Be sides being gueat conductor, he will be heard In a concert for 'cello and orchestra. Omaha Is familiar with his powers as a conductor, but It has been a year now since he was heard hare as a 'cellolst, though he Is equal ly capable In that field.

Weil, try this: “What does "The Marriage of B’igaro” mean? That’s easier, isn't it? There, in a nutshell, is the theory behind the movement for opera in English, which lias been growing steadily for many years; sometimes growing feebler. It Is true, but grow ing, anyway. The theory la that the English language is as good a lan guage as Italian, and that It means more to English-speaking people. Anyway, It Is “The Marriage of B’igaro” rather than “Re Nozze dl Figaro,” which will he presented at the Brandeis theater Friday evening by Walter Wade Hlnshaw’s opera comlque company. That Is to say, the opera will be given In English. • Tt will still be, at bottom, "Re Nozze dt Figaro,” retaining all the sparkle of Beaumarchais’ comedy and Da Ponte's libretto, with, of course, Mozart's music. Omaha will enjoy It, for say what you like, Omaha la not an opera cen ter and even the feeblest efforts at opera are something to look forward to. But the company which will appear here Friday night Is far from feeble, and more sated cities have found it highly capable. It Includes such singers as Clytls Hine and Editlia Fleischer, Pavel Ludikar and Alfredo Valenti, and It will have Its own chamber orchestra, directed by Er nest Knoeh. Four of the leading singers of the Boston Grand Opera company, which Is devoted exclusively to the produc tion of grand opera in English, are appearing this week at the Rialto theater in a program of songs and opera arias in English. This appearance is highly Interest lng, both because of the capability of the artists and the fact that they are leaders in a movement which has been growing in force for many years, for the Anglicizing of opera. The four artists of the company are Miss Hazel Eden, prlma donna soprano; Miss Grace Bischoff, prlma donna contralto; William Mitchell, leading tenor,, and Virgil Bryan. Miss Eden's lyric soprano has been praised for its sparkling quality and beauty of tone, combined with excel lent phrasing. Miss Bischoff s con tralto voice is noted for its cultured excellence and Its smooth flexibility. Mr. Mitchell, besides being the leading tenor of the Boston Grand Opera company, is a member of the Century Opera company of New York. He iw a former Texan, with a voice of sweetness and great range.
