What girl knows what the future
holds for her? What woman is there
who can solve) the great questions of
life correctly? What is the unsolvable
query of centuries, as old as Methu
sala and'as mysterious as the Sphynx?
Why, the "marriage question," of
course. The ultimate aim of a girl
from the moment of maturity is mat
rimony and thus the play, "The Mar
riage Question," which comes to the
Boyd next Sunday, is said to answer
everything one desires to know about
the big, vital question. Rowland and
Howard have given this play a great
scenic production and a splendid cast
of players far above the average
seen in these theaters a cast good
l enough to grace a Broadway produc
tion.

has 1 never received such a
cordial reception as he has been re

his "own show" to the popular Gay

"Pom-Pom," that is to be heard

It is produced by Messrs. Terry, J.

Warren twins, Alma Youlin, "Harry

Lucille Blythe, Mazie Capper and
Belle Court. A large beauty chorus

Joseph Cawthorn, who with Miss
Julia Sanderson is appearing in
"Rambler Rose," at the Empire the
ater, New York, has been making
speeches between the acts, like a lot
of other actors in the metropolitan
heaters, urging the audience to sub
scribe to the Liberty bonds. One day
last week he got a telegram from
Otis Skinner, another Charles Froh
man star now playinsr "Mister "An
tonio" at l'oders' theater, Chicago,
and who atso has been appealing to
his audiences to buy a Liberty bond.
The wire read:
'ChlcsKo, 111., October 22. 1J17. Joseph
Cawthorn Kmplro Tlmator, New York City:

With all details of the San Carlos
Grand Opera company's engagement
at the Auditorium on Monday, Tues
day and Wednesday, December 3, 4
and 5, complete, opera-goers will
await with interest this popular an
nual feast of song. There will be a
genuine interest in hearing Verdi's
three-act opera. "La Traviata," sung
by such a notable artist as Marcella
Craft, who for five seasons sang the
leading roles at the Royal opera,
Munich, and who, since returning
from that fountainhead , of operatic
art, has appeared with all the great
orchestras and anisic festivals 01 the
country. It was no less a personage
than the composer of theopera him-
sen tnat ioki ,au me worm miss
Craft's was the most superb Salome
who ever sang his sensational work.
New York-critics recently wrote in a
similar strain about her Marguerite
and her Violetta when she made four
appearances in Broadway before the
seasoned, experienced opera devotees
of that thoroughfare.
And' now Impresario Oano writes
that Elizabeth Amsden, the sensa
tional soprano from the Chicago
Opera company, is coming to Omaha
with his forces. Miss' Amsden sang
for three seasons leading parts with
the Boston (original) Opera at the
Hub's famous music temple, and then
went to Paris, where she sang first
roles with the Paris Grand Opera. Re
turning she re-engaged at Boston, and
made frequent trips to appear as
"guest" artist with the Chicago-Philadelphia
organization in the Quaker
City, as well as to the Canadian
metropolis to appear with the Mont
real Opera. Miss Amsden scored
high with the Chicago organization
last season in such characters as
Santuzza in' "Cavalleria." Aida and
Leonora in "Trovatore," and in flic
operas "Manon," "Erodiade" and
"Jewels of the Madonna," the latter
scheduled for presentation by the San
Carloans in Omaha for the first time,
and iu which the soprano will be
heard at the' Auditorium. t Miss Ams
den will also appear as Gioconda, one
of htr most successful impersonations,
on the opening night of, the local en
gagement. v
Other newcohiers announced by
Impresario Gallo are Mons. Joseph
Royer, new French baritone; Marta
Mells,. a rich-voiced contralto, whose
last appearances abroad were at the
famous -Tcatro San Carlo, Naples;
Signor Girolamo Iugar, Italian tenor;
Frances Morosini, niczzo, and Signor
Davide Silva, baritone. Among the
artists who in past San Carlo engage
ments have sung their way into local
musical hearts and who, it is an
nounced, will return with the organi
