The trouble with the locust is that he rattles right through dinner from
clams to the check and eats the check. Then he goes out and eats his hat

Well Chosen Casts Does Full
Justice to Verdi Opera;
Title Role Taken by
Elizabeth Amsden. .
"Aida" was the opera presented
by the San Carlo Opera company at
the Boyd theater Thursday evening.
This majestic Verdi opera, with its
mystic and oriental music, presents
anqther side of this operatic genius,
and a very different type of music
and spectacle than is found in
"Rigoletro," which was played Wed-
nesday evening. y
Ihe audience was tair, but not as
lc.rge as it should have been, con
sidering the high standards of the
San Carlo company and the moder
ate prices. A little familiarity" with
these masterpieces will not hurt the
most aesthetic music lover, and it
also will save him the necessity of
keeping his head buried in the
libretto between the acts when he
goes to see opera elsewhere. Be
sides, if Omaha does not thoroughly
patronize such opera as is pro
duced by the San Carlo company,
which plays long seasons in New
York each year to packed houses,
can we -expect any other operatic
managers to risk the expense of
bringing companies here?
Interest Sustained.
Meantime the season of opera con
tinues to be constantly interesting,
and it is more than fascinating to
hear the artists - in different roles,
and to see the various operas side by
side as the engagements progresses.
The tragedy of the Ethiopian
slave Aida, the' handsome captain of
the guard who loves her and the
jealous Egyptian princess is well
known, as is also the fact that this
is the opera written by Verdi for the
khedive of Egypt fo commemorate
the opening of the Sue canal.
"Aida" was given with, a well
chosen cast. Klizaheth A-hisdpn in
Kthe title role scored a distinct tri
umph with her brilliant voice and
artistic singing,, as did also, Salazar,
whose fine tenor voice was heard to
advantage in the part of Radames.
His "Celeste Aida" received most
enthusiastic appreciation. Stella De
mette appeared as Amneris with
great dramatic skill, and other mem
bers of the cast maintained the high
standard of the production.
Chorus Has Star Part. -
Aida" Is the opera in which the
chorus has a star part and the
antiphonal- chants of the priestesses
and priests, with Pietro di Biasi as
the high priest, were presented with
telling effect.
Among the other musical numbers
especially notable were the duet be
tween Aida and Amonasro (Antola),
the love duets of Aida and Radames,
ahd the solo of, the Kirfg of Egypt in
the first act, and the anguish of
Amneris as she hears the fate of the
man she loves.
Throughout the score the harp
has an important part, and . Signor
Merola with his orchestra main
tained well-balanced tempos and ef
fectively achieved highly dramatic
climaxes.

DENVER BISHOP
MAKES PLEA FOR
MORE TOLERANCE
Methodist Leader Tells of
Part Backward Nations
Played in the- War;
Ends "Y" Conference.
Pleading quietly but firmly for
greater tolerance and more liberal
and progressive thinking, Bishop
F. J. McConnell of Denver closed,
the Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A.
Readjustment conference. Bishop
McConnell spoke at 8 o'clock Thurs
day evening at the Y. W. C. A. au
ditorium before an audience com
posed of about 500 people. His sub
ject was "Reconstruction of the
World's Ideals."
He stated that Americans were
prone to disregard the part played
by the so-called backward nations in
winning the war. India had con
tributed 1,000,000 fighting men to the.
cause of the allies. Chinaman, ne
gro, Hindu ard Japanese alike had
made the winning of the war pos
sible. "We cannot pride ourselves
for bringing victory to the allies,"
stated the prominent clergyman.
"We took; our rightful place only
when the scales of war were so even
ly balanced that but very little
weight was needed to turn them in
our favor." 11
He urged a policy of moderation
and compromise in our dealings with
Mexico. It is only Mexico's ex
ploiters who agitate for an invasion
of that country, according to Bishop
McConnell.
A comprehensive post-war recon
struction program was adopted by
the conference, which was the most
successful, of the eight conferences
held in the middle western states up
16 date. To allay the general unrest
and dissatisfaction existing in tWs
country and to forestall any out
break the conference adopted reso
lutions for civic economic, relig
ious, recreational and social im
provement. ,
