wooing again but this time it is one of a sensual nature His sinister motives arc not understood by the frightened and in nocent Katusha until too late As a conscience offering he leaves her a hundred rouble note and rejoins his regiment It is years before he again sees his people and the ever chang ing conditions his career soon blot' out recollections' of Katusha Ten years later after his retire

five years the company has come up smil ing every season No other theatrical enterprise has been in existence so long none has achieved so many suc cesses In another way is the Bos career marked by

for thirteen years and on next Thursday night at the Detroit opera house it will be sung for the 2333d time No other opera by Ameri can authorshas this record is perhaps the only American made legitimate comic opera that is entitled to rank side by side with the brilliant earlier work of Gil bert and Sullivan in In the respect of encouraging Am erican made opera Me ss Barnabee and MacDonald
