ther, Mr. Ludikar the Hans Sachs,

On Wednesday evening, ‘‘Don 
Giovanni,’’ which had to be post- 
poned last week, will come to its 
first performance under the baton 
of Felix Weingartner, who directed 
its revival last year. The cast will 
be as at the season’s first perform-

and with Mme. Weingartner in the 
role of Aida. 
*‘Lakme’’ will be given for the 
first time in three years, at popular 
prices on Saturday evening. This 
Delibes opera was _ particularly 
popular during the first two seasons 
of the Boston Opera Company, but 
since the close of the second season 
has fallen in abeyance. Now, how- 
ever, it has been revived, and will 
be set upon the stage with an excel- 
lent cast, including Evelyn Scotney 
as Lakme.

ready run through three editions 
and that five thousand copies have 
been ordered for the present edition, 
bears eloquent testimony to the in- 
terest now being taken in New Eng- 
land ‘and especially Massachusetts 
apple growing. 
The present publication contains 
230 pages and 51 illustrations, and 
the articles aim to cover in a com- 
prehensive way the whole field of 
applegrowing from the planting of 
the nursery trees to the marketing 
of the product, 
The table of contents will show 
how thoroughly this is done. The 
contributors are men well known in 
Massachusetts horticultural circles, 
most of them being connected with 
the Massachusetts Agricultural Col- 
lege or Experiment Station, or with 
the United States Department of 
Agriculture. It is eminently fitting 
that George A. Drew of Greenwich, 
Connecticut, whose name at once 
suggests orchard renovation, and 
who has probably done more by his 
work at Conyers Manor to adver- 
tise this phase of New England ap- 
ple growing than any other one 
man, contributes the first article, a 
very interesting discussion of ‘‘The 
Advantages of New England as a 
Fruit Growing Center.’’ 
This bulletin will be mailed free 
of charge upon application to the
