A new bungalow is being built on the 
Kimball estate, Smith’s Point, Man- 
chester for Mr. and Mrs. Walter H. 
Harris of Salem. A. M. Killam of 
Manchester is the contractor. The 
building is located off Proctor street, 
but a short distance from the road, 
with a circular drive leading past the 
front entrance. As one comes up the 
main drive, and enters upon the long 
spacious piazza he finds a beautifully 
constructed door, through which one 
passes into the main reception hall. 
The hall is very large and contains a 
large fire place of faced red brick. 
Leading from this is the living room 
with its alcoves and spacious windows. 
Off from the living room through an 
open hallway, one finds himself in a 
good sized dining room with plenty of 
light and closet space. From this the 
kitchen, pantry and back closets are 
to be found with set-tubs and trays of 
soapstone in a most accessible place. 
Leaving the lower floor one can 
reach the second floor by going up a 
back stairway or by a large open stair- 
way leading from the front reception 
hall. On this floor are to be found 
three large sleeping rooms. Each 
room has three or more mediums sized 
closets. 
The servants part has a separate 
bath room as has the owner’s section 
of the house. 
The finish throughout the house is 
of North Carolina pine, and is of the 
old Colonial style with the raised 
headers and low plinth blocks. The 
floors are of maple. The exterior of 
the house is of grey shingles and the 
roof is broken by three large dormers 
with a large overhanging roof on the 
rear making the back kitchen and pan- 
try. The house will be ready for oc- 
cupancy in a few weeks as the work 
. (ue interior ts about completed.

Operations were started this week 
upon the building of a large addition 
to the summer residence of Allen Cur-

Boston carpenter, in connection with 
Connolly Bros., is doing the work.

Boston Opera House. 
The principal happening of the 
week at the Boston Opera House will 
be the first performance this season 
of “Pelleas et Melisande,” set down 
for Wednesday evening, Jan. 8th. 
This fascinating work by Claude De- 
bussy, the most modern of modern- 
ists in Operatic composition, created a 
profound impression last year, not 
alone through its musical and dramatic 
values, but also because of the rarely 
beautiful series of pictures which 
formed the background for the narra- 
tive. 
The production, designed in the 
first place by Mr. Urban, will under- 
go no change and the cast will be 
largely the original one, with a single 
notable exception—Mme. Louise 
Edvina will be the Melisande. 
Another French opera, but this time 
an old favorite, —“*Carmen’— will 
have its first hearing on Saturday 
night. Although as usual the prices 
will be on the popular scale, the title 
role will be assumed by Mme. Gay, 
the most famous Carmen of the day 
and a much more than competent co- 
terie of artists will assist her. 
That on Monday evening, Mme. 
Tetrazzini will sing in opera in Bos- 
ton for the last time this season will 
be a matter of regret to the many who 
find her the supreme joy of opera. 
“Traviata” will be the bill and as Vio- 
letta, Mme. Tetrazzini again will en- 
trance her hearers with delight as she 
did on Christmas night. In Giovanni 
Zenatello as Alfredo, there will be a 
tenor of an eminence equal to that of 
the prima donna and Mr. Polese will 
sing the greatful music written for the 
ungrateful part of the father. The 
orchestra will be under Mr. Moran- 
zoni, 
The fourth subscription perform- 
ance of “Louise” will be sung on Fri- 
day night, with the cast of Saturday 
afternoon,—that of the premiere, with 
the exception of a new Julien in the . 
person of Mr. Zenatello, instead of 
Mr. Clement. 
On Saturday afternoon, “La Bo- 
heme” which has been one of the 
season’s most popular offerings, will 
be given what is likely to be its last 
presentation.
