NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
Boston OprsRA House 
For the final week at the Boston 
Opera House, beginning next Mon- 
day, March 24, Director Henry Rus- 
sell has prepared one of the most at- 
tractive repertories of the season. 
Not only will the most successful of 
the novelties be repeated for the last 
time, but also will come a bevy of 
operatic stars of the first magnitude, 
—artists who cannot fail to lend bril- 
liancy and eclat to the concluding 
week of the season of 1912-13. 
On Monday Flotow’s “Martha” 
will be given its first subscription 
performance and for the occasion the 
entire seating capacity of the balcon- 
ies has been taken by different local 
lodges of the Knights of Columbus. 
Therefore the only seats available to 
the general public will be those un- 
subscribed for on the orchestra floor. 
As announced last week, the opera will 
be sung in English with Alice Nielsen 
as Lady Harriet. ‘Martha” will be 
repeated at the Saturday matinee, 
with precisely the same cast. 
On Wednesday evening Mme. Lil- 
lian Nordica, always a favorite with 
Boston audiences will make her sole 
appearance for the season as Isolde, 
in Wagner’s immortal music drama 
“Tristan und Isolde.” 
Offenbach’s “Tales of Hoffman,” 
which served to so brilliantly open the 
season, will be sung again on Friday 
evening with an all-star cast. 
On Saturday night the season will 
be brought to a triumphant finale, 
when “The Jewels of the Madonna” 
will be sung. Although the cast will 
be exactly that which has appeared 
at subscription performances, popular 
prices will prevail all over the house. 
This tuneful, colorful music drama 
has made the name of Wolf-Ferrari 
a household word in Boston _ this 
spring and it holds the records for 
the season for receipts as well as for 
number of performances, the coming 
one being the seventh. Mr. Zenatello, 
Mme. Melis, Mme. Gay, Mme. Al- 
ciatore and Mr. Blanchart will posi- 
tively appear at this closing perform- 
ance. 
Pat, who was left-handed, was be- 
ing sworn in as a witness in the West 
Side Court of Denver, Col. “Hold up 
your right hand,” said the judge. Up 
went Pat’s left hand. “Hold up your 
right hand,” commanded the judge, 
sternly. ‘Sure and I am, yer honor,” 
declared Pat. ‘Me right hand’s on me 
left-hand side.” — Woman’s Home

The man who flatters himself that 
he leaves little to be desired should 
remember that a burglar does the 
same thing.

“MADAME X” AT SALEM 
This is the fifth week of the perma- 
nent engagement of the Lonergan 
players at the Empire theatre, Salem, 
and a most successful engagement it 
has been. This is as it should be, as 
Mr. Lonergan has a very capable 
company and gives productions similar 
to the high-priced companies, of New 
York successes, at moderate prices. 
The play for this week is “Madame X,” 
by Alexandre Bisson, a noted French 
author, and was for several seasons 
given in the leading cities for long 
runs by the Henry W. Savage com- 
panies. 
The sale of seats for this week is 
most encouraging to the management. 
Several large theatre parties have al- 
ready secured blocks of seats and 
there is a brisk demand among the 
regulars that has helped greatly to 
clean the Empire theatre ticket racks 
for every afternoon and evening dur- 
ing the week. As long as Mr. Loner- 
gan holds his company to their pres- 
ent speed there will be no lack of at- 
tendance at the Empire. Theatre- 
goers like good plays well acted and 
are willing to pay for them when the 
opportunity is offered.

of suspicion than an unabridged dic- 
tionary.
