Frederick H. Prince received a cable Tuesday con- 
veying the intelligence that his son, Norman, had been 
captured by the Germans during the recent activity on 
the western battlefront. The cable carried no details of 
the capture. Last February young Prince offered his 
services as an aviator to the French government and he 
was accepted and assigned to a post of duty. He and 
two other American aviators were stationed for training 
at Brouges with big Voisin machines with 130-horse- 
power motors. He featured prominently in the recent 
great drive of the Allies on the western front. It was 
during one of these air maneuvers that carried him into 
the air territory of the enemy that he was captured by 
the Germans. 
Another of the Saturday night dances will be held 
at the Essex County club, Manchester, tomorrow night.

Mme. X. in the Chicago Tribune states that the re- 
cent week of performances by the Boston Grand Opera 
troupe was a delight for the genuine lover of opera. And 
adds: “Why, by the way, were no representatives of 
the Chicago Grand Opera company on hand to bid in the 
beautiful scenery and other properties of the Boston com- 
pany when it was sold at public auction? For $11,000 
Rabinoff acquired an operatic equipment, opera rights, 
etc., worth fifteen or twenty times that sum. Never be- 
fore was there on the Auditorum stage such exquisite 
‘mises en scenes’ as adorned the old and new operas 
presented by Rabinoff’s company. We ought to have had 
them as a part of our permanent operatic properties. 
They were the product of a condition that does not ob- 
tain here—a combination of highest artistic ability, prodi- 
gality, and lavishly generous support. Aiming to be io 
the Boston Opera company what Col. Henry L. Higgin- 
son is to the Boston Symphony orchestra, the senior part- 
ner of Jordan & Marsh of Boston, backed Henry Russell, 
the impresario, in sumptuous undertakings until the form- 
er’s purse grew lean. Russell is a great artist in stage 
settings. With the help of Urban and Ordinsky and 
inspired by Reinhart and the Munich school he evolved 
wonderful backgrounds and costume effects. It would 
have taken a Ludwig II. to keep up with his expendi-
