MAGIC WHEEL
DELIGHTFUL OPERA
The urpheuni last night was trans
formed into an entrancing fairy spot
In tfie woods. Already feeling the
spell of th* witch, and looking back at
Ihe audience, we imagined a large hill
aside thronged with happy people, and
then we turned and saw the stage as a
fairy glen in a fertile valley: and lo!
magically there appeared a bevy of
comely maidens, forming a wheel, and
dancing the "Joy of Spring." The
hillside smiled approval.
Peasants, lacemakers. goat herders
and many others came upon the scene
to pay their tribute to Spring. It was
indeed a charming scene. The hillside
clapped its hands for joy.
Purposely the story of the Magic
"Wheel is omitted here, because every
body should go and learn It for them
selves. It is a stunning production.
The opera is built on folklore and
fairy themes. The music Is tuneful,
catchy and very appropriate to the
text. The characters are exceedingly
well chosen and are a decided credit
to Harrisburg. And the chorus—ho*'
many in it? Bless you. 1 don't know;
we didn't count that far when I went
to school. The costumes! I can't find
the word. Go sec them. Seriously,
"The Magic Wheel" last night was a
distinct and tremendous succ ess. The
performance went with good snap and
sparkle. And oh! to see the youth,
life and vigor represented.
It afforded many happy moments.
Of course a witch was needed to sup
ply the magic. Crossing a Scotch moor
after dark and entering a turnpike
that ran right through a graveyard;
whistling with might and main to keep
up our courage, and scare the witches
away, were thrilling moments. Our
belief in witches was very real. The
witch last night, we suspect, was In
league with the good fairies. Miss
Middaugh as the witch carried her
part well. She sang in excellent style
and her acting was highly commend
able. Her make-up was true to tra
dition. and she gave genuine pleasure.
Miss Catharine Helcher as the
Duchess of Hinterland, the schemer,
supposedly in league with the witch,
acted her part with considerable skill
and force. Her singing of the part
was of a high order and much enjoyed.
Miss Alice LeCompte as Lady Carlotta
was very capable Indeed and acted her
part with considerable understanding
of the character required. She was
well received also in her singing of I
"A Wish is a Bubble." She was I
cleverly made up in this scene.
Miss Carrie Reily as the Widow
Schumacher—pardon me, the shy
Widow Schumacher—made a stunning
looking widow, so the burgomeister Is
forgiven. The duet between the two
was well sung and the burgomeister's
acting seemed to please the audience.
Miss Reily sings with much charm and
grace and gave considerable help
vocally throughout the opera.
Mr. Hart man as the burgomeister
was well made up. He made a jolly,
good-natured official and sang with
most excellent style and voice. Jerome
Hamilton and Louis Munnel as Prince
Fritz and his groom afforded both
amusement and pleasure with tlvsir in
cidental bits. Mr. Hamilton showed
experience in stagecraft and deserves
much commendation for his singing
anil acting, which added considerably
to the success of the opera. He was
very effective in the duets with Lady
Frieda. Mr. Munnel as the groom did
bis part well and gave the opera those
touches of comedy which delighted the
audience.
It would have been more to our
liking if the Duke of Hinterland
(George Sutton) had appeared more
frequently in the opera. The baritone
was not allotted a big part, but what
there was Mr. Sutton did with a grace
and dignity that Impressed. He sang
the sword song in ringing style and
assisted in a well-arranged quartet.
And now we must give the Indi
vidual honors of the evening to Lady
Frieda (Mrs. Roy G. Cox), who
charmed with her grace and comeli
ness. She acted her part with dis
tinction and rare appeal. Her voice
and style in this role made her sing
ing very enjoyable. She has a winsome
presence and considerable musical
temperament. She was greatly en
joyed and liberally applauded.
Among the musical numbers finding
Ilie most favor were "Spring," "Girls."
"Blatfk Magic," "Good Luck," "Dear
Old Moon." "I'm the Witch." "Spin
ning Song." "Something's Happened,"
"Hip, Hip. Hooray," "When My Dreams
Come True," "Win a Wife," "The
Beauty Mirror," "An' I Were a Maid,"
"A Wish is a Bubble," "Pray Thee,
Pretty Maiden," "The Same Old Way."
"Graft," "Stolen Fruit." "Sword Song,"
"The Bird Songs" and "The Cuckoo
Duet."
Space will not permit all that could
be said in favor of the performance,
but the bird songs must be mentioned,
also some other splendid features.
Miss C. Wynne Cassel was delightful
ns Queen of the Bird Kinder, and also
Miss Getha High as canary soloist.
Miss Elizabeth Ross as bluebird soloist
was as pretty as a picture and sang
with charm and assurance. Miss Cath
arine Dubbs as the parrot leader was
a distinct and pleasant surprise. He*
acting and singing was a delight and
received spontaneous applause.
The cuckoo duet by Miss Ross and
James McCutcheon was very clever,
both these young people showing act
ing and singing ability above the aver
age. Mention should also be made of
th£ six graceful little dancing ladles
that appeared during the bird songs;
and the gavotte, quaint, charming and
proper: and the rope dance, with Miss
Dorothy Cox and Jean Davis doing an
especially charming dancing figure;
and the sprites, the elves, the witches,
the star nymphs, the wood nymphs,
the'ladies, the lords, the dwarfs, toy
venders, and hosts of others that kept
us interested and entertained from the
rise of the curtain.
Mrs. Lake has cause to be very tired
—but happy. Work well done is al
ways a rich reward, and heartiest con
gratulations are hereby extended to
her.
The opera Is pure In thought and
action. It is happy in its employment
of youth. Harrisburg is well blessed
with handsome girls and boys, and it
was good to see them engaged in so
worthy an opera for so worthy a cause.
Attractive young ladies in striking
costume vended excellent candy at a
very reasonable figure. There was a
big demand for the libretto, which Is
a complete guide and souvenir.
The Sunshine ladles—where are
their equal?—have seen another big
undertaking carried to success. The
writer urges everyone who possibly
< an to go to this most attractive mu
sical entertainment. There are still
some good available seats.
JOHN W. PHILLIPS.
P. S.—There was one dismal failure.
An actor, over which even the witch
had no control, was the donkey. He
refused to go on. Not sufficient re
hearsal and a slight nervousness in his
hind feet were the reasons given.

given to developments in connection
with Greece. The Allies, for their
part, have made a new move in mak
ing a landing on the Karaburun
Peninsula, near the head of the Gulf
of Salonlki, ocupying the Greek fort
there. Tlie move seems to have been
dictated by strategic reasons, it being
considered undesirable by the entente
forces to have the position in other
hands than their own.
As to Greeec herself, a dispatch
from Teutonic sources carries the
intimation that King Constantine and
his close advisers fear she may be
dragged into the war eventually
through the Influence of former
premier Venizelos, with the Greek
people, the Idea of a revolutionary
movement of a grave character not
being absent from the niinds of the
ruler and his political and military
aids.
Contemplate Advance
Coincidentally there are revived re
ports that a speedy advance on
Saloniki is contemplated by the Teu
tonic allies and that Turkish forces,
notably the Gallipoli army, are mov
ing to positions where they will be
ready to participate in the attack.
Although it is reported from Athens
that the Italians have determined to
abandon Durazzo on the Albanian
coast, owing to the difficulties present
ed to its defense against the Aus
t.rians, there are reports from South
ern Albania more favorable to the
allies. Rome has advices that Essad
Pasha, leader of Albanian troops fav
orable to the entente has effected a
junction with the Italian forces.
Positions at Avolana and in other
sections of Southern Albania are be
ing fortified in the expectation that
the measures taken will be effective
in checking the Austrians.

Flood waters and high winds did
much damage in various parts of the
State. The oil districts In particular
have suffered severely, hundreds of
derricks being toppled over.
20 to 51 Below
The storm struck the northwestern
States heavily, Oregon, Washington,
Idaho and Montana reporting cold
and snow. Montana last night shiv
ered in what was termed the worst
storm in twenty years, with the ther
mometer ranging from twenty to fifty
four degrees below zero. Railway
traffic is demoralized on account of
drifts and snow slides.
Flood conditions prevailed in Ari

the rivers above that point are swell

tained of a repetition of the flood of
last week. Reports from Phoenix said
that the Gila river is rising rapidly.
Moving Eastward
Riverside, Cal., to-day faced a
shortage of drinking water as a re

Durango, Colo., Jan. 29.—Railroad
