Pullen, Carpe in the Chestnut Street Auditorium. The company is good, well-balanced and thoroughly schooled in the tradi tional singing and acting of opera. Tsar System Eliminated The management frowns on the idea , of any particular star being exploit- j ed. The star system is eliminated, I with the result that every perfoorm- j ance has evenness and artistic balance 1 not found always in the companies holding the larger share of public at tention. The San Carlo Company, on this basis, has had remarkable suc cess. The organization is four years old, entirely self-supporting, and win ning public favor fast. It appears in Pittsburgh this week, opening with Verdi's Akla. Many people are coming to Harris burg from neighboring towns to hear the attractive list of operas offered. Tlio businessmen should take advan- 1 tage of it. Displays in all shop win- ! dows should be made especially at-; tractive. An article well displayed will make a sale. Newspaper advertis ing will help. A Western tailor got re-; suits with this in the local paper. You cannot attend the opera in that shabby suit. Come in and get measured for a new one. This merely suggests the possibili ties and advantages coincident with ' every big musical event. Trade in gloves, cloaks, gowns, hats, I shoes, automobile and carriage hire, after opera suppers, etc., receives more or less stimulus. High class music is ' good business. Bow rates have been made for, school students at the matinee per- ' formance of Gounod's Faust. This is good. The school room of to-day will furnish the musical audiences of to- 1 morrow. The stories of the four operas to be sung may be found in Harrisburg's useful and excellent public library. The operas will be sung in Italian. By knowing the story the listener will get both the plot and the music. By not knowing the story the listener may get the music, but not the meaning of it—or the action. Opera appeals as much to the eye as to the ear. The San Carlo Company is giving Harrisburg a different cast of princi pals for each opera, so that the full company will be heard. An excellent orchestra under the direction of Gui seppi Angelini—who was director for Mclba in her world tour —will furnish accompaniments for chorus and prin- i cipals.

Save Waste Paper and Rags Urges Uncle Sam The Department of Commerce at { Washington, D. C., through local ; Chambers of Commerce, has called upon the people of the United States ; to save waste paper and rags. In a j circular received by the Harrisburg j Chamber of Commerce, attention is j culled to the shortage of raw material , for the manufacture of paper, includ ing rags and old papers and urges the collection and saving of rags and old j papers. The circular says: "Something like 15,000 tons of dif ferent kinds of paper and paper board i at'e manufactured every day in the j United States and a large proportion of this, after It has served its purpose, could bo used over again in some class of paper. A large part of It, [ however, is either burned or other wise wasted. This, of course, has to be replaced by new materials. In the early history of the paper industry, publicity was given to the importance of saving rags. It is of scarcely less importance now. "The Department of Commerce Is glad to bring this matter to the atten- ; tion of the public in the hope that ; practical results may flow from it. A ! little attention to the saving of rags ; and old papers will mean genuine re- j lief to our paper industry and a di minishing drain upon our sources of supply for new materials. A list of | dealers in paper stocks can be ob tained 'from the local Chamber of Commerce or Board of Trade."
