The opera contains more tuneful music of a high order than almost any to be heard on the professional stage today, and the de- mands upon the individual singer's ability are very exacting. As has been previously announced e music is taken from Sir Arthur Sullivan's famous operas. "Pinafore," "Patience," "Pirates of Penzance," "The Mikado," and "Ruddigore" need no introduction to lovers of good musical comedy, and in the field of light opera these compositions have never been surpassed. The book, the scenes of which are laid in southern California and Mex- ico, is written with the intent, not to follow the stereotyped lines of musi- cal farces, but the consistent develop- ment of an interesting story told in music and dialogue. Unlike most musical comedies of late, which can scarcely be said to be burdened with a plot, the story of Casilda develops naturally and each musical number plays its own especial part In the scheme. Three Performance*. The opera will be presented at the Country club Thursday and' Friday evenings, Dec. 6 and 6, and Saturday matinee, Dec. 7. Mrs. J. O. Houston to be the piano accompanist. Mrs. Higgs is" training the Mexican dancers, which means that the danc- ing will be a very attractive feature of the performance.

Dur- ing his pastorate the membership has almost doubled and all previously ex- isting spirit of division has diseap- peared. The people of the church felt that if they were to do the work that ought to be done for themselves, their children and their neighbors they must have better quarters. They have shown their earnestness and their spirit of self-sacrifice by the fact that they have already collected something over $3,500. This la a very consider- able sum to collect among themselves and they earnestly hope that the citi- zens of Evanston will help them with at least an equal amount. They have demonstrated their fitness and their sincerity, and are doing a work that makes for good living and good citi- zenship among the colored people of Evanston. We owe it to our colored citizens to help them in every earnest effort that they are making for their improvement and advancement. Rev. Mr. Thomas and the officers of the Second Baptist church axe worthy of all the help that can be extended to them. j. m. Stiller. Rev. Thomas announced Saturday that $600 has already been sub- scribed since the start of the cam- paign, the majority of the subscrip- tions coming from among their own people.
