Ia Adjudged Fine Success , A Little Theatre Opera company has just finished a week's engagement at the Heckscher . theater, New York, presenting Offenbach's "The Grand Duchess:' on the opening night.

M onth, Health Head Warns With mortality rates, barometer of winter health conditions, duplicating almost exactly their behavior of this season last year, Dr. Andy Hall, state health director, expressed here today the fear that a return wave of influenza is in the making. Case reports of pneumonia which have jumped from 225 to - 350 per week within a month suggest the same possibility. The tendency of influenza to travel in waves of thirty-three week periods make another epidemic due in Illinois toward the end of February. "A sharp rise in the death r4te at this . time of year, especially if it in cludes a significant increase in deaths from pneumonia, suggests the possibility of influenza," said Dr. Hall. "Case reports of _influenza are worthless as a measure of its prevalence because so many similar types of illness take refuge under the elastic amplitude of that name. Excessive pneumonia, however, nearly always means excessive 'nfluenza and case reports of pneumonia in Illinoi s have 'jumped from 225 to 350 per week within a month. "Mortality in the United States at large took a sharp upward trend the · first week in December and since that date has followed almost exactly the course o.f the rate last year, lagging somewhat behind in point of time. This is exactly what might be expected in the event of a return wave of influenza. "Influenza nearly always travels in waves separated by a period of thirtythree-w~eks or multi1>les of thirtythree weeks. A sixty-six week period we :lid make the peak of a return wave due in Illinois this winter toward the end of February. The behavior of the general mortality rate, the marked increase in prevalence and mortality from pneumonia, and the wide distribution of respiratory infections just now are signs bearing all the earmarks of the forerunner of influenza in epidemic form. .
