LADIES CHORUS FULL
OF HARMONY
BEAUTIFUL MUSIC WELL PRO
DUCED BY THE WOMEN IN
THE “MIKADO.”
In writing the music for the
"Mikado” Sir Arthur Sullivan gave
more opportunity for the women’s
voices than in many of his operas,
which usually are essentially for
men
The "Three Little Maids” are
well known and popular characters
whenever operatic music is heard
and no three ladies could better
suit the part than Mrs- Collins, as
Yum Yum. Mrs- Warder, as Pitti
Sing and Miss Ruth Hall as Peep
Bo.
Mrs- Warder has taken part in
the Mikado before so was somewhat
familiar with the opera and is bet
ter able to interpret role of Petti
Sing than most amateurs It is
really a difficult part to do well,
and Mrs- Warder is meeting all re
quirements. The part of Peep Bo
has but little singing in it, and
those who heard Miss Hall in
Queen Esther and her other solo
work in Ketchikan will wish there
was more for her in this opera
Mrs. Collins is making an ex- i
cellent “Yum Yum” and the music
of the “Three Little Maids” will be
enjoyed by every lover of harmony
They are well supported by a fine
chorus of over twenty ladies and the
costuming of the entire aggregation
is most pleasing and harmonious in
its color scheme.
Reserve your seats early for the
performance on Monday and Tues
day evenings.
ATTENTION BALL PLAYERS
If the rain keeps up there will
be no ball game tonight, but if it
clears up be sure and be there at
6:15 sharp.
PROF. GEORGESON’S
SPLENDID LECTURE
EIGHTEEN YEARS IN ALASK \
IN CHARGE OF AGRlv.JL.
TURAL WORK.
Prof. C. C. Georgeson gave an
intensely interesting lecture on Cue
possibilities of agriculture in Ai is
ka, illustrated by steroptiean s'i es.
a hundred or more, which he’aed
greatly in making We audience ical
iie the wonderful results achieved
at the different experimental sta
tions throughout Alaska and by the.
individual market gardne' r.nd
farmers all over the territc.
Prof. Georgeson. who previ, ■ to
his coming north was for years ro
fessor of the Agricultural Co ege
of Kansas, is a man of rema’-’table
learning in the science of his pro
fession, and one who speaks most
convincingly and without exaggera
tion- He unconsciously impresses
his listeners with the fact that there
can be no task too difficult or in
tricate to balk him in obtaining sat
isfactory results, and that he has
unlimited patience as well. These
no doubt are the factors which have
made him so successful in his work.
Prof. Georgeson gave an outline
of his work done since its inception
in Alaska, when in 1898 he was
first placed in charge of the experi
mental work of agriculture in the
territory. During the eighteen years
of h;J continuous residence he has
accomplished marvels in his obser
vation and experimental work, which
have at last brought him recognition
and a more liberal appropriation
from Washington with which to
further his progress in agriculture,
the benefit of which is inestimable
to all Alaskans. Indeed the lecture
was the very best ever given on
Alaska and was greatly appreciated
by the audience
The professor, accompanied by
■Mrs Georgeson, is now on his way
to tlse state of Washington to pur
chase a heard of cattle for the
Kodiak station. After a short stay
in the states they .plan to return
to their home at Sitka which is a
charming place situated on Castle
Island in the Sitka harbor.
