The observance of Memorial Day in

Old Jupiter Pluvius belongs to a past

haughty deity. The manner in which he
gapened his storm vat and poured rain,

indicate that he has never even heard
of Memorial Day.
But the parade and other features were
»not abandoned and the graves of the
departed heroes did not go without dec

iG. A. R., and the Women's Relieg corps,
together with the young veteran^ of the
iSpanish-American war, saw to it that
their earthly resting places were bedeck

neither Marco or Guiseppe are the king.
She says that when they came to steal
the baby king she substituted her own
baby and kept the king and that he is
none other than Luiz the attendant of
the duke. So Casilda and Luiz are
happy; so are the two gondoliers and
their brides.
The time the affair occurred was in
1750 and an interval of three months is
supposed to elapse between the first and
second acts. The opera like all of Gil
bert and Sullivan's compositions Is full
of comedy and of pretty, light melodies.
The costumes worn are very handsome,
the Venetian garb of 1750, mostly peas
ants and gondoliers, with magnificent
costumes worn by the grandees.
The graceful dances, the ballet and the
Spanish dance, which will be danced by
children trained by Miss Clara Corbin
will add much to the opera- The pretty
children go through the Intricate figures
with the composure of veterans and evi
dence the careful training they have had.
