TOYMAKEB" TO PLAY
AT MEDFORD TUESDAY
TheSan Francisco Opera company, an
organization that needs no introduction
to local theatergoers, will present i ue
Tovmaker" ft the Medford opera huus-
Tuesday, December '31. The company
as at present constituted consists of
Aida Hemini, prima donna soprano; Ar
thur Cunningham, baritone; Kugene
Wiener, tenor.; Maude Heatty, contral
to; Daphne Pollard, soubrette; George
Kuukel, William Harris and Frank Her
trand, comedians. Al Wilder, -a -producer
who has earned a most splendid repu
tation in New York and elsewhere, com
ing direct to the San Francisco Opera
company ffom "The Karl and the
Girl" company, is the stage director
for the San Francisco Opera company, j
Kdouard von Huechner, who held down i
the conductor's chair at the Tivoli
opera house for some four years, is the
musical director. In addition to the
oeonlc mentioned above, there are such
clever utility people as Lillian Ray
mond, Fred Snook, "Gene" Ormonde,
Charles Browning and Dion McFadden.
The chorus is composed of beauties who

their work.
The Tovmaker" is a dainty, danc
ing, delightful comic opera, the story
of which concerns Johannus Guggen
heimer of Nurnberg, n maker of won-
lerful dolls, and his daughter Lisa,
who in order to marry the man she
iovps is compelled, to imitate an auto
maton. The book of " 1 he 'loymaker
filled to the brim and overflowing
with good, wholesome humor, nnd the
music is of the ear-tickling kind that
sticks to one's memory. Some of the
numbers that are particularly adapted
to the whistlers' art are "Wo Are
Workmen," "With Careless Eye," "I
an Dance," "I Love Vou Very Dear
ly," " A Strange Girl," "A Jovial
Monk Am I," "A Poor Little Dummy
Am 1."
The numbers that are most likely to
lease those so fortunate as to possess
i musical education, are "If Like to
Tlee," "Will He Coino Buck?" "Hark
Mow the- Hell Is Ringing ' and "S-
Timid and Modest Am I." "The Toy-
tiaker " has a most beautiful produc
ioii, every prop, piece of scenery and
lectrieal effect being carried ly the
ornp.-inv. The finale of the first act.
bowing the wonderful workshop of the
maker with its hundreds of toys in
nil working order, is one of the most

stage. The company numbers -Hi pen

President Kosa and Lndd & Tiltun,
between day bunk closed, October 2S,
and day it went into receivership, No
vember (!, credited to themselves the
sum of !r"0t5;il), thus making themselves
preferred Creditors over the bank's de
positors Ross for $li,4:i;, and Lndd &
Tilton for $;i:t,l.l without turning one
dollar into the coffers of the institu
tion. '
K(ws owed the bank $31,913 when it
closed, October 2S. On November 2
this wns reduced to $14,478 by-turning
balances held in the bank by himself
and bis two brothersin-lnw, Nathan
Coy nnd W. W. Beid, to his credit
on a note for $31,913.
The bank owed Lodd & Tilton on Oc
tober 2K, $264j2. but on November 6
this debt had been paid to Ladd &
Tilton and the Title bank had a credit
with Lndd & Tilton of $6702. In this
time the Title bank transferred to Ladd
& Tilton $20,000 held to its credit by
the United States Mortgage & Trust
company of New York.
Hv these two transactions, How nnd
Ladd & Tilton took advantage of their
exclusive kuowledge that the bank had
failed nnd paid themselves 100 cents on
the dollar out of the bank; the deposi
tors will get but 30 or 40 or 50 cents,
as the case may be.
