Much has been said and written of the various qualifications which are included in forming a desirable loca tion in which to have one's home in regard to our "own home town." Of our paved streets, good schools, cos mopolitan residents, climate, literary and musical culture, etc., hut has enough emphasis been accorded the fact of Medford being one of the best show towns on the coast, doubtless the best of its size, location consid ered, of any in the weslf ' Some two or three years ago alter line of the world's greatest singers find been beard in concert nt the Natatorium hull, a laily, formerly of Chicago, re marked: "It seems so wonderful to come to this smaller place in the far west mid be able to walk a few blocks and hear Madame , then a short, ipiiet walk home again. No long street car ride, no tiresome waiting for admission, no jostling crowd just tin evening pleasurable in every way." Our local theater was opened with an artist beloved for many years, Miss Maude Adams, nnd following attractions have not been disappoint ing. Last spring our gratitude was due Mr. George Andrews for the visit of the New York Symphony or chestra concert. Similar sentiment can now bo expressed to Mr. Hunt for the rare treat in store, La Scala Opera company in "Carmen." An opera is many things in one n drama, a vocal and an orchestral concert. "Carmen" appeals to ev eryone. The music haunts and fas cinates. From the fanfare of the arena, disclosing the motive of the toreador, the principle theme, that of Carmen, the fortune-telling duet and the exquisite purity of the aria for Micbaela. The music is abso lutely original, and tho the story, like all the grand operas, is sombre to an extent, tne very attractive stage set- i;... (j : ,i. ... ...i i '"rs-, uiu oijiinisa aimospuerc nnd intense interest aroused and sustain- ed thruout the entire performance is j the explanation for the deserved popularity. For those who may not be familiar with the entire story, the following brief (synopsis is given. ' "Curnieji" bus its opening in n pub lie square in Seville, showing nt one side u guurdlioiisc, where. Jose, a young brigadier, keeps' guard. Micaela, a peasant girl whom he lov ed in his village home, comes to seek him with n message from his mother. As Jose appears the girls stream out from the cigarette factory. Carmen, a gypsy, reckness and bp witching, is their lending spirit in love and adventure, Heedless of the passing throng of suitors and at tracted by the handsome young sol dier, Carmen throws him n flower, leaving him dnzed and bewildered nt her beauty anil the fascinating dash of her dark eyes. A moment later a slabbing affray with a rival factory girl leads to the gypsy's arrest and she is placed in cure of Jose himself. A few more smiles and softly spoken words from the fascinating Curnicn, nnd he is persuaded to allow her to escape. There is a sudden struggle and con fusion, the soldier lets go his hold, nnd the bird hits flown. Act II Act two takes place in the tavern of Lillas Pnstin. a resort of gypsies, smugglers and questionable characters generally. Here arrives F.scamiilo, the toreador, amid the ac clamations of the crowd, and he, like the rest, offers his lioiuukc to Car men. Meanwhile the two smugglers, Dancairo and Remeiulnd... have an expedition afoot and need Carmen to accompany them. But she is await ing the return of the young soldier, who, as a punishment for allowing her to escape, had gone to. prison nnd will not depart until she has seen him. The errivnl of Jose leads to an ardent love scene between the two. Carmen dances her wild gvpsy meas ure before him: vet, in the midst of it all, be hears the regimental trum pets sounding the retreat. While Carmen bids him remain nud join her, the honor of n soldier urues him to return. The arrival of his cap tain, who orders him hack, decides Jose. He defies his officer, who is I'omcI t, v'he smuiriilers and deserts his recipient for Carmen. Act 111 The next scene finds Jose with the smugglers in a roekv camp in the mountains. The career of a bandit, however, is one to which a soldier docs not easily succumb. His distaste offends Carmen, who scorn fully bids him return home, she also foreseeing in gypsv fashion with the cards that they will end their careers tragically together. In the midst of this strained situation two strangers arrive: Escnmillo, the toreador, who has also followed Carmen, and Micueln. with a message from Jose's ' " 36e tifirine eflfie (vnt Grt.

The soldier. fruMral ed in his attempt to kill Ke.uiiillo, cniinot resist the prl's iippcal and departs, promising to return later for his revenue. Act IV The final act takes plaee outside the lMaza de Toros, the seene of Kseamillo's triumphs in the ling. Carmen has returned here to witness the prowess of her new lover, and is informed by her friends that Juse, halt'-era.ed with jealousy, is watch ing, eapahle of desperate deeds They soon meet, and the scene be tween the gypsy and the maddened soldier is a short one. The jealous Jose appeals to her to return to him, hut she refuses with a scorn, altho she knows it means death. In a rage Jose stabs her, and thus the end eomes swiftly, while within the arena the crowd is heard acclaiming the triumph of Kscauiilto.

Following is from the Kovell Chronicle: "Miss Inez Coffin, music director of tiie Byron schools, is to be con gratulated. The Byron school chil dren are to be praised ami the peo ple of Lovell were fortunate indeed to have the privilege of seeing the operetta that was staged at the Ar mada on Tuesday evening of this week. "For the manner in which the chil dren carried out the wonderful fairy story and their perfect appearance on the platform, speaks volumes for their instructor, who must possess a wonderful amount of patience as well as a great amount of ability."
