TO OPEN THE
NEW OPERA HOUSE
WILL RE OPENED WITH OPERET-
TA, THE “MILITARY MAID.”
k VERY PRETTY OPERETTA
Ahtateur Dramatic Company Will Pro-
duce Rightor A ■lake's Musical
Masterpiece on tho Occasion..
It hag been definitely settled that
the opening of the new Orange theater
in September will be made the occa-
sion of a great public demonstration,
and that, Instead of haring the open-
ing bill produced by a road company
and allowing the major portion of the
proceeds of the night to be carried out
of town, the Amateur Dramatic com
pany will produce the pretty operetta.
The Military Maid,” by Messrs. Henry
Rightor and Louis Blake of New Or-
leans.
When it was first suggested by Mr.
J. N. England that it would be a good
idea to put on a light opera by home
talent for the opening of the new op
era house, Mr. England stated that he
could secure “The Magic Song,’” writ-
ten by a friend flf his in Dallas. It
was later leame* however, that the
opera could not be secured in time
for the opening, and Mr. C. D. Dick
ensheets took up the matter with his
friend, Joe Leveque, editor of the New
Orleans Harlequin and writer of the
two highly successful operas, “King
Capital" and “The Swimming Girl"
with a view of securing one of them
On August 8 Mr. Dickensheets re
received the following reply from Mr
Leveque;
My Dear Dick:
New Orleans, August 8, 1904.—Cer-
tainly you may put on "King Capital”
for the opening of your new opem
house. The difficulty is, however, that
the music was left in New York by
Wehmann, who is in Europe. He will
not he back until next month. When
do you open? I would suggest that
The Swimming Girl,” by yours truly
and Wehrmann, is much more easily
staged and acted. The Olympia Opera
company played it a week and a half
at the Park here two summers ago
and broke alt records on business. I
would have to run down the music of
that, too, however, as it is in New
York. What company will open the
place for you? Give me some details
and I shall be glad to oo-operate with
you if I can. You can have either of
our thus far meagre stock of produced
properties, either because It’s you or
on any business basis you mention.
With best wishes, old chap, I am
cordially ypurs. JOE.
Mr. Dickensbedta turned this ici er
and other correspondence over to Mr.
Ewell V. Folsom, an enthusiastic
member of Oranges leading musical
organisation, the Hnrmonin club, and
naked him to correspond with Mr. Le-
veque in regard to securing one of his
operettas or snggeat one suitable for
amateur talent. The following letter
to Mr. Dlckenaheeta under date of Au-
gust 14, shows he suggested “The
Military Maid” to Mr. Folsom:
Ify Dear Dick:
New Orleans, August 14, 1904.—1
haye recommended to your friend that
he get hi touch with Rightor and
Blake and secure their “Military
Meld.’’ Both “Swimming Girl” aud
“King Capital” are too difficult for a
non-professional. cairt. “The Military
Maid” was written for such, Is pfctiy,
tuneful, easy, entertaining and success
ful. and Just the thing, I take it, that
you want. Write Henry Rightor ur
Louis Blake here and make arrange-
ments for ft
With hearty wishes for your great
success. I am cordially yours,
JOE.
Mr. Folsom took Mr. Leveque'a sug
ation and corresponded with Mr.
Rightor regarding “The Military
Maid” and secured the same, receiv-
ing on August 18 the following letter
from Mr. Leveque relative there*o:
Mr. Ewell V. Folsom, Care of Lutcher
A Moore Lumber Company, Orange,
Texaa:
New Orleans, August 18, 1904.—
Dear Sir: I am glad that you acted
on the suggestion relative to "The
Military Maid.” and t am sure that
« will have the sympathetic co-
ne may have. Cordially yours,
. M. LEVEQUE
On August 18 Mr. Rightor sent the
book and score of the opera to Mr.
Folsom and a letter stating the terms
on which the opera could hs produced
here. The terms being so reasonable,
they were promptly accepted by Mr.
Folsom.
In the meantime, however, Mrs. E.
K. McCullough, musical director of the
Harmonia club, left for St Louis and
nothing further has been done toward
arrangements for the production, ex-
cept that Mr. Folsom has picked out
his cast for the production and as
soon as Mrs. McCullough returns,
which she is expected to do at any
dny, a meeting .of the Amateur Dra-
matic company and the Harmonia
club will be called and the members
of these organizations wtlt get down
to hard work rehearsing, and those of
our amusement lovers who know the
capabilities of these two organizations
feel assured that they will see a pro-
duction up to the highest standard,
and at the same time be helping the
opera house company in their laud&ble
effort to give Orange a first-class play-
house, such as she should have had
years ago.
Every dollar of the proceeds of this
first night’s performance, except the
actual expense of producing the opera,
wnicb is small, goes to the opera
house fund and wll.l be devoted to fur-
ther decorating what will be when
completed one of the prettiest and
morft commodious little opera houses
in Texas.
Mr. J. N. Seybold of the Seybold
Reed Pipe Organ company has assured
the Tribune that he stands ready to
render any assistance In the way of
furnishing musical paraphernalia and
instruments, or personal help, toward
tjie enterprise, and from tha present
outlook it seems Orange Is to nod only
open her new playhouse with a first-
class attraction, but the proceeds will
go where they “will do the most good ’

A THREE MONTHS'
—
DRIVE,
Irvy Stephen son's Father Drov# From,
Now Mexico to Sour Lake.
A. 1. Stephenson, the well known
riverman, returned from Boor Lake
yesterday, accompanied by hla father,
Warren Stephenson of Portales, New
Maxi oo.
Mr. W. Stephenson la over 73 ydnrs
of age, but the trip he has recently
taken across a portion of New Mexico
and clear across the great State of
Texas would have daunted » man 1n
the very prime of life. NsaHy three
months ago Mr. Stephenson hitched a
wiry pair of ponies to a light buggy
and started from his home sixty miles
west of Poitales, to Orange. Portales'
Is on the extreme western edge of the-
Llano Estacado, or great Staked Plain,-
that, as yet, terra incognita of West-
ern Texas and Eastern New Mexico,
and is reached by rail over the Pecos
Valley and Northeastern branch of
the Texas and Pacific from Pecos City:-
It is 900 miles from Sour Lake by rail
and all of 1000 by the overland route.
On an air line Mr. Stephenson would
have had to cross twenty-one of the
largest count!. g in Texas on his route,
and, coming the way he did, he proba-
bly crossed twenty-five. He was three
months making the trip, stopping at
one or two places en route to visit
with relatives and old friends. He ar-
rived at Sour Lake a few days ago.
and Mr. A. I. Stephenson went over
there to meet him.
The team and rig were left at Sour
Lake and father and son returned to
Orange by rail.
Mr. Stephenson will remain here
for some time, and already expresses
himself as delighted with the town
and county.

AFTER CHURCH THE SHOW.
Electric Theater Defer* Hour of Open-
ing Until After Church Hour*.
Baker Bros., who are conducting the
electric theater In their dark tent on
Fifth street, were approached yester-
day by a leading member of the Green
Avenue Baptist church and asked if
they would not defer the hour of open-
ing their show each night until after
the evening services at the church,
where a protracted meeting is now in
progress. They were told that many
who wished to attend the church
meetings and see the moving pictures
also had to forego one or the other,
and the resuR was that possibly both
were the losers thereby.. Messrs. Ba-
ker cheerfully consented to the sugges-
tion And, beginning with tonight, they
will open their doors promptly at 8:30
and the performance will begin at 9
'harp. This program will be pursued
as long as the church meetings Uuft.
