SHOWMAN MY SAYS
DON'T LHIHE FAIR DIE
Proposed Transfer of Management to
Young Men’s Business League
is Good Move.
“I am glad to see that the young
men of San Antonio are going to take
over the fair” said W. W. Gentry of
Gentry Bros. Dog and Pony show
which is wintering at the fair grounds.
"With hustling young fellows at the
helm the fair should easily be made
a self-supporting proposition if not a
paying one. The opportunity is here
and there is no use hiding the fact
that it takes young fellows to take ad-
vantage of the opportunity.
"San Antonio is too big and too
live * town to let the fair die. It
means too much in advertising and
in direct benefit to the merchants and
other business men of the city. They
ought to get out and help those young
. 'ellows make it the success it ought
:o be and make it larger every year.
Merchants will note a big difference
in this year's business if no fair is
held.
“There is another feature which
has impressed Itself to me since we
have been wintering here—and just
here let me say this is a fine place
for a show in winter. This feature I
speak of was suggested by the great
number of people who dally and Sun-
day. visit us to see our animals. Why
couldn't the young men with the help
of the street car company establish
a zoological garden at the grounds as
an all-year attraction?
“The grounds here are well adapted
for a park and could be made very at-
tractive at small expense. With a
good collection of animals birds etc.
out here tourists and visitors would
flock to see them just as they come out
to see our little menagerie. Nearly ev-
ery Sunday we have from 500 to 1000
visitors and this without advertising
our presence at all.
"The street car companies in other
cities aid in these projects and I am
sure the traction company here
would do the same. The expense for
maintenance would not be great and
the initial cost not prohibitive if a
small beginning was made and the zoo
added to a little at a time."

SEEKS BOY’S RELATIVES
Youngster Says He Is Orphan But
May Be Runaway.
Inquiries as to relatives of Robert
Fuller aged about 11 years well
dressed and bright were made in the
city today by Dr. J. I. Barnes of Sab-
inal. Dr. Barnes says the boy came
to Sabinal on the night of January
15 from San Antonio and since that
time has been taken care of at the
Cottage hotel.
According to Dr. Barnes the boy
says he is an orphan and a short time
prior to leaving San Antonio had been
employed at a department store. In
the event no relatives of the lad are
found. Dr. Barnes says he will be
adopted by a well known Sabinal fam-
ily.

MONDAY
With all health-giving wholesome-
ness of the Carlsbad spring of which
It tells "The Spring Maid” comes to
the Grand Opera house next Tuesday
to remain until Saturday as a Vien-
nese operetta that has spread its pow-
ers of fascination over all of contin-
ental Europe and has proved the pow-
er to enchant theater-goers’ this side
of the Atlantic In exactly the same
way.
The new producing firm of Werba
and Luescher were quick to recognize
the value in the new work in its first
weeks in Vienna. If there had been
any question of Its worth the Judg-
ment of Andreas Dippel then director
at the Metropolitan Grand Opera
house in New York would have set-
tled the matter for them but as it
was this typical story of German mer-
riment —even to the introduction of
one of Grimm's old fairy tales told
in its most enchanting way—with the
whirl of German waltz movements and
stirring hussar numbers made “The
Spring Maid" the most sought opera
of years.
Even the famed "Merry Widow"
had less of the romantic sensousness
of its music and the blithe sweetness
of its humor.
Heinrich Reinhardt its composer is
well known over Germany as the com-
poser of dozens of the musical playlets
so generously appreciated there. His
first opera “Das Suesse Madel" was
played by the German Opera com-
pany In New York last season and will
soon be also produced by Werba and
Luescher.
For the prima donna role in this
quaint work Fraulein Mizzi Hajos. a
Hungarian songstress who created the
leading part of the saucy Princess Bo-
zena when the opera was played in
Vienna and Berlin has been brought
to this country. Fraulein Hajos also
created the prima donna roles of “The
Chocolate Soldier” by Oscar Strauss;
"Our Miss Gibbs” “The Seven Sisters”
and was the Hungarian impersonator
of ’The Merry Widow” and the great
cities of the country have cheered her
as the most fascinating light opera
prima donna of these times exactly as
did audiences across the sea.
In support of this star Werba and
Luescher have sent a great orchestra
of thirty players—the largest that has
ever been used for light opera work;
a great ballet and a company of
ninety-four which includes such sing-
ers as George Leon Moore Dorothy
Maynard Leo Stark Tillie Salinger.
Jack Raffael Louis Miller and with
Orpha Hewes as the premiere dan-
seuse.
It Is worthy of mention that “The
Spring Maid” is the only operetta in
stage history to have run over three
hundred performances in New York
with the exception of "The Merry
Widow" and “Floradora.”
In the audience ot the Ernest Gam-
ble Concert Party at Gallup. New-
Mexico recently were a score of
blanketed Navajo Indians with faces
gaudily painted. The Gamble Party
were not sure of the approval of the
redskins for their attitude was one ot
apparent stolid indifference and at the
dose of the concert they quietly filed
out
The next day the chief called at the
hotel and left a beautiful specimen of
bead-work for Miss Page the violinist
and intimated through an Interpreter
that his people would' perform some
of their music if the company would
ride to the Indian camp. A horse-
back ride of twelve miles brought
them to the Indian village and they
were entertained by the “Corn Songs.”
the "Blanket Songs.” the "Harvest
Songs” and finally by the weird
"Snake Dance." all characteristic ex-
amples of native folk lore.
When the visitors applauded the
Indians did not understand what was
meant until it was explained that this
was the white man’s form of ap-
proval and pleasure.
Mr. Gamble will be heard in this
city on February 1 at Beethoven hall
under the auspices of the local Elk
lodge.
