The announcement of the coming to the Forrest Theatre, Philadelphia, for a limited engagement parting - Monday, ^pril 25, of the Ralph Dunbar revival of the greatest of all comic operas, "Robin, Hood," will be welcomed in an enthusiastic way by every lover of musical events in this vicinity. The opera is declared by critics to be the best work of its composer, the late Reginald DeKoven. The libretto was written by Harry B. While the. locale of the story of -Robin Hood" m the beautiful countryside of the heart of England in the twelfth century, the treatment of the theme is purely American, which accounts for its^-mtisical worth and bristling humor. There are hosts of prcttv and popular - songs in' the famous opera. There is a graceful yet hilarious glance- chorus, "A Morris Dance. You MuBt Entrance" in the first act and a characteristic song by Friar Tuck, at which he offers at auction, ale, venison and homespun," followed by the third number, a KUmorous-pastor-al, the milkmaid's song— the Sheriff offering a buffo basso, with chorus — -I Am the Merry Sheriff of Nottingham" is a favorite. "Oh, Promise Me," rendered by Alan-a-Dale, is one of the big feature numbers fo the opera. Then there is the armourer's gong, "Let Hammer on Anvil Ring"; Little John's unoctuoys apostrephe to the brown ale: "And it's will ye quaff with me, my lads"; When a Peer Makes Love to a Damsel Fair," and the vivacious, quintette: "When Life 1 Seems Made of Pains and Pangs," I ' sing My Too-ral-Loo-Ral-Loo." Mr. Dunbar's production of- the op- ' era is thoroughly adequate. It has a wonderful cast of principals headed ; SMiss Paula Lind Ayers, Hilan ■ ostyn, Clara Campbell, James Stevens, John MacSweeney, an exception- ' »lly large chorus, superb scenic and ! ' lighting effects and costumes that | ' •re complete to the most minute de- | tail, rich in texture and true to the . time of the attraction. Your visit to Philadelphia will not 1 have been complete without attending ' beautiful "Robin Hood." i ' — : — PARADOXIAL FINANCE NO. 2 J • ' 1 Delinquent Taxes constitute the 1 —Pons Asinorum" of Tax Collection. ] / "The angles at the base of an iso- { - celes triangle are equal to one anoth- i »r," is so apparent that eveu the phi- j 1 losophy of Euclid only produces the 1 1 finality "That it is because it is!" | c So the paradox "of "Delinquent J Taxes accumulates year after yehr t presenting apparently a ridiculous f problem. We ascend the jhrnb yf the e pyramid and remain impaled on its , »pex! j The fact that we repeat £he process t ad infinitum, oitfy adds to the puzzle r Without presenting a solution. Revelent to the situation stands e the "Floating Indebtedness" which v receives an addition of about onesixth the Tax. Duplicate. I This indebtedness occasionally reduced but the sheet is pever cleaned. Paralelling this runs the deception of "Surplus Revenue," which under ' the Law has to be re-appropriated 1 each year, and we find ourselves in a r ..cul de sac inevitable and ridiculous! ^ Year after year we have" a 'Tax s Sale," and the City "buys in" on a ' large per centage. h •-Continuing the rotary process, we f flatter ourselves that this is the only 1 way, the only solution; and he in- * . cubus remains "Barnncled" upon the p Ship of State." . Placing the statement in . items — w we have: . Tj> Debit: Delinquent, taxes; Tax Sales b and cost? with interest; Interest on 5 Loans contract^, on account of l^ipaid Taxes; Theoretical Surplus Rev- 1 enuc. * Credit: Occasional settlements on 1 transfers of property. n Result: Increasing Floating Indeht- c edness; Increasing Interest on .Loans 1 and Tax Book accounts "open arid the * books not. closed. 3 Some returns could be made if the ~ City, took possession under Tax-S&les, collecting repts due against such properties. ^ Reviewing "the- situation, .it tfould seem, that 'The Asses Bridge" is to be a continued legacy "from generation ttJ^ generation," foolish though it is. 1 V »

LENA B. 'HUGHES, Secretary, j * FIRE IN SENATOR ! WlGHT'S OFFICES ' Shortly before 6 o'clock Tuesday j ' evening, fire broke out in the Bright , block on Holly Beach Ave. between Oak and Cedar Avenues, which completely ruined the interior * of this The fire driginated in t'^e shoe repairing shop conducted by. » Arthur and "is believed to- have been caused by a gas explosion, however/ the cause is not really known. Mr. i tried to extinguish the blaze j the alarm- was turned in, but it soon gained headway beyond his J control. The fire immediately spread to the King Realty Company's office . adjoining the shoe shop which wj»s| soon a- mass of flames. Mr. King 1 carried no insurance and his loss is j estimated at $1500. fiy this time the fire had continued into the office of j K. Bright and on through to the : Elvamay cottage. The firemen fought ! gallantly and tolY-much praise cannot given them for the .splendid work j they did in fighting the fire. Every ! j apparatus on the beach answered the (call and offered .t^eir sen-ices in keeping the fire frorti spreading fur- : ther. Ail of the buildings were of frame structures which made them an prey to the flames and had it not been for the fact; that the Loefler which is of VriSff. adjpining the -fcuilding on the /rear, the result might have been mtfre disasterous. Mr. William H. Bright is the owner of all the buihHqgs damaged, and will suffer the greatest loss. MEMORIAL BUILDING TO BE CHANGED Hopes are held of saving about ' of it, if the" Athletic Associa- ' tion turns over the $8,000 they have raised in order that the piling may started. The offer of Mr. Gold- • stein to the city of two hundred feet on the ocean side of the walk., been accepted and now the city I finds that the only available money they have is, the offer of $8,000, which has been raised" for this pur- ' The city, has a means of issu- ! ing "bonds to the extent of $30,000, j which would moke a total for this | building of $38,000. The cost of the as first estirmtted was to be $75,000. It has been suggested, hpwpver, that the citj^ building according to the amount of ' money, they have at the presen time, This amount would not provide quarters for the AmeriLegion and the" Athletic Association but would furnish a music pavilion and quarters for the Board ol Trade and a public rest room.

this much would be aa improvement t, and is looked forward to by the risii<t tors who will be here this summer, n- City Solicitor HaAd explained the to necessary lfegal steps tjiat would have y- to be taken before this .building could i be erected. The . notice of intention published, the issuance of bonds adn- vertising of same, asking for bids on jj contract, all of which would take unit, til about "July 1st- This would give only a month to erect the building add have it ready by August 1st which .would he a short period to use st it this summer but it would show goo d intentions to do that much and the building could be used for six id weeks at least this summer. 3to A special meeting of the Athletic n, . Association, was called for Wednesn- day highti at which .time the City ig Commissioners met with the Athletic ie Association with the hope of derisQt ing some means whereby the Memorial Building can be erected in a shorter length of time and some of the red tape omitted.
