of the season will be presented. Verdi's

evening, Bizet's "Carmen" on Thursday
and Friday, and Verdi's "Aida" on Satur-
day afternoon and evening. The artistic
merits of these presentations are too famil-
iar to the clientele of the Castle Square
Opera Company to require extended com-

enlisted for the week are Misses Golden,
Kronold, de Treville, Holmes, Niven,
Mattfeld, and Messrs. Sheehan, Berthald,
Davies, Mertens, Elder, Luckstone, Knight,
Clark, Belcher, Veron, Walling and Ranny.
