NEW SUFFRAGETTE OPERA READY.
Now look for competition from the suffragettes.
Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont has written a new operetta
for the cause of suffrage, which is expected to
realize at least $1,000,000. Miss Elsa Maxwell has
supplied the music to Mrs. Belmont's lyrics and
everything is now ready for the production of the
piece in New York, with prominent society leaders
in the roles. Marie Dressier will have the chief
comedy part.
