Theatre-goiag .Wilmington once
more' is to revel in the rare - delights
of a great "Merry Widow" kind of
musical production gay,' colorful,
gloriously sung, melodious, romantic
comic opera, when, on next wednes-1
day, at the Academy,; the interna- j
tionally famous impresario, Andreas J
Dippel, will send here the brilliant!
operatic organization he has assem-;
bled in support of the two celebrated;
stars, Arthur Albro and Finita de j
Soria, for an engagement of only onei
performance. 1
Indisputably this will in many ways j
be the most important musical event j
of the current theatrical season. The ;
attraction is one of special distinc-
tion, its appeal derived from ele-;
ments representative of the best,
genius of the combined arts of thej
stage. In another way of speaking j
"Gypsy Love," while a royal favorite j
of every class that attends the the-j
atre, just as was "The Merry Widow,"
is a 'masterpiece of operatic construe-j
tion no more to be compared with or-,

to silver. Its presentation under;
such auspices as in this instance,
with cast and production of a world-j
famous impresario's own choosing, ;
constitutes an event of much signifi- j
cance to those who love music and j
who are sufficiently informed of the j
operette to know of the score's mel-i
odic riches.

years of age.
He was a most devoted churchman

Episcopal church. In 1864 he married

Arthur H. London, of Pittsboro.
William Lord London was born In
Pittsboro April 3, 1838, and had always
resided here and was one of the mo3t

of his county. He served in the Con
