unless you consider cropu‘t as athletics.
1 hei'e is n ceitain peculiar grace and
])0M'er that co]nc from training- the
body in acrobatics. You can acquire
as niucli strength, ])erhaps more, by
some forms of ap])aratus work: but the
latter can never give yon the bodily
control that tumbling, in its \'arious
forms, will bring.
The ac(juirement of strength, agilitv.
grnce and poise has been sought for by
all red blooded men at some period or
other since time immemorial. From our
first physical exercise, learning to walk
when a baby, we are shown that these
manly qualities are only acquired
through steady practice and persistent
trying.
A careful study of different methods
of pliysical education will disclose a
number of facts regarding an ideal sys
tem of exercising, of which the follow
ing are most important or prominent:
First, the exercises should be accom-
jiajiied with a mininnnn of danger, sec

comic opera, ‘‘J)on Pasquale.-^
This is rrparte.i as by far the bc?t
number in the concert conise, rind ua-
doubtedly is. The music and acting
is of a high order, and a rare treat is
in store for those who attend this per
formance.
Irene Williams, the ojdy woman in
the cast, has a reput.".tion international
in scope as a singer of light opera roles
;jid Mozart music in particular. Noth
ing too good h:;3 been said of her. H?r
pure lyric soprano voice w'ill overshadow
any instrument, and slie is as dainty
a.nit vivacious an actress as graces any
stage, and her male associates in the
vocal line are worthy ones in every
particular.
Pierre Remington’s musical bass will
be a delight; Mr. liierapolis sings a
ringing and tuneful baritone and he
supports it with a stage presence that
commands every attention and respect;
Thomas McGranahan, who will sing the
tenor role as “Ernesto,” will share
honors equally throughout.
The story of the opera is generally
familiar; schemers who sepai-ate an old
man fi-om his superfluous money, and
by their slyness unite tlie fond lovers,
it is a conventional plot around which
to build just such music as Donizetti
fitted it with, and the spirit of the
story is so well reflected in the music
that one could have- no difiiculty in
sharing all the fun that the plot was
designed to carry.
Alfred C.alzin, musical director, is
.iust such a pianist as can give from
the one instrument the best approach
to an orchestra for the ensemble num
bers and his playing is no minor part
of the perfection of tho whole per-
formauee.
This company of Wade Hiushaw
players comes to Elon College highly
recommended. They have imet with
splendid success everywhere they have
given their opera. They have .played
recently in Harrisonburg, Roanoke,
Winston-Salem, a}id other towns in this
section.
One of the most interesting things
about tlie work of the Hiushaw company
is that they are giving w’orks in Eng
lish text that do not require a staid
dignity at all times. Under this situa
tion there is opportunity for comedy
touches and that would be lost w'ere
the work done in the original language-,
and the audience is brought ijito a
closer contact with the stage companys
