THE RALEIGH DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY NOVEMBER 10, 1911. LAUNDRY Great Scramble to Get Possession of Stock of a Raleigh Business' Estalbishment MANY BUYING STOCK Three Months Ago Mi. olter Se cured Option on Block of Stock of Peoples Steam Laundry and Since Then There Has lJeen Demand for Shares Under the Wise Direction Business Has Doubled and Stock is Now Valuable. When Mr. J. R. Goiter of Raleigh, secured an option on 153 shares of stock of the Peoples Laundry three months ago, he started a movement amongRaleigh. financiers that really moved. Mr. Goiter deposited $25 to secure his option and then began gathering up shares of stock. When he got In the market Peoples Laun dry stock was quoted at fifty-five cents on the dollar; today the stock is selling for $1.10 on the dollar and before night the quotations may be much higher. The Peoples Laundry has a paid in capital of $8,500, divided into shares of $10 each, and these shares were widely scattered. This laundry came into existence about four years ago and most of its stock was bought in small lots. Four months ago the far-seeing financier would have pick ed up a couple hundred shares of this stock at $5 a share, and today he could have sold it for $10.10. To say that the officers and direc tors of the Peoples Laundry have been seized with a panic might not be quite fair to them; but it may be said with truth, that they have held caucuses, meetings, have canvassed the city for stock, and have bulled the market. The reason for this is that Mr. Goiter has said that he would like to own the new laundry. He is said to have nearly half of the shares, and if he should secure half or one more, he would control one of the best business institutions in Raleigh. Like many new enterprises, the Peoples Laundry did not, pay at first, but in the last" year or two it has come into its own. Under the man agement of Mr. H. C. Howell the business has doubled. Mr. Carey J. Hunter is president of the company. Mr. C. B. Park is vice president, .and Mr. Howell, in addition to being manager, Is secretary and treasurer. "Have you any Peoples Laundry stock?" is the question asked on every corner. Mr. C. C. McDonald, the stocks and bonds man. has ad vertisements running in .the papers.' and all who have stock may find a ready market. Manager Howell announced today that the present owners still had con trol and would continue the policy of the laundry. PRESBVTKIilAX SYNOD TO "MEET HERE NEAT YEAR.

H'lllll OPERA" IS COMING The Bohemian, Girl In Richmond Was "Something Less Than Disappointing" A flNF MAN flRfHFSTRA ft Villi Mini! UnvUliJIlm Iticliinoiid Paper Says It Was Very Different From the Advance An nouncements The Chorus Was Loud All ltight. Hut Far From (;rnoeful(iood Acrobats and Some Horseback Hiding, lint "All Acting Hy the Rest of the Coinp".v Was Omitted" High Prices Here. The widely-heralded "Bohemian Girl," scheduled to appear in Raleigh only once, Next Monday, appeared in Richmond last Wednesday night and what the Richmond papers say about it, is certainly a sufficiency. Two dollars is the advertised price in Raleigh for the best seats. The seat sale went on this morning ami a few of the uninformed allowed themselves to be touched. ,. This clipping from The Times- Dispatch speaks for itself; it appears in the Amusement column and is n labelled "Disappointing." It reads: When the New York critics, ex cerpts from those opinions were floated about the theatre a few nights ago, lavished praise upon the Aborn Opera Company's revival of "The , Bohemian Girl," they must have been J reviewing a very different produc-' tion from that with which we are now being favored, for, while there I were some bright spots in last night's performance of the beloved old opera, the whole was something less than disappointing. .; In the first place, our own "little orchestra of six pieces and a piano was augmented by one lone man, the musical director, who also played the piano; there was not even a first, violin to assist -rand this to accom pany an opera, not a musical com edy! Again, one does not expect the chorus of an opera to lie chosen for beauty, of course, but he may rea sonably expect that, the participants in various and -sundry ballets and figured dances, with waving lanterns, shimmering gauzes and near-glistening knives, should be able to move with some semblance of grace. This' expectation, however, failed of reali zation .the dancers were chosen from the chorus, of some thirty men and women, and none of them had even a nodding acquaintance with Terpsichore. It is true they all, the people of the: chorus, sang with a precision of attack and a volume that, redounded to the credit of the musical director that the quality ,f tins volume was not remarkable for its beauty is no fault of his. "Of the principals, ...Miss Blanche Morrison, the Arline of the company, was the most pleasing. She has an attractive personality and an agree able voice, somewhat I bin. but cl-ar and musical, which she uses with ease, barring an unfortunate trick of using the II sound in the middle of a word while going from one note to another, unusual in light sopranos, though common enough with low- oiced men. Her very high (ones, however are pure, true and sweet, and it. is only the very high or very low notes that, the average audience 'ares for anyhow, so that Miss Morrison became Immediately popu- ar after the first upper note in "1 rirnrtnif Thrjf I iwlf In Marble .......... . ..in , ... " i if iii jiiniuic i Halls." Miss Marie Louise Rocers , sang the role of the Gipsy Queen in ' " i . . two distinct voices, but to the com-inow piote satisfaction' of the house. Saul Roselle, the Devllishoof, displayed a bass of considerable power, while Harry Luckstone sang the part of Count Arnheim In a baritone of good resonance, though lacking in the upper register. The Florenstein of Augustus Vaughan was a negative quantity.. John R. Phillips, the tenor, sang Thaddeus (programmed ' as a "prescribed" Polish noble) in ' manner far from pleasing. His very soft tones were musical, but when he sang "out" his voice was ugly. Still, it was good to hear again, A Heart Bowed Down," "I Dreamt That I Dwelt in Marble Halls," "The Pair Land of Poland," and all the other well-remembered and "singer proof" old songs.' The 'modernization' of the opera consists largely of an utterly reck less bit of horseback riding in the first act, that made us gasp by its dare-deviltry, and of the most mar velous lot of tnmhlprH that T hove ever seen. Seven Arabs (Hassen Ben All's, presumably) came on in the second act and. after some Rood pyramid work, launched themselves into the wildest, most impossible, un believable series of whirlwind somer saults, wheels and eye-baffling gyra tions that the mind of man can con ceive. So wonderful were they that even the most hardened sat on the edge of their seats and marveled. All acting by the rest of the company was omitted." In contrast to the above, the fol lowing local announcement Is what the people of Raleigh are expected to swallow: "It Is said that the Messrs. Aborn have made the most extensive pro duction of 'The Bohemian .Girl' pver (witnessed in America, as to colossal and magnilicent scenic Investiture and up-to-date introductions of novel and special features, which include a cavalcade of horses, bands of real . Gypsies, wonderful whirlwind acro bats, and dazzling ballet. Including the famous "nance of the Hours" from "La Giaconda" in the last act, but they have not in any particular neglected to 'fully provide for the proper rendition of the opera from a musical standpoint.'

LAST GAME AT HOI Game With Washington and Lee Last of Season Tomorrow "-.Afternoon Will Witness The Last Unme of the Season on l Home Gridiron Carolina Farmer Meet Washington and Lcc Much Depends on Game. The last football game of the sea son, here in Raleiirh will be played Saturday afternoon on the A. & M athletic field; A. & M. will meet the Washing ton & Lee University. This game will be one of the best games playod on (lie local ground this season. Both teams are in perfect shape and pretty well matchod. Tho Virginia fellows have a record for this year as near ly as good as tho Farmers and then both teams are deadly rivals. Washington & Lee will come with a team that will try their hardest to defeat the Carolina Techites and then the Aggies, .well they are de termined- to add another scalp to their belt. The Aggies belt, this fall is not quite as full as it has been In the past owing to the fact that two games have been lost this season but the Farmers have recovered from their shocks and they are determined that the game Saturday will not bo a tie as in the game the W. & L. played with V. P. I. this game resulted 'n a tie of five to- five. Both teams played good ball and they were pretty evilly matched. The game Saturday will have a lot of bearing on the Turkey Game Day. Eyes from the entire south will watch the game as it will have a good deal to do with the doping out of the way things will stack up for the Thanksgiving Day game. A ..M is honing-1o beat V. P.
