Sale of Tickets Points to Large Crowd at Opera
"Namiko San" and Ballet to Be Given Tonight in Gymnasium
at 8:20
With the roads in excellent condition as a result of the recent good weather, Donald M. Swarthout, dean of the School of Fine Arts, this morning predicted a large crowd for the performances of the Manhattan Opera Company, "Namiko San," and the Pauk-veyauk ballet.
"The sale of tickets has been brisk this morning," Dean Swarthout said. This activity he attributed to the fact that the majority of students wanted until they returned from Thanksgiving vacation before purchasing their ticket.
The performances start at 8:20 on the evening, and the gymnasium doors will open at 7:30 promptly, he said, in order to allow the audience may be in place by 8:20.
The fact that the admission here has been at a much lower figure than in other points where these companies have performed recently will be, he believes, a factor in bringing to Lawrence tonight a large number of music lovers from other cities, notably Louis, the Kansas Cities and Towels.
Admission Is Lower Here
"the opera itself is a delightful piece of music composition similar to Madame Rutterley," Dean Swarthout out said. "The voices in the support cast are highly recommended Miss Katherine Sauterin, formerly a soprano at the School of Fine Arts Company, and now a member of the faculty of the School of Fine Arts speaks highly of the presentation of the oper, and of the excellent work of the little Japanese soprano, Tamiki Mori, who was in the title role to right. Miss Isabelle heard her play, performed by the oper in Chicago last season.
Swarthout Recommends Ballet

The opera will be accompanied by a symphony orchestra of 28 pieces, and will be conducted by the composer, Aldo Franchetti, in person.
