...pole vaulting was long and tedious, lasting from about quarter to three until about six o'clock, but Yale did not take all three places as it was rumored she would do.

Camille Darville in the role of Mlle Lange is excellent, her singing, grace and ease being of the highest order. The waits between the acts are unnecessarily long and exceeingly tedious. The opera continues this week and next...
