ABRAHAM <f FULTON ST. at HOYT . *y* TO O YOU 1 33 CAN S afford the right style TX the old days — not so very long ago at that — be- fore you could be stylish, you simply had to be rich. In the last few years, right under our very noses and so close that some folks still don't realize it, there has been a change. Style can no longer be measured in terms of how much you spend. That is the truth. Every department store, every fashion expert, every interior decorator, knows it. We know it in this store, and it has been our guiding principal for a long time. This is how it works. We learn of practically every important style development almost as soon as it happens. We watch it. Some of these new styles fall on Btony ground and never do i^row. But those that show promise get our enthusiastic support. As quickly as brains and hands can do their work, these new styles arc brought into this store and this is (he vital thing offered at a price you are glad to pay. I Occasionally (very seldom) another store is ahead of tie .1 few days. .More often we are ahead of the others. Bui practically never will you find that our price for the right styles ran be bettered. Any day we arc pre- pared fco prove to you that "You CAN afford the right M StyU at ABRAHA \l A STRA I S.

MEDITERRANEAN CRUISE To sail January 31, 1931 CThis cruise is timed to be in Nice for the famous Carnival. It will visit five of the larger and historic Mediterranean islands — Sicily, Malta, Cyprus, Rhodes and Corsica — and several of those smaller Mediterranean cities which are truly typical — as Palermo, 'Taormina.

Ludwig van Beethoven (Born at Bonn, December 16 (?), 1770; died at Vienna, March 26, 1827) Beethoven's opera, "Fidelio, oder die eheliche Liebe," with text adapted freely by Joseph Sonnleithner from the French of Bouilly ("Leonore; ou L'Amour Conjugal/' a "historical fact" in two acts and in prose, music by Gaveaux, Opera-Comique, Paris, February 19, 1798), was first performed at the Theatre an der Wien, Vienna, November 20, 1805, with Anna Pauline Milder, afterwards Mme. Hauptmann, as the heroine. The other parts were taken as follows Don Fernando, Weinkopf ; Don Pizarro, Meier; Florestan, Demmer; Rocco, Rothe; Marzelline (sic), Miss Mtiller; Jacquino, Cache; Wachthauptmann, Meister. "The opera was hastily put upon the stage, and the inadequacy of the singers thus increased by the lack of sufficient rehearsals." Beethoven had received the text in 1804. He worked on the music the following summer at Hetzendorf . On his return to Vienna, rehearsals were begun. In later years Fidelio was one of Anna Milder's great parts : "Judging from the contempo- rary criticism, it was now (1805), somewhat defective, simply from lack of stage experience." In the year that saw the production of "Fidelio," Napoleon's army was hastening toward Vienna. There was an exodus from the town The Color of the Great Symphonies Captured to the Most Subtle Degree by Victor Records and ViEtor ^Albums Victor records and Victor albums are so nearly perfect in their rendition of these musical gems that they rival the original recitations. In these records the fire, energy and enthusiasm of the old or contemporary masters is so real- istic that one may close his eyes and easily imagine him- self at the original hearing. Included in these collections are these records by Seige Koussevitsky and the Boston Symphony Orchestra.
