SAN CARLO OPERA CO. TO GIVE TWO SHOWS Trowbridge Announces Dates for Two Operas Here. Details in connection with the fleeting visit Indianapolis of the San Carlo Grand Opera Company at the Shubert-Murat on Sunday, Dec. 13 (matinee and evening performances), have been announced by Nelson G. Trowbridge, under whose local auspices the engagement is to be held. TWo operas are to be given, both by one of the greatest living lyric composers, Giacomo Puccini, upon whom the mantle of Verdi may be said to have fallen. They are the foremost examples pf his amazing and prolific genius, "Madame Butterfly" and “Tjt Boheme.” Os the former, its creator spoke as follows during its first representation in New York at the Metropolitan Opera. House on Feb. 11, 1907: “I like ‘Madame Butterfly’ more than I can tell, and with 'La Boheme’ is the favorite of my works. These two gave the most pleasure during their creation.” Naldi to Make Keith Tour Nita Naldi, the raven haired vampire of so many' big pictures, is another film player to fall victim to the lure of the two-a-day. Her sketch opened this week at the Coliseum Theater, New York, for a brief preliminary tour.
