Stuart Berkeley Boston, I DREAMLAND PMUSICHALW If vou want tlie 'hin'O'i'strthrill" A change in the theatre productions presented in Akron during the last six months, was afforded last night when operatic devotees were given their inning at the Grand Opera House. Guiseppe Creatore and his well known grand opera company opened a three-day engage ment at that theatre.

Verdi's LaJ Forza Del Destlno (Forces of Des-'tlny) was the opera selected for the opening bill, and was presented before a fair sized audience -of music lovers. Creatore ii the musical composer, and orchestra director of old, who for the past four years with his road company, has carried grand opera to practically evry city of any else in this country and Canada. Crea--tore has welded together a capable organization. Many of the original members of the company are still with the organization and the entire company is well versed in the reper-toir presented by the director. Last night's production was well staged, which is usually tfrue of the operas given by Creatore.

Creatore, it must be said, is driving power behind the successful presentation the operas. He is well aided in this by having assembled on orchestra of truly good musicians. The compose er's familiar mannerisms were much in evidence last night in the conducting of the piece, but the results he obtained were most gratifying. Cre COLONIAL A big musical comedy feature with ten attractive girls and several men, Including two very funny comedians, is the headline attraction at the Colonial theatre this week. The Colonial last week presented a fine musical comedy, "The Bells of St.

Marys," but thfs week's production, "The Little Cottage," is on a more pretentious basis it' ought to be because it costs a lot more money, The offering has an abundance of fun, some of the prettiest dancing and singing girls, many catchy songs, lots of witty lines, beautiful stage settings, rich costumes and many surprises. It's on? of the most bewitching and fascinating productions on the vaudeville stage this season. An extra attraction is "Doing Well, Thank You," presented by James B. Donovan, the man you all know," and Marie Lee, "the dancing butterfly," and it is guaranteed to be a genuine comedy hit. The song and dance numbers are new and the entire aot is one with a real "kick" to It.

As a special added attraction the Colonial has engaged Bessie Leonard, "The Doughboy Girl," who spent months in France during the war on programs given for the entertainment of the American ex1 forces. She is assisted by Edmund J. Porray and they sing 'some of the most entertaining songs written by Porray himself. "On the Street" is where you heat nearly everything. It Is Just so with this act, staged by Kirby, Quinn and Anger, a trio of jolly entertainers.

Their act is different from the run of acts built along the line of street scenes and street chat It's a comedy cflncoctlon pure and simple. The Four Ortons are artists known for their daring. You have seen wire artists, of course, but when you see these four daredevils you will admit you had heretofore "seen nothing at all" in their line. Besides doing death-defying acts, they have some comedy offerings highly amusing. The bill this week is the most expensive engaged for the Colonial this season.

'Agnes Robinson, as Donna Leonora, made' a pleasing and commanding Impression In her rolei The her voice Is' not of extremely wide range it Is of a pleasing quality, and possessed of wonderful color-shading. She has also the attribute of being a capable actress.

Francesco Boceao-Fusco in his role of Don Alvaro, made a very capable lover. His tenor voice well carried out the work expected of him. Other principals in the cast who assisted materially in making the opera a success from every standpoint, consisted of Nino Rulsi, as Abbot of the Franciscan friar Silvio Garavelli as "Don Carlo," Sjbyl Conklln as "Preziosilla, Vlot Moscato as "Meli-tone," Arthur Dhosch as "Trabucco'1 and Francesco Bonelll as "Marquis of Calatrava."
