Among his most successful operatic rples are Mephistopheles iu Gounod's "Faust" and Badoero in "La Gioconda," the latter being one of his greatest achievements. This role features one of the most dramatic of arias and gives ample scope for testing Mr.

Wheeler's well-rounded bartone. He sings with fire and enthusiasm, and yet well restrained power. This talented artist will be heard here in the May Valentine Opera company, singing the role of Scarlet in DeKoven's masterpiece, "Robin Hood." To hear Wheeler sing "The Old Cross Bow," a song laden wtih the teeming atmosphere of green- boughed Sherwood forest, or "The Armourer Am as with brawn and muscle he swings the smithy's hammer on the mighty anvil which echoes back his own powerful tones, always sends a thrill of joy 1 through the audience. The fireside prattle of "It Takes Nine Tailors to Make a Man" is also greatly enjoyed. Audiences will be more than delighted with the time spent in hearing Mr.

Wheeler, for his singing is one of the crowding events of a charming evening spent in the asmosphere of America's greatest opera composer, Reginald DeKoven, who has given us that grand old gem of melody, "Robin Hood."

Either we must cease boasting about our ancestors or we musy produce some visible token of theii- rank in by-gone days. i Whether we have inherited an old cameo carving of hoop-skirted grandmother entering 1 the barn, a bracelet made of hair combings or a. brooch of real pearls matters not--so long as we a something old. To illustrate what means of swank these heirlooms attain us, a young miss i frizzled hair and bedraggled frock sat in a subway.
