From the Concert Chamber of the Town Hall, a relay of the concert version of Wallace’s opera "Maritana" by the Orpheus Musical Society. Argument: Maritana, a handsome gitana, whilst singing to a crowd of people __.in a square in Madrid, attracts the admiration of the King. Don Jose, ' an unscrupulous courtier, observing this, determines to satisfy the King’s whim, and then to betray him to the Queen, with whom he is bold enough to be madly in love. An. impetuous spendthrift, Don Cesar de Bazan, arrives on the scene, and, in order to protect a poor _ boy named Lazarillo from arrest, the Captaiit of the Guard, an action which, by a recent edict of. the King, entails death by hanging. . He is arrested and imprisoned, but by Don Jose’s influence his sentence is changed to the more soldier-like death of being shot

on condition that he marries a veiled lady; this he consents to do. After the ceremony he is led away to the fortress to be shot. Don Jose conveys the veiled wife, who is none other than Maritana, to the palace of the Marquis Montefiore, where the King is introduced to her as the Count de Bazan, whom she has married. Unfortunately for Don Jose’s scheme, the real Count was not shot dead, as the bullets had ebeen withdrawn by Lazarillo from the guns whilst the soldiers were drinking at the wedding feast, and he now appears dressed as a monk, and searches the saloons for his wife. Don Jose persuades the Mar- | chioness to play the part of the veiled lady, but the Count discovers the imposture, and Don Jose is compelled to have him re-arrested to prevent his meeting: Maritana, who is conveyed by his orders to the Villa d’Aranguez, Here the King pursues her with. his unwelcome attentions, but she remains true to Don Cesar. The latter, having escaped from prison, forces his way into the room just as Maritana leaves the King. In the altercation which ensues the King, whom Don Cesar recognises, says he is the Count de Bazan, and so Don Cesar assumes the character of the King, and learns for the-first time that a pardon has been sent on the night of his condemnation. This pardon was: intercepted by Don Jose. The King, receiving a message from the Queen, departs, giving orders to Lazarillo for the re-arrest of the , unfortunate Count Cesar, who, risking all peril, sees Maritana, and proves that he is the man to whom she was so mysteriously wedded. He then climbs over the wall of the villa to kill Don Jose, who is pressing his suit upon the indignant Queen. He returns to the villa to find the King there again, who, on hearing of his loyal bravery, restores to him his bride and makes him Governor of Valentia.
