great refinement of style, and much taste in the embellish-
ments. Miss Dolby's talents, both as a singer and an
actress, are far beyond the average of student displays,
and seem to promise an accomplished artist, should the
young lady devote herself earnestly to the career of a
stage-singer. Mies Abbot, as Emilia, also displayed much
vocal talent, with considerable aptitude for the stage.
The short solo for the Gondolier was nicely sung by Mr.
Tietkins, who has a tenor voice of agreeable quality al-
though of no great power. BaUe's agreeable one-act ope-
ratic trifle, The Skeping Queen (originally produced at
the Gallery of Illustration), also displayed Miss Dolby's
talents to advantage as the Queen ; Miss Abbot likewise
making a favourable impression as Donna Agnes, and Mr.
Pelissier displaying • barytone voice of some power and a
decided talent for acting, as the Regent ; while Mr. The.
kins, as Philippe, sang hie music with expression. Such
a performance is of course no fair subject for minute criti-
cism, but it deserves notice for the talent really displayed
on the occasion, and as a step in the right direction, mince it
is impossible to have efficient English stage singers without
that preliminary preparation in acting which can only be
gained by actual theatrical exercise. There was nu or-
chestra in the performance of last night, the accompani-
ments being chiefly sustained, as at the Gallery of Illustra-
tion, by a pianoforte, in this instance ably handled by
Mr. W. Ganz, the incidental harp obbligato in OkUo being
played by Mr. T. H. Wright—both well-known professors.
