The RIVAL OPERAs.-To-night the new Pike
Harrison combination management reopens
Pixies Opera House with "Norma," and
tomorrow night the La Grange-Brignoli-
Strakosch troupe will present the same
grand work at the Academy Of Music.
While we are intent upon this operatic battle
Of the frogs and mice, and may be as indiffer-
ent to the result as the woman whose husband
and the bear were engaged in deadly conflict,
we must not forget the Young America Opera
Company, whose ambition scars like the Amer
ican eagle on Murray Hill. 1t is unfortunate
that this aspiring company is somewhat nipped
for want of funds to pay their license. If we
are to train prime donne for all the world it
will never do to let our young singers, who are
really clever artists and gifted with super
fine voices, pine in solitude for want Of the
paltry sum required to pay for license. The
generosity of the city should come to tho res
cue. If we are able to support two grand
rival opera houses why should we not give
lift 10 third one with much moro modest
pretenSOns?
