THR GALroN TROUPE.-"Fanchette,' with
which the Galton Opera Troupe opened their en-
gagement at the Academy OF Music last night, Is
light and sparkling opcretta, which being well
played au4well sung, went or .trippiDgly from
beginning to end. Opersttas OF this class demand
peculiar talent in the performers. Mere fine
singing and fne acting are not enough. Unless
the performers have particular chic in delivering
!. The dialogue and in giving poin. to the airs no
ability can redeem them from dullness. The Gal
ton troupe, however, are masters OF this situation,
and can give the ephemera OF opera with all the
delicacy and pungency they require. Miss Susan
Gallon has flexible and highly cultivated voice,
trils charmingly and acts with marked vivacity.
In Fancliette 1.-THE Last Rose OF Summer was
sung deliciously in response 10 an encore and, in
the alter-piece, Comm Thro' the Rye" was
awarded similar compliment.
Mr.. KelIeher, who played the Marquis de
Beaupre," has pleasant voice, and the deep bass
OF Mr. Clark is very effective. The freshest and
sweetest voice in the company Is apparently that
of Mr. Within, whose clear tenor notes and
face yocalization were pleasant indeed TO hear
Mr.. Within is a fine actor, and sang the burlesque
stew Pau song go as to gain long rolls OF ap.
plause. The audience were we'll pleased with
the performance and called the company before
the curtain at the close OF each act.
Tonight the Calton Troupe will play "oG, or the
CAPITAL Prize" one OF Ofenhach's brightest opc-
rettas, which ran hundred consecutive nights In
Philadelphia. The after-plece Is "Lischen and
Pritzchen," which, in it's original dress, was
great fayorlte with the Partisan public. The Gal
tons, it WI be seen, do not attempt too much.
They attempt no operas which are beyond their
powers and whatever they do perform they per-
form thoroughly Wen.

crowned with partial success, much remains to
be done, and the fair is mute but forcble appeal
