STADT THEATRE-WACH great German
tenor gave last night the highest evidence Of his
popularity by attracting to this theatre the largest
house ever known within its walls. The opera was
''The Position OF Lonjumeau" OF which we have
already given our opinion. Whatever may be the
opinion OF musicians and critics concerning the
utter worthessness Of this opera and the mere
sational singing OF the tenor, thing Is certain
and that Is tnat the receipts last night exceeded
popularity and there is no doubt that never before
did an Operatlc artist receive such undenable
recognition from the hands OF the public OF his great
talents. Lucia Is the only novelty next week.

pected with SO popular piece, has been very fair
success. The dialogue has been specially furbished

fresh and good scenery. Frank Mayo as Charley
Badger, is perhaps a coarser impersonatlon tnan
we have been accustomed to, but the part Is
certainly not deficient in strength. He is
