Provinces. II would be impossible to point out q
company equal to this In the entire his
tory OF English opera. The success OF these
well-knoWn artists in the West and New
England has been OF the most unequlvocal charac.
ter, artsticaly and financially. In Boston, where
They sang last week, the season was series OF
thronged houses. The cause OF the unvarying sue.
cess OF this company everywhere may be found in
the fact that the director. Mr. Carl Rosa, instead OF
adopting the pernici0us star system, like some OF
his contemporaries has labored faithfully present
a thoroughly efficient ensemble Instead Of one
star alone he has constellation OF them. The
programme for the coming week Is exceedingly
rich and varied. The season opens on Monday

lowed by era Diavolo," "Lucretia Borgla"

Aimees benefit last night was q bumper. Crowded
to the doors the little theatre presented an amin
ated scene, perfectly in accord with the sparkling
spirit OF the production. "La Perichole" had never
more artistic representative than the versatile and
accomplished interpreter OF opera bou0e under
whose talented auspices the has so far been
successfully conducted. Mile. Aimee was, in fact,
the deserving recipient OF the hearticst ap.
probation, to say nothing OF the charming floral
tributes literally showered upon her. We have had
occasion to allude to her admirable performance of
this avorite ,0te; but as If inspired last night by
the agreeable surroundings, she eclipsed n possl-
frequent and at times the audience became enthu-
sastlc In their applause. Well sustained as she
was by MN. N0e Duchesne, Edgard and others,
Aimee proved herself q thorough artistic end IL Is
safe TO say that she has no superior In her lire upon
the stage. Tonight lies Brgands' win be given,
and the performance OF 'Barbe Bleue'' tO-mor'
row evening, for the benefit OF NJ. Noe, Will bring
the season to close.
