GRAND OPERA HousE.-Mrs. Oates NOW Mrs.
Tracey Titus) appeared at the Opera House
last evening in the laughable extravaganza
entitled Fortunio. The comic opera was finely
rendered the company being rather better
than that which appeared with Mrs. Oates in
this city last season. Those old time favor
ties. Messrs. Crane and Drew, were in fine
voice and acquitted themselves most credita-
bly,; Mr.. John .Howson, as the aburn-haired
maiden, was irresistibly comical. His voice
Is wonderful. producing the softest tones inn
aginable. The new members of the troupe,
Messrs. Pratt. shannon, Jones, Henry, and
Misses Fraser, Glenn and Koran performed
their respective parts admirably. As for Mrs.
Oates. the moment she appeared ON the stage
n round Of congratulatory applause followed.
Fer dash, abandon. grace, vocalism and
terpsichorism, she has no equal on the bur
lesque stage. Talking with the greatest rapid
ity. her clear tones reach every part of the
house. As a vocalist she ranks high. Her
rendition last night of "Sweet Spirit, Hear
MY Prayer - was worth the price of admis
sion. The absurd opera was finely placed ON
the stage, the scenery and costuming being
most attractive. Tonight Planche's Fortu-
MO will be repeated. we doubt not, to
crowded house. All lovers of fine singing,
good acting and the burlesque generally must
be ia attendance.
