EORD'S OPERA HOUSE-OOMIC OPERA.
The most brilliant audience of the season was
at Ford's opera house last evening, Official circles
being largely represented, to hear Mrs. Oates
and her Comic Opera Company's rendition Of
Charles LIE Cocq's best production, madame
au0ience recognized its beauty and humor, and
the applause and encores were all that the
artists could wish for. The Duet Of Happy
Days." between Mrs. Oates and Miss Larkelle,
was most eharmingly sung, and its music af-
forded q test Of their voices which was happily
sustained, the clear, bell-llke soprano note9 Of
Mrs. Oates blending in perfect unison with the
excellent contralto OF Miss LRrkelle, who, by the
way, never appeared to better advantage.
The Quintette which followed was by no means
properly sustained by the orchestra the brass in
struments playing nothing but the most inharmo-
Nous discords, quite sufficient to account for the
spasms Of the reed and stringed ones. However,
they redeemed themselves in playing the music
Of the "Consptrators' Chorus, which was twice
encored, and received the hearty, genuine ap-
lowed was the best and funniest ballroom scene
ever seen on the Washington stage; the slight,
fantastic toe Of Miss Larkelle, though, gave out
early in the sounds Of revelry," but WoOdheld
and his partner, in their lightning, Majton gyra-
tions through space-it takes small universe for
Woodfeld's legs to get round in. 1t would be as
difficult to tell before hand which direction they
going shoot out in TO calculate the eccen-
trio courses Of a comet. Mrs. Oates as Olairette
her creation must remain something Of mystery
-Geyser Springs would cease their Intellectual
buildings in her presence, and hrst-elass mete-
ORIG shower would be ashamed of itself. MADAME
Ahgots Child" viii be repeated tonight.
