Lyceum Theatre-ssLa Princesse de
Trebizonde."
This charming opera. probably one OF the most
enjoyable Of the prolific Orenbach's works, has
entered upon career Of success at the Lyceum
fully equal to that which attended the production
OF "La Grande Duchesse" and "Genevieve de
Brabant." The sparkling nature of the play itself,
leaving the music out OF the question, with such
admirable interpreters as Miles. Aimee, Mnelly,
Gan ion and Kid, and MN. DepOuchtt, Dupan and
Debeer, is quite an attraction. When around 1t
strains Of the Franco-German composer,
lyric champagne, as 1t It were, it. can
should have become such sterling iavorle. The
house was crowded last night and although the
cast has not been changed since the first repre-
sentation, the efforts the artists have succeeded
in introducing new features of interest, particu-
larry in the scintilatlng dialogue and dasning
music and enccreS wee more numerous tnan
may be generally found on the opera bOtta
boards. "La File de Madame Angot" is In active
Offenbachian opera there IS little Likelihood OF a
change for many nights TO come.
Central Park Gnrden-Thomas' Fare
Theodore Thomas and his orchestra took final
leave OF Central Park Garden last night, the pro-
gramme being entirely devoted to Wagner The
hall and garden were go crowded that it was q
difficult matter for late c0mers even to gain ad-
mittance. 1t was deserving tribute of the me-
tropoitan public to one who has done so much In
the cause Of true art. The conductor was cheered
and appauded at the conclusion only popular
favorite might expect, and his band played with
more than ordinary spirit and effect.
