ESTHER.

ESTHER
The beautiful sacred operetta of Esther was
very creditaby given at the Opera House in this
city on Thursday and Friday evenings of this
week, by a company of about fifty of our best home
talent under the direction OF Professor and Mrs.
Lindsay, who took the leading roles. In costume,
drill and general arrangement the management
was really flultless. The same is also cmphati-
cally true Of the orchestral support The'acting,
also, with rare exceptions was excellent through
out. As TO the vocalization, ID a company thus
spontaneously and promiscuously made up, OF
course, perfection, or even anything above med
iocrity, was not to be expected. MIR. and Mrs.
Lindsay of course had had experience enough
to make no balks though in singing and act
ing they had little to boast over much of our
hame talent. Mr.. Frank Kendall rs King was
perfect, his magnificent baritone serving him to
Soou purpose. Miss Hobbs, as Zerisb, was neat,
modest, graceful and sang with faultless taste.
Ed, Smith, as Haman, was splendid. His fine
physique, faultless acting, and rich tenor voice
made him one of the favorites from the start
Laura McNar was faultlessly attired and her
peerless soprano is yet ringing in our ears, but
why was she put off with SO unimportant part?
But Mrs Autman made the only real hit of the
evening. Her clear, round, slvery voice was the
only one that completely filled the house, and
she sang with pathos that moved many to
tears. But of course we cannot 90 over the
whole list. We really saw nothing to fault in
any OF them. There were possibly some anachro.
nisms and absurdites in costume, and some
awkwardnesses incident 10 all first attempts in
matters Of this kind, but all in all the play was
entertaining and pleasant, and well deserved the
full houses with which, at both presentations, it
was greeted.
