the leading juvenile role, and the rest Of the cast will
be excellent 1t Is said that several beautiful young

Tho leader Of an orchestra ought to be one Of the
most popular men connected with performance,
simply because he has it his power TO ada to de-
tract from the pleasure of an evening At our best
theatres generally finds the opening orchestral
piece to be light overture, sparkling with pleasant
effects and followed between the acts by brilliant
marches, waltzes, nedeys and pot pourris. This Is
as It should be. The ambitious conductor ought
therefore to be as much the alert tho ger
to astonsh his hearers with something new, yet not
tiresome.
