A New Maine prima Donna.

Miss Lillian Dunton, formerly teacher in
| the Portland high school and who has been pur-
suing the study of music in Italy for three
years, made on the sixth of January last her
| debut at the Fondo Theatre at Naples as
Eleanora in Trovatore. Her success was very
marked and the Italian journals are full of
praises OF her voice, training, dramatic power
and personal appearance. They predict for her
great career, which her industry, persever-
ance and ambition have certainly merted
Her progress will be observed with much inter
est by those who have known her in America.
She has fallen into the error of making her
debut under an assumed name-Lilla Belletti-
probably with the desire of avoiding the opposi
ton Which an American or English name ex-
cites in Italian musical circles. She will prob
ably resume her own name in due time. The
Naples correspondent of the Anglo-American
says:
On the sixth of January Miss Lillian Dunton,
OF whom spoke in a former letter, made her
debut at the Fondo in the "rrovatore," and in
spite of a strongly organized opposition made
most decided success. Her voice is extremely
harmonious and her acting far above the aver
age. Miss Dunton sings under the nom de
theatre of Lila Belletti, but it was known that
feeling OF Jealousy is growing up 10 Neapoitan
theatrical circles against American singers
This fact renders Miss Dunton's success all the
more pronounced. and for debatGnte to have
passed successfully through such an ordeal at
theatre of so high a standing, and IN an opera
every note of which can be whistled by every
gdnai1e in France or Italy may be put down as
VERT able triumph. All the local papers of i'm
portance have spoken enthusiastically of Miss
Duntons debut and have prophesied for her
brilliant career 1t gives one intense pleasure
to see America taking the lead in singing as
she promises to do in all other branches of the
fine arts.
The Italian papers are much more profuse
of compliments and confidently predict a brill
liant career for the youBg artistic. She was
called before the curtain eight times and was
showered with floral tributes Her highest
compliment however was the following congrat-
ulatory letter from her master, the celebrated
baritone Mastriani. His letter is translated
thus:
Gentle Lady:-After the happy success OBJ
tanned by you in this Royal Theatre Fondo in
"Tr0vatore," it rejoices my heart to manifest to
you my full satisfaction for your having COM
pretended so we'll my feeble counsels, execut-
ing artstically the whole of the difficult part of
Eleanora. Granting you then my heartiest
congratulations, exhort you to persevere in
the study of your art which will assuredly bring
you splendid career. Receive esteemed lady.
the testimonial of my observation and admira-
ton, and believe me,
Yours very devotedly,
RAFFAELLE MAsTRIANI,
Lyric Artist and Master of Acting.

pupil, Lila Belletti.

DIR. ScHENCK's STANDARD REMEDIES.

The standard remedies for all diseases of the lungs
are ScHENCK's PULMoNIC SYRUP, ScHENCK's SEA
WEED TONIC and ScHENCK's MANDRAKE PILLS.
and, iftaken before the lungs destroyed speedy
cure is effected.
To these three medicines DR.. j. II. Schenck, Of
Philadelphia, owes his unrivalled success in the
treatment of pulmonary diseases.
The Pulmonic Syrup ripens the morbid matter in
the lungs nature throws it off by easy expectora
ton, for when the phlegm matter is ripe slight
cough will throw it off, tine patient has rest and the
lungs begin to heal.
To enable the Pumonic Syrup to do this. Schenck's
Mandrake Pills and Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic must
be freely used to cleanse the stomach and liver
Sciencks Mandrake Pills act on the liver removing
all distractions, relax the gall bladder, the bile
starts freely, and the liver is soon relieved
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic is gentle stinulant
and Alternative; the alka of which it is composed,
mixes with the food and prevents souring 1t assists
the digestion by toning up the stomach to healthy
condition, that the food and the Pulmonic Syrup
will make good blood; then the lungs heal and the
patient will surely get well if care is taken to pre-
vent fresh cold.
All who wish to consult DR.. Schenck, either per-
sonaly or by letter, do his principal Office
corner of SIXTH and ARCH SITS Philadelphia,
every Monday.
Schenck's medicines are sold by all druggists
throughout the country. Inaleod&w2msn
