roles OF "rhe Huguenots" The audience particu-
larry attracted by the Raoul OF Charles Adams from
whom a performance of than ordinary merit
was expected. Mr.. Adams one OF those
rare singers, an American tenor, although by
culture and long experience hc belongs more 10 the
Germans. He s native OF New England and studied
in Germany where he has resided for nftocn years,
for nine years oi which he was first tenor Of tho
Imperial opera in Vienna. Still, II We cannot
claim tho credit Of his artistic training,
We may pride ourselves on the production
OF the voice, powerful, manly, penetrating and
sweet, ana possessing some of those almost inde.
