A CHAMING RENDITION OF THE PoPU-
LAR OPERA BY LOCAL TALENT.

A CLAIMING RENDITION OF THE POPU- |
LAR OPERA By LOCAL TALENT.
The Millard Club entertained their
friends at the Opera House, las. night,
with the well-known but ever attractive
opera, "Pinafore." The audience was
limited only by the capa ity OF Tie house,
and desp te the sweltering nature OF the
atmosphere, the great crowd remained
in their seats until the curtain dropped
at the close of the last act.
The performance was one OF the best
yet given by the club. The singing
was, Of course, far superior to that u
most of the "rinafore" trouprs now OH
the stage, while the dramatic ability dis
played was really surprising considering
the fact that the performers are all anna
teurs in this part Of the stage profession:
The Sir Joseph Of Mr.. e. L. Howell
was an artistic creation, and showed
him 10 be a comedian of no mean
ability, us well as vocalist Of surprl'-
| ing excellence. The Josephine was
Miss Clara j. Rau, OF Philadelphia, who
took the place of Miss Addie COnn0r, Of
this city, The latter being prevented by
i'll hess from participationg in the per-
Torrance.
During the presentation Of the opera
all the choruses and each Of the leading
solos, duets and trios were enthusiastic
ally encored. On this account the opera
was almost doubly rendered, and the
performance considerably protracted, al
though the audience manifested their en-
joyment by remaining In their s. ats aud
insisted upon encOres until the end. A
feature of the solos was the rendendition
of the famous sailor song, "Nancy Lee"
by Dick Deadeye, which, though an in
terpolaiion not exactly dpropOs, was
splendidly given, and received most
enthusiastic encore. The trio between
Sir Joseph, Josephine and the Captain
vas rendered better than ever before on
the Opera House stage, even by the IA
m us Church Choir troupe. The sailors

wright, Sir JOsephs second cousin, "
Was splrndidly executed, and gained for

The whole opera was under the ef-

while Prof. Ferd. Fullmer presided at
the piano, and DIR. j. NJ. Curtis managed
tho stage properties. The cast Of char
ac,els, which is of local interest, was as
