The fifth represen tation Of Victor MASSES paul
and Virginia" by the Emma Abbott Opera Company
was given last night at the Grand Opera House.
There was one change In the cast. Mr.. Tom Karl
taking the role of Paul. Tho house was
crowded. 1t has been every night since the
opening-a proof in our estimation not only of Miss
Abbott's personal popularity but of the very gen.
eral appreciation by the public of really excellent
performances. II the Arst nights representation
of paul and Virginia could be warmly upheld
last nights can be praised unstintedly and
conscientiously as beautiful performance. 1t was
q performance that some way or other held the
great audience intensely interested to the end Mr..
Tom Karl is an invaluable adjunct to Miss Abbott,
who apparently feeling confidence In his msgnif-
cent voice and intelligent support. is much calmer
than the first night. and consequently is able
to do far Justice to the sweet,
simple charming character which she impersonstes.
and with her sweetness and simplicity and the
ecstacy with which her voice is inspired In many
scenes she wins rapturous applause. Miss Abbott
sings from her heart. She is Virginia as much
it is possible for artist to be- and
song enthusiastically encored, as It always is.
Mr.. Tom Kari sang and acted the roe of Paul in a
manner 1nas sa0I'a please the to mOs, m
