large audience filed the Lyceum Theatre laet
night the attraction being the production. by Mr..
z. n Harveys Opera Company. from Philadelphia,
Of the celebrated ''Sorcerer' and "H.
NJ s. Pinafore" If the orchestra had been
good there would be little reason for complaint
but unfortunately the artists were now and
then left to their resources and compelled
to sing without proper accompaniment. Miss
Marie Harvey rendered her part sdmira-
bly, as Aline in the 'Sorcerer." and found
excellent coadjuors in Miss Louise Leighton. Miss
E. Howard. Mr. J. Graf, the tenor. and Mr.. c. II.
Duncan. who took the part Of John Welling-
ton Wells. In III. M. s. Pinafore'' Mr..
CASTOR personated the First Lord Of the
Admiralty with good deal Of artistic tssto,
and ably seconded BY Mr.. 81. r. HUMPHREYS -
Captain Corcoran, Mr.. w. H. Tilia as Ralf Rack
straw. Miss Louise Leighton as Josephine, Miss
mer as Little Buttercup.
The company, with better rehearsal, ought 70 be
popular, inasmuch It comprises several excellent
voices. The performance did not terminate until
midnight and while the audience patient, It was
evident that it would have been better satisfied with
abreviation Of some Of tho moro tedious move
