Yesterday was red letter day with the
citizens of Rock Island and vicinity. as!
regards opera. and the pleasure which
had been anticipated was fully realized.
The matinee was very fairly attended,
but was chiefly confined to lovers Of music
and those who take special interest in
opera. In the evening the citizens came
oat ia great force and every available seat
in the house was occupied. The reception
was such as must be most fattering to
Miss Abbott and her company. and it also
shows that the people of this city will turn
out when they believe an entertainment to
be worthy of patronage.
In the afternoon was given the Chimes
of Normandy" otherwise known as the
Lies Cloches de Corneville." bright,
sparkling opera, full of melody and pos
sessing some intensely dramatic situations.
Miss Marie Stone and MIR. Tom Karl,
sustained the principal roles, and were
well received, both performing their parts
admirably. Noticeable was the acting of
Mr.. Eliss Ryse, which was intensely real
and impressive.
IN THE EVENING
Miss Abbott was the attraction, aud 10 the
opera Of Romeo and Juliet" which was
performed, she took the character of
Juliet, and right well she sustained it. and
not only maintained her previous reputa-
ton but added fresh laurels to those
already acquired.
Miss Emma Abbot is brave little
woman and was received with crowded
house as she deserves, for she is an arts
of true merit and accom- plishment, the re-
suit of her indomitable pluck. She is q
great favorite here and she showed hei
true nobility of character last night in
coming before the curtain and making
grateful acknowledgment to the kind
friends in Rock Island, Moline and Dav
export, who so generously aided her to 8
start on the road to fame and success
Not many would have had the mora
courage to make the acknowledgment,
