one of the good old meodramatic Sort with

hero, and q bold, bad villain whose evil
Vaccinations are brought to nought IN

tact that it allows Miss Lolita, as Ausete sort OF
aiminutive good angel, to play her pranks and cut
her pretty capers through couple of hours, ana al
ford much amusement to everybody She
has long been a favOrite with tbs
public, and she seems just as young and
as full of life and animal spirits swhen she first
appeared. There are the same sweet voice and the
graceful grish figure and the pretty little face that
won their way then into the popular heart
and her kittenish ways and little touch
of diablerie are not. changed. She had eff

THE RIIOU OPERA HOUSE.

The performances at this pretty little theatre OF
Mr., Clays ages Ago. and of Mr. Celliers " Char
ity Begins at Home" are making successful pro-
gress What roughness there was at first has worn
off. and the singers have become familiar
with their parts, the stage and each
other. so that everything now goes
smoothly and the beauties of the operettas, which
were obscured on the first night, con be clearly
seen and enjoyed. Boil pieces have much that IS
good and attractive about them, and " Charity BE-
gins at Home" especially seems likely to Obtain q
lasting popularity. The airs are original:
graceful and full of spirit, and they STAND
that surest test of musical merit, second near
ing. For they steadily improve on acquaintance
The Instrumentation, too, although occasionally
little heavy, is at times exceedingly clever Inc
cessful career which ought to be source OF gen
eral satisfaction for there is no more delightful OF
more thoroughly innocent amusement than opera

ing to have it firmly established here.

bright and of the sort to please the general public
and it has been, in the main, adequately given.

than the tunes in this Operetta 1t would be hard to

Qraceful. often with good swing TO them tmost OF

character to tax severely either the vocal resources

the sort of music that passes into one ear and out OF
the other-but without leaving, at any rate, an I'M
pleasant impression behind. Mr.. Edward Molten
hauer has shown excellent Judgment in arranging

too noisy This is a fault that seems to be very gen.
eral-for both Mr.. Clay and Mr. Collier have COM

MISS FIELD,s ENTERTAINMENT.

Miss Kate Fields entertainment, of which gen.
eral notice has already appeared in this column.
owes fair share of its success to the excellent and
appropriate music. There eight or nine songs in
the course of the piece, and Miss Field delivers them
with point taste and humor. showing no mean abil-
ity as vocalist. The Spanish Muleteer Song is
given with picturesque effect; tho ballad OF "Twick
enham Ferry" a production, we believe, of
Theodore Marzals, is likely to be favorite
with her audiences; there is typical
concert-hall song, 20 you ridiculous man" y; there
are two burlesaue compositions, namely the
"Silent Song" and the operate travesty; and
there are several pieces, written expressly for this
entertainment, on Miss Fields own verses. In one
instance she has awaited herself of the musical
talent of Mr. Alberto Randegger who has contribu-
ted lively song in which, however, we recognize
nothing particularly novel but for the most part
she has depended upon Mr.. George Grossmith, IT,
Mr. GrOssmith has a special reputation in England
in connection with parlOr entertainments
He shows in what he has done for Miss Field, fer
tile fancy. gay spirit and sense of the humorous
in music. The pattern Of his songs is not new, but
they are never commonplace or nelegant the meo-
dies are bright and pretty, and the accomplishments
are often charming. In the Burlesque OF Italian
Opera he has achieved marked success, by writ
ing good music which is full OF fun and mischief.
