THE OPERA CONCERT

night by a delightful concert TO be
give at the Greenlaw o~perahouse.
The Taliapetra opera company ended
their campaign here on Saturday
night, in rather unexpected manner,
their exchequer being empty and no
funds on hand to pay off the members
Of the troupe. This, hard on all the
company, is especially severe and
distressing to those members of the
chorus, the orchestra and others
whose pay is light. The company lisa
meritorious one; and it is no fault of
theirs that they we're stranded here.
Their recent tour through Texas was
especially disastrous, mud and cold
stormy weather without cessation, pre-
venting people from attending their
entertainments. The managers of the
company sunk their entire investment
in the enterprise, and are as hard
pressed, in afnancial sense,as are those
who held minor positions;this class are,
however, not suppliants for charity,
but will contribute their quota toward
the concert tonight, and will then
proceed eastward to seek association
with other lyric organizations. Prom
inent people in all circles of our So
ciety have enlisted their interest in
the labor Of trying to make the con-
cert a pleasurable and a musical as
we'll as a financial success. Let our
people turn out freely to the proposed
entertainment at the Greenlaw
operahouse. The programme is
a most attractive one in every re-
spect, including the tower scene from
I'll Trovatore' and other beautiful
lyric seleotions, all under the dirsc-
ton of Prof. Levy. Seats may be Sc
cured at McCarthy's store, No. 293
Main street, up to five o'clock this
afternoon.

married citizens, chiefly the latter,
and all trades and calllngs, we're lib
orally represented at the Rentz-Sant-
ley exhibition. Plenty of applause
rewarded the efforts of the players.
and there was no lack of enjoyment,
judging from the expressions of enthu-
siasm, 1t was a paying crowd, and
the manager may well class his show
as a success. The skipping dance, by
half a dozen shapely feminines, was
set down as graceful and pleasant to
view. An enthusiastic visitor Gun

was more than worth the price of ad-
mission. A part of the singing was
pronounced good, and another part
less attractive, but the spectacular
features lacked nothing of shapely n
at5mical variety to carry out what
the programme says it is, viz, a nov-
city company. The comedy features

and entertaining in many respects.
