AMUSEMENT NOTES.

one in the amusement line in st. Paul.
The Rice Evangeline company occupied
the boards for the first three evenings OF
the week, and did a fair though not
large business. The company has been
considerably changed since 1t last ap-
reared here. Harry Hunter, the Lone
Fisherman, is missed, for though Mr..
Harris acts the part well he is not equal
to the original of the character. MISS
Tarkelle is good in the role of Gabriel,
mt a trife TOO loud, and by look and
action seeks to make her lower extrem-
cites the chief attraction of her role.
Miss Richardson is very good vocalist
but very poor actress. The enterteln-
ments. however, were well received.
For the present week we have for the
first three nights and Wednesday matt
nee, the FAY Templeton Comic Opera
company, which will present the latest
Eastern rage. THE Narcotic" An eX-
change. speaking OF the opera and the
company. saws: The music of the piece
as whole is very satisfactory, but some
of the solos and duets are charming.
The orchestration was highly satisfactory
and the chorus is numerous enough and
so faultlessly drilled as to produce all the
fine effects which have made this operetta
so great a favorite. One striking feature
of the company and which adds great
charm to their work, is the comparative
youth of the performers and the purity
of tone in singing obtained
thereby Miss Templeton is charm
ing soubrette, piquant and rogulsh,
with contralto voice OF great sweetness,
and will be found equally engaging as
Olivette tonight. Mr.. Crane is admlra-
bly, fitted for the lover role, and not SO
far behind was Mr.. Tempeton and Miss
Vane. Miss Coleman's cornet solo was
cordially received and well merlted the
recall she obtained. The costumes OF the
entire company were also new and no
ticeably fine, and added not little to the
pleasure of the scene their pretty dances,
drills and situations presented.
On Friday and Saturday evenings Ha-
verly's New Mastodon Ministries will ap-
pear. The company has been here a
number of times recently, and has never
failed to draw full houses or to give
abundant satisfaction to The public. The
company has been strengthened since its
last appearance here, and will no doubt
co large business.
On Monday and Wednesday evenings
of next week Miss Clara Louise Kellogg
will appear in concert at the Opera house,
assisted by a corps of artists of unriyalled
excellence Tagliapietra is the best living
baritone, and has won laurels in every
capital in Europe. Miss Clara Poole, the
contralto, is recognized as second only to
Miss Cary, and has won many warm en-
comiums from the press and public.
Brignol, the tenor, is so well known that
no comment as to his ability is necessary
Of course it is not essential to say a word
about Miss Kellogg. Her fame is as wide
as the civilized world, and she is every
where regarded as a peerless soprano,
equal TO any of the century. The con-
certs will, no doubt, be the greatest events
Of the season.
The New York and Boston papers have
spoken in terms of unqualified praise of
the organization of the Kellogg concert
troupe. From all that is said of this
company of artists, there can be no doubt
that it will be the most brilliant and sue
cessful musical venture of season that
promises to be unusually rich in singers
and virtuosi. Miss Kellogg's name in
itself is tower of strength, for she is
more popular to-day than ever before,
and she has associated with her only
first-class artists like Signor Brignoli,
Sig. Tagliapietra, M. Adamowski, vio-
linist; Miss Clara Poole, and the distin-
guished pianist, S. Liebling. SIgnor
Brignoli remains the only operate tenor
in America who retains the pure Tuscan
style of singing, once so dear to connois-
seurs NJ Adamowski, it will be remem-
bered, is the young Polish violinist, who,
three years ago, made such sensation
in philharmonic circles.
On she 18th inst. Mr. Frank Msye viii
begin weeks engagement in tragic
roles. He has made very commendable
success thus far in his new departure
The Detroit Epening Meas, speaking of
Mr. Mayo's performance of "Virginius"
says:
frank Mayo and his splendid COM
pany were seen at their best last evening,
in 'Virginius.' 1t was a magnificent all
round performance, and the only wonder
is now that stars like Lawrence Barrett,
Edwin Booth and John Mccullough have
dared to come here so many times with
sticks and 'supers' to support them.
Mr. Mayo is the first tragedian to give
these grand old tragedies as they should
long ago have been produced-with COM
petent people and accessories. Taking
the rank and file into consideration, one
must acknowledge that no tragedian was
ever better supported in the history of
the local stage The performance of
'Virginius' last night was almost rev.
citation. Mr.. Mayors VirgiuiuS rose at
times to the height of grandeur"
The Rhys string quartette, of Mime
apolis, will give concert under the aus
pices of the st Andrews society of this
city, on Friday evening next, Nov Is.
The company is composed of Prof S II.
Rhys, Sammy Rhys, aged s, Ira, aged 5,
and Willie, aged 7. The entertainment
promises to be unique and in every way
enjoyable.
The concert by the Great Western
band, at the Atheneum this afternoon at
O'Clock, will undoubtedly be an excel
lent one. Besides Seibert's Frontier march
the programme embraces selections from
Auber, Samborn, Daase, Strauss, Da-
more, Suppe and Brahm, and two vocal
numbers.
