Mr.. Charles Eaines. of the st. Paul Opera
house, is out OF town taking a rest, which Is
greatly needed. BE has briefly laid aside every
thing pertaining to the art which holds a
mirror upto nature. and gone to quaf respite
and repenthe from natures own bounteous
and benignant bosom. plain United States
language, he has gone to roll
on the grass mid the buttercups and daisies.
Had he chosen to rest his limbs here he could
have made him O. bed of the kilograms that ne
received from show parties everywhere. This
demonstrates to some extent the trouble that
1t costs to run a first-class theater and haYe
to deal with class of people who are PAM
pered and petted, under the starring system,
by the powers Of earth until they get into the
habit OF debating terms to everybody. They
can't dictate to Charlie Haines, and yet the
cream of the profession will appear at his
Opera house next season. Hence those dead
loads Of kilograms.
CHURCH CHOIR OPERA COMPANY.
The Chicago Church Choir Opera company,
as previously announced, will appear In
Patience" at the Opera house August 8,
and 5. OF this performance an exchange
says:
"There are many reasons why our people
may look for most superior entertainment.
In the first place the opera Is the wittiest and
most musical work of the most popular com.
posers Of the age, MessIs. Gilbert & Sullivan,
and its satire is directed against the disciple
of 9theticism-Os Wilde and his followers.
In the second place the characters are con-
fided to people who not only excel as singers
but who come nearer to being the ideals OF
the authors than have yet been seen in Chicago
if we may believe the entire press Of that city.
The pride of Chicago. however, is the pride
Of the west, for the members of this COM
pany, though now of Chicago, were once of
the "prairies of The west" Jessie and Josie
Bartlett, Jeanne Herrick, Jennie Dutton and
several Of the chorus ladies are from the
interior of this state and Iowa. Others are
from Wisconsin and Minnesota, while MANY,
of course, are natives OF Chicago. The great
strength Of this company lies in the fact that
the artists, the chorus, the orchestra, the
costumes of the ladies and the brilliant uni
forms of the gentlemen combine to give q
completeness Of ensemble never before equal
ed in this country"

from the fact that a young lady. quite well
known In st. Paul musical circles, is to appear
as one of the leading soloists-Niss Eta
Hawkins, daughter of Capt W. D. Hawkins
| who is to appear in the character of spa
| tience." This opera is the pronounced success
| of the company, and the singing and
| acting Of Miss Hawkins is pronounced fea-
ture of the entire rendition. Miss Hawkins
made her first appearance as singer in public
| at the Opera house in this city in 1878, the
occasion having been concert by the school
children of the city in which Miss Hawkins
then but Is years of age, carried off the
bouquets. Since thenlshe has received constan.
| instruction under Miss Emma Baker, also 6
member of the Church Choir company
and other teachers; and it will
| be gratifying to her st. Pau
friends to know that her progress has beer
| such as to WIN from some of the most severe
musical critics of Chicago most enthusiastic
concentrations, coupled with the expression
of the opinion that she is one of the mos,
promising soloists yet educed from the pro-
| ductiveness of the great Northwest.
