METROPOLITAN THEATER.
The brief season of the Comley- Barton
Opera Company began at the Metropolitan
Theater last night to a fair audience. But
the company deserved far better house. 1t
is the largest comic opera company that has
ever been here. 1t is the most fully ap-
pointed, the most richly costume1, and
by all odds the best mauaged-there
not being, from the beginning to the end Of
the lobg opera "Olivette single hitch
or the slightest delay. Added to this, the
company placed within the orchestra rail the
largest orchestra seen here for years, there
being sixteen pieces. The company well fills
the large stage Of the Metropolitan, and
while il is not balanced as it should be. the
chorus being deficient in male voices, it is
without question capable of presenting comic
opera in more attractive form than
any company that has been here.
Miss Jansen is not an Emily Melville
in song, nor Rose Stella in comedy,
but with the support she had, she gave
Olivette quite as effectively as either of them,
for she had all the aids that large troupe,
strong orchestral combination, fine cos.
tumery, and excellent comedians in support
give. We have had better tenors and
bassos than the Comley- Barton troupe pre-
sents US, but no better comedians in song than
John Howson and Digby Bell-and so on
the comparison in like manner might be ex-
tended OF course-for that is the rule now
sdays-the piece was given with remark
able display of the female form divine, and
all the attractiveness of brilliant tableau,
dance in abandon, and striking and novel

employed have evidently studied the art that
resides in these methods of stage business and
display, for all it Is worth. Mics Joyce, who
has a deep, rich contralto, made very
favorable impression, and with Miss
Jansen and Mr.. Campbell was the
recipient of encores. Indeed, encores were
too frequent last evening, and this may be
taken as an indication of the satisfaction Of
the auditors with the performance. There
was no place in the cast for Mr.. Barton, but
he will be heard later on in the engagement

which will introduce the whole company, and
in addition full military band in the grand
march. As the shortcomings of the company
are few and not grievous /; as its merit is OF
good order and well sustained, and as its per-
formances do not carry the auditor to the eX
tremes of enthusiasm or displeasure it is
fair judgment to pronounce the entertain
ments offered by the company superior, and
to suggest for them liberal encouragement.
