METROPOLITAN THEATER. - The Winter
Garden Opera Company appeared at the
Metropolitan Theater last evening to good
house. The troupe embraces some q per
cons. They produced Bales spectacular
opera, "Satanella." The scenery and me.
ohauical effects were excellent, tue machin-
lists work was we'll done, and the desired eff
fec:s produced without law. The burden
of the piece rested upon Miss Ethel Lynton
and Fred Bornemaau. The former is very
attractive in person, of excellent stage
presence, and has sweet, flexible, but
| not very strong soprano voice. She has
much moro than ordinary dramatic ability,
MIR. BornemAnn is basso of much power
and en- admirable actor. Miss Helen Har-
rington. mtzzo soprano, of medium strength,
and Mr.. Messmer. tenor, furnished the chief
support. The male chorus was quite strong
So much cannot be said for the remainder of
the troupe. The piece was well mounted
and produced with promptness and good
costunery, and with the transformation
scene. the view in 'Hades, and the mechan-
ical effects and calcium lights, made up
spectacle that WAS entertsining. Miss Lynton
sang the gem OF the evening, :" The Power of
| Love" and received a warm encore. She
was also called before the curtain at the close of
the fourth act. She and MIR. BOrnemann will
prove faverites. If the support on the female
side was better the company might claim
some praise for its musical effort, which can
not be accorded, however, except in the IL
stances mentioned. Incidental TO the opera,

psared. The same piece will be presented
