The whitley Dramatic Co.

The Whitley Dramatic Company have been
giving series Of standard plays at the opera
House during the week, with Ida Lewis as
star. The houses have not been large, out
the business has been enough to be pronta-
Bile. The company is rather better than the
average company brought here by Mr. White-
ley, Miss Lewis being fine looking woman
and very clever actress. She is surrounded
by good people, and the plays have been CIV
en- in pleasing manner, satisfactory to those
who have attended. To-day at matinee they
repeat "Jane Eyre" and this evening con
clude their engagement with "The Colleen
BawD."

BILE model" 1.-THE Mascotte" is one OF the
most enjoyable of comic operas-as full OF
fun and pretty music as an egg is full OF
meat; and has never yet been decently sung
here. The audience should be large one.

people, all except Miss Kellogg and Miss
Dickinson having appeared here last season.
OF Miss Kellogg the Toronto Globe said, june
27th: "Seldom has o singer appeared in To
ronto so thoroughly at home in the art Q
pleasing as Miss Fanny Kellogg. Not onl,
has she beautiful face and graceful carriage
but her pronunciation is clear, and her voic'
rich and pure, and exactly suited to the rem
dition of the songs which people love t.
hear. Her first song, given on the programme
as "Air Varie," by Rode, was pretty piece
of melody, but difficult of execution. Miss
Kellogg proved her right to have chosen it
by the apparent ease with which she gave
=, it. In response to an enthusiastic encore
she sang the pretty "Robin Song" OF Abt
Her third number was a quaint little piece
called, ga Bird in the Hand" which was
marked success, and which, being encored
, was repeated with quite as much acceptanc,
, as before. Miss Kellogg appeared also wit!
Signor Brignoli in duet, 1.-THE Night in Ma
ples," original with Brignoll himself, thi
being It's FIRST rendition in Canada The nj
is striking and beautiful, and the composition
and arrangement prove the Signor to be al
excellent musician as well as singer" o
Miss Dickerson, the n. Y. Times said "Mis
Bickerson, in.Chickering Hall last evening
dis played in her various selections u central
to voice, rich in its coloIin., and full of pow
or and volume, and she threw into her tones
that sympathetic quality which is Of more
. importance to the popularity of the concer
} singer than brillancy of execution"
