Theatrical Managers Work Hard for Their
Money-Music in the Air. Written in

Wonderful Show on Earth-Dramatic
Miscellany,
Mr. Charles Eaines. Of the st. Paul Opera
house, is out OF town taking q rest. which is
greatly needed. BE has briefly laid aside every
thing pertaining to the art which holds q
mirror upto nature, and gone to quaf respite
and repenthe from natures own bounteous
and benignant bosom. In 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 he
received from show parties everywhere. This
demonstrates to some extent the trouble that
1t costs to run frst-class theater and have
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.

The Chicago Church Choir Opera company,
as previously announced, will appear IN
"Patience' at the Opera house August 5,
and 5. or this performances an exchange
says:
"There are many reasons why our people
may look for q 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, Messrs. Gilbert & Sullivan,
and its satire is directed against the disciple
of atheticism-Oscar 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 oil
| 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 anC
| 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 grea'
strength of this company lies in the fact tina
| the artists, the chorus, the orchestra, tn,
costumes of the ladies and the brilliant uni
forms of the gentlemen combine to give
completeness of ensemble never before equal
ed in this country"
The temperance in Sr. Paul of the Chicag,
Church Choir has special local Significance
from the fact that young lady, quite vel
known In st. Paul musical circles, is to appea
as one Of the leading soloists-Miss Eft
Hawkins, daughter of Capt. w. D. Hawkins
who is to appear in the character OF "PO
tienee.' This opera is the pronounced success
of the company, and the singing an
acting of Miss Hawkins is pronounced fea
ture of the entire rendition. Miss Hawkin
made her first appearance as singer in publ
at the Opera house in this city in 1878. tn

children of the city in which Miss Hawkins

of the opinion that she is one of the mo
promising soloists yet educed from the pr,
ductiveness of the great Northwest.
