very intelligent and appreciaive audi
| ence was In attendance at Leubriei Theater
last night to witness our juveniie on their
| hrst appearance In that very absu6, but in
| some particulars quite entertaining opera,
| Patience, which draws upon professionals
Tor the best OF their abilities to mxe "go.n
it Is usually difficult TO write up an ANA
| leur performance and leave behind personal
feeling, but the performance last night is an
eIception-and if it were not, this difficulty
would be forestalled by the apparent careful
M amer In which the programme vas made
up, In not partIcularizing the participants
IN the lew features OF the opera. The open
| ing act WAS trying one upon juvenile
| performers, in that it ia the hight of diff
| Guilty for youth and beauty 10 pretend the
| antipode OF temperament necess,ryfo in
| terpret the Twenty Lovesick Maidens WEI
But it was done, and with splendid results.
Usually one has 10 draw in the scale of sge
TO realize maidenhood in the cast Of comic
opers, but last night the strain upon the i'm
aglRation was 10 magnify cradle midgets into
that condition of maturity-and it was not
much OF tax upon the auditor for
each and every one, by their perfect
Interpretation OF characters assigned
them, were maIurely aesthetic and cor
rectly manly and maidenly in their
department. The lyric part of the plot wss
exceedingly well done, especially in the har-
mony of the choruses-alI showing evidence
of having been we'll drilled in voice, express
sion, pose and gesture. OF the specialties
we must mention the "Gobble. Gobblen duet,
by Master Willie Nowland ("Reginald Bun
thorne'') and Mics Blanche Miles ('.Lady Sa-
phira,") the latter infusing into the song all
Of esrnestness as well as correct notation, as
would have called upon a professional for
repetition. OF course the duet had to be re-
peated last night 10 safety the demands made
by a delighted audience. The "Big Fiddle"
solo by Miss Bertha Fuld c'Lsdy Jane, one of
the raptuous maidens) was also we'll executed;
so well 10 receive a hearty recall. Miss
Carrie Spot Smith (tPatience"), but for her
lack Of self-possession in the early part OF
the performance, made quite an impression.
She sings SO correctly, with a voice smooth,
sweet and winsome-wonderfHlly under cor
troll for one of so tender age. In colo and
duet she WAS equal to the most difficult de-
mands of the score. Master Lawson Tread
we'll ("Archibald Grosvenor") acquitted
himself we'll in the lyric aud dramatic parts
of his character. OF the dragons,
the little midget, Master Eugene Now
land, was the center Of attraction. What
this little astray from the nursery does not
know about the lines or score of Patience
would not be missed if it did not appear.
Oftentimes he prompted his elder by being
sin with the baton" when the others were
waiting for the cue. Aud there was a cute
ness in sill that he did that made him the
object of general attention. A feature of the
get up" of the opera is the apparent design
in selecting from the prettiest and loveliest
of our youths of both sexes, and the elegance
OF dressing. Prof. Hsndworker has exem-
plifed his ability as director of opera in the
splendid training manifested by the little
ones in last nights performance. We APP
