This was in the opinion of the l

The ! famous Englishmau is drawing large aud l fences in this country. Seats for the lecture | can be obtained at the Mathushek piano
 rooms. Manager Carll will next Monday present | | at his opera house Rice's Standard Comic l | Opera company in new work entitled | lieutenant Helene,'' which will be pro- | duced by fifty lyric artists in style of un- | | usual splendor. This opera, which has just | | concluded three weeks run in Philadelphia, | | is spoken of as one of the most brilliant and | | original blendings of mirth with melody ever | produced in this country. It is composed by | Herr Catenhusen, a colleague of the famous | Strauss, 8 musician under whose baton [ Strauss works were first performed in Amer | | ica. | THE PALMER AND ULMER IDEAL OPERA COMPANY | -FATNITzA. In first performance, even by profession | | als, many hitches and mistakes are liable to l
 occur and many alterations, cutting here and | | adding there are found to be necessary. At | | first performance, then, of amateurs, any | thing but complete one is expected and it | ! is common for many to attend out of com | pliment and with the firm expectation of | being bored to death. To say that last even |
 ing's rendering of ''Fatinitza' by the Palmer | and Ulmer Ideal Opera company came |
 under the rule, would be unjust. Although l they were all novices and strangers 1 in the arts of the professional stage, with the 1
 exception of their past few weeks of study, | they were equal to the task, making their | debut great success. It is not to be SUD- posed that the opera was rendered complete l in all respects, but 1t was nevertheless, sur prisingly well done and it argues well for the | company's future. If their improvement is | in keeping with the work they have already | done they cannot fail to meet with great pop
 ularity. The leading members of the cast | are well chosen. The chorus is strong | and we'll trained and the orchestra an excel
 lent one under able leadership, last evening
 being their second interpretation of the score with ali present. Praise is due the manage ment and all who took part. Miss Jessie | Leigh, 8 Hartford young lady, as ''Vladi- mar," 1" will doubtless make Q hit when she allows her enthusiasm to cool. She has an excellent soprano voice with some notes of 1
 uncommon richness. Her acting is charac terized by vivacity and spirit which, with l her pretty face and figure, will make her de-
 cidedly popular. She will have to direct her | attention to the curbing of her spirit, which | causes her to overdo her part at present. and |
 she will also have to bear in mind that as "Vladimar'' she has no skirts on to conceal her stopping, which | at times gives her an awkward appearance. |
 She is young lady of great promise, show
 ing remarkable aptness and possessing gen. erous amount of talent. Miss Lottie Korn,
 from Meriden, admirably sustained and sang | the part of Lydia" Her voice, high so- prano though not of great volume, is clear | and bird like and shows much cultivation. | Her solos were greeted with much applause | and repetitions demanded. Her acting was | excellent for a first performance and she ap- peared very much at ease. MT. HiIlRrd, | who sustained the character of the 1 'sWar Correspondent aroused much | enthusiasm with his admirable singing, |
 the solo My Native Land" bringing l forth a shower of applause, to which he re- | sponded third time. While not possessing | the art of a Fessenden, his voice is of fine | quality snd his command of it shows excel | lent training. In him the company possess l 8 tenor which they may justly be proud of | and with experience he will doubtless culti- | vate talent for acting which will make him
 doubly valuable. MT. Thomas Benham. as |
 General Kantchukotf, evinced a talent for
 acting, but was unable to do justice to the | vocal part of the character Nervousness |
 probably prevented him from using his |
 voice at it's best, but he will doubtless be |
 able to overcome this. Mir. c. G. Homan f
 did will as 'Stipen'' and MT. Arthur Sin clair appropriately voiced and acted the | port of stMustapha." All connected with
 the performance did much better than could
 have been expected and nothing but praise
 was given by the audience. The costuming,
 scenery, stage effects, etc, were frst-class
 Mir. Max Figman, the stage director. and Mr.
 H. G. Foster, musical director, have reason f
 to be proud of their success and the mana
 gers are to be congratulated. There will be
 another performance this evening and mat
 inee tomorrow. We trust that liberal sup.
 port will be given the enterprise.
