The Opera House Well FILLED Last
Night.
Snyder & Grau's English Opera Company
gave a very good rendition OF Gilbert and
Sullivan's "Iolanthe" at the Opera House
last evening, although there was evidently
something wrong with the performance as a
whole, it striking the critical spectator as
being jerky and not running smoothly.
"Iolanthe, /" while pleasant and unique in
its plot, If such it may be said to have, is
not an opera TO take with the public as have
the much-abused "Pinafore," "Oliyette,"
sMascot," ard Patience" It will,
by another season, undoubtedly be
be laid aside to keep company with the
"Pirates of Penzance," the very title of
which is now almost unheard of. The airs
are not catching and lack the merry Jingle
and brightness the public now demands in
comic operas. The company last night was
familiar to Wilmingtonians, the members Of
1t having been here on several occasions
before. Many of the singers were annoyed
by colds and throat compla aints, making
| them appear TO disadvantage The
principal characters were Eugene Clarke
as Srephon, Louis DeLange as Lord
Chancellor, Helen Dayne as Iotanthc, Elma
nelaro as fairy Queen aud Bessie Grey as
PhylliS. AS whole the entertainment was
| enjoyable and well received by the large
audience, although il is very doubtful If the
piece would be favored with full house at
a second appearance. L0nis DeI.ange,
better recognized as the original
Banthorpe Of Patience" made a
laughable hit by the following jingle,
given as an encore to the hest known song
