ADJUSTMENTS.

The engagement of Mestayer's "Tour-
lists" closed at the Opera house last night
to rousing audience, the matinee per-
Torrance also bringing out fine compile
ment of ladies, and on each occasion the
entertainment gave genuine pleasure to
the audience. The stuff that Tourists is
made of is as light as sea foam and just as
breezy and exhilerat1ng. But there is this
charm about it, the performance is in the
hands of people who are all original and
clever in their several speclalties.
This is the secret of its success, and it
demonstrated that while bad actors cannot
make good play shiRe, yet good artists
can raise the interest of a mediocre or
light drama to the highest level of enjoy
Rent and appreciation. Mr.. Messenger is
capital in his portrayal of a certain
phase of life, and the spscialties of Mr..
Lovey, Harry Clarke, Chas. Sturgess, and
Will Bray are all cleyerly executed. The
ladies are bright, piquant and charming.
Miss Vaugn, Miss Caldwell, Miss Holton
and Miss Hill are bright and pleasing, and
they contribute wonderfully to the enter
tainment. The vocal features of the play
are particularly pleasing, and in this re-
spect several of the company excet.

The AthenPu1s.

The performance of Robert and Bertram
by the dramatic division on last Sunday
was an immense success, was witnessed by
a very large and highly delighted audience
and proved in every respect to be the hit
of the season at the above temple of
amusement. Of course there were some
crudities, which on the first presentation
of piece requiring about thirty perform
ers, rapid changes, innumerable stage bus
mess, elaborate settings. ETC., were almost
unavoidable, but so little were these noticed
that the audience remained seated at times
almost spell bound until the very last mo-
ment of the play, high compliment to
the lady and gentlemen amateurs, as we'll
as the very efficient management. In def
erence to very unanimous desire, the
great spectacular comedy-fa will be
repeated tonight and it is safe to say that
the bare announcement will be sufficient
to fill the house again
with an audience in no wise inferior to the
last one in respect to numbers, culture or
intelligence. As heretofore stated the
piece is so full of pantomime, vocal and
melodramatic music, of action suited to
the word and word to action that the en-
tire play can be very readily understood,
even by those whose pathological attain
ments do notinclude knowledge of Ger
man, and it offers a rich well of amusement
and enjoyment to every one. Additional
rehearsals have served to bring about
greater perfection in dialogue, business
and music, and there is little doubt of a
complete, smooth and even ensemble"
Mr.. Stevenin has charge of Seibert's thea
ter orchestra, sure and additional proof
that everything will move like clock-work
As this will probably lie the last perform
ance of this great sensation during the
present season, our advice is to improve
the opportunity and go, laugh and grow
fat.

4 Great Musical Ercnt.

The coming season of italian and Eng
fish opera and grand combination con-
certs to be held at the Opera house in the
week beginning April 2, and which was
outlined in the GLOBE of last Sunday. is
enlisting the interest of all the music
lovers of our musical city. This event In
the musical world IS one that will bring
here such galaxy of famous artists and
concert organizations as was never before
brought together in the West, and as the
magnitude of the affair dawns upon Us we
are compelled to wonder at the enterprise
which has secured them and will bring
them here at one time. Such
stupendous array of world
renowned artists, supplemented by
two of the most popular glee clubs in the
country, besides an entire opera company
including its orchestra, and a picked or
chestra made up from the one in our city,
Minneapolis and Milwaukee, can only be
heard at rare intervals in a life time. and
could only be afforded on some grand oc-
casion such as that of the opening of the
Grand Opera in our sister city. Our peo-
pie are fortunate in their near proximity
to Minneapolis and will be able to enjoy in
their own Opera house all the extraordi-
nary attractions provided for the opening
of the new temple Of art in that city, as
nearly the same programme will be given
in each city.
Not the least of these attractions will be
the appearance of the two most famous
college glee clubs in the United States;
and already the alumni of both Amherst
and Oberlin living in this city,are making
preparations to receive and entertain the
boys. Concerning their singing,
the entire press of the various
places where they have given concerts
unite in expressions Of ihe most snthusi-
astic praise fer the character of the music
rendered, the fine manner III which it was
sung and they, one and all, speak of the
unbounded delight Of the large and over
flowing houses which have greeted them.
We could I'LL the paper with these notices
There will be friendly rivalry between
the representatives of the East and the
West, and which will please the most il is
hard to guess. Those who have been 80
fortunate as to hear both clubs hesitate to
express an opinion. They state that the
Amhsrsts are the more fun producing and
the Oberlins the most successful in render
ing part songs. These clubs have never
before boon heard on alternate nights. as
they will be here, and there has therefore
bsen no such opportunity to hear and COM
pare them under like circumstances. A
concert by either alone would fill an opera |
house, but on the occasion of their ap- |
pearances other attractions quite equal to |
them will be on the programme.
Concerning the nights of Italian opera, they |
will be nights of such attractions as have sell |
dom been vouchsafed to any community. |
The artists engaged are among the very
first in the world, and are those selected |
by that king of impressarios, Max |

few weeks ago Mr.. w. o. Davies, the
travelling auditor of the st. Paul & Duluth
Railroad company, announced his inten-
ton of removing to Poc&hontas, Virginia,
where he is interested in the management
of extensive coal mines. The announce
ment that so valued an employe was to
sever his connection with the road was re-
ceived with general regret, and it was de-
cided on the part of the officers and en-
ployes, with whom he was great favorite,
to signalize his departure in some substan-
tial manner.
In accordance with this idea a farewell
reception and supper was arranged to take
place last night at the Merchants Exchange
restaurant in Gilfllan's block. Invitations
were issued to few friends and at s o'clock
last night the company consisting of about
forty gentlemen, sat down to a dainty and
sumptuous spread.
The tables would have delighted the eye
of Lucullus himself, so bright and elegant
were all the appointments. The menu
was gotten up by Mr.. Hurd, and it was
served to the queens taste. 1t comprised
all the delicaces, and the substantial re-
past was washed down with coffee and ex-
ira dry.
After ample justice had been done the
spread, Mr.. A. B. Robert arose, and, in be-
half of the officers and employees, he pre-
scented Mr.. Davies with superb gold watch
and chain.
He spoke as follows:
FRIEND DAVIES: In behalf of your friends
here assembled, the sorrowful, yet pleasant
duty has been assigned me to bid you good
bye for US all. In your departure to new
fields we know you will maintain that
strict integrity and high character so long
borne among US. We know as the years
go on you will find friends, but no warmer
hearts than you leave behind. And now,
friend Davies, as slight token of our sin
cere friendship and high estimation of
your many virtues, 1 am delighted to
present you with this beautiful Offering,
which we hope will sometimes remind you
of ''the boys" who will rejoice to be re-
membered as your friends and who,
wherever you may go, will always wish you
the completest realization OF your highest
ambition.
The watch, a magnificent hunting case
gold repeater, was designed by Frohne s.
Mansfield. The outside case is engraved
with the letters ''W. o. D." being the mon
ogram of Mr. Davies. The inside case is
handsomely engraved, and bears the fol-
lowing inscription: presented to W. O..
Davies by the officers and employees of the
st. Paul s. Duluth railroad, 1888" At
tached is a beautiful and costly gold chain
| and charm, the latter being engraved with
the letters "St. p. & D."
The recipient expressed his gratitude in
a neat speech, thanking the donors for
their handsome reception, and for the sub
stantial and valuable souvenir. A number
of toasts and short addresses followed
after which the very pleasant gathering
adjourned. Much of the success of the
reception is to be attributed to Mr.. w. h.

massacre the murderers Toasted on the
bodies. They subsequently cleaned out
the skulls and placed them in their huts as
mementoes of the occasion. Capt. Penne-
rather went up toward the village, but was
unable to find the slightest trace of any
survivors. Some cabin fittings, however,
were discovered, as well as some ropes,
near the village. The fittings were paint
ed green. Some distance to the westward
of the locality where the vessel was sunk a
life-buoy was found by the Rev. Mr.. Mar
lane. The name of the brig ''Tavione
Auckland was on the buoy, thong h it was
uncertain whether this belonged to the
sunken vessel or not.

Turner Hal Concert.

The concert of Seibert's orchestra to be
given this evening at Turner hall, as will
be seen by reading the programme below,
will be an unusually fine one. It will en-
brace selections by Verdi, Beethoven, Wag-
ner, Strauss, Suppe and Labitzky, for the
orchestra, a bass solo by Buckelew, and a
trio by the Jennison boys. The following
is the programme:

Seihert,s Orch sfrn.

The superiority of Seibert's orchestra
was made manifest by the concerts given
by the Emma Abbott orchestra last Sun
day afternoon and evening. AS the Alb
bott orchestra borrowed the music used
on these occasions from Mr.. Seibert it was
easy to discover which organization hand
led it the best. One single overture may
be taken as a test,-the Raymond over
ture, by Thomas. Some parts
OF this composition requires the most
delicate handling, yet for the
want of this, and because of
generally rough and unnecessarily ro-
bust way of treating the whole overture
the beauty of the whole composition was
lost. There was not selection rendered
during the afternoon or evening by the
Abbott orchestra that could not have been
better given by Seibert's orchestra.

Rhed.

The patrons of the higher department of
DRAMA art are promised an unusually
rich treat in the appearance at the Opera
house the coming week of Mile Rhea, the
distinguished French society actress. Her
engagement commences on Thursday
evening and comprises three evening and
matinee performance.
| She is supported by Mr.. VIM. Harris and
good company, and her reception in the
eastern cities has amounted to an ovation.
Her acting is said to be marked by high
degree of finish and culture, and she
possesses a magnetic and intense per-
| sonalty that exercises great charm over
| an audience.
She will open with 'Adrienne, the
Actress" play made famous by having
had for its opponents such artists as
Rachel, Modjeska and Ristori.
On Friday evening the unequal Match"
by Tom Taylor will be given. At the
matinee she will appear in "Camille," and
in the evening, ''The Adventures" by Alex.
Dumas will be given. In all of the above
she has won golden opinions and achieved
a distinguished reputation.
From a notice of her debut in "Adri-
enns" at Booths thsatsr, New York, tsle-
graphed the Boston Globe, we extract the
following:
Mile Rhsa selected for her debut a role
which has tried the splendid talents of such
artists as Rachel, Ristori, Bernhardt and
Modjsska. To fail to I'LL its requirements
would be ruin; to succeed would be to place
her name beside those of the great artists
above mentioned. As write, 1 recall the
entrance of Nelson a. Juliet, when she
first appeared in this city. Before she had
spoken her first speech she had WOE the
sympathy and good wishes of the entire
house. Rhes is possessed of personality
not unlike that of Nelson. When she
swept into view of the audience in the
grsen-room scene, her fine stage presence,
her regal bearing, her beautiful mobile
face of character and intelligence, her
1.-the and graceful figure, exquisitely cos
tuned, combined to produce q marked and
favorable impression upon her audience.
who greeted her with tremendous out
burst of applause. 1t was a most ROYAL
welcome, and as the artistic modestly bowed
her acknowledgements, her manner was SO
irresistibly charming that she but added
''fuel to the fire." The audience grew more
enthusiastic, redoubled their applause. and
it was some minutes before the actress
could speak the first words of her part.

The Mag Festival Rehearsals.

On Thursday afternoon next the ladies
of the Thomas festival chorus are invited
to meet Signor Jannotta at Turner hall at
3:45 d. m. when the music of the soprano
and alto parts will be rehearsed. The gen
tlemen will convene at the same place at s
o'clock on Thursday evening. These part,
or class rehearsals, will be found to be of
the greatest benefit to singers, giving
them almost the same value as individual
instruction. Tickets and numbers for
seats will be distributed at these rehear-
sails. 1t is probable that the chorus will
be somewhat reduced by the falling out of
members who will find themselves not
competent to sing the music, and who will
think it proper to resign their places
rather than retard the work. The time for
preparation is short, the space is limited
and the chorus is large.

Faust.

Easter Sunday is the time set for the
performance of the above tragedy, the i'm
mortal Gnthe's sublime masterpiece. The
day is peculiarly fit for its rendition, it
being the period of the rejuvenation of
the weird, profound and learned magician,
soolar, doctor and philosopher who, utterly
weary of his fruitless efforts and vain at
tempts to break through the mysteries of
the Divine, forms a compact with the in
fernsl, self-conscious, however of his abili-
ty to battle his satanic comrade, guide and
tutor. This great play has been rendered
here ere this, but always in so incomplete
or questionable shape as to
leave a desire for greater quantity
as we'll as better individual quality.
and this desire it is the intention
of the dramatic division to crafty in
measure scarcely to be thought of on any
but first-class stage, fully equipped and
commanding large number of artists.
Mr.. John Penner will assume the character
of Faust. He is thoroughly familiar with
the part. and will endow it with all the
force, energy and Evolutionary b-illiancy
for which the gentleman is Justly distin-
guished. Miss Julia Riedt. than
whom a more talented or painstaking.
studious and accomplished lady amateur
it were hard to find, will render the
role of Margaret or sweet "Gretchen," of
itself sufficient assurance that while the
reading will be perfect, the costumes and
action will be we'll nigh faultless. The
great play will be cast to the full strength
of the division, great care having been
taken to distribute the parts most suitably
and fttingly. Particular interest will at
tach to the Interpretation of the difficult
and powerful part OF Mephistopheles, on
this occasion assumed by Mr.. Louis Stern,
fervent and gifted disciple of Thespis,
formerly member of the celebrated am
ateur club of AK la Chapelle, and whence
the reputation has preceded him, that
Mr.. Stern's "Mephisto" is one of the very
best and most original, deserving of equal
if not superior rank in the best concep-
tions of the part on the stage, including it's
professional opponents. Literally perfect,
self possessed, loving the subtle intrics-
cies of the part, Mr.. Stern will not stop
short of highly successful rendition. A
grand feature of the play will be the rem
dition of the celestial prologue, never be-
fore attempted here, as also the populous
and popular promenade scene. In short,
in point of costumes, new scenery and
powerful accessories, the tragedy will be
given on scale never before attempted
here and in a measure thoroughly BETTING
the work as well as the joyous festRl day
which will witness its production.

CatIender'S Consolidated Spectacular Cot
Ored H,Hstrels.
Lovers of pure, genuine negro minstrelsy
will be pleased to learn that this noted
organization will appear at the Opera
house next Wednesday evening. This
combination includes three distinct COM
panies-Callender's Spectacular Minstrel.,
European Qate Haverly's) Minstrels and
Csllender's Georgia Minstrels. Surely
there must be enough talent in these com
panies TO furnish the most exacting audi
ence with adequate amusement. The fol-
lowing, concerning Callender's consolid.-
ton, is from the Boston (Mass) Herald Of
January Is, 1888:
'The members of the troupe are dark
complexioned individuals and include both
sexes. Last night in thu first part they
numbered some fifty odd. Eight of them
were females, and these furnished the So
prano element of the choruses. The first
part of the programme, or, rather, its rep
resentation, occupied about half of the
time, and this was largely because almost
everything was encored. Most of the
songs were new and the tenor, baritone
and bass soloists were in fine voice. The
1uuuJ uucu were IN q S6E1l-c1rCl6 IN 'front.'
and were ten in number, five with bones
and five with tambourines. The male vo-
calists were next behind, then the instru-
mental musicians, and at the top the So
pranos. The interlocutions were amusing
and judiciously interspersed. There
was no burnt cork. The performers
had unblsachable complexions. They
were native and to some climate born.
They were all ''artists" in their line. The
second part, like the first, was in many of
its features lawfully funny" Armstrong
and Billy Kerssnds were recalled until they
were absolutely blown" from exhaustion.
The Zouaye marching and musket drill
were something that no spectator could
help admiring. 1t was not a burlesque,
but genuine, serious, picturesque exhibit

''the Consolidated Sextet," and the ''inish-
ing touch" entitled ''The Steamboat Land
ing" were only the closing features of q
bill in every way attractive. The audience
could not have been larger inside the
walls, and the enthusiasm, while tremen-
dous, was only merited tribute to per
formers who win applause solely By their
talents"

The engagement of the Emma Abbott
Opera company came to close last Wed
day evening, and it will be long retained
in the recollection as one OF the most en-
joyable seasons of music ever given in
st. Paul. The operas last week were "Ro-
meo and Juliet, ON Monday, ERA Dia-
volo," on Tuesday, elixir of Love-" at
the matinee, and LA Sonnambula" and
the ''Miserere'' scene from I'll Trovatore,' p
Wednesday evening. The GLOBE has fully
reviewed the operas at the time of their
rendition and nothing remains to be said
but to express the hope that Miss Abbott
and her excellent company of artists will
favor st. Paul with their presence in the
not distant future.
