son.
PRINCESS IDA.
Carll's Opera House was filled by a large
and appreciative audience last evening to
witness the first presentation in this city of
Gilbert and Sullivan's latest work, ssThe
Princess Ida" The opera is just what 1t
claims to be, respectful perversion of
Tennyson's Princess" The dialogue is
witty and the music meIodious and as q whole
resembles the PIRATES of Penzance'' more
than any Of the previous works of the COM
posers. The costumes are elegant and the
groupings and tableaux very artistic. The
opera was very well presented last evening,
the male characters being specially well taken.
Mr.. Philip Branson sang and acted s'Prince
Hilarion" very well indeed and he was ably
supported by Messrs. @. 81. Clarke and
George Paxton as '-CyriT' and "Florian.',
These three gentlemen have excellent voices
and they sang in perfect tune and in their
acting left nothing to be desired. Miss Lii
liam Diard, though q painstaking artistic, Is
hardly equal to the role of princess Ida"
She was favorably received, how
ever, and had to respond to two
or three encores. Miss Florence Benz
lister as Lady Psyche'' and Miss Jeanne
Herrick as Melissa were modest and pref
ty and Miss Jennie Reiffarth made a very
laughable Lady Blanche" Mr.. Kohule az
king CANA" received an encore for his very
funny song II can't think Why" and Sig.
Brocolini sang the little allotted to King Hill
debrand very finely. The most striking
novelty of the evening was the appearance of
the three sons of liking CANA" clad in COM
plete armor. Their trio, Fighting is our
trade" was very funny and very well done.
The chorus was. adequate and they sang in
good time and tune, but the orchestra was
not half large enough, o fact which greatly
marred the pleasure of the evening.
@@Jennie Seely and John Weaver, two fusi-
lives from Birmingham justice, were arrested
in this city last evening and locked up for
safe keeping at the request of Chief Martin
who will take them to Birmingham this
morning.
