and the trained elocutionist's gift of utter
ance. but it was SO strong and ample in
style; SO natural and manly, SO far from all
Alterations SO direct and simple, and yet
SO rich and sympathetic, that it gave a new

THE BOSTON IDEALS.
1t is long time since such delightful |
operate performances have been given in this |
city as those of the Boston Ideals recently at
Peck's Grand Opera House. Yesterday
afternoon the company appeared before a
large audience and gave an even and finished |
rendering of the ever acceptable Bohemian |
Girl Tie charming airs with which this |
opera abounds were well rendered by Mr.. |
Whitney, Tom Karl, Geraldine UImer. Ma |
thilde Phillips and W. 81. Macdonald. The |
principals were all accorded a cordial vel |
come. The audience apparently could not |
get enough of Mr.. Whitney's singing. His
voice loses none OF its mellow resonance and |
power, although yesterday the ef
fects of cold were apparent in a slight |
hoarseness. In 'sThe Hearts Bowed Down, |
Mr. Whitney sang with especial tenderness /
and skill. Miss Geraldine Ulmer also scored |
another genuine success and the chorus sing |
ing was uniformly good. The orchestration
Is one of the best features of the opera and
1t was well cared for by Mr.. Studley's large |
corps of musicians.
In the evening Barbe Bleue was the attrac
ton. This opers, (which is seldom seen in
this city, was given by an exceedingly strong
cast. Messrs. Karl, Barnabee, rockingham.
Macdonald, MorselI. Miss Marie Stone. Miss
Mathilde Phillips, Miss Lizzie Burton taking
leading parts. The whole comPsny sang
with spirit and the opera was given with
good effect. The costumes were especially
rich and pretty. The audience was large and
took advantage of every opportunity for de-
handing an encore. The Ideals win be gladly
welcomed when they return to this city.
