For the last three nights of the ensuing
week the return of the winsome and sprightly
Fay Templeton with her opera company OF
high kickers and sweet singers is announced
They will appear at the Grand in several Of
| their brightest operas.
THE CHAMBER CONCERT.
The assertion has been frequently made
that in proportion to its inhabitants st. Pau
has attained a degree of musical culture
which ranks second to no other city in the
| country. The assertion was never more
strikingly illustrated than on last Thursday
night at the chamber concert given at the
First Methodist Episcopal church.
The truth of the remark was doubly ap-
parent in the high character of the program,
| which com prised numbers classical and ar
| tistic in their range and scope and the per-
sonnet of the performers Although modest
in their claims to recognition, the ladies am
gentlemen participating, both from culture
| and temperament, are entitled to rank with
any professionals in their respective studies
in the country. 1t would be difficult,
for example, to find persons more gifted or
thoroughly en- rapport with their art than
Marie Gest Herr Paul Stoeving, Mr.. Sohns
or Prof. Titcomb, each one of whom has had
! the advantage of the best musical culture of
Europe.
AS intimated, the program on Thurs
day night was composed of must
cal gems rich in sentiment and
wealth of melody, and the numbers were
heard with delight by large audience and
one which was lavish il its tributes of appre-
citation. The entertainment was delightfully."-
varied with song, the vocal numbers of Mrs.
Gidden affording delightful contrast to the
more classical character Of the instrumen tai
mum bers. This was the first concert of the
second series and two more remain to be
given in April. They should be literally
patronized and encouraged.
THE OLYMPIC.
An entertaining show has been offered to
the patrons of the Olympic during the past
week to good business.
Commencing tomorrow night the origi
| nal Muldoon's Picnic company will open an
| engagement WITH McYone 81 Mason In the
star rolls, supported by strong cast which
includes the trained donkey Jerry and ii
strong olio. George Nelson, Willie La Fonte
Frank Harsall, May Neal and other new stars
will appear.
RICHARD III.
An event of unusual interest will be the
engagement Of Mr.. Thomas W. Keene, who
will appear at the Grand opera house for
three nights only as Richard III, commenc-
| ing Monday, April 8. Mr.. Keene has sur
rounded himself with first-class company,
the leading members of which have been
| with him for several seasons. He will also
| have the advantage of about 100 well-drilled
| auxiliaries, court ladies, uoblemen, pages,
aldermen, soldiers, madrigal boys, friars.
bishops, ETC., who are nov being rehearsed
by the stage manager of the company in bat
| tie scenes, professions, corona-
ton scenes, etc. The manager,
Mr. William r. Hayden, deserves great
| credit for the liberal mounting of this piece,
which has been the subject of the highest
| commendation wherever seen. All the rich
costumes and properties, such as banners,
| maces armors, spears, battle.a1es, etc., are
| historically correct, and the newly painted
scenes are faithful copies of the castles,
| prisons, palaces and battle fields, where those
dreadful deeds took place. Following is a
list of the scenes that were painted especially
for Mr. Keene by that celebrated English
artist, Mr.. Charles E. Petford:
ActI-Scene l. Court yard and keep of
the White tower Old London in distance.

THE NAY FESTIVAL
The arrangements for the May musical fes-
tival at the Exposition building are progress
ing admirably. Mass rehearsals of the chorus
| and orchestra are being held weekly, and
Signor Jannotta expresses the opinion that
the festival will exceed and eclipse any event
of the kind ever attem pied in this city,
A full mass rehearsal Is called for to-mor-
ROW nirht. at which the names of all the
members of the chorus win be taken for pub
| hcatiou in pamphlet form. A full attend
ance is therefore requested, for the reason
that those who fail to appear viii be omitted
from the publication.
