 BUNNELL's MUSEUM
 ''Hazel Kirke," which is being presented at the museum this week, is known as the greatest dramatic success in it's field of America. Fenwick Armstrong as 'Dunstan Kirke' takes the part in clever manner, while G. J. Henderson as ''Pitticus Green" is irst-class and frequently brings down the house by his witty interpretation of his role Miss Lottie Blair as ''Hazel Kirke," however somewhat overdraws her part in her endeav- ors to do her best. The rest of the support is fair.
 THE BOHEMIAN GIRL AT cARLL's LAST EVEN
 ING.
 In spite of a rainy night, nearly every seat in the parquet at Carll's was occupied last evening by those who came to hear rendered by the Boston Ideals one of the most charm ing English operas ever written. In fact, the popularity of Balfe's Bohemian Girl seems never to abate. It is one of those compost tions which has taken a permanent place in public estimation and a position which pop uIar sentiment will for many years aid 1t in retaining. Perhaps few times in the history of the organization was the opera more favorably received or better sung. The audi ence was on the point of enthusiasm on sev- eral occasions and applauded every eff fort that called for approval (and they were not few) with commendable cordiality. The event, however, which characterized the engagement was the debut of Miss Zelie de Lussan, who made her first appearance on the professional operatic stage in the character of Airline. Miss de Lussan is to be credited with having made decidedly favorable impression. While we are not prepared to endorse all the flowery enco- miums to which her achievements have giv- en rise, we are pleased to chronicle her suc- and find them in great measure justi- fed. The lady is possessed of exceptional dramatic instinct, which, added to an inge- nuous manner, sprightliness of spirit as de- lightful as 1t was novel in native artiste, and gracsfulness of carriage, immediately won her place in the hearts of her auditors. Her voice is not powerful, but remarkably sweet in quality and her high notes clear cut and resonant Another newcomer and bidder for popular favor was w. H. Clark, who has already &C., quired position of considerable eminence in the rank of basso singers, but who made his bow with the Ideals for the first time as Dsvilshoof. Combining with rich, sonor ous voice of great compass commanding stage presence, he proved himself worthy successor of Nyron Whitney, whose laurels he seems well qualified to challenge. The vocal efforts of Miss Huntington were far bet ter than her histrionic endeavors, which showed g lack of appreciation of the possibil- ities of the role. Tom Karl was, as he is in all things, splendid and showed the inesse of a true artist. Mcdonald sang with ease and was well received
 The chorus and minor characters were full ly equal to the demands made upon them. The musical numbers that called for especial praise and elicited encorss were: "The Heart Bowed Down." "I Dreamt I Dwelt in Marble Halls" ''Then I'll Remember Thee' and "Fair Land of Poland, :" as we'll as 8 con certed selection in the third act. This afternoon the "Musketeers" will be presented and this evening Victor, The Blue Stocking" on which occasion an opportunity will be had to hear all the new members of the troupe, including Miss de Lussan, Miss Huntington and Mr. Clark.
