Haverly's Broad street Opera House
WAS well filled last evening, to witness
the rendition OF that charming and
popular comic opera Fledermaus. The
casts OF the play are rendered with
ability by the several artists to whom
they are assigned. The music is light
and catching, being in Strauss happiest
vein, which cannot fail to become more
popular than ever with tho music
loving public.
The bost scenes are In the second and
third acts, the rmer fancy ball,
where wine, masks, runaway husbands
and SLY wives make things lively and
picturesque; the latter a prison office,
to which the director hurries straight
from the ball while yet the wine con-
trolls his brain, and where he finds his
turnkey almost helplessly intoxicated.
The desire OF each to keep from tho
nther his condition is entirely comical.
The opera ends up with all things
ado smooth and the general pleas
u il manifested in II light and taking
cl orus. Don't fail to zoe the oper a
before it is taken off of the boards at
Hayer)y's
