St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1885-11-27

Us representative. one always sings well,
but yesterday seemed imbued with the
very spirit of mirth. Without
trenching upon bouffe, she can give
wider range to a heel movement
than any soprano-of the better sort
known to our stage. Macdonald as De
Brissac, Morsell as Contran and FrOthing-
ham as Bridaide were always ideally"
good. "Ideally' in the applied sense, which
obtains in connection with this company.
1t is given to few men to simulate drunken
ness ION the STACEY without exaggeration.
1t has been given to Mac. Morsell sings
better than ever. The GLOBE has taken
occasion to say that he was good-yes, a
very good, tenOre gratZia and is more than
Endorsed by his execution during the pres
ent engagement. rockingham has not
quite ridden himself of a tendency to
''mug" his audience (''mug''-Anglice,
''grimace,' ~ but the Able Blidaide is not
his worst presentment. 1t was pleasant to
see Lizzie Burton again. She is not espe-
cially novel, but always tuneful, graceful
and likeable. Mena Cleary-the Friquet
in ''Victor, "-was the Marie de Pontcour-
lay, and her solo in the school scene was
given with taste, feeling and method. This
is the part in which Miss Ulmar made one
of her successes, and one could not help re
membering her pretty ways in watching
Miss Cleary. But the comparison is by no
means unfavorable to the latter.
The chorus was pretty, musical and in
earnest. and the Instrumentation admra-
BILE. 1t is a pleasure to see musical di-
rector who finds time to attend to the ext
gencies of each separate performance and
''wearies not in well doing"
1.-THE BOHEMIAN GIRL"
This pretty maiden renews her youth and
charms to her admirers of generation after
generation. 1t is probably the best ballad
opera ever conceived. and has within its
three acts more of delicious melody and en-
trancing harmony than any other ever pro-
duced by great composers. The love the
people bear for the dear, familiar numbers
was evidenced last night by the largest
house of the week. The great auditorium
has nightly been filled, but last night stand
ing room even was at premium.
The cast was uneXceptionally fine. and it
would see. impossible to combine in
quartet foufvoiees that blend and harmo-
nize better than those of De Lussan, Hunt
ington, Karl and Macdonald, with Clark
completing quintet of rare excellence.
The pretty little prima donna was thor
oughly delightful in the role of the sweet
gypsy SlIl, anu SIG uISpldyeu ilef versatility
by rendering it in manner which charmed
the auditors quite as much as did her rem
dition of the very different part of Fan
Ghetto in ''Victor." In Airline she finds
different motive, difference in action and
difference in the style, one being of the
light Frenchy character, while the other is
of the substantial English school. Her
rendition of the lovely aria, 81 dream'd
that dWelt in marble halls" was given
with wealth Of expression and grand
conception. In the concerted work she
was truly effective. Miss Huntington
WAS A GRAND QUEEN.
Her stately figure is eminently adapted
for the part and she gave the music a read
ing that s9owe' her possessed of rare gifts.
