ALBACGH'S OPERA HOCSE-In spectacular
dramas IL Is almost inevitable that the scenic
SHOW should seriously break ND the interest OF
the story. There are few dramas of this or
der, however, so well balanced and deity dove
tailed together, the spectacular portions SPRING
ing so naturally from the general trend of the
plot and cunningly helping forward the drama
TIC denouement as 10 form conspicuous and
pleasing exceptions 70 this rule. Clio" Mr.
BARLEY CampbelFs production brous hit ont nj
AIOaush last night, can hardly be regarded as
another oil these exceptions. The spectacular
scenes In II have the usual effect of precluding
continuous interest in the story, into which
theS are introduced, without special occasion
or felicitOus effect. The show scenes last nisht
Were ROBBED OF their due effect by many small
bitches and want of EXPERIENCES in the sIInernu
m r,iries. These faults will doubtless he dim
inntei from the second presentation this even
ing The opening set, the Plaza of ST. Marks
venice was the finest of the evening The
earthquake scene very clever hut not as
imposing as had been expected The living
siatuary was unusually fine, and received en-
thusiastic applause. The leading parts i'm the
drama were fairly well taken by Frank Iosee
Miss Adele Belgrade. Harold Fosberg and b. r.
flng2old, while Mile. Adele Cornalba led the
ballet in a mastery manner. Clio" will con-
