Davenport essayed the same roll in New
York, and so artistic and impassioned was
her impersonatiOn that it We'd in success
with that of her great French contemporary
and for two years the interest in her per-

Her 'Fedora'is marked by intense feeling
and dramatic force and her ST. Paul en-

success.

says: ''Her characteristics are grace. purity.
naturalness, cOnfiding frankness and per-
sonal attractiveness. Mile. Rhea has
thoroughly caught the spirit of the part and
embodies these attributes with consummate
skill and finish. The scene with her lover
in the first act was exquisite in it's innocent
bubbling over of animal spirits, and the cur

succeeding act where she implores her lover
to leave the house there isa passing exhi-
bition OF that womanly dignity and emo

so well display. The final scene in which

give the latest New York casino success.

prises several popular soloists and chorus
of over forty singers. This company owns
the right to produce these two operas in
America. 1t has no difficulty in filling
profitable Eastern dates with them.
1t is just as popular and
far more artistic company than the Boston
Ideals. The latter company has hitherto
been the exponent, par excellence for the
Northwest of the best class of comic
opera. 1t will soon disband and
we shall probably see it no more.
1t is considerable of an experiment for Mr..
McCaull to bring his company so far, and it
is certainly to be hoped that he will meet
such a reception in the two cities as will
encourage him to repeat his visit. St. Paul

attractions.
