company will give gorgeous production of
''Nanon," which is pronounced by the
Boston Herald to be ''the prettiest opera
the world ever produced" ST. Paul amuse-
ment patrons remember the brilliant pro-
ductiOn of this operate gem here last New
Years evening by the Carleton company;
they will remember its delightful librettO
its bewitching music. the elegant
costumes and the charming scenery.
Excellent as this organization was last
season. Mr.. Carleton claims many improve
mentS which embrace the merits of his
troupe this year. No important changes
have taken" place in the personnel of the
company except the engagement of two
leading ladies, Misses Fannie Rice and Ray
SamuelS, i'm place of Miss Louise Paulin,
who has retired. and the substitution of
Mr.. Jay Taylor. lately McCaull'S tenor for
Mr.. Lemane. Mr.. Carleton is still the head
and front of the company. Miss Alice
Vincent. who became such favOrite W it'll
the st. Paul people, is still with the COM

Sing in ''Mlkado." Mr.. Charles Drew,
Mr.. Greenfelder, Mr.. BrOderick. Misses
Clara Window. Josephine Bartlett. George
Petit. Sessie Quingly and Katie Gritfiths

worthy feature of the production of
''Nanon" this season is Hoyt's new
scenery, painted especially for Mr..
Carleton. The salon of NinOn De
LEncoles is described as re-
markable artistic effect in pale tints, and
has won great admiration wherever it has
been exhibited. The costumes are all new
and every detail has been developed in
order to give "Nanon" even greater charms
than before. Wednesday evening there
will be a special spectacular production of
the "Mikado," in response to request
made to Manager Scott for repetition of
their splendid performance last season.
