THE BosToN1ANs IN "M1GNoN.

| THE BOST0NIANS IN ''MIGNON.
! The Bostonians gave "Mignon" to a very
large audience at the Hyperion Theater last
evening. This popular company was
! originally organized to produce comic opera.
but this season they have attempted some
| thing more serious. The romantic opera Sc
| lected last evening is one which requires four
| frst-rate artists and which gives the chorus
but little to do. In this respect it is not ex-
| it last evening. Miss Marie Stone was excel
| lent as tFilini" and sang better than ever be-
| FORE After the aria in the third act she was
most heartily encered and received a
| handsome bouquet of roses. Mr.. Mac
Donald, though entirely unacceptable in
| the role of Lothario, sang the part magnif-
Gently. Whatever this artist undertakes b 9
| does most creditably. Miss Agnes Hunting
ton received deserved encore for the only
solo given to the role of Frederick. But the
same praise cannot be given to Miss Mueri
| who assumed the title role, or to Mr.. Tom
Carl, whose voice is totally inadequate to the
part of Wilhelm Meister. Miss Muori is evil
IDENTIFY painstaking artist and in less i'm
portant role would have been quite accepta-
| BILE. But Mignon requires an operate star
of the first magnitude, which requirement
Miss Muori is by no means capable of fulfil
ling. Her acting is also very much marred
| by the contortions of an amateur. In the
| field of comic opera the Bostonians have for
several years reigned supreme, but if they in
tend to venture into the realms of grand
opera they ought to secure two or three really
| first. class artists. This evening era Dia-
VIOLA" will be given, and as both Mr.. Barna-
bee and Mr.. rockingham are in the cast
some fun as well as some good singing may
be expected. Miss Juliette Gordon, who
made such favorable impression early in
the season, appears as "Zerlina." Of course
there will be large audience.
BUNNELL's GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
This will be bonanza week at the Grand,
for with the Japanese village and other at
fractions in the museum hall and the Japan
ese circus on the thester stage people will be
getting more for their money than at any
other time this season.
BENEFIT CONCERT.
The benefit concert for Prof. NJ. NJ. Fona-
rolf, which was to have taken place at the
Atheneum last week Monday evening, will
occur tomorrow evening. The programme
is an excellent one, and Prof. Fonarof will
be assisted by Madam Evelyn Oertel, the
Misses Schneeloch, Miss Justine Ingersoll and
others.
EvANGELINE.
Evsngeline with it's grand marches, unique
characters, pretty music and beautiful COS
TUNES will be at the New Haven Opera House
for three nights and one matinee, oommenc-
ing on Thursday evening. 1t is some time
since the popular extravaganza has been seen
in this city, and it is said to be greatly i'm
proved this season by the Introduction of new
music and specialties. Those old friends,
ftThe Lone Fisherman" and "The Dancing
Heifer,' will again be seen and the old bur-
lesque will doubtless be welcome addition
to our list of amusements. The company
numbers some sixty people and is a good one
in every particular; in fact, it is said to be
one of the finest ever engaged in the repre-
| sentation of the burlesque.
BOSTON SYMPHONY COMPANY.
It will be highly gratifying to our lovers of
fine music to know that the Boston Sympho-
ny company have arranged to give their
postponed concert on March % ct the Hy-
perion, programme and soloists as before an
| nounced. Tickets already purchased are
| good for the new date The agent, Fred r.
| Coree, started out ON the New York and New
| England railroad with the orchestra on bliz-
Yard Monday. They got stuck in huge
snowdrift about forty miles from Boston and
| they stayed there in the snow, unable for
many hours to move in either direction final
| ly returning to Boston at midnight on Tues
day, cancelling all their concerts for the
| week.
