AT THE THEATERS.

Minneapolis is ripe for opera. The
season thus far has run largely to COM
edy, with mixture of tragedy, melo-
drama, with just sprinkling of bur
lesque, so the visit of the Boston Ideals
will be something of treat, and the
advance sale indicates that it is appre-
ciated as such. The company has been
very materially strengthened since last
year. Not only are Mile. Zelie De LUIS
san, w. I'll. Clark. Clement cambridge
and j. G. Miron retained, but such art
lists have been added as Pauline L'Alle-
starring tour in Europe; GeOrgiene von
Januschowsky, Sig. Parisotte, new
tenor; w. H. Mertens, baritone, and
Atalie Claire, contralto. The repertory
also includes three operas that have
never been given by the company before
in Minneapolis, and is as follows: Mon
day and Thursday, 1.-THE Barber of Sc
ville;' Tuesday and Saturday, "Queen
Topaz" the new opera by Victor Masse
that has only been given six preSenta-
lions in America; Wednesday and Sat
urday matinee, Faust" Wednesday
matinee, Daughter of the Regiment"
Friday, Carmen"
That weird and sensational drama,
''DI. Jekyll and Mr.. HYDE will be put
on the boards at the Peoples theater
this evening for weeks run, making
the third weeks production of the ia
nous play at this house the present
season. There is something strangely
fascinating in the manner in which
Theodore Hamilton portrays the dual
title role. The patrons of the Peoples
do not seem to be satisfied with seeing
one presentation Of the play. The
management have been forced to put
the drama on again owing to the repeat
ed requests. During previous produc-
lions the awful story took wonderful
hold upon the public. Many saw it
again and again. Still they were not
satisfied. Now that theory has been
advanced that the Whitechapel fiend is
parsonage similar to StevenSOn'S
Jekyll and Hyde, there is renewed in
terest in the play. Mr.. Hamilton has
made such hit in the part that he has
decided to take the play upon the road
when his engagement at the Peoples
closes. His manager will be John
company at the Peoples will be the
same as in the previous production,
with the exception that Miss Clara
Douglass will assume the role of DR..
Jekyll's daughter in place OF Miss
Reta Booth.
