ADJUSTMENTS.

entirely of a different set of singers from

not all the performance merited. the total

! house was one of the Warmest, friendliest
and most administrative that it would be
| possible to play to. Mr.. Gorlinski de-
! serves the Warmest words Of praise for the
/ almost lavish manner in which he produced
( the opera. In the two details of or
;hestra and costuming the production
has never been equalled here by local
company. and the expense attendant on
these features alone have been very great
The late hour at which the opera closed-it
was near midnight when the final curtain
fell-renders it impossible to give the ex-
tended critique that might be writ

must be sufficient to say that
Notwithstanding the ambitiousness of the
whole work, its difficulty and its great
length-and Notwithstanding the very evil
dent amateurishness of some of the parts
the opera caught on and its particular
brilliant spots, such as the enchanting
Filtration dance to the accountant
ment of mandolin and guitar-which
had an immense recall-the gypsies'
dances, Mr.. GOrlinski's Happy Mo
ments,a and Edith ClaWson and Jennie
Hawley's beautisully rendered duett
Of Holy Mother" the finest musical
achievement OF the uight-will suffice to
carry 1t on the wave of popular favor The
best acted part was that of Edith ClawsOn,
whose dressing was exquisite; but her
voice was not so true to the key as in the
Daughter: the best sung part was that of
Miss HaWley. who looked charming boy:
Mr.. Gorlinske sang admirably and
acted intelligently; Mr.. Macintosh
as Don Caesar had one of the best light
comedy roles on the stage to sustain, and for
so eXacting part he did well-extremely
well, when it is remembered that it was his
first appearance: his singing was uneven.
excellent in parts, rough in others. Mr..
Hampton has the true operate voice and
his singing Is as true as the needle: We
wish we could say as much of his acting:
but we cannot. Mr.. Haviand made some
lively mirth in a rather sad comedy part. and
Miss Lawson, MI. OberndOrfer and Mr. Ar
thur acquitted themselves with credit To
the praise for some admirable stage set
tings, and to the former especially the
lively business Of the chorus in the first
act; TO the latter the credit of the dance. A
number OF details. such as the faulty spell |
ing Of ''CaStilian'' on the sign board. the
of one of the characters from the
governors box to the stage when floral
offering was to be made. and the
more than distinct voice of the
stage director, can be avoided on
a second presentation. Prof krOuse
waived the baton over a grand orches-
ira, and some rare work they did The
only trouble was that they occasionally
swamped the singers. The piece should be
shortened III some way to three acts The
curtain in the prison scene at the best is a
very unsatisfactory one. There is already
a large sale for tO-night's performance.
and to-morrow's matinee, without doubt.
