Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1889-12-05

piece Is less brilliant IN c0stumery ana less
humorous than "Paola," but it is greatly
its superior unsteady. 1t presented Miss
Jsnuschowsky TO far better advantage, and
gave her opportunity to prove that she has
a very much stronger voice than was sup
posed, and that she is q singer very mucn
above the ordinary. The piece also intro
duced Mr. Packard, tenor OF good quality.
The company appears in San Francisco
Monday night next.
At the Metropolitan Theater tonight
Blossy Kiralfy, who was last here with his
spectacle and drama, The Ratcatcher,"
will produce "Antiope," with all the
the piece, and company composed OF about
fifty people. A story gained publicity that
a portion of his ballet and leading people
had lett the troupe Kiralfy produces press
accounts showing that the story was all
wrong; that he dismissed one person and
concluded the engagement OF two others;
that he did so to supply their places with
better material, and he proves by the COM
pany roster that his troupe is stronger and
larger than when in San Francisco. The
piece has been very much changed, and the
business entirely reconstructed, so as 10
introduce new specialties and effects. He
grounds, nor as a drama, but presents it
only as ballet spectacle and specially en-
tertainment of great brilliancy and interest
The costumery is admitted in all the press
notices to be the finest brought to the coast,
and the commeDdation of the scenery is as
unanimous as being exceedingly rich and
beautiful, and that the equipment of
the company is Of the most brilliant char
acter. Chief among the performers is
Carmencita, the captivating Sevillian dan
Ger, a Spanish beauty, and whose dancing
in long skirts won in San Francisco the
greatest success for her grace and the
warmth of her sinuous method and be-
wildering whirl of abandon. She is new
figure to the American stage, and in the
opinion of the New York Graphic is the
living double of the famous Soto, who IN
her day drew columns of praise from the
American press. A new performer, also, is
native OF Carmencila's land, just
engaged to give her support in certain
dances. Still another is La Mondi
clown and wiSe- walker. Among the spe-
cialists is Alice Gilbert, the first to intro
duce the gaiety dances in California, which
created so much interest in London and
New York. Sig and Nine. Pialras are
athletes and performers upon the swinging
rings, and claim the championship of the
world in that line. The Tissosts, living
Marionettes, are strong attractions of kir-
alfys troupe also. Francesca Paris is the
star premier dancer, and comes with
European reputation as a mistress of her
art. Arnold Kiralfy is the groiesque dancer
of the company and is well known
here. The ballet kiralfy dwells upon as a
specially brilliant attraction, and claims
that IN costumery, stage jewels, precision
OF drill and grace, it is one OF the best or
der. In the first ballet as an evidence of
its elaborateness, the score shows no less
than eight numbers. Annie Howard is
the queen of the spectacle and Rose Ridg-
way the fairy. Mr.. Kiralfy arrived yester-
day in advance of his company, to prepare
the stage for the reception of the scenery
and the devices Of the spectacle. The spe-
eial announcement of the production, with
toe prices charged, will be found in the adj
vertising columns. From all that can be
learned the enthusiastic claims made by
Mr.. Kiralfy for "Antiope" are fully main
tanned by the performance, the elaborate
stage mountings, rich costumery, beautiful
scenery and the specially performers.
