BucalOssi's Charming Opera This.
Week at Harris Theater BRA
matte Notes. NJ
1.-THE Three Black Cloaks," the charm
ing comic opera in three acts by Blu
calossi, will be produced by the WILDER
opera company at the Harris theateTto
morrow evening, and continue as the
attraction the remainder of the week.
The WILDER company was among the first
to produce this opera in this country,
and it ranks among its best efforts. 1t
has more genuine humor than most
French operas, and abounds in ludicrous
situations. 1t will bring out the
strength of the entire company, and the
costumes and stage details will be eX-
eellent, as heretofore. To those who
are not acquainted with the plot twill
not be amlss to give a very brief synop-
sis of the argument. Girola, the belle
of Valados, village in Spain, is about
to be welded to Romez, a miller, whom
she deteStS. She is in love with young
officer named Don Luis de Rosamonte,
who once saved her life. Luis brides
Romez. and, donning black cloak,
marries Girola, without apprizlng
her of the fact that he is
not Romez. In the next act
a series of complications occur on &C
count of GirOla not really knowing who
her husband is. King ConsOrt Don
Phillip of Aragon, his grand chamber
lain, and Luis all wear black cloakS in
Illuminating about the old mill where
Romez lives; hence the complications
and Girola'S natural mistakes. In the
third act the scene changes to the pal
ace of Santiago, and it is here that the
horizon is cleared, the mistakes all eX-
planned, and Luis and Girola are
brought together and admonished by
the queen to olive happy ever after"
