CARLETON OPERA "MYNHEER
JAM"
The Carleton Opera Company appeared
at the Grand Opera-hOuse last night, a fair
audience witnessing the first production
here of the new comic opera, ''Mynheer
JAM" The company is substantially the
same as when last seen In Indianapolis, and
is fairly good one. The opera of "Myn-
heer Jan" is not the best that Mr.. Carleton
has chosen for his repertoire; indeed. it is
markedly inferior to some of them. but it
is full of comedy and is well adapted to the
strength of the company. Mr.. Carleton
himself is in excellent voice, and was heard
to good advantage as Karl the student, or
Mynheer Jan. Mr.. Charles H. Drew, who
is an established favOrlte here, did
J. X. Murray as General Bombals
made conspicuous hit, particularly in the
last act, where his solo (interpolatedl was
very warmly received. Miss Laura Glenn
emit was pleasing rs Katrina, and Miss Alice
Vincent, as Camilla, was equally so. The
chorus is well cOstumed and efficient, and
the performance, as a whole, fairly good.
"Mynheer Jan" will be repeated tonight
and at the matinee tomorrow. and the en-
gagement will conclude Saturday night
with 'NanOn."
CROOK"
At English's OpeRa-houSe. last night, THE
Black Crook" was presented by Kiralfy's
excellent company. The old spectacle has
been judiciOusly pruned until all of the
Objectionable features of the original
production have been removed, and
clean, unobjectionable spectacular
production is given. The ballet is
the best and most carefully trained that
has been seen here In years. The costumes
several specialties of high order of excel
lence. The acrObatic features furnished
by the Dane Brothers and the Ongar sisters
are especially daring. particularly the
and the musical speciality of Bib and
BObb, novelty in its way. The regular
company is a very good one, embracing At
kins Lawrence, w. IL. Bartholomew, Rosa
Watson. Louise Allen and others, The
scenic effects are gorgeous, and the show
generally an excellent one. 1t will be the
attraction of this house for the remainder
of the week.
In many respects the best high-class dra-
matte attraction of the season will be seen
at the Grand the first part of the next week
in the Lyceum Theater New York; success,
The Wife," which had a continuous run
of 2S7 nights in that city; The company is
said to be one of the highest order Of excel
lence, and all the original scenery and ac-
cessOries are employed. THE Wife, is
domestic comedy by BelarcO and DeMille,
and has been praised everywhere as very
beautiful play, excellently acted. Seats

sance under the title of LES Princesse DIES
Canaries." Mr.. Paulten's English adaptation
of the original French book is and has been
running in England for over two years
under the title of "Pepita," but for pur-
poses of copyright. when the book was pro-
duced in this country, it was given the
more appropriate title of the Queens
