William Tell"

This city has seldom witnessed q
finer operate rendition than that OF
civilian Tell' by the Emma Juch
Company last night, in the Theatre.
The scenic and mechanical effects
and tho costumes aided in heighten-
ing the delight Of the audience at
the singing and acting. Miss Juch
appeared as the hey, the son of
TELL, 4" and in the simple costume
Of a Swiss lad looked charming,
while her every movement was one
Of grace and vivacity. The opera
had one disappointing feature, it
rarely afforded an opportunity to
hear Miss Juch's superb voice alsne.
Her solos we're all brief passages,
and occurred at rare intervals. But
whenever she sang, 40 matter how
many other voices were pouring forth
the wealth Of melody was notably
enhanced. This was the case in n
marked degree near the opening of
the lrst act when, far above the
volume Of song sent forth by a
remarkably strong chorus, rose the
clear, sweet tones OF Miss Juch. 1t
was 4 test such rs few voices could
have borne, but 10 Miss Juch Il
seemed but 4 trifle.
Giovanni Tagliapietra gave q
superb rendition OF the title roll.
His acting and his singing were
magnificent throughout. Charles
He1mondt Is an artist OF rare voice
aud ability, but he added TO his
laurels last night. His fine tenor
voice l. sweet, strong and sympa-
thetic, ami his acting LAST night was
particularly good. GeOrgine Won
JanuschOwsky has a fine presence,
beautiful, mobile aud ex-
piessiVe face, and n soprano
voice Observation-Disclosures culture.
Her solo singing in her first en-
was a remarkably artistic piece OF
work, and was fully equalled by her
singing and acting in the love
scene that followed it.
Every remaining member OF the
cast succeeded well. From fist to
last all did excellently, and at many
points the enthusiasm of the audi
eHce rose to IA remarkable height.
Every time the curtain went down
the leading singers last in view
We're called before il.
Tonight ''AIiugOn'' will lie per-
formed. Miss Juch Is Just the artist
for the leading role. and We are
confident that her auditors will en-
joy 4 rare treat and she a marked
triumph.
OF Miss Juch's "Carmen, > which
Is TO Pe produced tomorrow even
ing, an exchange has the following
70 say:
''ro those who failed to attend
the performance OF the Emma Juch
company last night it can only be
said that they missed rare treat.
Bizst's opera, Carmen was the
bill, with Miss Juch in the title role,
and she deepened and intensified
the favorable impression created on
he first night. Indeed the whole
opera-solo numbers, choruses and
ensembles-wGsr rendered in a man
uer 10 bring out At their best the Ca
pabilities Of the entire company. Il
was the first time the opeIa has been
given here, and the story of the inn
oetuous gypsy girl, with her saucy
piquancy aud coquetry, her incOn-
SIancy and yet her fidelity to her
own nature was told in
way that, musically, almost de-
fies criticism. The music is OF that
'akiug, melOdiOus character, al
though In places exceedingly diff
cult, which fingers in the memory
and sends one away from the per
formance with a feeling of satisfac-
ton; and in the hands OF Miss Juch,
the central figure, the gypsy CO.
quette. receives such consistent,
such thoroughly artistic, and yet
such delicate and wOmanly treat
ment throughout, that one cannot
but admire the courage Of the little
prima DONNA who, in the face Of
adverse criticism backed by pre-
ceient, has had the bravery to carry
cut her own conception Of the role.
VI her execution, vocally and dra-
matica ~, 1t is impossible to speak
otherwise than in unqualified praise.
The demand for tickets has been
good all day today, and another full
house Is sure TO greet this excellent
company on its fourth night
