AT THE OPERA HOUSE.
4 Fine Performance of LA File du
Madame Angot"--"Boccaccio'' Tonight.
LA File du Madame Angot,"
Lccocqs most melodious opera, was
produced at the Opera House before
crowded audience last night. 1t went
with Il rythm and flow, swing and
movement that were irresistible. More
than once the audience was carried off
its feet. AS usual, Miss Greenwood's
excellent voice and fine technique gave
her leading honors. Her interpolation
of the Shawnee River in the second
act, was three times encorcd Her
Clairctte was piquante and dramatic.
The opera itself is excellent comedy:
it affords opportunity for abundant act
ing entirely within the limits of its
lines, and the comedians of the company
developed the finer touches with spirit
and true Interpretation which won the
keen appreciation of the audience, not
that sort which gives vent to horse
laughter, cat calls and calliope whistl-
ing, but the kind which knows and
acknowledges the merit of genuine
comedy. Mr.. Martin as Touchard, chief
of police. was excellent. lie possesses
fine force of humor which would give
him good place in legitimate if he
should choose to abandon light opera.
Mr.. GuiberSon as Pomponneht, was in
good form.
The opera is strong throughout. Its
action is rapid. The concerted move
ments develop minor parts into gener-
Gus relief and allow the chorus to be-
come something more than mere auto
nations. The company was equal to it's
opportunity and threw a life and spirit
into the performance which are worthy
of warm commentator.
Miss Taylor as Mile. Lange was in ex-
ccllent voice. Her solo in the third act
developed the pleasing quality and wide
compass of her upper register and was
given warm encore.
1t would he a great oversight to neg
lect mentioning the costuming of the
troupe. 1t is so far above what is usually
seen in a travelling company that it is a
pleasure to look at it.
Tonight the season closes with re-
petition of ''Baccaccio." This is favor
lite of long standing with the music and
laughter loving public, it hardly needs
advertising. 1t goes without saying
that the opera house will be crowded.
