the beauty of the music or the Senti-
ment gain but feeble recognition. 1t is
not to be wondered at that operate
managers, recognizing that to be sue
cessful they must please the public,
have abandoned the effort to be
artistic in anything but the
dressing of their productions.
Shapely girls for the chorus, and hand
some costumes to set them Off to the
best advantage, a strong vein OF horse
play running through the entire per-
Torrance, and cheap prices, make up
the successful opera company of to-day.
1t is useless to compare the tenor of
such company to Tom Karl. The
former works for $50 week, and the
latter for $500, singing only three times;
or to rave about De Lussan to the dis
arrangement of Susie Kirwin, who does
not draw De LusSan'S salary nor claim
the latter's right to the title of prima
donna soprano. We have here COM
pany, each member of which is of good
reputation in his or her particular line,
playing repertoire of seventeen
operas, and trying to please the public
in each for 25 cents. 1t must be said
in all fairness that the show is phe-
nomenally good one for the price.
Messrs. Oppenheim & Kalman state
with regard to the Metropolitan opera
house that the building will undoubted-
ly be ready for opening at the date pre-
viOusly given.
The burnt cork soiree given at the
Newmarket theater last evening by the
Minnesota Boat club men, assisted by
members of the Wilbur company, was
success in every WaV.
Belle Hamilton and Norah Howard
| made big hit with their Spanish dance
in The Chimes" last week. 1t was
more gracefully executed on each sue
ceeding night and may be referred to as
one of the pleasing features of the per-
Torrance.
]. 81. Jones does powerful bit of act
ing as GaSpard, a more truthful cOncep-
ton of the part of the miSer having sell
dom been seen here:
in the success of the Lineau-Reuter
Concert company, which takes to the
| road early this week. If a frst-class
concert will please the people along the
route to be taken they will be pleased,
for more talented aggregation of
artists could scarcely be wished for. Mr..
Lineau'S tenor has won him laurelS in
st. Paul, and his voice merits all that
can be said in its praise. Herr Jacob
Reuter- as viOliniSt is as fine an artist as
has been heard in this part of the coun-
try for some time, and Herr Louis Mich
for violoncello work can hardly be eX-
celled. Miss May Louise Aigen will
give dramatic readings in her inimitable
style, and Prof. Eugene Kauffner is the
pianist of the company. Fred G. Hueb-
ner is manager, and Bert III. Condor
business manager.
Conley's tenor has improved to such
an extent since he was heard in 'Er-
mimic" as to give rise to superstition
that he had been laboring under the dis
advantage of bad cold. His work in
1.-The Chimes was such as to create
most favorable impression.
The class of 80 of the manual train
ing school will hold graduating exer-
ciseS Friday afternoon, June 13, at the
school assembly hall. An extremely in
teresting programme is in course of
preparation.
The scholars of St. Mary's school are
preparing musical entertainment to
be given shortly. The institution is I'M
usually we'll off for musical talent, and
the event should be worth hearing.
