MR.. EDWARD WISE.

His Debut at the Grand Last Evening as
Don Carlos In "Ernani."
The spacious auditorium of the Grand
Opera House was filled by the friends and
admirers of the gentleman above named TO
witness his first appearance in Verdi's
opera as the King. The rest of the distri-
button was as follows:
Don Ruy Gomez de Silva. .:sig. G; Napoleone
Ernai cS rI s,
........................Mr Charles Colby
Evira... Signorina Ida Vaierga
With one or two notable exceptions the
distribution was made up of those unused to
the demands Of grand opera, and therefore
no reason exists for any elaborate clp icism
of the performance. Mr. Wise, who was the
cause of the whole affair, carried himself re-
markably well for novice in the part Of Don
Carlos, although he was suffering from Sc
we're cold. We should judge, had we heard him
at his best, that the gentleman is gifted with
a good voice, of which we will hear a better
report by and by, and certainly he has
fine stage presence. There Is no Just
cause why he should not continue In
the lyric career he has begun. He
has all the natural qualifications for success.
Sig. Napoleone as Don Silva was not prom
ising at the outset, but gradually drew away
from his embarrassment as the opera pro-

Charles Thrower in the title-role was quite
a feature, and his duo with Donna Elyira,
"Ah, Morir Potesse," was sung with so
much grace and expression that billow of
applause rolled toward the stage. As for
Signorina Ida Valerga's personation and
singing of Elvira, the excellence in both re-
spects goes without the saying. This lady
has had the advantage of the.best Conti-
mental schooling and is blessed with voice
that justified it, besides having had
large operatic experience. Her
voice and actions were the bright sug-
gestions Of an operatic possibility with q
more fitting encourage. OF course the score

greeted with loud and long-continued ap-

his colleagues, ON the measure of success
