Entertainments.

The Bostonians repeated robin Hood"
to large and highly pleased audience at
the Hyperion theatre yesterday afternoon.
In the evening III Trovatore" was sung to
another large audience. Notwithstanding
its many popular airs, its long and well
merited success and the acknowledged
greatness of its composer, it must be con-
ceded that "n Trovatore" is back num-
Der. This is not true of all of Verdi's
operas and there are many of them-nota-
bly, sAida"-that would be positive novel
ties. There are many standard operas that
less hackneyed. Marie Stone, who
is always charming in light, comic
roles, hardly meets the require
ments of the unfortunate 'sLenora" and
Mr. Karl's musical deficiencies are too APP
parent to be overlooked when he under
takes to sing the music set down to MAN.
rico" But if it was at times commonplace
and tedious, yet taking everything into
consideration the entertainment was an
ENJOYABLE one. The most noticeable feat
ures were Miss Jessie Bartlett Davis i'm
personation of the gypsy queen and Mr.,
McDonald's "Count di Luna" An artistic
who can in one day sing two such dis
similar roles as "Allan-a- Dale" and "Azu-
cena" deserves the palm for versatility,
and it is the highest praise to
Miss Davis to state that she was equally
successful in both characters. Mr.. Nc
Donald always sings magnificently, but he
never looked more handsome than last
evening. To these two artists belong the
honors of the evening. The chorus, the
orchestra and above all Director Studley
deserve the usual commentator which is
always accorded them 1t is to be hoped
that this company will appear here again
before the close of the season.
THE AUS DER oHE RECITAL.
Fraeulein Aus der Ohe's piano recital
given under the auspices of the Gounod
society at the United church chapel yester-
day afternoon was quite largely attended.
| Selections from Bach, Rubenstein, Chopin,
Raft and List, preceded by Beethoven's @
| major sonata, made up an enjoyable pro-
\ gram. The difficulties of the Liszt selec-
tions-an etude and the Don Juan-were
easily surmounted and were listened to
| with the closest attention. In the Chopin
| selections, however, there was a lack of
delicacy, and the rendition OF the sonata
did not indicate the genius of the composer
Miss Aus der Ohe is an artistic who deserves
her widespread popularity, but she cannot
be considered as successful interpreter of
either Beethoven or Chopin. Her great
merit lies in her ability to give her hearers
the advantage of hearing Liszts compoa;
lions as they were taught by that greet
master.
HYPERION THKATER.
Shenandoah" begins the FIRST of thres
performances tomorrow night. The mos,
effective features of picture are the de
tails-the little things. So, too, is it Will
this drama. The small touches of life ani
nature appeal more directly to us than th,
others because they are more real and com
prehensive, the contrast with their sur
roundings giving them a more pregnan
meaning. The play win be by the New
York company, yet prices will be from s.
down.
