Especial to TIE HERALD-Examlner Dispatch. I
NEW YORK, Oct. IA Herald Paris spe-
cial says: "Manon" was revived Monday
night in Paris. Its success was chiefly
owing to Miss Sybil Sandersou. One addi-
ton has been made to the opera since 1t was
seen in Paris and that consists OF a vocal
gavotte sung by Manon. In this role Miss
Sanderson was heard at her best. The first
was not finished before she had won her
house, and at each fall of the curtain she
received an enthusiastic recall. Her ex-
perlence since she was last in Paris has
been turned to good account, and her acting
is now as good as her singing. Her voice
has remarkable compass, and she is daring
and skillful in ner management of it.
