LONGFELLOW,S DREAM. Cast Partly Determined - Outlook
 Favorable.
 The rehearsal last night was a gratify- ing evidence of the progress of the play. Professor A. M. Loomis was present and assisted in the minuet dance and the Ian ciers. The entire cast of characters will be announced in few days. Miss Frances Rosenberg, who was in Pinafore, will ap- pear in the "Dream" in two characteriza- tions. She is a talented artist and her criticisms and suggestions have materially aided number of persons in the cast MT. Homer A. Cummings has 8 prominent part and Miss Lillian Fisher, an accom- plished elocutionist, will impersonate the princess in the Viking scene. The sword contest between Homer A. Cummings and . Brian E. Lynn, champion broad swords man of the world, will be notable for it's realism.
 As the time approaches for the appear ance of the drama interest increases Tickets are selling rapidly and the outlook for a full house is most favorable.
 There will be general rehearsal this evening for adults. It is hoped that all who are to take part will be present at the lecture room of the Church of the Messiah.
 Entertainments.
 HYPERION THEATER.
 The Emma Juch Opera company pre- sented Bizes's "Carmen" before large and quite an enthusiastic audience last evening. Although it was not in every respect 8 meritorious performance or in any way a remarkable one, yet it was nevertheless en- joyed, and the audience seemed to thor oughly appreciate it. The fact is, Car men" is a wonderfully fascinating opera, and is one of the most popular music dramas ever written. Fairly well sung and half way decently enacted it is sure to | please it's audience. And with the exoep- | tion of Miss Juch and Miss Armada Fabris. that is about all that can be said of the performance last evening. The chorus and orchestra are both quite large l for 8 travelling organization, but they are not well trained and at times did not keep together. Signor Montegriffo, l who assumed the difficult role of t'Don Jose," has powerful but at the same time a harsh and ''throaty" voice and in his acting he too often overstepped the line which separates the sublime from the ridic- ulops. Herr Kaminsky sang the toreador's | part very effectively, received the usual of the organization. The buffos, Messrs E. N. Knight and William Stephens, also deserve special mention for their good singing and acting. The ballet, con sisting of two coryphees, might bet ter have been omitted. Tho audience seemed to overlook all these faults, and they had good reason to, for throughout the evening there was the singing of thu two prima donnas, and that was indeed faultless. Miss Juch's good acting wal quite a surprise and her pure, true, pow erful voice grows better and sweeter anc more to be desired each visit she maker us. The part of "Michaela" has neve been so effectively sung here as it was b, Miss Fabris, who comes from the Car
 Rose company of London. Two such so prano voices are rarely heard in on opera. When the company is fully organ ) ized by the arrival from Germany of Her Rothjens, it is hoped 1t will appear her
 in "Tannhauser."
