the press Of that city speak of the clever
company, the charming opera, and its
superb surroundings. Mr.. Hopper's recep-
tion on the opening night of his Philadel-

respect with that given during its long and
brilliant run at the Broadway Theater, New

cast, the same large and powerful chorus,

Casino, come to the Duquesne, and present
a double bill at every performance. So much
has been said and printed in connection
with Mascagni's opera, "Cavalleria Rusti-
cana" that it is quite as well known as some
Of the standerd operas, but lhe coming per-
formances by this company will serve to in
troduce it in the light Of a new production.
They will present it IN an elaborate manner,
with rich costumes and a handsome scene,
duplicates Of those now being used in the
Casino production. 1t will be sung in En-
glish, with Pauline L'Allemand as Santuzd,
Ferdinand Schultz as Ttr-iddt Henry Leoni
as Alto, Villa Knox as Lola and Eva Daven-
port as Lucia, and for the first time in this
city with the original score eandorchestration.

voices and very large orchestra. Franz
Won Suppe's one-act opera comique, "The
Jolly Students" recently produced with
great success by Mr.. Aronson's company.
will be the first number on the programme
at every performance. It is entirely new to
this country, and is said to be very amusing
and repIete with rollicking scenes of student
life at Heidelberg. In this opera there will
appear jefferson De Angels, Max Figman,
Edgar Smith, Charles Renwick, Louise
Beaudet and Clara Condray.
