The Carleton Company.

The Chicago journal says: w. T. Carrie
toms Opera company presented Strauss
comic opera, Indigo" No matter what
fault may bs found with the opera from a
musical standpoint, the production last
evening was e%minsntly satisfactory. and
compared with the comic opera productions
of late seen here was decidedly good. The
stage setting, costuming and general ap-
pointments of the opera were excellent.
The libretto of indigo" il bright and en-
tertaining though not in any sense noticea-
BILE for originality. Long forgotten pun are
dragged to tho light and diehsd up with a
little new favoring. Mr.. Carleton seems
to have selected the cast and chorus with
an eye to the beautiful. more than to
the meritorious. Still tho combination
presented to please the eye as we'll as the
ear would be difficult to duplicate. Miss
Lane has a very good voice, though some
what bard in the upper register, still pleas
ing. w. j. Carlton has a baritone, the
equal of which il seldom heard on the
comic opera stage: it shows unusually fine
cultivation. c. A. Bigelow was decidedly
clever in the rolo or Indigo. He is about
the cleverest in his line on the stage to-
day. Other members of the cast were suf-
f~ciently msritorious to be entertaining.
No fault whatever can be found with the
work of the chorus. Taken all in all, it is
a pleasure to witness such an effort to ad-
vance the standard of light opera produc-
tioas.

ADJUSTMENTS.

Joe Grismer aud Phoebe Davis are IA
yorites of 50 long standing and 20 well
esteemed by Helena p~lay-goers that we
feel sure they will pardon any criticism
with which they may not be in sympathy.
They were greessd last evening by a large
audience. considering that W social at
fairs drew many people who would other
wise have attended. Those present en-
loved n delightful evening of DRAMA. The
rendition was not altogether fsultless, but
it was very good. much better than would
havs been give by many star companies.
Editha's burglar is an improbable but
not unnatural character and yet the story
Is 80 beautifully told as to render his ex-
istencc entirely excusable. 1T is . play OF
intense interest from curtain to curtain
and yet il without the slightest tocoh OF
stage sensationallsm. Inc xctlon IL thrlil-
ing but not exaggerated. Those who have
read Mrs. Burnett's story and read 1t again
would hardly dream thai it could b. dram
atized 40 faithfully and with the produce
ton of all the strong features. but 1t 10 very
clevsrly done by Mr.. Thomas. That CEN
trail piece of all stage composition known
as dramatic action ia most effectively
brought out.
MI, Grismer's art SHOWS noticeable i'm
proyement since his last appearance in this
city. His emotional parts are not over
done, but seem always carried to the right
HIM N 1uks AAS ~
with his acting as we'll rs that of his charm
ing wife il = lack Of thorough naturalness
in the more ordinary conversational scenes
of the play. 1t 10 easy to account Tor this
because the play demands SO much emo
tional work, in which both have built their
regulations 40 artists of high merit. u
seems to us that not even Clara Morris
could excel the beautifully touching scene
in which Mrs. Lewis bids farewell to her
dying husband, while ON tbs other hand We
do not know of an actor who could main
tain the difficult character of the burglar
husband better than Mr.. Lewis.
In the company MIR. Scott Cooper is to be
commended for his admirable and
thoroughly finished Characterization OF the
father. In importance, ease and apprecla-
ton of the requirements his acting shows
the finish seen in the metropolitan stock
companies.
10 little Laura Crews must be given a
very large part of the success. ~Youngster
though she is, she has the sartlessnes and
ease Of manner necessary to the character
while her sweet face and childish voice
assist to place the picture almost beyond
the touch of criticism.
The character of Paul Benton deserved
more strength thar Mr.. Weir seemed capa-
BILE Of giving to it and it may be said that
Miss LcQuaid's acting will be improved by
tho experience which brings familiarity
with the stage.
The Burglar will be played at o Thanks
giving matinee to-day and this evening the
company will produce Form Cliff, said to be
an exceedingly interesting drama OF war
life without the stage trappings incident to
the production of most war plays.

Queen Vic Is Getting Girlish.

The queen, it is said, has not been in
such good spirits for years. In fact, ac-
cording to one more or less high authority.
one of the ladies' at court expects her 'to be
as girlish as the youngest of u.s." 1 do not
of course know how girlish "the youngest
of us'' may be, but the interest which her
majesty has lately taken in dramatic enter
tainments is, perhaps, a result of the re-
newal of her youth. tt is just possible that
may yet appear in the royal box at the
Lyceum or the Haymarket theater while
she is on tho sunny side of SOLOMON
Figaro.

large number of the wives and daughters
OF Tue members presented themselves at
the lodge room and asked for admittance.
WORK was at once suspended and the
nelgnoors proceeded at once to welcome
their guests and entertain them in q royal
manner. The object of their visi, was
apparent when Neighbor Joseph L. Haas
stepped forward and in tie names OF the
ladies' presented the camp with beauti-
iuI banner, in connection with which he
mace few brief remarks saying that he
hoped the banner would ever be a
symbol OF the principles of the
order. charity, fraternity, love of family,
and love of home, after which he spoke
OF the late trouble in the order which
threatened for time to be its ruin, but
happily it had withstood the storm and
now with renewed strength was again
coming to the front. and closed by saying
that 1t was token of their love and an.
probation of the order that the ladies'
