WHY MISS TEMPEST LEFT THE DUFF COMPANY
NEW SONGS At TIE CASINO.

WHY MISS TEMPEST LEFT THE DUFF COMPANY
NEW SONGS AT THE CASINO.
Miss Marie Tempest arrived here from LOUSY
Saturday night and attended the performance Of
"ApOllo" at the Casino last evening. In regard to
the manner of her leaving the Duff Opera Company
she said that she had song in the opera, Dorothy
which she sometimes sang and sometimes did not sing.
Miss Lenore Snyder was also in the company, and
one night in Indianapolis Miss snycer's native town,
Miss Tempest sang the song without giving Miss
Snyder warning OF her intention. AS result Miss
Snyder came the stage too soon, and had to go
off again, and became convinced that the whole pro
ceeding plot to humiliate her before her towns
men, The trouble arising from this incident induced
Miss Tempest to leave the company. Miss Tempest
will sail for Europe this morning the Werra, and
will return about September to begin her two years
engagement at the Casino.
A few small changes were made In "Apollo' lest
night consisting IN the introduction Of new songs.
These were the love song from ofenbachs La Belle
Helene, sung by Miss Lillian Russell; trio for Mr.
De Angels, Miss Beaudet and Miss Golden, and
Gustave Kerker's Sad Regrets sung by Miss Russell
There was a large audience, as usual, and the new
songs were received with much favor.
