might have been the fate of Pietro Mas

which the opera is composed is all that has

movable audience we're affected by it. They
demanded it from the orchestra three
times-in the East, when the opera is pro-
duced, they do not stick at six or seven.
But three was great concession for San
Francisco. Hirschback, the leader. seemed
TO think so. He answered each call
by rising. turning his face TO the applauders
and bowling. Perhaps the demand came as
much from a desire to see his handsome
countenance as to again enjoy the music.

people, and every character has positive
interest. Dickens never touched any speci-
men Of human nature with his pen without
bringing out salient points. The trouble
in this instance was that the actors
and the novelist did not como to-
gether. They either had not read
his book, or their views Of life were formed
in different school from that in which he
was trained or had made his observations Of
English life and character. However, there
were some bold, if not successful, daShes at
