Mr.. Lewis Morrison was playing star en-.

threatened to break his contract when ne

were intended to represent numbers but
not money, prepared TO be issued to Tom,

Audrans opera, "The Golden Hen," at
the Iiyoli-a house known for its excellent
work. without making any fuss or blow
about it's commanding more than usual
attention from the public by the fact that
there is a bastard version of one OF Au-
dran's works now given at another tbeaIer.
We had the pleasure the other evening OF
listening to the Tiyoli performance, and
were particularly struck with duet by
Miss Tilie SaliDger and Mr. George OHM.
We will pit Salnger against Russell as
better vocalist In every respect. She has
had a training in sounder and more honest
school IF music than the flair Lillian" has
ever had She may not boast Miss Russelps
beauty nor her "boom," but she has more
than her talent as siDger-a more free and
clearer emission Of notes, better expres-
ing, an evidence Of her better training. She
has also staying quality and sings the last
number OF her assignment with the same
melodic ease and suaye power that she dld
her first. We commend Miss Salinger TO
the managerial sense Of Mr.. L. Henry
French.

attraction the services of San Francisco's
first lady amateur were secured. Mrs.
Breechman sang My Heart at Thy Sweet
Voice." by Saint-Saens, beautifully; her
voice was at its best, and her penetrating
notes and clear enunciation were revela'

ene0red her after each appearance. The
concert was great success, and too much
praise cannot be bestowed on Mr.. David w.
LOrng for his leadership. Miss Ruth w.

tour is proceeding under the most favorable
conditions. The piece is considered "go,"
as there are full houses in every city where
it is presented. The tour will probably be
extended to the Pacific Coast. AS usual
with him, Mr.. Hoyt is continually retOuch-
ing and improving his work, rendering
necessary daily rehearsals of the new bus-
ness MeSsrs. George Richards aud Eugene
Garfield are in thecast. Mr.. Davies assumes
the role OF DR.. Sawyer, temperance parti-
san but vile hypocrite all the same. He
simply uses the temperance cause to further
his own ends. He wants the saloon abol-
ished so that the druggist-he being of that
professiOn-may get the sole privilege to
sell alcoholic stimulants. Principle and
coin are convertible terms with Sawyer.
