Nearly as numerous an attendance filled
the auditorium of the noble old thester on
Mission street last evening as on Monday.
The programme was the vivacious "Car-
men," with Miss Emma Juch as the wanton.

that Georges BiZets heroine has rarely bad
better Interpreters. Her performance
all through. from the first entrance to the
final curtain. was warmly received by the
audience. She was in fine voice. and her
action was as springy and graceful as that
of capriole. The coquettsh scene, where
she sings the aria 'Ah. Love" and enslaves
all the men about her. soldiers as well as
civilians. in the plaza before the eigarraria.

nor Marie Roze. AS bit of acting and yo-
calization it was sui geners.
Some good work must also be credited to
Miss Gertrude May Van Stein, who assumed
the rple of Michaelo. The duet. My

we have heard, but he uses it with great
discretion In the solo, while there is a vivid

finale that made a picture which will bear
looking at good many times. The or

was prompt IN attack and full in volume.

Divide Musin's Concert.
At the request of many ardent admirers
Mr. Divide Musin gave an extra concert last
evening at Irving Hall, and drew together,
as he always does, the elite of San Fran
ciseo's musical people. He literally electri-
fed his audience by his mastery playing
Many Of our local ylolinists were present,
listening with enviOus ears to the pure and
sweet sounds ever as it were flowing from
the soul-inspired strings, and wondering
why they could not produce similar effects
But there is only one Musin. Mr.. Musin is
we'll supported by that popular plima
donna, Anna Louise Tanner Musin, WHO
has always been favOTite here, and Miss

and sympathetic meZZo-soprano voice, clear
as bell and we'll trained. She sings bal
lads exquisitely and should prove valuable
adjunct to Mr.. Musin's strong company in
their Australian tour, country where old
English ballads are much appreciated par
ticularly when sung by a clever artist.
Emil Senger has a rich bass voice and Ed
ward Seharf is an efficient pianist and
acc0mpanist. The concert was much en-
joyed, and every number was vociferOusly
encored. Mr.. Musin gives a farewell con-
cert this afternoon at the same hail. when
the following programme will be presented:
