ter opportunity to present the attractions Of
the title role OF PanIuettes opera than she
had upon its first production. when

OF this opera is still decidedly Eng
lish despite all efforts to Americanize it,
but tho star Is an American girl. and yester-
days audience gave her welcome That was
In keeping with the patriotic spirit Of the holt
day.
As given with Miss HuntinRton's solos and
duets the opera Is an entirely different and
more pleasure yielding performance than its
first listeners might have thought possible.
Miss Huntington has an agreeable voice and
an unassuming manner that won the quick
favor OF her audiences yesterday. When she
had made the change from the pink gown and
robe that enveoped her tall form at the begin
ing of the orera to the picturesque military
dress OF French army captain. hearty ap-
