n. Dusiinne Edwards Successful Work
in tho First Performance of tho "Gray

The Kansas City Journal in n recent
issue makes complimentary reference to
"rhe Gray Num-" just presented in that
town. The libretto is by N. Dushano
edward, late of this city. MIR. edward
also took the chief male role. The
paper referred to criticiscs the Whining
ton musician as follows; Ellis work
has shown its chief strength in the tell
ing of very interesting story. 1t is an
intensely melodramatic story, of love
and lucre, of pride and patriotism, OF
the devotion Of true hearts and the mis-
understanding Of pride. Perhaps, for
the purposes of opera, there is almost
too much of story, but as it is all the
way through an interesting ono, one
cannot quarrel too hard with the plen-
titude. Coming to individual per-
formers, Mr.. Coward, who sang the
most important male character, and
| Miss Mable Haas, carried off the honors
without a trial. Mr.. edward worked
with the zeal which is born of sympa'
thy, and his mellow baritone rang Out
with CHEEKY encouragement. Hereto.

cient in acting Last night no such

They may not tell you that you are telling

now put under ground, notwithstanding
the seriousness and earnestness with
which the impractibility of doing this
has been and very probably still may
be argued. OF course this so-calied i'm
