CAPTAIN THEREsE's COSTUMES.
Miss Agnes Huntington, the premiere
prlma donna OF the comic opera stage, will
appear In the title role of Captain Therese"
at the Grand Opera-house tomorrow night
ms opera gives the popular prma donna
greater chance for tile display OF costumes,
and the dresses Miss Huntington has had
made are maryeis OF beauty in design, tex
ture and color. In the first act Miss Hunt
lngt0n appears In magnificent yet w!thai
perfectly simple dress of the Elizabethan
period. With this dress she wears long
Spanish cloak which is very liable to at
tract considerable attention. 1t was de-
signed by Miss Huntington herself, who
caught the idea from an old Spanish paint
lug 1t is real Spanish cloak in make, one
makes the most bewitehing drapery in
which a woman could possibly array her
self The Countess Marie HatZfeldt, dear
personal friend Of Miss Huntington, had
several of these cloakS made TO serve the
place Of opera cioakS or wraps. and 1t is
more than likely that these Huntington
cloaks may catch the fancy of some of our
leading fashionableS and become the N ode
here, Ia the second act Miss Huntington
wears the uniform Of French officer of
ha IL frfnft
tune. 1t is in color in two shades of gray
and IS handsomely trimmed with mixture
OF dull aud bright steel. The curasS is
made Of white leather with dull steel decor
atoms. The gorget, like the helmet, is of
plain steel. The long top boots are Of gray
leather. and the sword belt and trappingS
are also gray picked out prettily with steel.
In the helmet is set plume OF white
feathers.
PICTURESQUE AND ARTISTIC.
1t is difficult to imagine more pietur-
eSque or artistic dress than this, and one so
we'll adapted to the refined aud talented
wearer. Picturesque and lovely as the
dress and uniform Of the first and second
acts are, 1t is, however, in the third act
= that Miss Huntington displays costume
which ladies will regard as "a dream" 1t
is perfectly charming. The material is or
heavy brocade of alternate wide satin
stripes end flowers in the puTeSt salmon
pink. On this lovely groundwork are scat
tered pOsies Of gold and silver of the most
chaSte and delicate pattern. These pro-
duced the effect the fair artistic desired to
secure-that of giving life 10 the gown as
she moved about the stage. The neck has
new cut. 1t is square, only the corners are
cut away near the arm. The collar is
large FL zabethan of white lace, with pink
topaz stones scattered thickly over it, The
sleeves are of white pulled silk with pink
straps, and numberless yards of cobweb
lace are gathered in rich graduated falls
Is one OF the richest costumes that have
been seen On the stage in many long day.
