Carleton company present Balfes melodious and
perennially popular opera of The Bohemian
Girl" The house full and the fullness

plluse, so that encores were the rule. While
the acting Of the opera was perhaps little stiff
! and stilted, the singing was exceptionally good,
and in solos, concerted passages and chorus the

its hearers. The plot is clearly drawn, being

times the situations unusually vivid and
lifclIke. The company engaged for this produc-
ton Is of the strongest that has visited
Harris 1heater this season. Miss LOduski
Young. well known to theater goers. was very
effective in the part of Ruth Hope, and in the
fourth act her scene with Barbara, the outcest,

Mr.. Charles Hallock was at home in the part Of

a realistic piece of acting. Mr.. Jay Hunt

dressed in the character of the Chinese princess
and told in an interesting manner the life Of the
emperor's daughter. During the lecture she
severely scored orr social customs and drew
alarming parallels, all tending to show the su-
PeriOrity of the Mongolians. Her lecture was
interpreted with numerous witticisms and some
of her citations were extremely ludicrous.
number of fine stereopticon views illustrated
her lecture.
Among the views shown were many of the
buildings that are to form the worlds fair at
Chicago. These were large. several were in
cOlOrs. and they gave an excellent idea OF the
magnitude of the great exposition that will be
formally opened next October. Those who
were present and who saw these
handsome illustrations and listened to
realize something of the great work that is being
done by those who have charge Of the different
departments of this great international under
taking. No one. however, can fully appreciate
the immense energy that is being put forth
unless they visit Chicago and see the vast army
Of workmea who are pushing forward the COM

such views were shown by Mrs. Pollard last
night. together with her clear and intelligent
descriptions. are an educational as well as an
interesting entertainment.
