AT THE THEATERS.

The third annual summer opera season
| at the Metropolitan opera house during
this summer has been great financial
and artistic success. 1t seems the Oft
ener the Wilbur Opera company come
to st. Paul and the Ions er they stay, the
more popular they become with our
theatergoers. The company gave their
seVeUty-eighth consecutive performance
last night at the Metropolitan, and dur
ing that time have entertained and
| amused over $4,000 people with their
presentations of light opera. During
the nine weeks that they have been
here they have appeared in dozen or
more operas, and have acquitted the m
selves most creditably in each and every
production. TheF have not yet pro-
duced an opera during their stay that
has been any approach to failure, but
TO the contrary each and every one has
been great success. dorothy" as pre-
sented by this company last week, made
an extraordinary hit, and the result was
the house was packed throughout the
week.
The Wilbur Opera company's season
at the Metropolitan is the only engage
ment of opera in the United States this
summer that has been carried throu z h
successfully with the exception of the
De Wolf Hopper Opera company in
"Panjandrum" at the Broadway thea
ter, New York. This not only speaks
we'll of the Metropolitan and the Wilbur
Opera company, but it also speaks will
of the city of St. Paul. Ii demonstrates
that the people of st. Paul are able and'
willing to sustain a summer season of
light opera if carefully and properly
presented. During the entire summer
the theater has been packed at almost
every performance. The ENLARGEMENT,
when it is over. will be put down in the
annals of history as a grand. artistic
and financial summer success from
start to finish.
All this week, beginning tonight. with
the usual "Wednesday and Saturday
matineeS, the WilburS will present for
the first time i'll this city by them the
brilliant musical operate work, "ClO-
YER" The farewell week, beginning
Sunday night, Aug. ID, the company
will sing the popular comic opera, The
management have decided 10 play two
extra matinres, giving four matinees in
the week, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thurs
day and Saturday. During the last two
weeks people have been turned away ar
both the Wednesday and Saturday
matinees, and they feel that it will be
| necessary to give four matlneeS during
| the last week to accommodate all those
! who wish to take parting look at this
| popular company. The following is the
