ington theater-going public will be treated on
Monday night to the presentation by an unus-
uaily well-balanced company OF operate
singers. supported by large and carefully
drilled chorus Of Richard Stahl's melodious
opera 'Said Pasha." The opera is bright and
| catchy piece of musical work. while the libretto
| in the hands Of good actors and clever come

make an opera comique thoroughly enjoyable.
MIR. w. +. Dickson. whose name the opera

mind that they have succeeded in bringing to-
gether a company which they and those who
have had an opportunity to see their rehearsals
this week are confident will even become more
popular than the companies which have pre-
! coded them. Many OF the actors and actresses

from their abilities They have all won repu-
tations wherever they have appeared. The sea-

the following operas will be presented: Said
| Pasha. ;" The Gondoliers.'' ''Amorita." 1.-The

Night in Venice" Virginia and ..Genevieve
De Babraut." These will be presented in the
order in which they named, each of them
holding the stage for week. OF these the
.'vice Admiral is to be produced for the first
| time in this city.
The leading lady of the company is Miss Lily
