A Successful Entertainment.

Last night at Mission Garden
the San Antonio Deutscher Maen-
nerchor gave an entertainment
and ball, and a large number of
roiends of the society were pres
ent. The program, which was pub
lished in the LIGHT last week, was
rendered in a creditable manner,
especially the bass solo of Mr..
Macmillan Sutor, which was the
feature of the hour.

GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
Patti Rosa, the Southern Favorite,
Comes Up Clipper Than Ever.

Comes Up Clipper Than Ever.
Patti Rosa demonstrated her
| claim to a favorite with the San
Antonio people by the house that
assembled to greet her last night.
She is the same clever, bewitching,
uneXplainable woman that She al
ways is, but on last night she had
better support than ever presented
before in any of her sOuthern tours,
and the result was performance
that is very markedly superior to
those upon which her reputation
had been so solidly esta 5lished. OF
the unique Patti herself it is almost
unnecessary to speak. She is as we'll
known to the play goers of this city
as to the critics and her wonderful
success before the fOOtlights is as
much mystery to the one as the
other. If it be true, and who doubts
it, that nothing succeeds like sue
cess, then the entertaining little
Patti is a success. Her infinite va
riety is not stalled with age. She is
as fresh, as chic, as charming, as
unexpected as she was ten or
twenty years ago. Why she is so
it is not necessary to inquire, be-
yond the fact that personality of
marked individuality has given
itself expression in thousand
tricks of word, tone and manner
that are exceedingly amusing and
peculiarly taking.
In John ID. Gilbert and Joe Cav
thorn Rosa has the best possible
support. They are a continual con-
trast, and each distinguishing fea-
ture only adds to the piquancy of
their work. They are not more I'M
like each other than they are I'M
like their graceful companion, Pat
ii, and three people more radically
unlike could hardly be harnessed
to the wheels of a comic coach on
any stage in the world. Gilbert
has all the marks of
his peculiar, saturnine genius in
his face. His mannerisms are
irresistibly droll and his locomo-
ton a revelation in itself. Cav
thorn is the soul of good natured
German, as full of genuine humor
as PATHS of sunshine. His face is
always bright and his linguistic
plumbers constant source of I'M
adulterated fun. His musical per-
formances as well as his speech are
superb. The playing of two tunes
on the same instrument at
the same time is feat
that must be seen to be
appreciated.
The rest of the cast are only the
setting for these three gems of
comic personation. Outside of
these there is no need to mention,
but these three are host in them
selves. Patti has the company of
her life with her on this tour, and
those who do not see her in her
present surroundings will fail of
seeing a really great presentation
of mirth provoking specialties.
Plot there is none, but there is no
end of fun, and fun that all can
enjoy.

This afternoon at the regular

relative to water rates, and it is
