The much talked about conbinati ion o
the Deshon and Andrew Opera Company
has taken place, and with the best ma
terial Of each company and q magnificent
chorus, the consolidated organization
has launched itself on the local dram attic
seas with every promise of success. The
initial appearance OF the company in the
production of "Cbimes of Normandy"
afforded the most artlstic production of
this beautiful opera that has ever been
witnessed in this city. Frank Deshon as
Gaspard gave an ideal impersonation Of
the character demonstrating the fact
thoroughly that he is a most versatile
artist. Mr.. Ed. Andrews rs the Bailf
was exceedingly humorous, and deal of
fun was originated by Mr.. Claude Ans
den, in the role of the Notary. Miss
Morella made charming Serpolette and
Miss Florence Clayton as Germaine. Both
sang and acted the parts with deal of
spirit. Mr.. West made handsome Mar
quis, and Mr.. Campbell likewise strong
Grenicheux. The ensemble songs Of the
opera were exceedingly well rendered.
For the coming week two operas are an
nounced. For the first half, commenc-
ing July LIST, the consolidated company
will present Auber's popular lyric, ezra
Diavolo.' For the last half of the week,
commencing Thursday night, will be wit
messed the presentation of Gilbert and
aullivan'e celebrated opera, Patience.
