Opera company closed its engagement
last evening with most pleasing pre-
sentstion Of Said Pasha. Miss Clements
was in superb voice, and sang In q way
to charm the audience. Her duo with
William Schuster, the bssso, in the sec
ond act, Kiss Me Again, was moat
dainty, piquant bit of work. 1t was her
first appearance here in tights, cos
tune that her symmetry makes most
attractive.
Louise Hsrshaw as the Princess was
very pleasing in the ouintette, When
Love Is Young, in the second act. led
by Douglas Flint. Her singing and Hit
ting dance were very enjoyable.
Douglas Flint and Mr.. Calhoun made
plenty of fun. in which they were aided
by Miss Sylvester Cornish. She is q
young woman of considerable ability,
who ought to have better roles than
most of those she has been given. In
the Bohemian Girl, as the Gypsey
Queen. she showed herself an actress of
rare vigor and skill, as well as a
charming songstress.
Mr.. Lydink sang we'll last night, but
as Nanki Poo in the Mkado at the
matinee he scored an immense success.
One veteran opera gosr pronounced him
Rs the best Nanki he had ever seen.
The choral work was again remarka-
bly, excellent, and the whole affair WAS
excellent.
The entire engagement has been
pronounced success from all points of
view.
