AS THE CROWDS CONE OUT.

| Mime. Kronold is quite seriously indisposed.
At her appearance Monday night in 81 Pag-
liacci" she sang spiritedly, although it was
| announced that she had cold. Last night,
however, she could not appear, and Faust"
was substituted for Carmen" which had
I been promised as the programme.
1t is also feared that Nine. Kronold will be
unable to sing tonight. Guile and the full
remaining strength Of the company will how
ever sing in ''The Huguenots."
The programme announced Tor next week
Is as follows: Monday Garment" Tuesday,
LA Traviata;" Wednesday, 'Aida;' Thurs
day, "Ernani;'' Friday, 1.-The Jewess;" Satur-
day matinee, ''Mignon. and Saturday night
double bill, "Cavalleria Rusticana" and the
entire opera Of ''Il Trovatore."
Miss Marlowe's industry and studious habits
are illustrated by her repertoire. It is some
thing worth tine telling when an actress can
in six or seven years, in addition to her
regular work on the stage, include in her
repertoire such parts as Rosalind, Beatrice,
Viola, Imogen, Katharine. Constadce, Gaiatea,
Parthenia. Julia, Juliet. Chatterton, and even
others. Every one OF these Miss Marlowe
plays. Her repertoire for next week includes
several of them.
The "Belle's Stratagem," which Miss Mar
lowe has just added to her list, and which she
plays next week, was a great fayorite with
his majesty George III and his queen, it is
said. Once every year after its first presenta-
tion 1t was by royal command produced at
court, until the King finally became SO weak
as to be unable to stand the fatigue OF witness
ing play. The play was originally dedicated
to the queen by her own request.
Tomorrow evening the Marine Band will
give another Of its great concerts. We are
proud Of our band.
The management has chosen Convention
hall, in order to accommodate the large audi
ence which always greets it. Manager Fan
ciulli will lead. and the following programme
OF his choosing will be given:
Part 1-Grand march, Army of the Potomac"
Fanciulli; overture, "William TELL" Rossini:
Potpourri, Columbian. national airs, Coates;
"Dance OF the Imps," Greig; medley, "a Night IN
Bohemia" Fanciulli; fantasie, "Mernory OF the
War, a Day in Camp in 1882 arranged for the

ron; voyage comique, "A Trip to Mars" Fanci-
ulli; musical Joke, Jolly Musicians" Muscat;
fantasie, plantation Echoes" Ross; march,

"Hail Columbia" Fyles.
"The Pirates of Penzance," which We re-
member so well but have not heard for long
time given by professionals, has been chosen
by Manager Strakosch for next week. This
dearly funny story and rarely catching music
is, some people think, the best production of
Gilbert and Sullivan. There can't be any
doubt about our wanting TO hear it again.
Miss Strakosch will sing Mabel. 1t is one
Of her star parts. Mamie Gilroy will appear
for the first time with the company. Kate
Bigelow will do the Major General and Brod-
erick the Pirate Chief.
