no hesitation in saying that there has

From the first chapter to the last there
is a delicacy of farce and an intellec-

THEY LOVE THE ThEATER.

Havana Residents, Though Few, support
Grand Opera for Months ut Time.
One Of the oldest places in Havana
is the theater. Here, as elsewhere, the
men and women are seated apart. In
Come of them, at the end Of each act
the house is emptied, and patrons are
compelled to purchase a ticket for
every act Of the performance. 1t Is a.
sort OF seeing the show on the Euro
pean plan. In connection with the
theater, however, it Is worthy to note
that Havana is probably the only city
of little over quarter of million
population on this continent that suu-i
ports comic ana grand opera tor con-
secutive months, with seats selling for
three dollars and upward. says the Bos-
ton Transcript. The home of opera is
the Tacon theater, which was erected
in 1887 at cost of four hundred thou,
sand dollars, since which time more
than thirty-fve thousand dollars has
been expended at different times in re-
pairing 1t. There are fourteen exits,
and the seating capacity is said to be
four thousand two hundred and fifty.
A visit to this house on an evening
when some favorite prima donna is to
appear Is one long to be remembered.
