the euphoniotG name, attractive personality
and well trained voice, charmed very
large audience last night at the New Ma
tional Theates. EHer opera has the tails
manic title of Madeleine, or the Magic
Kiss"
As Miss D'Arville is so well and so favor
ably known to the theater-g DING public as
the Maid Marian and Robin H ood, 1t wasan-
ticipated that as Madeleine. or as anything
or anybody else III comic opera, she would
have produced a success. = The success OF her
opera and her own Individual splendid ini-
precision left, on the audience last night
should be as gratifying to the accom- plished
actress as to her admirers who are numbered
in four figures.
The ensemble strength of the company was
pleaHingly demonstrated in the Zinc chorus
in the iinale of the second act.
Mics D'Arville sang 1.-THE Unkissed Maid"
with her accustomed sprig and
vivacity. She gained fevcral recalls for
the dainty little cong. 20 Fickle Heart.

handsomely received.

melodious baritone. which he used with
excellent effect in his pretty solo, 'Oh
Lady, Fair Lady, in the first act;
The parts of DR.. Gourmet. by George
G.. Boniface, Jr., the Baron de Grim, by
Horace W. Rovenscroft: Mary Doodle. by
Rose Leighton; Francois, by Frank Tur-
ner; julie, by Henry Stanley, were all
| cleverly' performed and sung.
The opera is light and up to the standard
of the entertaining quality of the period

melodious and catchy newcomers
Fred Warde opened his engagement last
night at the Lafayette Square Opera House
in THE Mountebank," production wnlch
permits full play to his capabilities. Ihe

several good people higher than the average
terpreters.

nishes many opportunities for emotional
acting. The closing scene of the seconc-act
| is q finely dra wn creation and IL was III
| this, perhaps, that the climax OF thal
| quality was reached. In this II womb De
| difficult to speak too highly of the acting
| of Mr. Warde As Belplegor he here dis-
| covers whathe assumes to be the desertion
of his wife, Madeline. His portrayal or
grief in this scene was masterluiIy ooue.
| In this scene Miss Fanny Bowman as HeHTl
also deserved the appreciative aI,p.iuse
| which greeted the close OF TINS intense
scene.
Tonight Mr.. warde will be seen in ''The
| Lions Mouth" in which he plays Paui
| de Noyarra This play takes one on a
| scenic tour of Venice and back into the
| days of the Doges. 1t is powerful pro
duction and in Noyarra Mr.. Warde and his
opportunity again meet.
