 GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
 The ever welcome Wilbur Opera com pany opened a weeks engagement yes- terday to large audiences at both after noon and evening performances. The
 house was very cool, despite the warm
 weather outside. Fra Diavolo" was
 chosen as the opening attraction. The
 opera has been heard here before, but
 not frequently. The old favorites were
 seen in more or less congenial roles.
 Miss Eloise Mortimers carried the role
 of Zerlina and a most capable perform
 ance was hers. She was pretty and
 dainty in the role, pleasing the eye at
 all times, while her singing was excel
 lent She was in unusually good voice
 and did not show the wear and tear one
 would suppose would be the case from
 such constant and arduous work
 There are few artists who could stand the strain of strenuous season as well
 as has Miss Mortimer and make as ex-
 cellent a record as a vocalist and act ress, singing in ten or twelve perform
 anceS week.
 Mr. Clark gave a capital impersona-
 ton of the robber, sang delightfully."-
 and acted with unusual dash and spir- it. His fall in the last act is mos
 realistic piece of work, and decidedly
 earned the curtain call it received. Miss Madge Bolton made all that wa! possible of Lady Allcash, and it wa refreshing to find the role so well cast MT. Drew was sufficiently amusing a Lord Allcash, and acquitted himsel creditably in his singing.
 J. E. Conley was excellent as Lorenz : and gave @ consistent and pleasinl !. rendering of the part.
 : MT. Kohnle is a born comedian. an' !, his part last night was one that jus suited him. Claude Amsden was ex , cellent as Giacomo. Gus Vaughan wa also well received Miss Tucker an , Edith Tedro looked charming as tn , servants. l.. Pincus is also deservin
 of credit for his work
 II After each performance series c , living pictures is given. MT. Wilbu , has spared no time or expense to giv , these pictures on an elaborate scal' 2 They are given in a most exceller '' manner and cost has not been counte 7 in the efforts to secure the best result There are about twenty pictures show
