pleasing soprano voice TO great advant-

ans Although she did not comply with
the demands Of the audience for an en-

vored them with repetition of part

much appreciated" The Lady's Pic

the above concert. says: 1.-THE vocalist
Of the occasion was Miss Sadie Kaiser,
who, to a bright and telling organ,
brings the sunshine Of intelligence. We
wish that more English singers sang
their French and German with so much
of adaptability as we'll as ability" Miss
Kaiser expects to return to America

A great musical and humorous event
will be the engagement at the Froth-
ingham next week of the fayorite and
ever popular Wilbur Opera company.
For years our theater-goers have come
to look for the annual engagement Of
the Wilburs as something not to be
overlooked, and Judging from the many
inquiries received by the manager as to
the repertoire and sale of seats, this
season will be no exception. The COM
pany Is very little changed from last
year, but the productions are In every
way bigger and more complete. Man
added to his already enormous assert.
ment of costumes, until now the unparal-
leled number of 40 trunks are used to
convey the monster wardrobe from
town to town. Each opera now has its
own separate costumes. and no dress II
worn in two different productions. The
living pictures which were acknowl-
edged last year to be the finest on the
road. are produced now on a scale of
magnificence far in excess of a year
ago, Manager Wilbur has at great ex-
pense secured q neW and superb lighting
apparatus by which the pictures are
made to appear more realistic than be-
| fore. and the reliefs and posturings are
brought out in O manner hitherto
deemed impossible. Mr.. Wilbur has
also secured some of the original models
| which were used by Herr Kilanyi when
| the pictures were first nut on at Vian-
ma. which are said to be the best in their
were after these girls. but Wilbur, with
his well-known business energy, mail
aged to carry away the coveted prize,
and the models will be seen here with
the Wilbur company and no one else.
| While all the favorite comic operas IN
which this company has been seen here
during the past visits have been re-
tained in the repertoire and will be seen
here during tn coming engagement, Mr..
Wilbur has !his season delved into the
recesses OF the past, and revived some
Of the lyric gems Of long ago, which
Will never grow old. and whose beauti-
full melodies are even more welcome
today than when they were first new
