greatly improved upon, and met with
shrieks of laughter and applause. There
Is dash and go from start to finish. The
company is excellent. Stella Mayhem, a
versatile soubrette, Is a clever character

hot time parody was re-demanded time
and time again. William Lang, as Snap
per. is agile and a wonderful acrobat. and
does a strong speciality. Madge Maitland
possesses a rich baritone voice which she
uses with effect. The Thompson tots, 5

must be seen to be appreciated. They
sing and act like veterans. W. II. Bond

Scalchi, who comes TO the Seattle theater
Tue sday, December 81 Mime. Scalchi is
the world-renowned contraito, who has
sung before more nobility and cultured
people of he world than any artist of her
time. She was at one time associated so
closely with the triumphs of Patti that
she became too much of rival and had
to be reiegated to some other part OF the
globe when the caprici) ls soprano became
jealous of the grand contralto. Scaichi
has been the principal contralto of all the
best opera houses In the world, and II Is
only because there is no really grand
opera in New York this winter that the
provinces are vouchsafed this treat. With
the famous contraito is associated the
magnificent prima donna soprano Mile.
