The audience at the California Theater

an opera comique in three acts, which is
usually considered enough for an even
ing's entertainment. A lavish manage
ment evidently did not consider it enoug n,
SO LES Dragons" was eked out with
Massenet's hour of concentrated agony,
LA Navarraise," which contains enough
excitement to spread over half dozen of
the older operas.
La Navarraise" was certainly inspired
by LA Cavalleria Rusticana," but Mas
senet and Henri Cain resolved to go one
better in the way of sensation than Mas
cagni and his librettists. These French
gentlemen succeeded. There is not bar
in the work in which nervous spectators
are not on tenterhooks of excite ment,
and even the most phlegmatic auditors
feel cold perspiratlon bespangle their
brows as the iurid story of LA Navar-
raise" unfolds itself.
There was not much applause last night,
but that was not the fault of the music
nor of its Interpreters. Massenet has con-
structed his Mascagnesque opera on the
modern lyric drama plan, which is a
stranger to the pezzi stdccdti that admit of
epcores. In La Navarraise" everything
follows 30 consecutively that there is not
breathing space for applause, much less
for encores. At the beginning of the first
tableau the audience, not being edu Gated
up to modern lyric drama, broke in with
some untlmely manifestations of pleasure.
but they were quickly quelled and the in
discretion was not repeated.
At the end of the end of the second
tableau the principals were recalled re-
peatedly.
Nine. Foedor was the only star member
OF the company in LA NayarraIse,"
which was perhaps a concession to the
oft-repeated statement that she owns the
opera whenever she appears in it. She
certainly did brilliant work as Anita,
have been more tragic had her low notes
been as powerful and dramatic as her
high tones.
Eiward Dec does not sing nearly so
well as either Provost or Massart, but he
acts much better than either of the lead
ing tenors, and on that account be was
we'll placed in the role of Araquil, which
would be abused if badly acted. Freiche
was good as the ruthless father, and
Javid m ade an excellent Garrido.
LES Dragons de Villars'' is standard
opera comique, but last night most of the
people who appeared in it were operetta
singers, and, as might have been ex-
pected, the orchestration was too heavy
for them. Freiche. who played Belamy,
the dissipated Marechal du Cogis, was
quite equal to the requirements IS OF his role.
Nine. Savine played the prosecuted
Rose, who saves the Pasteur and his
proscrit flock from the gay dragons, and
very charming she was in the part, par
ticulariy in the last act. though her voice
was not equal to the recitatives.

barry will sing the title role in Am

BUFFALO BILLS START.

Mere Accident Eade the Well Known
Scout "A Snowman.
An old Ncbraskan was speaking of
Buffalo Bill recently, and incidentally
he told how he came to engage i'll the
show business.
Cody was for years a government
scout on the western plains" said the
Nebraska man. land it was when he
conducted the buffalo eXterminating en-
petition for the entertainment of the
Grand Duke Alexis in lS1O-I think it
was-that he got his name. Cody at
that time distinguished himself by the
number Of butfaloos he killed. and there
by earned his cognomen, which vas
given him by the duke. While he was
well known as Il scout, he would prob
ably ha .e nevec been widely known as
n Snowman except FOR au accident.
1T was in 1881 that the people OF
North Platte, Ncl., near which town
WIS Ccdy's ranch, decided to celebrate
the Fourth Of July, and at the suGgcs-
ton of John Keith. who is Il wealthy
ranchman at sutherland and North
Platte and formerly claim adjuster of
the Union Pacific, they selected a wild
west show. Cody was one of the men
most prominently interested i'll the
scheme, and TO him was left the work
of securing the cowboys and Indians to
help ont the show. In North Platte at
the time was an old stagecoach owned
by Jim Stephenson of Omaha, who was
the proprietor of the Dcadwood- Sidney
and other western stage lines. At the
suggestion Of Cody the Indians We're to
attack the coach and be rcpulsed by the
cowboys and soldiers.
THAT Fourth was the hottest cele-
bration of American Independence eve
seen III Nebraska. The Omaha papers
had men to cover it, and it attracted IL
crowd from all parts Of the west. The
programme which Cody and Keith ar
ranged included riding wild horses,
shooting, rope throwing and all the 9TH
er amUsements and business proceedings
of u western man.
1T was a few days after the enter
tainment, if such it may be called, that
Matt Keith. no relation Of John. but an
old time western man, told Cody that IL
was IA big thing and ought to be repeat
ed every Fourth of July. Cody at once
said that it was something new il
American entertainments, and he be.
lieved that BY taking the aggregation
east he could make money. The matter
was discussed in North Platte, and
finally Cody said that he would ad.
vance the money AID start ont. He did
so, and his success is well known.

A NIGHT SONG.

Under the white moon, Sita,
The lilies lie awake.
And red as blood in flower and bud.
And all for your sweet sake,
The eager rose o'erleaps the close
And climbs the coiuuned wall
To hide his face in the drifts of lace
That over your lattice fall.
The dead sweet scent Of the wooihine
Some lanSUid breeze hath stirred.
And out of the dark, dow hGuntc, park
Floats the pipe of n restless bird,
And far and faint the gurglc and pluint
or the wood brook sounGs alone
As l listen and pine for some answering
sign,
Some whisper of thine, my owni
/ lie with the lilies, Mia,
Under thy lattice bars,
And the infinite night brims over
With the glory Of moon and stars,
And the vouing ~woodbine's passionate spice
Out of tine darkness blows
And fainjs and dies with the mingled signs
Of perfumcd lily and rose.
Yet rest thee, my beloved. since
No prayer OF mini may win
The crystal walls of slumber
That SHIT thee softly in.
