The great event of the New York opera
season was the production of 'Siegfried'
last week, with Jean de ResZke in the title
part and Melba as Brunhilde, both new to
their respective rolls. James Hunneker, of
the Commercial Advertiser, one of the most
reliable critics of New York, says of the
performance: 1.-The night was the crown
ing achievement of that most masterfui,
most magnetic man and artist, Jean de
Reszke. His SieGfried enchanted us by its
bouyancy elasticity, and at the last by its
virility and passion. He looked to me
young enough to play Little Lord Faunt-
leroy, so all notion of senile son of Sieg-
, mund was dispelled by the sight of this
picturesque, graceful young fellow who
made us forget Alvary and sang Wagners $
wonderful music as it has never been sung
here before. Vogl, Gudehus, Alvary and
Gruening fade before the noble vocal
speech of De Reszke. Edouard de Reszke
was noble Wanderer and his scene with
Erda superb. OF course, Melba's advent
in the later music drama was awaited with
curiosity. Her Brunhilde is not the hardy
warrior maiden, nor has she the lungs for
that big duo-finale, but she sang with more
breadth and passion than we credited her
with, and she sang beautifully the lyric
passages. The enthusiasm was tremendous
and Jean de Reszke must have gone to his
rest with the conviction that he made the
hit of his life. And so he did, until he
sings Siegmund and the elder Siegfried.
He is. the master singer of ALL

Town Topics" one of the most preten-
tious farce comedies seen on the dramatic
horizon this season. is the attraction at
the Grand opera house this week. Town
Topics" comes in the height Of a brilliant
success, with nothing but victories. 1t is
a brand new farce, peopled with some of
the best known and highest salaried farce
comedy talent before the public. 1t is in
three acts, and was written for laughing
purposes only. It is not freighted with any
very great plot, nor is there any effort
to find hidden treasures or restore some
fellow long lost farm. Pretty girls, clever
comedians. new music and a bunch of
clever ideas have been nodded into two and
half hours of pure. invigorating amuse-
ment- Among the principals may be mem
toned William Keller, William H. Mack,
John Queen, James Tenbrook, Phil Oft,
Joseph Harrington. William Nelson, Frank
Caverly A. NJ. Miller and Elise Nugent.
