A Grent Star. Supported by n SPLEEN
did Company.

DE Wolf Hopper and his splendid com
pany drew an audience to the Academ!
of Music last evening that packed tn,
playhouse TO the doors.
IT was a very brilliant assemblage
Most Of the ladies and gentlemen were
In evening dress. and the magnificent
| picture presented behind the footlights
by the company was dazzled by the ar
ray Of beauty in the auditorium.
II was Mr.. Hopper's first appearance
In this city as star, and had he searched
his operas over he could not have touched
one that could bear comparison with
Sousa and Klein's creation, aptly enti-
tied "El-Capitan," the great.
The music Is catchy throughout, and
there is scarcely a tune in the score that
Will not be heard upon the streets this
morning
The famous Boom march. more COM
monty known as the "El-Capitan" march.
Is familiar here now; but with the i'm
petus given II last evening the air will
be increased in popularity.
De Wolf Hopper, as "Don Medigua."
afterwards "El-Capitan." was the merri-
est man in the house last evening. He
seems to enjoy himself as much as the
audience, and he cavorted and whirled
around the stage with many comical ac-
tons.
After the second act he gave a witty
up-to-dato before-the-curtaln talk that
was as amusing as anything in the
opera. Next 10 Mr.. Hopper i'm the fun
making comes jolly little Alfred Klein, |
rs the "Euckless Chamberlain" with "A |
DAD Of trouble TO carry Edmund Stanley, |
he tenor Of the company, has a fine part
n the character of Count ViradO." He |
las a splendid voice.
OF course charming little Edna Wal
ace Hopper, the wife of the big come
Ian, was the prime favorite as "Es-
reda." She is a fascinating little woman.
nd full Of life, ever ready TO be active
nd help make the moments merry.
Miss Alice JudsOn essayed the part of
