between the time of his going and the

SUMMER OPERA.
The Season to Open Sunday Night,
May 9th, at the Grand Opera

Manager George H. Walker, of the
firm of Walker & Rigsby, Of the Grand
opera house has just closed a contract
with the Juvenile Opera company for
a weeks engagement commencing on
Sunday night, May 9Th. Mr.. Walker
believes that the attraction will fill the
demand for low price amusement dur
ing the summer and he has taken good
care to book some of the best compa-
MES. Every possible convenience for
the patrons of the Grand opera house
has been provided for in case the
weather gets warm. In connection with
the sterling quality Of the attraction
and the low price of admission, should
result in good business throughout the
summer season. The company which
will open Sunday night is composed
of so artists, all children, and its rep
ertoire embraces the following operas,
only two or three of which have ever
been presented here: La Mascotte,
BOccaccio, Reg Que Rabio, Companos
De Camo, Miss Flea, Mariana, Afri-
cana, Labos Marines, Husar, Campan-
danos, Chateur MOrgans, Nina Pancha,
Africanistos, Caviar de Puntas, Las
Baturos, Verbenade de Paloma, Carode
Senoras, La Sociedad, La Graubia,
Chaleco, Blanco, Los Puritanos, Ger
taine Nacional and Auo Parade. The
company on it's way from Europe,
opened at the Academy of Music, New
Orleans for two weeks and made a
tremendous hit and was welcomed by
press and public. The following crit
icism of the Mascotte, is taken from
the New Orleans Picayune.
The Juvenile Opera company, now
singing at the Academy of Music made
a triumphant hit last night in the Mas
cote. A large and appreciative audi
ence was present and the popular num-
bers of the opera were repeatedly en-
cored, and the little singers were ap-
plauded to the echo. 1t can be said
that no better Bettina has been seen
here in any adult English, German or
French opera than was given last night
by little Miss Rodriguez. A number
of fat and coarse soubrettes have been
applauded in the part for unwarranted
kissing and other doubtful actions, but
they were far away from the real
character of Bettina, who was a sweet
and simple country girl, much in love
with her rustic friend, Pippo, the
sheep watcher. The little girl, who is
a delightful singer and every inch an
actress played Bettina as it should
be played, and Master Perdiguero took
the part of Lorenzo at the same high
valuation in an artistic sense. In fact
all the parts were well taken and the
chorus music was excellently sung.
