The comic opera, 1.-THE Isle of Cham
payne" was presented at the Belfast Opera
House last Thursday evening before large
and enthusiastic audience. The company
proved all that it was represented to be, and
the performance went off with a fizz-not
fZzle-and sparkle that attested the musi-
cal and dramatic talent of those upon the
stage. "Dck' Golden was overwhelmingly
funny as usual, but did not monopolize all
the fun. There were others. Miss Maude
Lillian Berri had warm reception from her
friends here, and her singing and stage pres
ence were alike pleasing. She was the re-
cipient of some beautiful roses, and was en-
cored several times. While the company is
large one the expense of transporting the
costumes of the ballet cannot be very great
and extra baggage counts in the bills of a
travelling troupe. We hope the Isle of Cham
payne company may pop in upon us again at
no distant day.
