The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1898-11-19
GoNDoLIER NOTES.


1t has been reported that the Free Kin
uergarten association, for whose benefit
THE Gondolier'' performances are to be
given, is connected with a particular
church, and is, therefore, denomnationaI.
This report Is wholly erroneous. The
members of the Free kindergarten as
SoCiation are connected with and represent
tho various denominations of the city
and hence their work is no more cXclu-
Sive in its character than is that of the
Home for the Friendless, or any of tho
other public charities of the city. The as
sociation is working for the good of hui
manity without reference to creed or
color.
The Free kindergarten association have
just sent AN announcement to the Homo
for the Friendless that all inmates Of The
Home will he given free admittance to the
matinee performance of The GOndoicrs'
on Wednesday afternoon.
For only ten cents every person who at.
tends "The Gondoliers" can have in his
hands "A beautiful souvenir programme
which contains every word of the entire
opera, in other words the complete librot-
70. This will add very largely TO the cn-
Joyment Of the performances.
Tho first appearance of play or an
opera in large cities of Europe is always
Il gala affair. All the notablcs of the
city, literary, musical, artistic and social
are present. In Paris, for example, the
simple announcement of premiere rep
resentation," or first performance, is tho
signal for a brilliant gathering. The play
has been written about, talked about-at
last the great opportunity has arrived
when monsieur and madame may see il
and hear 1t for themselves; and then
what fine opportunity for meeting ones
friends, for of course they will all be
there. A similar interIs st is being taken
in Scranton in the first performance of
THE Gondoliers" next Monday evening
The opera has been written about its
beauties have been cXtolled by all who
take part in it and now that the premiere
representation" draws near everybody cN.
poets to so.
Miss Katharine Timborman gained
scores Of new admirers on account of her
delightful singing at the organ concert
In Elm Park church last week. The fact
that she is to take the role of the Coun-
tess of Plaza-Toro in the operatlc per-
formances next week Will add greatly to
their success
