Stable Manure.

however, vast amount of manure from

THE WEDDING DAY."
The Star Comic Opera Performance at
the Hyperion Last night.

The Star Comic Opera Performance at
the Hyperion Last night.
Three we'll known comic opera stars
held forth in song and story at the Hy-
perion theater last evening. They
were Miss Lillian Russell, Miss Della
Fox and Jefferson De Angels. The
audience was extremely large, despite
the fact that the prices were increased
for the performance. The production
is called THE Wedding Day" and the
story is by Stanilaus Strange and the
song by, Julian Edwards. These gen
tlemen had a most difficult task to
perform. 1t is considered almost i'm
possible so to construct plot as to
satisfy one lone star in the various es-
sentials Of good entrances, solos, etc.
But to satisfy three-that were para
doxical. Yet THE Wedding Day" must
have met the requirements fairly well,
or peace would not have reigned thus
long. The piece was given as a special
engagement for one month at the Ca
sino last spring. Proving successful to
an unusual degree, the combination
was held intact for the road, and they
have had a wonderful season, it is said.
That harmony has obtained is the more
to be marvelled at when one considers
that the last of these three, Mr.. De
Angels, has the best part and holds
the stage for the greater part of the
time.
Miss Russell has a role that lies well
within her abilities. AS Lucille dHer-
blay she looks and acts the patrician
conspiratress with easy grace. There
are no signs of the years. She is as
sumptuously and radiantly beautiful
as ever. There was report yesterday
afternoon that Miss Russell was i'll and
would not sing. She seemed troubled
with a cough, but she sang with her
customary spirit, and her voice Is al
ways of lovely quality and we'll pro-
duced. The little song in the last act
about the "Tom4Tit'' was charmingly
rendered.
Della Fox has good soubrette role,
of the kind the public likes to see her
in. She has certain gift for humor,
and If she cannot sing she can certain
ly dance.
Jefferson De Angels has easily the
best role, and he carries with him most
of the applause. He is always an

the last act last night, he was sponta-
neously funny to an extraordinary de-
gree. His topical song, "'Twas a
Dream was, of course, wildly rede-
manded
The singer Of the organization is the
contralto, Miss Lucille Saunders. She
has the voice for grand opera, but she
probably prefers the safety and profits
of the less glorious field of comic opera.
Her solo in the second act was ex-
tremely well done. Other we'll known
| members of the organization are Will
liam Pruette, Tom Greene and Albert
McGuckin.
The piece was well put on, The cos
tunes and scenery were both good.
The chorus was fair, but the orchestra
was quite unsatisfactory.
