Francis Wilson made his first appearance
before a Houston audience last evening,
but his reputation had preceded him aid
the opera house was filled TO the stand
ing room only" point. II was such nu
audience, too, as any star on the stage
might have been proud to draw together.
That the evidences OF approval throughout
the evening were enthusiastically and re-
peatedly manifested, is sufficient COM
incubation in itself of the attraction. Half
a King is not the best comic opera OF
the boards. but 1t is a good one. full OF
funny situations, of some bright dialogae
and some excellent music There is ant
so much of the catchy tuneful kind OF
music, however, as in many other con-
positions with which the public is familiar.
The choral parts are strong and stirring
and were admirably rendered last evening,
while a pleasant air or duet is introduced
here and there. Among the latter is the
"Sassiety' song by Mr.. Wilson and III
Were Really a King also rendered by
him. The duet between Miss CHASER and
Mr., Elder was also pretty and met with
a warm encore.
and tho lively action when properly pre-
sented that constitute the really enjoyable
features And II is especially in Francis
Wilson's manner, his magnetism vivaclty
and ease and pecullarites OF speech, that
his capacity TO entertain and hmuse is
found. He has no voice TO speak OF. but
there are little arts innumerable in the
way he has that get out all the fun there
is in either situation or song. That he
made decidedly favorable impression last
evening as comedian of unusual talent,
was easily apparent.4.As the jolly, reckless
nlountebank. leader Of gang of rough
followers. placed for a time in tho midst
of aristocratic surroundings. dressed In fine
clothes and playing dangerous game. he
displayed intelligence. art versatility and
unquestionable superiority as a funmaker
There is an originality about him that liz
refreshing.
Too much praise can not be accorded Miss
Chaser. who as pierrette. his adopted
daughter. is central figure OF interest.
She sings sweety and acts well and has
an extremely pleasant manner and engag
ing personality. Miss Wynn WAS also at
tractive as LuciDde. while Mr.. Lang and
Mr.. Elder furnished excellent support as
Mistigris and Houore, respectively.
The opera was handsomely staged, the
costumes being picturesque and elegant.

safety of the country and its most sacred
duties In spite of everything l am conf
