A GENUINE COMIC OPERA.

eel Captain" Is a genuine comic OPP
era. 1t is not only tuneful as such a
work must be. first OF all, but legitimate
and self-respectIng. It is considered
one of the brightest works that has
ever been presented in the field Of COM
ic opera, and the spirit Of Liberty Bell
throbs and beats all through 1t. John
Phillip Sousa has literally endowed the
piece with his intoxicating marches and
they At admirably into the military
plot. His eel Captain" march is con-
sldercd the greatest of all his brilliant
successes and only recently, when San
tlago was surrendered to the Ameri-
cans, the band played Sousa's popular
marches from TEL Captain" as well as
yankee Doodle" Dixie" and THE
Star Spangled Banner" The coming OF
this worthy attraction to the Opera
House next Wednesday will also mark
the advent of an entirely new company,
which is said to be a competent one in
every respect, and the original scenery
and effects will also be in evidence.
