coarse and vugar-yulgar in their appear

constantly did she exploit herself
and SO arrogantly that one

Grand opera is one of those forms Of
entertainment which are so sublime that
but step is required to make them ridi-
culous. The Royal Italian Opera Com
pany took that step last week in man
ner that need not be recalled. There We're
several people in the company who sang
well, but the organization labored IN
rough manner the choruses were wretch
ed and the spectacular features of the
performances were poor beyond consider
alton. On top of this comes the fact that
most of the people in the cast were not
only totally unable to act but adsurdly
awkward in the bargain. Tim Murphy
once said that man with the name OF
Mike Sullivan could not play Hamlet
with success were he the greatest actor
of his time, and there were some people
with the Royal Company whose best eff
forts were made only laughable by the
blunders which accompanied them. one
of these men was Signor f. Collenz
whose singing was not so bad and who
would have done passably had he not gri-
maced frightfuIly, seized every opportuni-
ty to trip over his sword, walked into
stray properties about the stage and 9th
erwise made himself a target for ridicuie.
Signor Collenz was evidently modest for
never was a curtain call given that the
rising drop did not discover him leaving
the platform only to be dragged back by
force as the canvas fell. Such incidents
would have marred a series of perform
ances much better than We're those given
by the Royal Italian, etc, and may ac-
count in some degree for the unpopulartty
the organization has achieved all over
the country.

Manager Charles H. Ellis has officially
announced that a season of grand opera
under his direction will begin on January
at the Lafayette and continue for four
nights. The Ellis Opera Company is one
of the most ambitious organizations OF its
character ever assembled. In addition to
having as one of its chief members the
greatest colotura singer OF her generation
Nine. Melba, it contains list of pr ncipals
who are both eminent and renowned 1he
organization is now playing an engage
ment of seven weeks at the Academy of
Music in Philadelphia, and the enthusiasm
of its press accounts seems to be justified
by the universal interest which has been
aroused. One of the most successful sea-

That delightfully."- merry monarch, Fran.

House on Januray with his latest and
what is said to be his greatest success
1.-The Little Corporal" This opera, the
work of Harry B. Smith and Ludwig Eng
lander, was given the warmest sort of a
reception recently in New York, where
it ran for some months at the Broadway
Theater. The press of Gotham appeared
much pleased with the vehicle and lent
its aid to making the metropolitan en-
gagement distinct triumph. The book
of the piece was said to be not only wit
ty but abundant in opportunities, while
the period in which the story was set was
described as having provided an unusu-
ally happy excuse for furnishing pictur-
esque costumes and scenery. In the
score, Mr.. Englander is supposed to have
taken advantage of every chance offered
by the libretto and to have furnished in
quick succession martial music topical
songs and dainty ballads. OF course, Mr..
Wilson has not changed and his humor
nay be counted upon as being as conta-
gious and refined as ever. The star is
supported by an excellent company and
will undoubtedly do an excellent business
here.
