nary interest to Kansas City pIaygoers since i, Il,
not often that Kansas City enjoys the novelty OF

The grand opera season at Convention hall becomes
more promising it approaches Mr.. krorbe.g YES
terday received an offer from Mr.. Grau to mike
''Niisnon'' OF the Hills. with exceptionally fine
cast for all of the operas. ard offer was the
best arrangement Of casts yet proposed Mr. Kron-
berg promptly accepted. As the engagement now
stands. the rcrertory Will be follows:
Monday night. Carmen with Calye and fine
cast: other principals not named.
Tuesday afternoon. ''MigaGn' with De Lussah
Susanna Adams. Ploncon and SaIignac
TUESDAY night. Faust with Sembrich Dipple
Campanari and De ReSxke.
This arrangement. II carried out. will give Kansas
City all OF the great singers result that was hardly
to be expected in 50 brief an engagement The
Faust cast Is surely an ideal one with Sembrich
as Marguerite De ResZke MephistO-his greatest
part, Dipple Faust and Campanari as Valentine.
There have been good many petitions to substitute
Miss Adams for De Lussan by people who did not
want TO miss opportunity to hear the young Amer
lean who has risen TO such exalted position on
the operate stage These petitions came. Of course
from people who had heard De Lussan last season.
The 'Mignon' cast will bring them both before the
public in the bill, and with them the great
basso Pioncon.
The sale of single seats will go on Monday morning
next. The prices will range from 81 to S..
The theaters have been doing we'll this week In
spite OF the attractions. There has par
ticuar pressure at the Auditorium. where "Chareys
Aunt has been catching big crowds Last night,
Wednesday night and the Wednesday matinee it
the stage accommodate all who desired to
witness the farce.
