Local Talent Distinguishes Itself in
the "Pirates of Penxancev

H"e" ihieht DistinKutshes Itself in
the "Pirates of Penxnnce."
Tho production of the pirates of Pen
zance' last night by local talent under the
auspices of st. Agnes guild OF st. Paul's
church was one of the most successful enter
tainments ever given at the Dohany The
thoater was filled with a fashionable au-
Glence and the singers acquitted themselves
with credit The pretty Gilbert and Sulli-
van onera was staged and costumed in ad-
mirahle taste and tho performance was di-
rected by George Byron Browne formerly
leading baritone with the Trocadero Opera
company.
Mr.. Browne assumed the leading role the
Pirate King, and rendered the sonorous solos
In fine style. One OF the evenings surprises
was Miss Caldwell's Interpretation of the
role of Mabel. Miss Caldwell has a clear,
high soprano voice which shows considerable
training, and her singing of the waltz song
in the first act with tho difficult and trying
staccato movement was well rendered
Throughout the opera she met the difficult
requirements Of her role with ease and made
pretty picture in her dainty gown and big
hat. Mr.. Mitchell sang the tenor solos en-
trusted to Frederic with ease and finish,
and Mrs Mullis was clever in the role of
Ruth. Forest Rutherford as Samuel and
Won Haller rs the major general did well,
while Perry Badollet as the chief OF police
with makeup that was rich take-off on
Chief Albro scored a decided hit. Miss
Brock as Edith. one of the major generals
daughters, displayed a rich voice and
good stage presence. The male chorus
work throughout was fine but the girls
chorus could have been improved by better
attention during rehearsals. They looked
pretty, however, and were daintily costum ed.
Tho finest ensemble work was the prayer
at the close Of the first act which was enthu-
siastically applauded. Special praise is due
Miss Wright for her strong sympathetic
accompaniments. Seldom does a player
WELD so strong an influence over amateurs
as did Miss Wright and to her efforts is
due much OF the success OF the performance.
Miss Emma Moore and Miss Maude Besley
as Kate and Isabel. daughters of Major
General Stanley, made pretty pictures. The
