At o'clock the house was crowded.
The usual exercises took place-tisht

passed almost unnoticed. The people
were waiting for the promised tragedy.
They wanted to see the white-robed
maiden devoured by the bear.
At last Gugusse and Nina entered the
ring. and the pent-up excitement Of the
crowd found vent in cheers. Nina was
witshingly beautiful in her white tosa
over which fell tresses Of rich dsrk
hair. She looked like the white-souled
martyrs Of old. for whom the stake
had no terrors. She advanced to the
center OF the ring, and Gugusse. look.

tacular presentation of classical or
tragic drama now and then, which arc
usually exhibitions of scenic, rather than
dramatic art, this field has been almost
entirely abandoned of late, and conse-
quently the return of Nine Madjeska,
the greatest living tragedienne of the
English-speaking stage, has almost the
element of novelty. Her genius Is too
we'll known and has been too long ac-
lnowledged to require comment or intro
duction; her engagement will be boon
to those who lament the loss Of that
grand coterie of actors of which For
rest, McCulloch, Booth and Salvini were
such shining lights, and they will cher
ish the reflection that she is the sole
surviving representative of that Illus
trious group.
Modjeska's advent will likewise ap-
peal with much force to representatives
of the educational institutions of st.
Paul, where the study of Shakespeare
is part of the literary course, for as
reader of blank verse, she has not been
equaled in the memory of the playgoer
of the past two decades. Her repertoire
this season includes Anthony and Cleo

Nine. Modjeska recently played three
nights engagement in Cleveland, o.,
which is said to have broken all records
at the Euclid Avenue opera house for
the same number OF performances, the
receipts being nearly $4,000. 1t was Mod
jeska's first appearance there in nine
or ten years, her last visit having been
when she was touring the country with
Edwin Booth. On that occasion the re-
ceipts for the week amounted to not
quite $1,000, which was rather bad con-
sidering that the average weekly re-
ceipts of the Booth h-Modjeska tour were
over $4,000. 1t was for this reason that
Count Bozenta, Modjeska's husband, had
studiously avoided the town ever since,
and this season he had repeatedly guyed

baritone, Ffrangcon Davies, assisted by
the Schubert club chorus and orchestra.
Ffrangcon Davies was born in romantic
North Wales, educated for the church,
elected classical exhibitioner of his col
lege, and graduated as M. A of Oxford
university. He inhaled music with the
air of musical Wales in his boyhood,
and when fate led him to reside in Lon
don, he was rapidly drawn into the vor-
tex of professional life, at the advice of
E1en like Randegger, Shakespeare, Hill
and others. His career started in 1890,
and is striking example of rapid sue
cess. He has sung in opera in Drury
Lane and Covent Garden, London and
In -oratorio and lieder recitals all over
England and America, in which latter
country he has been associated with An
ton Seidl, Walter Damrosch, Theodore
T. Thomas, Frank Van der Stucken and
others, appearing for the New York Phil
harmonic, New York Oratorio and SYM
phony societies, as we'll as at the last
Cincinnati festival. This spring he has
been identified with the most important
festivals of America, such as Indianapo-
the leading musical organizations and
oratorio productions in this country, in
cluding Boston, Chicago, ST. Louis Gin
cinnati and New York, where his Eli
jah" was pronounced by the entire press
to be masterpiece of vocal art and a
new creation in conception, transcending
anything that has been heard in this
