THE HARRIS BROTHERS. OPERAS
At the Grand Opera House, commencing
Sunday night, April g. and continuing for
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday follow
ing with matinoes on each of the last three
days, the Harris Brothers will present
series of programs made up from their op-
eras which will give the public an opportu-
nifty to witness their efforts in the roman
tic, lyric and burlesque school Of light mu
sic. They will offer scenes from six of their
best compositions, two of which-'The
Three Dukes and '"The Hula Girl'-have
received the favorable verdict of the pub
lic Four are yet to be submitted, but 1t is
believed that they will take as high rank
and be as favorably received as those
which have already been performed. From
the former offerings of the Harris Broth
ers it may be safely assumed that the casts
will include the best local singers, with
possibly some of established reputation out
side the city of Washington. These young
gentlemen have been diligent students and
interchangeable workers. and the operas that
have been subjected to the test of public
representation have given evidence of abil-
ity of a high order 1t is believed that the
management of the Grand Opera House
has strengthened its hold upon the amuse-
n ent-loving community in securing the
Messrs Harris to present their works.
