HAPPY COMBINATION.
Comic Opera and Vaudeville Score a
Success at the Park.

ionic opera ana NauoSVlIe OCOrS a
Success at the Park.
The management of the Park Thea
tire in making the new venture of run
ming comic opera together with the
vaudeville bill seems to have struck a
responsive chord in the audience, to
judge by the manner with which the
Kohnle company in Fra Diavolo'' was
received yesterday. The production is
not elaborate. there being no chorus
work as such, but the presentation
was fairly pleasing and the principals
show themselves to be no mean artists
in either their singing or portrayal of
the several parts. Joseph Smith as Fra
Diavolo has a rich baritone, and Miss
Vineent's soprano in the part of zerlina
is pure and sweet. P. H. Wood is the
tenor of the little company, and carries
out the difficult role OF Lorenzo very
well. j. A. Dewey and Miss Lillian
Taylor as Lord and Lady Allcash are
very good, and were encored several
times in their duets. The chief comedy
work is well done by James Donnelly
and W. H. Kohnle as Giacomo and Bep-
pc.
The vaudeville bill is particularly
good, too, the headliner being Mason
Mitchell the actor who went to Cuba
and took part in the battles Of Las
Guasimas and San Juan. He has an in
teresting story to tell of the fights and
the pictures shown on the screen during
the recital are of the highest order.
Smith and Cook, "the millionaires, .
have q mirth- provoking act in which
they introduce some excellent Stumbling
The Golden trio of singers, dancers and
comedians are novel and very funny,
the smallest member especially winning
a great deal of applause. The bill ends
with Katherine Kemp, a balladist, who
seems to be a favorite with the audi
ence.
On Thursday, Friday and Saturday
the Kohnle company will present that
delightful comic opera, 1.-The mascot"
which has lived so long and is so full
of pretty music.

BOTH SIDES ACTIVE
Socialist Factions Exhaust the Ian
auaqe for Epithets.

The socialist-labor party is divided
into factions beyond hope of reunion
of forces. There are two state central
committees representing the two So
cialist-labor parties of Massachusetts,
and both have headquarters in Wor-
cester. In the copies of the national
organs of the two factions, both printed
in the same general style, and both
called "The People" there are charges
and counter charges made against the
respective leaders.
Lucian Saniel of New York, one of
the leading lights in that section of the
socialist-labor party led by Daniel De
Leon, is coming east soon to lecture on
the history of the socialist-labor move
ment in the United States. Efforts are
to be made by the Worcester socialists
to induce him to come to Worcester
Mr.. Saniel is Partisan journalist who
has been long settled in America He

the rebellion for the Paris Temps He
was later conspicuous in the Paris COM
mune. He is an able speaker
