In last nights, performance was apparenly

from the appearance OF the house,
The performance was commendable In the

estness and animation were always evident,
and the work Of the chorus was excellent, The

semble singing and the appearance OF the
choristers furnished the same agreeable con

himself an experienced conductor who managed
his still somewhat unpublished and Insufficient
orchestral forces in conventOnally acceptable
fashion The stage management was marked
By Intelligence and the performance moved
With commendable smoothness In view OF
the fact that the company had not sun It

part Of that large mould His voice is a lyric
tenor agreeable in quality and used with skill
although he was forced TO proceed cautiously
In music 40 unsuited to his powers.
William PAUL in the sympathetic role OF
Worrdm easily outranked his associates, He
acted with intelligence and the certainty Of
experience, and his control Of an admirably
vibrant and sonorous haryone voice wasmarked

Rita Elandi's Etidbeh was a disappointment
mitiRated only by her evident desire "a do the

Her vocalism was of a kind that is fortunately
