said of this artist and his exquisite work
in his different roles that any eulogy is
unnecessary His was another ovation
and the number repeated.
1t was left to M. Bouxmann to interpret
the emotional In his selection of LA Jolie
File de Perth" M. Bouxmann sang as
one entranced, and his conception of the
number was one full OF pathos and dra-
matte spirit
M. Layolle was Star No 7, and his ap-
pearance was the sign for another ova-
ton. NJ Layolle, sang THE Palms and
gave 1t majestic rendition His was also
repeated
The charming Nine. Eta de Montjau
smiled once more on a st. Paul audience
and won every heart with her singing Of
the Last Rose of Summer" Nine. de
Montjau is one of the great favorites with
st. Paul audiences, and her voice is as
sweet and soothing as the voice of the
birds.
NJ. Gauthier electrified the audience
with an aria from '.Sigurd," and was
doubly recalled, responding with repe-
tit1on of the number. The intermezzo
from "Cavalleria Rusticana" was one Of
the excellent orchestral pieces, and was
repeated. 1t was left to Mile. PGcaTy to
reach the climax, of perfection OF pro-
gramme dazzling with gems of opera and
song. Mile. Pacary sang from the Queen
of Sheba," and her rich and velvety voice
was a revelation to her listeners. Mile
Pacary combines striking appearance
with unusual vocal gifts, and her strong
stage personality makes her one of the
most interesting members of the compa-
ny. The closing number was the ever
beautiful quartette from Rigoletto, and
was sung by M. Ansaldi, M. Layolle,
Nine. de Montjau and Nine. Frasset Most
of the numbers were given with orches-
trail accompaniment, others having piano

GRAND.
"Who Is Who is an appropriate title
for the play which began a weeks en-
| gagement at the Grand opera house last
night to the largest Sunday night house
of the season. The play could also be
called (Which Is Which or what Is
What without arousing any particular
anxiety in the minds of the audience as
to the appropriateness of the title Two
or three stunts essential in farce-com-
edy, are omitted from who Is Who,''
the slap-sticks are forgotten, no one is
belted over the head with toy balloon,
and there is no folding stairway. With
these exceptions, who Is Who" Is what
its author, one Herbert Hall Winslow,
claims for tit is musical farce COM
edy. AS is the case of all genuine farce
comedies, there is just enough plot to re-
mind the audience that the performance
is not a CONTINUOUS vaudeville, and of
course the fact that the scene is laid in
New York does not prevent the partici-
pants from appearing in anything from a
colonial costume to the proverbial sky
blue tights.
Jack Hartland, a New York attorney,
being in debt and without clients, hits
upon the idea of forming partnership
with a man who is nothing but myth.
He calls his partner Memo, who is always
out of town. All creditors are referred
to Mr.. Memo, the senior partner. Hart
land is in love with Mabel, daughter of
Peter Won Baumbach of the Consolida ted
Soap trust, who opposes Hartland's suit.
Jack has a friend, Artie Barclay, who is
also in love with Mabel. Barclay is a
bigamist and is traced by one of his
wives, who demands $1,000 as "hush''
money, which sum Barclay steals from
Won Baumbach The mythical Memo is
accused of stealing the money, and, to
make matters worse, Hartland, by cir
cumstantial evidence, is accused of muir
dering his partner, the man who never
existed. In order to clear himself, Hart
land DISCUSSES himself as Memo and ap-
pears on the scene of the trouble. He is
arrested for stealing $1,000, but ything
turns out all right in the end by the aid
of a monograph which was at work in
the office and recorded Barclays self
congratulatory soliloquisms as he was
| counting the stolen long and green
There are many good features in "Who
| Is Who" Charles A. Pussy, as Jack
Hartland, is a comedian first, last and
| all the time. His face alone, which needs
but little makeup, Is a laugh producer.
AS Peter Won Baumbach, Bert st. John is
! comical while Harry N. WEIGH st. Paul
boy, as Toney Tracey, persistent bill
collector makes a lively and capable jul
yenile His dancing won the hearts of
| the gallery patrons. James Cherry i'm
personated the villain, Artie Barclay,
More can be said of him, but not to his
advantage Eva Tanguay is very clever
soubrette and completely captivated the
hearts of the audience. She is very grace
full as we'll as vivacious, and has sweet
voice These advantages. seconded by
| many physical charms. make her a very
attractive little person.
The vaudeville features of "Who Is
Who" are very acceptable. Mr.. Pussy and
Mr.. st. John produce a side-splitting
sketch, fairly glimmering with really new
repartee. The cornet duet of the Whiting
sisters. Lillian and Mae, is excellent and
ELECTED great applause. Miss Tanguay
and Mr. Welch do a cfever song and
dance. The clforuses are good. All the
week with the usual matinees.
"a Hot Old Time" will be seen the COM
ing week at the Grand.
