 The Alice Nielsen Opera company, with the new light opera success, The Singing Girl" will be heard at the lily perion theater tomorrow evening When Miss Nielsen was here last year presenting Victor Herbert's and Harry B. Smiths three act comic opera, "The Fortune Teller" the vocal strength of her organization excited praiseworthy comment. It is claimed for the com pany, which will be heard here in "The Singing Girl" the new opera by Her bert, Smith and Stange, that in vocal excellence it even surpasses the very strong singing organization which we heard a year ago. It is doubtful if IilclS dIS III ililtIiCd lU-uHy four such light opera singers as Alice Nielsen, the soprano; Lucille Saunders the contralto; George Tennery, the ten or, and Eugene Cowles the great pre- mier basso. It may be said without fear of contradiction that these four people | are the very best in their respective | lines in this country, and are all mem bers of the Alice Nielsen Opera company Seats are rapidly selling at the box of- | flee.
