The DE Wolf Hopper Opera Com
pany,, presented Sousa and Klein's comic
opera, The Charlatan,' at the Academy
last night before the usual Hopper audi
ence-a large, brilliant and appreciatiye
one.
The production was staged sumptuously
and the ensemble and mis- en- scene pre-
scented beautiful pictures. The opera has
been received in many places with great
favor, and much praise has been &C
corded the performers.
1t is quite just to say, however, that
the opera in other hands would not have
reached the pinnacle of success to which
il has arisen, but for the personality of
Mr. Hopper and the splendid company
that he has gathered about him. The in
Gividual members OF the cast are above
the average, and each one does all that
can be done to make of 1.-The Charla-.

Without this unanimity and accord it
is doubtful whether the opera, could have
been successful. But it is a. success, and
Mr. Hopper deserves a great amount of
admiration and credit The chorus is.
large. and there are a number of pretty
girls in it who make themselves useful
in several ways-forming, as they do,
beautiful frame around a picture that is
not the best of "a great artist.
The music at tines Is catchy. and at
all times it is reminiscent of other works
by Sousa. There are a number of Hop
per interpretations, that aid materially in
making 1t a go, and the production. with
its snatches of classic music. it's abund-
ance Of catchy notes. its bubbling hunlor,
made so by Hopper, and its splendid
chorus, is really worth seeing.
MIR. Hopper, as has been said in The
Times before, is the leading comic opera
comedian on the American stage. He is
an original hu;norist, and he can sing.
These Two as a combination can make
of almost any production a success, aid
