The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1902-09-15

opera-the innkeeper's daughter:
vivaciously clever and good to look at.
In 1.-The Tale of a Bundle Bee" she
fairly divided the honors with Mr.
Hitchcock-and the gallery paid the
couple the tribute of entering with
spirit into the rendition of the whist
ling chorus.
Another clever bit in which Miss
Zabelle shared the plaudits was the
duet TIL Shut My Eyes," sang by her
and Mr.. DEACON. The latters singing
of Pedro" earned, fairly, the applause
that was bestowed for his excellent
rendition of when You Are Mine"
Margaret Mckinney is a remarkably
pretty and winsome angela"
The chorus is large and beautifully
costumed and the opera is put on with
magnificent stake effects. The finish
ed work of the ballet and the hand
some stage pictures are quite up to
that standard that Mr.. Savage has set
in the production of all his offerings.

"The Wizard of or is underlined for

up York State" a rural play far
superior to 'The Old Homestead" and
even more true to life than Shore
Acres" was seen yesterday in the
Grand opera house for the first time
in st. Paul. The play is the work Of
David Higgins and Georgia Waldron,
;,,f I,a
It's scene is in the Adirondacks and
it's characters mainly those shown in
other country village plays, the village
lover-this time an inventor named
for Darius Green, the flying machine
inventor of Trowbridge's poem-the
girl he loves, who is led to suppose he
loves another and therefore consents
to marry the village rich man in order
to get money to save Darius from a
mortgage he gave the rich man in or
der to pay for having her little brother
treated for blindness. Knowing the
land contains marble, the rich man re-
fuses, and in a fiery scene Immediately
after the wedding-the best scene in
the play-she repudiateS him and re-
fuses to live with him. In the end
everything is made right, and it is done
in natural and comparatively unforc-
ed way. There is, of course, more of
sensation and more broad comedy in
the brief time covered than one would
see in real lifetime in such village,
but that is, Of course, on the stage, and
the play, as a whole, is superior to
most of it's class.
Both the leading parts are well TAX
en-. Miss Waldron especially plays the
unselfsh heroine, misunderstanding
the man she really loves, sympathet-
ically and with good deal Of power
manifested in quiet and natural ways.
She doesn't rant and boil overland
that is much. She has a true appre-
citation of her art. Mr.. Higgins is a
capital portrayer of rural humor.
up York State will run the entire
week, with the regular Wednesday and
Saturday matinees.
f. G. Robson, representing the Coro-
nation choir, of London, England, is at
the Ryan. The choir is now en- tour in
Canada and will start their American
tour in this city, coming here from
Winnipeg.
A we'll dressed show, strong in vo-
cal numbers, specialities and comedy,
is Frank B. Cars "Thoroughbreds'
which began the week at the Star
yesterday afternoon. A genuine sur
prise was the spirited manner in which
the opening NUMBER, the SOldlerS
chorus from "Faust" was sung by the
chorus and which was enthusiastically
encored. The first part, "a Wooden
Wedding" is crowded with excellent
vocal selection among which are Mr..
Dooley" and Princess Zulu"
In the olio Miss Frances Harrison, a
songstress, is first on the list and Is
followed by Crawford and Manning,
comedians, who received an ovation.
They were popular last season and are
still deservedly so. Washburn and
Flynn and Healy and Farnum in songs
and clever dancing contribute variety
to the entertainment. The features OF
the olio are The Empire City Quartet
and Polk and Tresk, acrobats. In the
former Harry Cooper made decided
hit with his clever parodies on popular
songs. He and his associates possess
trained voices. Polk and Tresk
have added couple of new feats to
their list which makes their turn the
equal of anything Of its kind.
The conclusion of the performance
called 1.-THE Thoroughbreds' also con-
tains several fine musical numbers in
