FRIDAY EVENING.

"Florodora" as presented at the opera
house Friday night to a good sized audi
ence will naturally be compared by those
who saw both performances with the
"Florodora' of last April and, to say tn
least, the first performance will not suffer
in any respect by comparison with the
second, From a musical standpoint TIE
soloists. as n whole. did not rank with
those in the earlier production. and there
were not the handsome women who were
a feature Of the first company and who
have had so much to do with making
'Florodora' one of the most successful
musical comedies in recent years.
In saying this 1t Is not intended to
imply that the entertainment was not a
pleasing one. The double ssxtette TELL
Me Pretty Maiden" rendered as II was
last evening, would alone make the per-
Torrance success, while other well
sung numbers were the pretty ''Under the
Shade Of tho Palms" by Mr.. wallerstedt
and The Queen Of the Philippine Islands"
by Miss Field, These two carried on the
vocal honors Of the evening. while no
mistake was made In entrusting the char
acter Of Anthony Tweedlcpunch TO Mr.
Charles Dcland Much of his work was
very amusing, The chorus sang well and
The beautiful costumes md appropriate
stage settings aided In making the per-
formance one that was much enjoyed.
