Mascagni's Opera Company.

Next Tuesday afternoon at the National
Theater will be heard for the only time the
Mascagni Italian Grand Opera Company.
The great Italian composer will personally
direct the two works to be given, which are
'Zanetto' and 'Cavalleria Rusticana." 1t
is only a matter of justice to state that the
Mascagni company, as well as the great
composer himself. have made a great i'm
preston upon the audiences in New York.
as well as in Philadelphia-these two cities
being the only ones up to the present which
have been visited. New York has so
enthused over the performances during the
past week that three extra performances
will be given next week at the Metropolitan
Opera House before the company departs
for the western tour. The critics and the
public are unanimous in declaring that
never has America heard the opera, 'Caval-
leria Rusticana." until performed under the
personal direction of the composer In the
Mascagni organization there is no such
thing as star or it would be better TO
say they are all stars. Mascagni personally
selected all the principal singers from the
best Italian opera houses abroad with
view to securing a perfect ensemble To
him the orchestra and chorus are of as
great Importance as the leading soprano.
Mascagni has fully demonstrated that he is
no musical chariatan. but man influenced
entirely by the highest motives of art Daily
rehearsals have been the rule ever since
the company arrived from Europe. and
every member of the vast organization is
under the spell of the composer from the
moment he makes his appearance in the or
chestra pit to the time of the final fall of
the curtain.
AS for the management of the company, it
must be said to it's credit that it has
not exaggerated the facts. The Mascagni
company, for instance. is advertised as
numbering 100. which ordinarily would be
taken as meaning eighty AS a matter of
fact the company pays for 1So railroad
fares. The orchestra, by actual count num-
bers seventy-two pieces. although in many
theaters 1t has been found impossible to
place more than sixty in the pit. The
chorus is very large one and sings bauti-
fully. There is also a fine ballet. The
operas will be sung here with the following
casts:
"Zanetto,'' in one act-Silvia, Madam
Bianchini- Cappeli: Zanetto, Madam Eugenia
Mantelli.
"Cavelleria Rusticana"-Santuzza Madam
Amelia Pinto; Lola. Madam Eugenia Man
tell: Turriddu, Signor Carlo Cafferto: Alto.

Lafayette Square Theater.

Washington playgoers will no doubt well
come the attraction at the Lafayette
Square Opera House, THE Great Ruby"
The play was presented here by the Bel
lows stock company at this house only
after paying royalty to the Daily estate
such as but few plays in this era have
commanded, but now it comes, presented
by travelling organization of thirty artists
and as many supernumeraries and with the
entire production as used both at the Drury
Lane Theater. London, and Days Theater,
New York. When brilliantly conceived and
skilfully executed the melodrama is one
of the most popular forms of amusement.
Robbed of the clap trap and exaggeration
of the average popular priced show a
melodrama calls for and retains the at
tention of the most intelligent playgoers,
such a contingent as Washington holds.
THE Great Ruby is a melodrama. but
of a high order. For two years it
drew crowded houses to London's Drury
Lane Theater and for two hundred nights
at Days Theater, New York, it called
forth the most enthusiastic applause of
what was probably the most conservative
clientele of any playhouse in America. The

success attained in London would have
