operate comedy which he is to present
here Thursday night has been particu-
larly pleasant reading to his friends ana
admirers. There is an impression that
De Angels began his comic opera career
with the old McCaull Company, but he
dates away back beyond that. He was
the principal comedian of an opera COM
pany that made a tour of the world be-
fore he ever met Col McCaull. His ad-
ventures through Asia, Africa and India
would make an interesting book, and
