Production of "Lucia" Demon
strates Strength of

The alternating: opera of. the; week at
the :Tivol, :Lucias" served last evening
to Introduce to a San Francisco audience
another of: the new songbirds Of the
grand opera company of the season. Sig
norma Adelina Tromben. Zanini,' the
BARITONE, another. new singer; also ap-
peared, and Stgnor. Agostfno. well known.
to the Tivoli audience OF the preceding
season, Cortesi, Dado and Marie Welch
rounded out the cast. E.
The new: people acquitted themselves so
WELL especially from tue vocal point of
estimation, that San Francisco took them
at once to its musical heart. 1t fairly
raved, after the mad scene. over from
ben. When the curtain. was down for the
last time and some of the auditors had
started to go. the great majority applaud
ed Agostino so warmly for his song in
the graveyard that he had 20 come before
the curtain lat that late hour.
As usual, the strong numbers in the
opera were the sextet in the marriage
contract scene and the song of Lucia in
the mad scene, The chorus and orchestra
helped to build up great climax to the
sextet, which had to be. sung over again.
There" were cries Of bravo all over the
house and the curtain went up and down
half a score of times. OF course Tromben
was greatly pleased with the warmth of
IcI ISCtpIlOIl, ASOSLlnO oSIllleQ ana DdQO,
who came in later for an encore, 'beamed
decorously when the 'plaudits rang out.
Tromben has voice with good range,
possessing at least one Extraordinarily high
note: She is equipped with an excellent
vocal system, much of technique and her
voice in a certain compass is liquid If
not broad It is sweet and fine. In figure
Tromben is slight. Her face lights up
handsomely. Her singing is far better
than her acting. When the flute was
piping an obligato and her voice was fol-
lowing all the vagaries of that woodward
nightingale of the orchestra she was at
her hest: She had the audience for her
own after. that song. -
zanipi has made good impression.
Occasionally his voice quavers into the
vibrato. but seldom. 1t is strong and Of
. excellent quality.
-Agostlnf justified the favor he received
last year: If. he has changed much ia
any particular: the varia ton was not evil
dent on a first performance. He is as
good as before.
Dado sang artistically, with a voice as
mellow as anything except a French horn.
Cortesi had little to do, but that little
went: we'll. -.
+ The. performance of Lucia" served to
give assurance of the general strength
of the company now at the Tivoli. The
combination is what has been claimed for
it: 1t is rich I'm high-class vocal: ability

the Tivoli has ever possessed:

scHEB1 REPEATS TRIUMPHs.'
Conductor Delights Big Audience
With swing of Baton.

A. great and splendidly appreeiative
audience was on hand to joy in the de-
lights of Fritz Scheers magnetic direction
of the San Francisco symphony. Society
concert yesterday afternoon at the Grand
Opera-house.
1t was a repetition Of his former ar.tis-
tic .triumphs and. while Everybody ap-
plaueed every number to the echo at the
same: timn all wondered by what subtle
means this master of, directors had so
quickly acquired" such complete control
of his. mnsicians-a control. that assured
perfebt time and treatment and the true
Interpretation Of the sentiment of some
of the wonderful works of the. greatest
of great giyers Of melody and. glorious
orehestration. =.
The programme began with an over
tufe, 1.-THE Flying Dutchman' and it
was an absolutely exquisite: rendition. of
some. of the gems Of Wagner's opera.
The thunder of. applause that followed
was good recompense for the inestim-
able. excellence of the .orchestra.s work.
Mozarts symphony, e fiat major-I
adaxio aIlegretto, ii andante,- III nainuet
andG trio allegretto and " finale ALLEGRO
again served to prove the ability of the
material under the control of Maestro
.gch6sf and: how synpatheticaHy that ma
texial responds to his reading.
No finer orchestral work has. been
heard in this. city than in the interpre-
tatian of ia fantasy from the "Rhetri-
aoldti and ."Go4terdamnerung'': Cwagner)
arranged by Cyril Kistler. Scheef in this
showed his .unwaverfng command, his
magic leadership. Every movement was
given. with an accuracy and power of
treatment SUFFICIENT to hold the vast .au-
5ience speiibound. And when the finale
of the fantasy came, there came also an
outbirst of Applause which, too. was
good music to the ears of conductor and
musicians. Franz Schuberts symphony
b minor (unfinished)-I allegro moderate
and II andante con moto-served to:con-
tinue the enthusiasm. And then came
Edward ..Grieg, represented by a SYM
phouy dance (frst time), a. lovely pi-
QUAINT composition whose introduction
was truly welcomed, for the work was
magnificently and courteously ushered
upon the attention Of the music lovers.
Grieg' s theme lis pretty, tuneful. grace
fui fancy of bright colors. 1t was heart
ily received and if the audience had had
it's way there would haye:'been a repeti-
ton of the playing.

Speaker. Mr.. Gulley, read the Kings
speech to somewhat slim house. The
Liberal leader. Sir Henry Campbell
Bannerman, who was loudly cheered
said that in Venezuela the cloud had
happily passed, but it was a black
cloud, and one which many people
thought might have been avoided 1t
might have had dangerous conse-
quences, and it was the duty of the
country to inquire how it had been led
into such a difficulty.
Sir Henry commented on the fact
that Germany was not mentioned in
the Kings speech in connection with
venezuela. The Speaker was opposed
TO cooperation with Germany in a
manner like the Venezuelan. Germany
was strong, but rough. Germany also
was not favorable to the Monroe doc
trine.
Referring to South America, Sir
Henry said he heartily concurred in
the sentiments and desires expressed
by the Colonial Secretary, Mr.. Cham
berlain, for the fusion of the two white
races in South Africa, but he wanted
TO know if Mr.. Chamberlain's acts
were subject to the approval of his col
leagues? If a bargain was made, who
was to speak with authority for the
nation?
Premier Balfour in reply said Mr..
Chamberlain had consulted his col
leagues. He added:
we entirely indorse and make our
selves responsible for the general pol
icy he has declared in South Africa"
Mr.. Balfour defended the action of
the British government towards Ven
ezuela. Broadly speaking, concluded
Mr.. Balfour, the negotiations were
carried out with the greatest regard,
not only for the feelings of the Amer
lean people and government, but for
the feelings of Venezuela.

Provided the mills are not willing to

the option of receiving 40 per cent.

FIRE IN THE CAPITOL.

Slight Blaze Discovered in the Gal
Iery of the Hall of the House.
Washington, Feb. 17.-Some little ex-
element was created in the House of
Representatives just before that body
convened by the discovery to-day of a
slight blaze in the flooring of the east
reserved gallery. The flooring had be-
come ignited from a defective flue in
the Democratic cloak room and when
discovered, about fifteen feet of the
unfolding was ablaze.
The doorkeepers and attendants
rushed into the gallery and the blaze
was soon extinguished. A few wisps
of smoke, which arose from the fire,
filled the hall with the odor of burn
ing wood, but otherwise the members
suffered no inconvenience when the
House met.
