chase's-"The Fortune Teller"

Old In title, but new in substance;
pleasing opera, well presented That
Lest describes The Fortune Teller" by
Victor Herbert. as ii Is enacted this
week at Chase's Theater. Last nights
performance was greeted by a large
audience. whose stamp of approval was
given by prolonged applause
After a season OF frills and flounces.
Illustrating the triumph of dressmaking
and the height of millinery art. it
causes a sense OF satisfaction to see
enc of the less noisy operas Of the
same type. Astounding in desirable eIe-
nents. This is a happy mixture OF ex-
cellent comedy and a touch OF the ro-
nantie. These elements have been SO
lrterwoven as to form the thread OF a
5tory-which, incidentally. is lost be-
heath an overflow of real comedy.
But, as THE Fortune Teller" has al
ready proven a success and received the
approval Of the theatergoing public.
lis present merit depends solely upon
e.e cast. The material is there To
aeach happy Issue the power to mold
y must be there too, and both factors
aro embodied in the local production.
In the dual role OF Irma and Musette,
Edna Bronson having studied under the
tutelage Of Alice Nielsen. displayed her
ability as coincidence and ginger.
Strangely enough. Miss Bronson re-
sembles her predecessor TO some extent.
She portrayed the character without
stage affectation, adding to the part vi
gaciousness and vim which We're really
pleasing
E. S. Metealf. as Sander, the gypsy,
Iang well in baritone-basso voice. The
comedy devolves principally on Robert
Lett as Freser, the ballet master, and
he kept the mirth running at a brisk
pace. In this he was assisted by w. T.
Rochester, as Count BereZowski, and
herman Hirsberg. as the German gypsy.
Their work was Enthusiastically clever
Ind called forth the approval Of the

Lafayette-"Rip Van Wrinkle"

rip Van Winkle' deservedly drew a
large audience to the Lafayette Opera
House last night 1t was not much of a
play for a hot night and there was prob
ably not a person in the audience who
had not watched Jefferson in the char
acter of Rip, but the performance was
we'll worth seeing and the actors were
heartily applauded.
John T. Sullivan had prepared for the
title role in less than half a week, but
his work was so done that no one would
have suspected he had such little prep
aration. His impersonation of the ire
pressibly cheerful drunkard In the
earlier acts was excellent Good humor
scattered itself wherever he went and,
although he was a sot Gretchen could
not be blamed for loving him
When il came to heavier work Mr..
Sullivan was equally as good. His fare
we'll to Gretchen and the children when
thrown out into the storm by the exas-
perated wife was splendidly done and
showed that Mr.. Sullivan is fully capa-
bic of filling his new position as lead
ing man in the company. His quaint
humor in the scenes after the awaken
ing of Rip was delightful and was prob
ably the most enjoyable feature of his
work
Selene Johnson, as Gretchen, was not
very impressive. In some scenes she
was good, but in others did not put
enough earnestness into her acting.
Baby Gee and Edna Hall Smith receiv-
ed much applause for their work as
Meenie and Hendrix Vedder.
