THE THEATRES.
PROVIDENCE OPERA HOUSE.

The "Shaiek girls" as audiences are
coming TO familiarly and cordially speak
OF them, had the centre OF the stage at
the Providence Opera House last evening
when the III. l.. williams Opera company
reproduced the grand opera Carmen
before big enthusiastic house full.
Miss Bertha Shalek sang the title role.
She must have been a delightful surprise

the way the applause warmed and even
blazed as the opera proceeded afforded
the real indication OF how abundantiy
Miss Shalek was satisfying her audience
with her work
II was really a triumphant night OF
considerable proportions for this young
star both as singer and as comed-
ienne. She captured the style OF a con-

help eating and who Is inevitably unres-

Is younger TO the stage than NJ SO Ber-

a number OF big opportunities In Car
