.The Fay Foster companyv at the Star

Some exceedingly clever acrobatic
bicyclists have been seen at the Star
this season, but there has been none
quite so expert as the trio Mosher,
Houghton and Mosher. who are here
this week. The reckless abandon and
the seeming ease with which they per-
form some astonishing feats awheel is
most unusual.
There is a variety Of good special
ties throughout the whole perform
ance, which is in three acts. The first
act is somewhat tame, but the other
two more than make up for what the
first lacks. There are musical num-
bers in abundance and considerable
comedy, much of which is of the better
sort. A singing speciality by Zoa Mat
thews, assisted by the boy, Eddie Burns,
is. exceptionally good and was heart
lily applauded. Walter Terry furnishes
some good comedy and unique dancing.
G. Cunningham is another funny come
dian of the acrObatic cult, whom the
audience enjoyed. A refined musical
bit by the trio, Yule, Reno and Sy-
monds, is one of the most agreeable
portions of the entertainment. The fem
mime contingent is quite satisfactory.
Henry K. Savage's English grand
opera company and orchestra under N
B. Emanuel will return to st. Paul
today and open at the Metropolitan to-
night for it's second enga cement. The
stay Of the favorite singers will be
limited to three days in which Puccinis
''Tosca" and Gounod's Faust will be
given here for the first time by this
organization. The 'Tosca" cast will
afford an opportunity to hear Joseph
Sheehan, Gertrude Rennyson and Win
fred Golf in three of their greatest
roles. The opera based on Sardou's
absorbing drama of La Tosca" was
accepted as the masterpiece of modern
Italy when first produced in Rome, and
will afford another musical treat as
much to the liking of St. Paul music
lovers as Verdis "Othello." "Tosca"
will be repeated at the Wednesday
matinee.
On Tuesday and Wednesday nights
GOunod'S Faust" will be sung. This
brilliant composition with its great
march number. its celebrated songs
that include the Jewel Song for Mar
guerite and the Flower Song for
Siebel, together with the spectacular
ensembles in which the entertaining
Mephisto, Faust and Valentine take
part, will afford another treat to music
lovers. On Thursday night the COM
pany returns to Minneapolis for the
second week in that city before 1t will
be heard again in st. Paul.
William Faversham will play an en-
gagement at the Metropolitan opera
house Thursday, Friday and Saturday
nights and Saturday matinee, pre-
senting his greatest success, Lord and
Lady Algy." The engagement Is one of
exceptional interest from the fact that
in the role of Lord Algy Mr.. Faver-
sham is reviving the part that was in
quite a measure responsible for his
being elevated to stellar honors by Mr..
Charles Frohman, and moreover from
the fact that the play itself is one of
the brightest and cleverest ever given
to the public. In his revival of this
highly successful piece Mr.. Frohman
has provided entirely new scenery and
costumes and has surrounded the star
with an exceptionally strong cast.
Charles Dalton and Miss Rosere
Knott in when KniShthood Was in
Flower" will be the attraction at the
Metropolitan opera house for four
nights and a Wednesday matinee, be-
ginning next Sunday. Seats for this
engagement can be procured at the box
office Thursday morning
