Singing of Ever Popular Airs Car
ries Audience at Columbia.

For the second bill of its local season
OF grand opera in English the Savage
company last night presented Car

work is one Of the most popular compo-
sitions known to the grand opera stage
and never fails to bring out a fashions
able and music-loving audience. Tn.
theater was filed, and each OF the ia
miliar scenes and solos was applaudec
most cordially.
Washington has so few opportunities
TO hear grand opera that, possibly,
many flaws in an occasional production,
are overlooked Again. one cannot but
appreciate an evident desire upon the
part of the management to give fts
patrons every benefit OF good stage
training; and in this regard the present
company is to be commended.
One of the most distinctive features OF
the production OF Carmen" was the
chorus. Under the able leadership of
Elliott Schenck the chorus and aug
mented orchestra gave an exhibition of
precision. directness, and sympathy
rarely equaled. This is particularly re-
markable in the Interpretation of Bizet's
difficult and elusive score.
Cast of Good Singers.
The cast was exceptionally even. Mise

incubation. She acted the role as one

her character almost too broad to suit
sensitive tastes. The range OF her voice
is wonderful. and the whims Of the

the lines and spaces in and out of rea-
son apparently had no terror for this
prima donna. In quality Miss IveIFs

= The act OF March 8. 1877. which is the
only statute with regard TO the exemp-

doubt as to whether this or any other
hospital in the District of Columbia
comes within the scope Of the exemp-

The portion of the act upon which the
Assessor depends for his authority is
