Henry W. savage's celebrated English
Grand Opera company will sing "Parsifal'
at the sacred concert in st. Paul to-mor-
row night ard open it's second annual
opera festival in this city Monday night
with Wagner's "Lohengrin." Verdis
"Othello' will be given Tuesday night
There will be only three performances Of

bill Monday and Friday evenings and at
the Wednesday matinee, with Balfe's

day and Saturday evenings.

which music lovers become familiar
during the stay Of Henry w. Savage's
English grand opera prima donnas
and tenors. A ballot taken among the
host of matinee girls that have held
their breath and gazed skywards
while the popular Joseph Sheehan
was taking his high "C's' in the
Troubadour's DE Quella Pira'' in
"Il Trovatore," would undoubtedly
be a gushing if not an acceptable
tribute to this peerless American
tenor. "Our joe" as he is Familiarity
called in Boston, is handsome as a
tenor should be, but his photos in the
new role of Othello, in which he has
scored vocal triumph this season,
give him a fierce expression OF jeal-
ousy, we'll suited to the Moor Of
Shakspere's immortal tragedy on
which the Verdi masterpiece is
founded. Even his old admirers
would have trouble to recognize the
picture as his. But since Desdemona
fell in love with Othello, Mr. Sheehan
may not despair. The feminine heart
is too deep for words and the favorite
singer will not want for admirers.
Then there is the distinguished
looking Winfred Golf, the artistic
barytone. He is robust, sturdy fell
low, strong as giant and just as
good looking as Mr.. Sheehan-but not

Marion Ivell, the deep-throated Min
neapolis contralto whose portrayal of
the cigarette girl in Carmen has
made her much talked about this sea-
son. Miss well is not only the beauty
of this company, but is considered one
of the American stage beauties. Her
face IS full of character as well as
smiles: But this talented girl does not
hesitate to mask her pretty features
as the gypsy bag, Azucena, in I'll Tro-
vatore." It is not so easy to change
expression and still retain the beauty,
but Miss Ivell readily does this also, as
shown by her numerous Carmen pho
tographs. They run the entire gamut
from comedy to tragedy.asHer face
changes with every varying mood, a
never failing mark of great dramatic
talent which the contralto possesses
along with her .velvety voice. @

soprano whose bell-like voice with it's

her a favorite in any Of her numerous

burlesque shows will be seen next week at
the Dewey.
The attraction is the Fay Foster COM
pany, composed Of thirty people, Who ap-
pear in a musical comedy in three acts.
1t bristles with novelties, and is a dis
tinct and radical departure from the old
style Of burlesque. The first act shows
the interior OF a photograph gallery. The
second act represents a scene in the
South Sea islands, while in the third act
J. Pierrepont ORGANS mansion and
| grounds are portrayed.
In each of the acts, concerted musical
! numbers and high-class specialties are
/ introduced, combined with an abundance
| of bright, clean and wholesome comedy.
This production carries a carload of spe-
cial scenery, while the electrical effects
are quite elaborate.

orgies and induces Short to- enter into
a bankrupt partnership, thus endanger-
ing, his fortune but friendly warning
from disguised detective enables Short
to recuperate and turn the tables on his
false friend, and in the last act all ends
happily.
The comedy is strong, pure and nat
ural, save perhaps the little theatrical
denouement that turns Howell from a
missionary to a Pinkerton in order to
punish Strange. In the villain the audi
ence is relieved from the customary Wall
street schemer, who darts black glances
promiscuously around the stage and
thirsts for revenge generally.
