The first genuine singing rehearsal of
the Pirates of Penzance was held on
Friday evening and the way the sing
ers took hold of the tuneful opera
presages a big musical success. The
mems chorus in particular seem unusu-
ally strong and tuneful, an effect prob
ably due to the fact that several of
the gentlemen have elsewhere partici-
pated in the opera and took the lead
with an animation that brought out
choral work sounding like a sixth, rath-
er than a first rehearsal. The ladies
are to be augmented in a day or two by
singers VINO are out of town at pres
ent, but glance at the names reveals
splendid material.
The full east runs at present as fol-
lows. with additions yet TO come to the
chorus: Mabel, Mrs. Hibberdine; Ruth,
Miss Gertrude Hall; Edith, Miss Mulch;

I,.
sung the Major General before and the |
glimpse we got of him in Carmen |
showed his musical and dramatic abil- |
ity to have been given him in no mean |
measure. Mrs. Hibberdine will make |
a success as Mabel, having a pure So
prano with a sympathetic quality that |
blends excellently with Mr.. Dougherty's |
sweet tenor. Miss Hall should be per-
feet as Ruth with her full contralto and |
Sonny" as the Sergeant will undoubt-
eddy make mirth FOR the house at large. |
The balance of the cast is more than |
we'll chosen and the chorus itself in
cIudes many soloists who are willing to |
lend their voices TO the aid of the Wal
1iki chapel.
Mrs. Atwood is pianist and directress
Of the opera which is under the general
mana cement and direction of Allan
Dunn. The excellent executive COM
nittee and the long list of patronesses
are taking up the matter in way that
orecludes failure and should bring
many welcome shekels to the organ
und of st. Augustine's.
