ROMANTIC COMIC
OPERA AGAIN.

At least one manager has the cour-
age of his convictions. AS the man
ager of the Bostonians, and later of
the Alice Nelson Opera Company,
Frank L. Perley, he presented many
worthy works and enjoyed success.
Then came the flood of musical come
dies which have inundated the stage.
Mr.. Perley has bided his time and now
thinks. as do many others, that the
opportune moment has arrived when
the public will again delight in comic
operas of the better sort. He brought
out. one after another. The Serenade,'
THE Singing Girl and THE For

prevail with "A Venetian Romance, a
new romantic comedy opera. He has
engaged a company and promises a
production equal to anything he has
presented. Not being able to secure
as good work from the older writers,
he has accepted a composition from
the pens of new and fresher hands. 1t
will be a relief to see and listen to a
work free from inanities and the be-
jwelled "show girls"-a game which
has been over played. Mr.. Perley has
proven his good taste and admirable

Some of the quaint customs of Eliza

the employment of a choir of singers

Thursday night. When the musical
comedy was billed in Richmond, Ind,
some of the local wags thought they
saw a chance to break up the per-
Torrance. Near Richmond there lives
a man who is known as Laughing
Harmon" whose chuckles are as dis
cOrdant as the sounds coming out of
a boiler shop. The Richmond wits got
Harmon into town and put him In
the front row to see what effect he
would have on Weinberg. Mr.. Vein
berg was not long in picking out the
visitor not because of his gaiety but
because of his preternatural gloom.
Laughing Harmon" sat there like
tombstone and never once smiled.
Weinberg fairly outdid himself, played
to Harmon direct, and had the rest
of the house at his mercy. The result
was the same. After the performance
there was a caucus of disappointed
promoters. Nobody could advance
reason for the dire failure of the
evening until a neighbor of Harmon's

company babe a temporary farewell
to st. Louis in cheerful frame of

When the Cincinnati transfer wagons
reached the Walnut Street Theater
the carpenter of the "Chaperons" dis
covered a strange assortment of stage
effects. Large pieces of scenery be-
longing to the "Chaperons" was be-
ing packed against scenery of a to-
tally different coloring. 1t then be-
came evident that one of the baggage
cars brought on from st. Louis be-
longed to another company which had
