Berlindi has had no greater night at

that of Washington's birthday, with
her performance Of Mignon as the at
traction. Ii there have been greater
Mignons than Berlindi in San Fran
cisco, ordinary memory does not run
to the time. Dramatically and vocally
she was very nearly the ideal heroine
of the gypsy camp. To see her in
Zaza and then in Mignon was a new
revelation of her wide versatility Ba-
zelli. too. the Wilhelm Of the cast.
well deserved the audience. He acted
with discretion, and his singing was
such as to win the applause of the lady
with the Beethoven like face who plays
the harp in the orchestra. Francisco
did not score success. This will be
a source Of genuine regret among those
who have enjoyed her work in concert.
Cirotto, Berlindi and Bazelli fairly
electrified the audience in the closing
scene with their trio. Miss Barker won
much applause with one song. An
odd feature of the performance was
that the orchestra had to repeat two
orchestral numbers, so strong was the
demand. There has been no better
performance artistically since the
