OPERA LIGHT
AND CLEVER
A Fine Audience Saw
"Ship Alloy Last
Light.

| With mum Der OF catchy song ana
| choruses, pretty groupings of bright
costumes and a plot working out into
absurdly amusing complications, the
| comic opera Ship Alloy could hardly
| fail of success. Certainly it did not
| last night, the large audience showing
| their appreciation as the opera pro
crossed by their hearty applause. In
one or two of the choruses lack of
practice was apparent and some OF the
soloists were affected with stage fright
in their opening numbers, although
they more than made up for it in the
following ones.
Miss Edythe Beswick, Mrs F. J.
Hare, Miss Emma F. Mowbray and
Mrs. Samuel Noar carried through
their leads splendidly, the former being
a particularly clever actress.
Much of the success of the opera was
due to the spirit which j. Hastings
Rowland threw into his songs and act
ing, VIM. L. WEIGH pressing him close
Iy for first place in this regard.
The cast was as follows:
