ERA DiayOIO" by the AbOrn Com

IA DaG 0uAO ny A0n-
pany-New National.
A surprise was IN store for the large
audience that braved the high tempera-
ture and went to the National Theater
last night, for. in addition to a very So
perior performance OF Auber's popular
romantic opera, Fra Diavolo," the
Aborn company interpolated as a second
act finale the inspiring sextet from
Lucia di Lammermoor," and sang il so
well that they were applauded to the
echo. As a test OF ensemble singing and
concerted vocalization. there are few more
difficult numbers. and the singing of it
last night stamps the Aborn company
with rare ability.
Fra Diavolo" is an opera melodious
but replete with rather an extraordinary
amount of numbers hard to sing, and re-
quires, to be convincing, a cast Of moro
than usual cleverness. Harry Luckstone
has the title role TO which he does fun
justice. vocally as well as dramatically.
Harold Blake, on the other hand. acts as
well as he sings, and in Lorenzo finds an
other of these spectacular military roles
of which he makes such fine pictures.
Edith Bradford. as Lady AIlcash, while
not conspicuously cast, is charming. and
added her fine cOntraItO to the sextet
Miss Wentworth was as stormily vel
coined back to the cast as any prodigal
might wish. and showed her qualification
by an excellent impersOnation of Zerlina
Her disrobing scene, though daring. was
free from any suggestveness and decidedly
dainty and artistic. Her magnificent
work in the Lucia" sextet simply clinches
the argument advanced when she sang
-Santuzza" several weeks back, that she
is of grand opera caiber. and faces. an
parently. a career Of great promise.
Robert Let's acting as Repro was a
revelation, and, with Huntington Nav az
