Leandro Campanari is in the city and
will remain until the opening of the
opera season In New York in December.
He is brother of the famous baritone,
signor Guiseppi Campanari
Dolly Warden" given by the San Fran
cisco Opera company at the Los An
geles theater, is well staged. beautifully
costumed-supported by a good chorus of
pretty girls.
Miss Aidi Hemmi In the character of
Letitia Is the prima donna. Her voice
is light mezzo soprano, clear and pleas
Ing, in the middle register. Her high
tones, however, are too open and she
uses them with apparent effort In her
best solo in the second act she was re-
called twice and deserved all the ap-
plause the audience gave her-but. oh!
why did she stoop to sing us coon
song for an encore? understand Port
land and Tacoma went wild over these
selections, but Los Angeles cannot ac-
cept them.
Miss Daphne Pollard was the dainty
Dolly Warden. charming in every way,
and graceful as fawn.
Arthur Cunningham, as Captain Bel
Vile, was certainly the favorite with
the audience. His voice Is superb in
quality his e.-unciation good and his
intonation perfect. but he is rather crude
in some of his work-a lack of shading
marring his tone color.
Eugene Wiener, the tenor, was suffering
from a severe cold, but managed his
voice well, considering. We will anxi-
ously await the production of 'The Sing
ing Girl" this coming week.
