carolled the chorus at the Casino
last night in said Pasha,'' by the
Boston Ideal Opera company. Every
day is sunny for hose who have been
attending the pretty operas by the
splendid company. which last night
put a lyric sweetness, a joyous lit and
a merry sparkle into the performance
which took the house by storm. In
spite OF a damp evening and a small.

showed a spirit which the people Of
Albuquerque should appreciate.
There is a care-free wholesomeness
about said Pasha' which leaves a
pleasant goodbye" after you have
left the house. The melodies are beau
tiful. with a rhythm n a swing
which keeps you humming for hours
afterward, and there is a spontaneous
humor and happiness about the play
that makes you forget your worries
for days. The singing last night was
the best that the company has done
since it began the engagement-sing-

and singing which was at times mag
nificent. The powerful clear tenor OF
Mr.. Walkers, and Miss Moore's per-
feet voice were never in better tone.
and Miss Crowley's song. He Was a
Prince" made a tremendous hit. Miss
Crowley. as Queen Aiti,' attired in

applause began as soon as she came
on the stage and she responded to
encores again and again.
The quintet in Every Day is SUN
NY took the honors of the evening,
however, and six separate and success
sive times they were compelled to re-
turn and sing.
Mr.. Burgess grave drollery brought
down the house each time as he rem
dered the solo in this song, and his
fun was more contagious and irresist-
ible than It has ever been all the way
through.
Miss Moore. always a favOrite, was
p%lquant and petite and charming, and
her voice outshines them all. Frank
Dale as said Pasha,' Walters as
"Terrano," w. II. Burgess as "Hassan

Cyl W. II, burgess hH iNdidht hlA-
tie Gebler as "Balah," made up the
rest Of the cast, Miss Moore taking
the part Of serena and A. G. Bur
CESS "Hodad." All were clever and
made the same effort to please as II
they had been playing to a packed
house.
Albuquerque owes a debt of pleas
ure to the Boston Ideal Opera COM
pany and owes an apology for the
small house last night, which was
however, caused in large part by the
exodus to santa Re, and the very un-
favorable weather. Albuquerque has
a chance to make good, however.
Tonight said Pasha" will be play
ed again, and as a finale. a goodbye
and "A farewell Tuesday night the
company will play "P%inafore.' II has
been one of the disappointments OF

genuine pleasure. In "Pinatore Miss
