New National.

That the rendition of Flotow's beautiful
opera Martha by the Aborn Opera
Company was creditable as a whole not
even the most enthusiastic admirer of
the company would care to assume: that
some parts of it were acceptable and one
part exceptionally good may. be freely
admitted by those who witnessed the first
performance last night.
There was an evident lack of proper
preparation and a persistent continuance
on the part of the orchestra to get as far
away from the company the circum-
stances would permit. This. however, it
is believed. may disappear perhaps in the
next performance: but until it does there
will always be regret that the Aborn
company, which has been so accepta BILE
thus far this season. eSSayed to present
offering which is hallowed in the pub
lie heart without more thorough prepare
lion.
Mr.. Harry Davies, as Lionel. was in
every way acceptable. His beautiful voice
was in excellent condition. and he made
good use of it whenever the opportunity
offered. The rendition of his role and
the Last Rose of Summer" by Miss
Alice Kraft Bentson, were the features
of the evening. Miss Bentson is manifest
~ capable of better work in her role and
will doubtless show it before. the week is
past; but last evening. except in the one
song in which she rose to her opportun-
ty, she seemed to be somewhat lacking in
interest. Miss Shalek, as Nancy, and Mr.
LuckStone as Plunkett, We're accepta bic.
The male chorus was good. The female
choruses would have been better with
proper orchestral support.

Belasco.

An appreciative audience gave frequent
demonstrations of approval of the work
OF the stock company last night in the
rendition of the old-time favorite
Caste. 1t was something of a tribute to
the company to have good attendance
upon such sweltering night as last
night. but apparently none who came was
sorry therefor. The play has been shown
here frequently with some notable people
IN the cast. but the efforts of the stock
company certainly compare favorably
with some of the best of the predecessors
The plot is interesting and will be re-
called by many theater goers. the young
English officer who marries below his sta

misdeeds of the drunken old father of his
wife: the hoydenish Sster-in-law who
loves the jolly plumber. the aristocratic
Enslishman who finds something to inter-
est him in these characters. Then the
touch of pathoS and threatened tragedy in
the reported death of the officer in the
field, with of course the happy ending of
all troubles by his return alive. the whole
