THE DETROIT.

Petite and bewitching Fritsi Scheff

to the Detroit opera house Monday
| night after an absence OF two seasons.
and was given a most hearty welcome
by an audience that completely filed
the big playhouse. AS Is known. the
book and lyrics are by Henry Bios
som and the music by that wellknown
artist. Victor Herbert. Nothing medic
ere comes from the hands Of these two
men and this, to some extent, accounts
for the number of seasons Mile. Mo-
diste" has run.
In a measure, but not altogether is
this the reason, for Nine. Scheff, who
undoubtedly has no peer as a comic
opera singer, has popularized the
opera and made II stand out as a
beautiful gem. She has charm, grace.
voice or velvety sweetness and a
figure that might we'll turn the fem
mine portion OF her audiences green
with envy. Then, too, Nine. Scheh
wears her stunning gowns and hats
In such a manner that II is pleasure
to look at her.
One Of the most delightful features
OF the performance was her thrilling
drum-song and march entitled The
Mascot OF the Troops" For this
speciality she has real snare drum,
which she plays splendidly.
William Pruette, who began his ca.
reer in grand opera, but abandoned
II for light opera work many seasons
ago, retains the part OF the Comte de
| st. Mar. One of the pleasurable bits
OF the evening was his singing. In his
big, round voice, II Want What !
Want When I Want II" So far as
acting and humor are concerned, the
credit really belongs to Claude Gilling-
water, impersonating Hiram Bent. an
American millionaire. AS comedian
he is seldom equaled on the stage. and
his naturalness impressed one with
the idea that acting must be the
easiest thing In the world.
Leo Mars retains the character OF
CASTOR, the artist, whose only care IL
to extract q few sous from the pocket
OF his tight-hsted and scheming mother,
Nine. Cecile. the proprietress Of the
Partisan hat shop, and Miss Bertha
Holly as Mrs. Hiram Bent depicted
the faults and frailties Of . certain
class OF American women who imagine
they are astonishing the Europeans

money. Her rendition of The Ladies'
Culture Club Of Keokuk. Ia-." was un-
