BY FLORENCE BOsARD LAWRENCE

r IGHT opera was presented at the
IL Auditorium last night by the
IA Edgar Temple opera company,
the premier for the season proving a
most auspicious occasion. "A brilliant
audience was gathered to mark the
opening performance of this company,
and the artists may well be pleased
with the warm testimonials of approval
which were showered upon them, for
the entire house was filled with men
and women of discrimination and cul-
ture.
Practically all of the soloists are
new to a Los Angeles audience and
the reception rendered them last night
was extremely cordial, the choruses
and pany ballet also receiving com
mandatory applause and the utmost
good feeling was apparent throughout
the house. There was no excuse foI
anything else, however, as the per-
fc1mance moved along with the utmost
smoothness. The uneven spots which
might be expected in an opening per-
fcrmance had been pretty well elm
mated in the two out of town per-
formances which were given last week,
South American Politics
The opera deals with that boon of all
comic opera writer's, the South Amer
lean revolution, touches lightly the
union labor question and closes with a
satire upon the grating disposition of
the powers that be mo matter who
wins, l lose"
Much of the dialogue is really funny
and does not depend upon the slap
stick comedy method to win Its laughs,
and the plot lasts through the entire
three acts of the piece. That is al
most a marvel for comic opera. To be
sure it is drawn out rather thin in
some places, but it still holds and is
always tangible enough so that tho
audience can grasp it.
The first and last acts are laid in
San Francisco and Coronado, respec-
lively, and the second act In the myth
ical republic of Concarne.
Musically the opera serves as an ad-
mirable vehicle for most of the solo,
lists, the soprano and tenor roles es-
pecially giving brilliant opportunities
to the singers.
