CAST OF LA RoHpNr.

The large audience that gathered last night at
the Italian Grand Opera Compsnys production. in
the Academy OF Music Of Puceini's La Bohener
witnessed performance that considering the price
Of admission. was In many respects most com
mendable. In place of the vociferous orchestra and
strident singing that often characterize the
offerings of popular priced Italian opera COM
panies, last nights performance was admirably
restrained. and sung upon the whole with consid-
cradle nuanee Of phrase. This result was dine
largely to the efforts OF the conductor Asids
Jacchia, who read the score with understanding
ana, except in few instances. kept his musicians

The Mimi was Ester Ferrabini a Young italian
singer Of beauty and considerable charm Of per-
sonality. In figure she made a most attractive
picture OF the Partisan gTisette and she acted the
part with winsomeness. While her voice is by no
means extraordinary, it has freshness anI IS emit
ted clearly and easily. The Rodolfo was Giuseppe
ArFnanini and. though at times he gave rather too
free play to his voice. he sang usually with com
rhendable restraint.
Ernesto Carouna as Msrcello and Giovanni era

though there little about them TO suggest the
whimsical bohen!ians OF Murgers stories they were
amusing in an italian fashion Mr.. Vieri-Secci was
scarcely equal either vocally OF dramatically 10
the part OF Schavnard.
Amelia Sedelmayer was IN energetic and amusing
Musetta, though her voice sounded hoarse and
lacked hexibility. Rafaele Barocchi was annusina;
in the two roles of Benoit and Alcindoro.
The stage management was commensurate espe-
cay In the life injected into the scene before the
Cafe Momus. even though the grsettes and their
companions did suggest 18th street rather than the
