While an entire company Of hons

in way. there is at the same time
something about the bringing here Of
several members of the cast for the

to the public.
Miss Marie Kaufman will undoubt
eddy make 4 most charming Priscilla, >
both in the matter of her voice and
dramatic action and dialogue. As
"Resignation,' the fussy old maid
Miss Juliet Swayne could not be excell
ed for her clever conception and por
trayal OF this screamingly funny part
Miss Josephine Gates as Faith Is
most charming and her work in con-
nection with that OF Miss Bertha Gar

Mcclellan IS Prudence, will add ma
terially to the success OF the opera

ing young tenors, has already been en-.
gagged by a New York manager for the

made for his operate career. In the
part OF John Alden" Mr.. Law has
splendid opportunity, both as regards
his singing. his acting and dialogue

pupil OF Mr.. Taylor. His home is In
Terre Haute. AS the doughty cap

make the part difficult of portrayal
although Mr. Grimes is an artist OF
such calibre as to make him a most
interesting and successful Miles Stan

most successful and enjoyable affair
