The Marguerite was to New York and Nine

powers. In appearance she was both innocent and
winsome, and gave performance in strong con-
trast her Carmen and her TOsca VocaIt
she showed skill in sliding the more forid
passages especially In the Jewel Song" passages
that naturally unsuited to her voice. Other
wise, she sang the music with good effect.
Mr.. Laskin showed in Mephistophees excel
lent stage presence and he acted the part with
certain unexaggerated humor, but vocauy he was
not as successful. Mr.. Duffault the title part
with clear phrasing and as a rule, good tone. but
in his upper notes he used the falsetto prevalent
among French tenOrs. Mr. Beck was a most tragic
Valentine
The orchestra was in charge but scarcely under
the control, of Mr.. Ncosia. The chorus sang well
and the stage settings were effective.
