day night, Never did 1t sing so well as
1t did Wednesday evening. Principals
and chorus We're at their best. The oD-
era, one of the finest light operas ever
written, gave ample opportunity for prin-
cipaIs, as also the chorus. The music
was delightful, the misses who were in
,he chorus were pretty. the sopranos,
lno alto. the Contralto unusually hand
some; the tenors We're fine, also tho
bass and the baritone, And how they
can sing! In solo, in duet. in trio. In
quartette. in chorus, the work was splen-
dld The orchestra was a fine one and
all under the direction of Prof, Lund
made up the best state musical organiza-
OF The chorus was exceptional. 1t is an
organization of which not only Provo and
the b, y. I. should be proud Of, but all

he knows how TO act. and this can be
said Of G. Il. Johnson. who likewise has
a fine tenor voice, 1t is seldom that one
finds two tenors In the same company
with such splendid voices. The others
in the cast all carried out their parts In
an admirable manner: The chorus was

In Zion for many day. This chorus
numbered eighty.
The orchestra was in reality sympbo-
ny organization. There were twenty-five
pieces and It's work was exceptional. To
praise the orchestra, to praise the op-
era is To praise Prof Lund, under whose
all was produced. IT is 10 he
