Mikado,' which viii be given at the
Park A. A. grounds, Lincoln and Belle
vile venues Oh the nights of July
q and % by the Newark Opera Club
for h benefit OF the fund. are prac-
tically complete. and a sterling per-
formance by the talented young people
composing the club Is assured.
Several OF the most prominent anna
Q thespians in the city are mem
bers of the cast. Warren Biggin. who
VIII essay the role of the Mikado,s
son, Nanki-Pooh. is well known to mu-
sic lovers of Newark for his church
work and also dramatic ability, as
shown by his remarkable performance
as O.. U. Stringer In I'm Khorassan,"
produced In the spring by this club
for the benefit of the Home for Grip
pied Children.
Ko-Ko. the Lord High Executioner,
will be taken by George Paxton. for
many ear one of the foremost inter-
prefers Of comic opera roles in New
York. With many of the best COM
panies playing for many years, Mr..
Paxton has recently given his time to
the producing of plays and operas in
New York and vicinity, and many OF
the ~stagings OF widely-known plays
have been under Mr.. Paxton's direc-
ton. Mr.. Paxton has consented to un-
dertake the part of Ko-Ko, which he
has played many times professionally.
The chorus has been thoroughly
drilled and rehearsals for the principals
are held frequently. The worthy char
ity for which the performance is to be
given and the vogue which the
.'Mikado" is having-companies are
playing it ali over the c~ountry-will
undoubtedly call out large audiences
on the night of the performance.
This will positively be the only re-
vival of this opera IN New Jersey.
Tickets, obtainable after Monday next.
will be sold at so cents, and the pro-
ceeds will be turned over to the STARS
fund for the purpose of making. 1t is
hoped, many outings possible for the
poor babies of Newark during the heat
ed term.
