THE STAGE
DETROIT OPERA HOUSE.

The daintiness, the tunefulness anC
the satiricaI wit of the delightful light
opera, The Mikado," was given q
most meritorious revival. Thursday
evening, in the Detroit opera house
by the Joseph Sheehan Opera com
pany. A houseful Of people thorough
ly enjoyed renewing their old time &C
quaintance with the pretty Yum Yum
the love-lorn Nanki Pc. the pomIous
Poo Bah, the ubiquitous Ko Ko. the
''un-handsome" Katisha of the famous
left shoulder and the terrifying Mi
kado. And, as for the melodic orches
tration, the amusing and lifting songs
the audience hung on every note and
every word, and applauded with roya
good Will at every possible opportun
ity.
There cannot be too many reviyals
of this best Of all Gilbert and ST. liyan
efforts, The Mikado." II Is the right
sort of entertainment for the high
brow and the mere "show-goer," and Is
so clean and bright in its humor, 60
delicately satirical, so full Of the
charm OF pretty melody that endless
repetition cannot dim its brilliaEcy. II
Is one of the pure delights in light
opera, and Is as fresh and fascinating
as when II first enthralled England
and America, nearly a quarter OF a
century ago
While the Sheehan company's pre-
sentation of the opera was not as am
bilious as the, ,allstag, revival OF II
made last season With Nine. Fritz

its limitations, as good as the best
II was prettily staged with. careful at

work and the women were alta,

the old song goes. but with a won

In showing him that his work was
appreciated.

Fitz Schuman was entirely satisfac'
tory as Pish Tush. Joyce lie Claire
was a fetching little Pitt Sing, and
Harriet Case was the other little
maid from school," Peep Bo. Miss
De Sellem had the serio-tragic-comic
part OF Katisha, and won double
encore for her song about the perfidy
of man. Joseph Schram was fearfully
and wonderfully made up as the Mika-
dos umbrella bearer.
All OF the members of the company
are to be congratulated upon their
individual and concerted work, and
the opera was given with a spirit and
finish that was highly commendable,
especially In view OF the fact that ~
is but one of big repertoire, changed
almost at a moments notice, and is
the second OF three operas the com
pany was obliged TO prepare for this
week. The orchestra gave every sup
port to the singers and under Direc'

spirited rendering of the score.
