ABoRN COMPANY SCORES.

The Kansas City Journal of last
Monday in the course OF a column
and a half review of performance
by the Aborn English grand opera
company, which is TO sing III TROY
atOre" at the Illinois here next Sun
day evening, had the following fat
tering comment.
The Aborn English grand opera
company. the most pretentious ex-
ponent of grand opera in English
since Mr.. Savages efforts in this di-
rection. began memorable half
weeks engagement at the Willis
Wood last night in a brilliant pro-
duction of Verdi's magnificently me-
lodious melodrama. II Trovatore ,
The Aborn people come as strangers
to the music lovers of this commun-
jty but they place the obligation
of the patronage of good music for
good music's sake firmly upon the
shoulders of all who are sincere in
their pretensions at musical appre-
citation.
when such an organization can
be made to pay and can give such
an inspiring exhibition Of vocalism
as was heard last night in the Ian
guage OF the country, II is about
time for Americans to abandon the
toryism which scknowl-
edged its only allegiance to that
which comes from across the water.
There have been numerous aggrega-
tions OF transforming foreigners
whom the Aborn singers so far out
class that comparisons would be
more than proyerbially odious. II
the singers who sing in English were
inferior to those who are imported
for road trips, there might be some
excuse for preferring good foreigners
to poor natives But without making
any allowance whatever on the score
OF patriotism il may truthfully be
said that the Aborn vocalists give a
far better performance than any or
yanization ever heard here with the
exception of the very few companies
made up Of the greatest artists on

MADAME x" POWERFUL PLAY.
While mother-love is the pivotal

erful play, Madame X" yet the
author falls back on the scriptural
warning, the wages of sin is death, -
for his moral-and he drives the in
junction home with a forcefulness
that stirs audiences to tears and
sobs. There is an intensity of sit

awes the auditor; there are horrors

TO defend his own mother. Madame
Y does not recognize the boy, nor
has he the least suspicion as to her
identity. He has always supposed
that his mother is dead. But the
boy feels a strange, inexplicable SYM
pathy for the poor, pathetic Great
ure in the prisoners dock, and he
makes a mastery appeal for her. So
powerfully does he picture the de-
spair and distress of his client; so
skilfully does he draw from little
incide nts that have been brought
out, the real reason why the killing
was done that the sympathetic jury
acquits. In the meantime the moth
er has learned by merest accident
who 1t is that stands there so val
iantly fighting her battle with all
the ardor OF his young heart. One
long terrible cry of anguish escapes
her as she learns the truth-then
she relapses into the deathly lethar-
gy that has all along marked her
course. She knows that she is Iast
approaching the great gulf and her
one hope is that she may reach it
before her son discovers who she is.
In the last few moments OF the
play there comes the discovery by
Raymond of all that has happened,
his brief reunion with his mother
a moment in which all the sorrows of
90 years roll away from the poor
creature-and then the finale, the
death of the wife and mother just
as her husband is about to fold her
in his arms.
The play will be given at the Mo-
line tonight and at the Burtis to-
morrow night.
