GRAND OPERA HEARD
in BARRE LAST NIGHT
Most Notable Performance of the Sort
Ever Given at the Barre Opera
House Received With I'M
bounded Enthusiasm.


As the large audience poured out OF
the Barre opera house last evening,
praise was on the lips of all for the
splendid entertainment given by singers
of the Boston Opera Co., who came to
Barre on their tour following the close
of the opera season in Boston and warm
pleasure was expressed that Barre should
have been favored with an evening with
such singers, some of whom are among
the best known in the country and even
! in the musical world.
! And that expression of praise and
pleasure was only continuation OF the
enthusiasm which was manifested all
! through the performance. Never has an
audience in Barre reached such heights
of enthusiasm as was shown as number
after number, encore after encore and
extra number after extra number was
given The applause was spontaneous
and not the least forced, being only such
as can come from real appreciation. And
as the manager of the company detected
the note of sincerity in the applause, he
went behind the scenes and arranged
with the artists to give extra numbers,
thus filling up measurefwhch appeared
already to be full.
That the singers, too, felt the note of
sympathy with their audience was
evinced by the zest with which they en-
tered into their work and by their readi-
ness to respond to repeated demands for
encore numbers, which extended the pro-
gram till nearly II o'clock.
