Aborn Grand Opera Company at the
Colonial Theatre in this city on
Wednesday night, was crowded out of
The Eagle yesterday. We are not will
ing, however, that the appearance OF

composition, at least it is so regarded
by many competent critics, and easily
takes rank with the leading operas of
the other great composers. The story is
one of deep interest, Astounding in SEN

The story is familiar to all, and it is
not necessary to repeat it here; and
though it has been before the public
for more than fifty years, it has lost
none of its magnetic charm and power
to move and thrill those who hear it.

the Aborn company was well nigh per-

from the large audience present. Sew
eral of the scenes, especially those
bringing out the we'll known airs of

of art, and were fully up
to anything seen in the larger cities.
