LES HUGUENOTS' REPEATED
Performance Gains, Miss Hem
pel Showing Improvement.

There can be no doubt OF the popular
appeal Of Mr.. Gatti-CasaZza' production
of THE Huguenots' as presented at the
METROPOLITAN Opera House last night Tor
the second time. Every seat in the audi
forum was sold and the stanGees reached
their legal limit while enthusiasm was
unrestrained.
And 10 be fair. there IS good cause for
this interest. The old opera has the at
traction of a remarkable scenic invesu-
ture. Of cast Of principals nearly al 4
whom are competent and some far more
than that. Of well drilled chorus OF
stage pictures composed with unusual
fidelity to detail, and spirit informing
the whole that brings forth the WORK
