NEXT WEEKS Bill | is generous

The last day of the second week
of Grand Opera in Honolulu finds the
theater entirely sold out for both
afternoon and evening performances.
This afternoon large audience is en-
joying Verdi's famous opera, I'll Tro-
vatore," one of the NEST popular
works of the old school of Italian COM
position. At the hour of going to press
there are several hundred opera seek
ers standing in a long line at the
Opera House, eager to snatch up the
comparatively few seats in the gallery
which, for this evenings performance
have necessarily been placed at 81
instead of so cents. This is by rea-
son of the high royalty exacted by
the composer and the publishers of
the Butterfly music for permission to
present the opera. " .."
In point of attendance and enthusi-
asm the week just passed has equaled
the first week of the Lambardi en-
gasement That's brought out a most
discriminating audience on Wednes-
day, and the beautiful Massenet opera
won instant favor in the hands OF
Nine. VicariHo and Sig. Nicoletti.
Every seat for the Butterfly perform
ance tonight was sold within one
hour after the sale opened on Monday
morning, and several hundred people
desiring to hear the Puccini Japanese
story have been utterly unable tC
osecure tickets. A strong pressure has
} been brought to bear upon the Lam
ebardi managers for a repetition of the
: beautiful opera, and it is possible the
swork may be included within the rep
dertoire of the farewell week of thu

Honolulu, there to enter upon long
run at the Academy of Music. A spe

from San Francisco direct to Chicago,

made The opening date in New York

constitute one of the most extraor-

is that of a whole-souled woman.
