The Mascot Toniuht

As was previously announced sev- eral days ago, with the presentation of The Mascot" at the Empress this evening the patrons will have their first opportunity at seeing real full length operas. In presenting two shows each night as has been the custom, it is quite impossible to give an entire opera at each performance, and the management of the Boston Ideal Opera company has decided that the series form of show, which has been running in the east with such pronounced success, will be very favorably received in Phoenix. This arrangement makes it possible to pro- duce every opera from the beginning to the end without leaving out so many of the important scenes and situations as is made necessary when the tabloid operas are offered. Be ginning tonight and continuing throughout the last half of the week
 the first act of "The Mascot" will be offered. Following this on Monday and running for three days the sec ond act will be seen. In presenting
 The Mascot the Boston Ideal Opera Company are seen at their best. The comedy drama has been
 pronounced one of the very best among the old romantic masterpieces and will doubtless receive the merit
 deserved at the hands of the Phoe
 nicians. The story of the first act follows: Rocco, a poor farmer has sent his shepherd Pippo, to his rich
 brother for assistance. Pippo returns
 and tells Rocco that his brother is
 sending him the keeper of his tur-
 keys, Bettina, and advises his master
 to get mascot, and his bad luck
 will disappear Bettina arrives but
 meets with a very cool reception un- til Rocco learns that she is a mascot. Lorenzo the ruler of PimbinO, who is on a hunting trip with his court stops at Rocco's farm for refresh ments. He, too, is victim of ill luck, and on discovering that Rocco possesses a mascot takes her with him to the palace, first making Rocco his high chamberlain and telling Bet tina that she is descendant from a royal family of Panada, that she is a countess A cleverly written plot is wended entirely through this bill, and which will be handled in a manner up to that standard of the opening night.
