Twin Falls Conservatory of Music
Scores Another Success in Pleasing
Comic Opera.

There was more than the usual
amount of expectancy and keen in
terest aroused in Twin Falls when 1t
was learned that the Twin Falls Con-
servatory of Music was to present
Princess Bonnie" The result achiev-
ed, by this popular school Of music
was beyond what has been shown here
so far, either by professionals or anna
teurs. By request, it was played twice.
The large school auditorium was
packed both nights by most apprecia-
tive audiences, as the frequent ap-
plAuses proved. Hard work and per-
severance by every member Of this
amateur company succeeded in pro-
ducing in Twin Falls, in very fine
manner, this pretty comic opera.
Mrs. j. l.. Daube as Bonnie" one
OF the principal characters OF the play,
proved in her several solos that she
has pure voice of splendid range,
and quality, and it places her in a
class by herself.
Mrs. w. H. Dwight as kitty Clo-
ver," was worth following ''across the
sea-" her charming personality and
voice were unsurpassed and fasci-
mated the listeners.
Misses F. Sanderson, as "Auntie
Crabbe," and Nellie Connard, as Lady
Pomposo," excelled in their respective
roles and their pretty solos were
greatly appreciated.
In speaking of the male parts: G.
j. Reid as "Shrimps" was, during the
whole performance, followed with
keen interest and proved to be popu-
lar with old and young Of both sex.
His voice, sustained by an extraor-
binary fine physic, was powerful and
| true.
Wilton Peck, as Roy Sterling" in
love with Bonnie" sang and acted
his part with his accustomed master
| ly way, text and music giving free
play to his dramatic Interpretation.
Allen Seniors voice as Admiral
Pomposo," was of the right tone and
his. acting fitted this grandiloquous
parsonage to perfection.
| Glen Cox as Count Falsetti," play
ed we'll the villain part His voice
most difficult role which he succeeded
to fulfill with great credit. His make
up" was both perfect and gorgeous.
the "old salt" was the picture of rug

to his adopted daughter.
| Jack, Thorp as Salvador" the dar-
key bodyguard to admiral Pomposo,
was as usual very laughable and fill
ed his part in his inimitable way.
| Needless to say that Mrs. A. Gui-
bert as director of the musical part
of the opera, worked hard to have the
principal parts and choruses as per-
feet as possible.
Mrs. w. A. Aaron and Miss Evelyn
Cash lending their help in their res
pective directorships to make this
comic opera the success of the season
Miss Grace Bell, as pianist, and a
member of the faculty Of the Twin
Falls Conservatory of music, was OF
very great help to Mrs Guibert.
Miss Pauline Alfonte, as member
of the faculty of the Twin Falls Con-
servatory of Music, had charge of the
orchestra, which was, according tc
general sentiment, the best ever heard
in Twin Falls.
The choruses and dances were
faultlessly given; the costumes unsur-
passed in their freshness and reality
In fact, everything in this opera can,
not be expressed by any other wore
word than splendid One more feather
in Twin Falls cap.-Contributed
