TUNEFUL OPERA WELL SUNG
AbOn Company Scores Triumph in
Opening Performance.

Naughty Marietta madcapped her
way into popular favor at the Ma
tional last night and a week OF the
latest tuneful offering OF the Aborn
Opera Company ought TO stamp itself
indelibly in the minds OF Washington
playgoers as a most refreshing opera
The music is hitting. sprightly, and ir-
resistible, but IL IT were not for MAude
Gray the opera would not have the
flavor that it carries. She is body and
soul of the plot. and the singing, and
her unique size and mAnnerisms
makes her almost part OF the perma-
nent scenery.
The critic has q small task in re
viewing Naughty Marietta" because
with so much sparkling comedy. such
a volume OF lyrics that are bright and
pretty and so much that is colorful
and enhancing, there is not the
slightest temptation to criticise.
Singing Captures Audience.
Miss Gray has a voice OF much
sweetness and charm. She is a rest
less and vivacious bit OF humanity
and the audience no sooner saw her
last night in the role of the madcap
than 1t Applauded her. The more she
sang the more applause she got. She
was not alone in this. Mrs. Kilcoyne
sang well as Adah, the quadroon, and
Carl Haydn. showing the effects Of a
cold, acquitted himself creditably as
Capt. Richard Warrington.
The plot OF the opera has a point
One can anticipate rhe end. but II is
none the less interesting because a
little thought has been spent in look
ing ahead.
Victor Herbert's music has been
placed in accomplished hands in
Naughty Marietta" The vehicle
carries the players along with an
ease that must be astonishing to
themselves. The actor seems really
to live his part in this revival OF
the days OF Orleans around 1870.
Charles H. Bowers sang well and
won favor. James McElhern a. the
servant of Captain Warrington. raised
many a laugh with songs and wit.
Lillian Ludlow, the casket girl,
scored a triumph in this difficult
role.
The chorus was well balanced and
good looks were not forgotten when
the selections were made. They form
ed around Miss Gray superbly. With
such a supporting cast she should
not find II difficult to score a triumph
In any future production.
II praise should begin with Miss
Gray it should end with her. Her
