New Features

"Oberon' had its fourth performance

Aside from the opera S sequcntial APP

features may be mentioned. Miss
Kathleen Howard took the place of
Miss Alice Gentle in the part Of Fatima

of an indisposition which had seized
upon the latter singer Miss Gentle
being ono OF the singers to whom the
language was Aativc and who has made
us doubt whether it made a particle of

opera, the change raised d hope that
possibly Miss Howard might make us a

she iett the old perpleNity undisturbcd.
Keiss's few words Of recitative and
some detached utterances of Miss
Ponscile were the only Ineligible
words that floated across the footlights S..

IS not English ilbrettos but teachers
of English pronunciation and enunci-

The other feature was the introduce

the Momento .Capriccioso, which. from

The new entr'actc which we believe
had been heard at previous repre-

time between the first and second cur

for this activity lies in the desire OF
