Miss Anna Fitziu appeared as Mimi
in the San Carlo Opera Companys per

haitian Opera House last evening. Her
singing was sympathetic, particularly
in the third act, when she was at her
best. In acting she did not visibly de-
part from tradition except in one re-
spect. Her Mimi was healthier in the
first and second acts than she is usual
ly permitted to be by other singers.
Not until the third act did the tradi-
tional cough appear. After that the
decline was rapid.
Miss Kettle made her second appear
ance this week as Musetta. She sue

vocaly and temperamentally she is
better suited to such role as Micaela,
which does not demand the exhibition
of o shrewish temper. Mr.. Agostini
