Show Mrs. Oates. Mrs. Oates, with her English comio opera company, appears twice at the theatre, Monday and Tuesday evenings even-ings next. On tbe first evening, tbe new three-act comio opera of "Le Petit Due" will be presented. While commending the singers as a whole, and tbe acting generally, the San Francisco Bulletin has this to say of the opera iUelf : Tbs piece, which was produced at the Bu3h Street theatre Monday night and repeated Tuesday, is really a fine comic opera, as diderent from the long list of operas of the "Grand Duchess" aud "La Perichole" class aa a farcical comedy is from burlesque. "Le Petit Due" is a fine work of art. Its music and action lack tbe lawless abandon of the class of operaa the Oates troupe ia associated with, hut both are bright, lively and distinctive of character. |
