Show William Tell" ly the Jucli 0irru Con.-iv.iny. Con.-iv.iny. The Salt L.ks thoator was only con -fortably filled last evening, but tho and'-ence and'-ence was a select and apiireoiativo out. There are ether operas more popular than "Willinm Tell," and it is only fair to suppose that the musical portion ol our people are reserving themselves for "Mignou" tonight and "Carmen" tomorrow tomor-row evening. J itch last night ns Toll's son made a very pretty boy, nnd i-ho sung and noted with her usual sweetness and vivacity. In tho trio with "Ilod.vigs" and "Matilda" she was particularly effective, ef-fective, nnd receivod well merited applause. ap-plause. All through tho opera the lady maintained her splendid reputation of n artist of tho first order, and whenever she appeared on the stage she never failed to carry her audionco by storm. Miss Maumuhol fully redeem! any of the shortcomings noticeable on tho p-c-vious evenings. Her vobe while weak is very sweet, but it partakes more of the nature of mezzo-soprano than of contralto. Her performance and singing sing-ing last evening as Toll's wife proved that the lady is capable of better things when given the opportunity. She is a beautiful women and always succeeds in wiuning hor audience. "agiiapiotra was Tagliapietra hist night, and it is iinpnssiblo to say moro. Of course this refers to his singing only. As the actor self was lost sight of, in'i William Tell, tho Swiss patriot, was nil that ono saw or thought of during the porf jrmnnce.

She dressed the part of the Austrian princess prin-cess with consummate skill, and her great beauty of porson combined with all her other advantages completely won for her tho hearty appreciation of the uudiunco. . As a whole "William Tell" was admirably admir-ably presented. Tho scenery w as effective, effec-tive, tho choruses good and the orchestral orches-tral accompaniments exceptionally fine. Tonight, "Mignon." Tomorrow evening for the fourth and last performance thi3 excellent company will produce "Carmen." The San Fran cisco Chronicle says: If Emma Juch was tho ideal Marguerite Mar-guerite on Monday evening, her Carmen last night was a no less artistic triumph. So entirely dissimilar are the two characters cha-racters in ovary particular fhat there was much speculation as to how the youthful prima donna, who was so simple sim-ple and unaffected as tho German maidon, would acquit herself as the dashing and passionate cigarette girl. To say that she surpassed tho highest anticipations of the audience is but simple justice." There has beon a lively demand today for "Carmen" seats and tho last irform-ance irform-ance will no doubt be greeted by a full houso. |
