Following at it did, a heavy drama, the sudden change, wat especially pleasing nnd the first show was deserving of a better crowd than graced the house last evening, The nature of the company is not the comic opera by any means, but a light opera. The ability of the'Chours as singers wasejpecially noticeable. The rendition of "Two Roses" was gool. From begin Ing to end thera are catchy songs, and beautiful stage settings. The tonor has voice the equal of which is seldom heard in light or comic opera.
