With two enjoyable performances of Offenbach's 'Tales of Hoffmann and Verdi's "II Trovatore" yesterday after noon and evening, the engagement of he San Carlo Grand Opera Company, in he Public Auditorium, has come to a clone for the present. At this writing It Is not possible to give a financial statement showing how the opexa engagement ended from dollare-and-cents point of view, but in view of the fact that on no single occa sion has .the . audience crowded the Auditorium, it Is not thought that the project has been one of financial gain. It was assumed that the public was hungry for grand opera, in Italian, at popular prices, but It was observed that the said public did not buy seats en masse, although - the attractions were worth the prices of admission. The artistin worth of the operatic attrac tions was eminently worth while. " Mosle la" Liked.' Jacques Offenbach's-"Tales of Hoff mann" is a favorite opera and a well known one with people in this city. It has one air, a barcarolle, that Is whistled end sung along our streets. It has been borrowed and stolen by differ ent and later composers, to lend bril liancy to their scores. Offenbach Is a French musical composer, of Jewish parentage, and he waa born In Cologne in lilt. Offenbach's operas are noted for brilliancy of scores and ear-pleasing tunes, while the librettos are witty and laughable. In French the opera ot 'Tales of Hoffmann" is known as "Lea Comtes d'HorTmann," and had its pre miere In 1881. In "Hoffmann" we meet with much gay fun and fantasy. By some critics the opera is called "a tipsy man's dream"; but this is too hsrsh. The first act is a prologue. Hoffmann, a poet, enters' a tavern or saloon, to seek his. companions and to try to drown his sorrows, from unhappy love affairs, in liquor. His chums believe him to be in love, but he says that is old history nd he relates three tales of his love ufTulrs. In act one, the girl Is Olympia In act two, she Is Gluletta. and in act three, she Is Antonla. Hoffmann's love experiences are that ha always "gets left. His girls prefer others. - See aery I tiood. Hoffmann waa excellently portrayed by Giuseppe Agostinl, who sang with cultivated Intelligence of high class vocalism. His voice Is best In soft or piano passages. Hdvlge Vacrarl, prima donna soprano, was the laughable and highly artistic automatic doll that sings and plays, and .nods its head sol emnly, -one. two, three. When the dainty prima donna was moved about one beard the cleverly-managed "click- click" of the. supposed machinery. Joseph Koyer waa excellent In the double rolsa of Coppellu and Dapper tutto. Natale Cervl was sufficiently comical and successful In Crespel and bpaianxani. The scenery In "Hoffmann" is splen did and otherwise spectacular. Carlo Peronl. the conductor, did One. tasteful work with tbe orchestra. Applause was hearty. ROBEItT E. SMITH WILL MANAGE LIBERTY LOAN CAMPAIGN. S00 Join Loyal Loggers' Legion. CENTRAIJA. Wash..
