In the first opera Itlanca Saroya as Snnluzza and Ilomee Uescaecl as Tu rlddu naturally bore off the honors, al though the ether members of the east performed the parts allotted te them with much vigor of action nnd with excellent vocal effect. Mary Allen wn.s I he l.elii. Nicola D'Amico was Alfie and Anita Kllneva the Mama Eucla.

He showed that he knew the score thoieuglily, nnd, although some what ptedieal of gesture in the ell-tiu-e's, ki.pt the cast and chorus well together nnd showed some erlglnnlity in his reading of the opera. The melodious Intermezzo scored its usual success. "Fngllaeri" was cast with Made leine Keltic as Nedde, Gaetune Turn- tnnsine as Card". Gaetahe Vivlnnl as Tonle. Nicola D'Amico an Silvie and .leseph Tudisce as Iteppe, with Erneste Enech conducting. The performance started with a ru'h.

Frem then en flic opera was re ceived with great applause, which was deserved, as there lias seldom nrcn n performance of the weik here which has had better action en the part nf the principals, nnd wdiat is mere cminll) important, a clearness of enunciation which combined with the action ennbled even these of the nudlenee who did net understand the language of the opera te fellow lis sfery. Mr. Temmaslnl made nn ideal Canie, especially in the dra matic possibilities of the part nnd In troduced some new nnd convincing dra matic features. Miss Keltic was a per per sennble Nedda and sang the pnrt well, and Mr. Vivlnnl carried off throughout the success which he scored in the prologue. The miner parts nf Heppe nnd Silvie were thoroughly well done. se Si JUST WHAT SHE NEEDS AND WANTS , Electric T7 Sweeper-Vac IZ Wth MoierOiven V Brush Old Snnta says that this year par ticularly every woman desires a uneful, lasting Klft like Swecpcr-Vae.
