Notes, Local and Foreign.
Christmas week opens with no less than
fcvi n legitimate theaters in active operation ;
but it cannot be said that thu bu-iness of
fi rod at any one of them is enlrancingly at
tractive. Our manager-, for the mo>t part,
have lmrked back on ground run over be
fore, ar.d taken the chances that everything
will ko at a time when people are supposed
to be so happy as to be tolerant and are not
too inquisitive or exacting. We have one
opera company less than we had last week.
Miss Emma Abbott and her singers, after a
profitable fortnight at the Baldwin, have
- sliakeu the dust of tan Francisco off their
feet and departed for "fiesh woods an.i pas
tures now." "Anne B,.leyu" and the "Bo
hemian Girl" were respectively the matinee
ana evening performanc-s on Saturday.
Besides the opera first named the notable
production of Uie week was Cbarlea
Gounod's
"KOMKO AND JI'LIET,"
Originally performed in English by Miss
Abbott and company at the Grand Opera
House, New York, in 1879. Wo were im
pressed with the grace and beauty of this •
opera. The dramatized version of the love
story lias been departed from in nearly ev
ery phase, necessary, of cuurse, to its lyric
investment. Iv tlie earlier scenes the music
is soft, fluently melodic, and, issuing from
the lips of the fair prima donna, breathes
the dawning of a first love in every tone.
Some profess to find iv the composition rem
iniscences of the garden musings of the Ger
man Marguerite, created by the same author,
and who. iv point of a woman's experience,
meets Faust under nearly the same enn
(iitions that Juliet meets Romeo; it is ob
jected that the situations Ik; ve led to a similar
uirtliud, iv a degree, of musical expression.
'1 his is somewhat hypercritical Mbs Abbott
was at home in the role, of Juliet, and as
t!.<> tnifiic features of the opera developed
met the demand for the more earnest and
ißiDaasiOßed music in the potion and death
scenes quite as effectively as she did when
her acquaintance with Rmneo was only
rose colored. The balcony scene was a
chaining one. In it the lyric Romeo has
the advantage of his counterpart of the
drain i. Ha climbs the obstacle, and there,
face to fare and lip to lip. kisses the beauti
ful daughter of the house of dmiiet good
night—"a long, long kiss of youth and
love." Sig. Michclena, the tenor, as if in
,-iJire 1 by the occasion, sum; h:s role with
animation and feeling. Air. William I'ruette
I -.iJ In Mercuiio a personation that fitted
him as a glove fits the hand, and the way in
\\ii:ch he rallies the love-lorn Romeo with
"ilab, the Queen of lying visions," had in
it a >l«*plii>topheles-like cynicism. "Borneo
and Juliul" will, of all the operas given by
Mis* Abbott and company during their fort
night here, be the best remembered.
11l« Hrsa Company.
Public interest in the C. D. He3s opera
organization, now at the Orpheum, is still
sustained. It has been iucreased, if any
thing, by tlie addition of Pauline L'Alle
mand to (lie list of singers. Her great suc
cess dining the week has been iv "Lucia di
Lanimermoor." when her clear, flexible and
ringing soprano has told with great em
phasis in the different numbers, par
ticularly in the sextet at the end
of the second act and in the "mad scene."
In this last, the fioralura quality of the
lady's voice is very prouounced and lends a
rare charm to the poor, distraught Lucy's,
appeal, "6hed Ihoa one tear of sorrow o'er
my untimely grave, love." In Miss Fran

Who cau meet the demands of all the operas
offered nowadays — Guthrie by her rich,

An event which demands more than ordi
nary attention will be the Emma Juch Grand
English Opera Company's engagement at
the Baldwin Theater, commencing Monday
evening. January stti. During this engage
ment several of Richard Wagner's great
music dramas will be produced, and a num
ber of standard grand operas, including the
masterpieces of Gounod, Meyerbeer, Ros
sini, Bizet, Verdi and Auibroise Thomas, will
also be presented.
The Juch Company, by their superb oper
atic productions in this city last season, not
only won the favor of our public, at that
time, but made an impression which nuzurs
well for the prosperity of their coming sea
sou. Now that the organization in capable
of doing even greater things than before,
as evidenced by the renowned artists on its
Ktaff, the enlarged chorus and orchestra, and
its incomparable repertoire, it is confidently
anticipated that their brilliant triumphs of
last season will be more than renewed.
THE COMPANY.
There are over 125 members in the Juch
Company, which includes au orchestra of
foity and a chorus of sixty, entitling it to
rank as the leading grand English, opera
organization of this country.
This position is sustained further by the
eminence of the artisto who has given her
name to the company and the high artistic
standard which has been set by the com
pany's magnificent operati'r spectacles.
THE ItEPEKTOIKE
Chosen for the first seven performances
is uutioubtedly one that will best bring out
the wonderful and almost inexhaustible re
sources of the splendid company and is as fol
lows: Monday, January sth, "The Flying
Dutchman" ; Tueaday.January 6th, "Faust ';
Wednesday, January 7th, " Lohengrin " ;
Thursday, January Bth, "11 Trovatore";
Friday, January 9th, "Les Huguenots";
Saturday afternoon, January 10th. "Rijjo
letto. or the Fool's Revenge"; Saturday

THE LEADINfi BOLES
In these operas will be sustained by Emma
Juch, Georgine yon Januschowsky, Carlot
t» Maconda, Marie Freebert, sopranos;
Louise Melslinger, Dora Escott, Bernice
Holmes Jennie Flower, contraltos; Charles
Hedniondt. Paynu Clark, Will Stephens.

Vetta, K. N. Knuii!, Pier Dcliseo, li.usos;
Musical Director Adolph Nciiendorlf will
ciuduct tlie performances and William Par
ry will have charge of the sta^e.
ACCKSsOKIES.
The scenery, costumes, properties and
stage effects used in these productions will
be absolutely correct and appropriate ia
every respect. The attention which the
Juch Company devote to the mounting of
tlieir operas is one of its praiseworthy
features. The company possess the nmst
extensive nnd valuable operatic stng,e plant
in the world, and afforded unlimited re
sources ;n this respect.

The Baldwin management have selected
"The Private Secret irv" for their Christ

The first performance takes place to-mor
row evening. As a good deal of the "go"
of this piece rests upon the Rev. Robert
Spalding (the private secretary), played al
ready in this city by Mr. Nick Long and by
the author himself, Gillette, much curios
ity is aroused to see what the new man,
Dustan, will do with the eccentric character.
X? 1
Dustan as the Private Soxcfary.
Contemporary criticism pronounces him bet
ter than his predecessors, good a< they were.
In his every-itay walk and conversation he
realizes the idea of the timid secret iry on
the stage. Dustan has the appearance of
an undertaker who has drawn a prize in tlie
lottery and does not know what to do with
the money.
The New Busli-Slrnvt
Reopened last <v. ning for its regular
winter season with a large attendance to
fee the farce remedy of "U and 1." This
will make seven theaters now in active oper
ation in the city. It never rains but it
pours. The farce Manager Leavitt his
selected for the purpose of "renewing the
assurances of his distinguished considera
tion" with our public is a liappy otic, and
is led in the way of fun-making by that
merry brace, Gus Williams and J.Win T.
Kelly, who made their joint appearance in
Kefffns Supreme.
thi3 city for the first time. There are
thirteen members in the cast. "Tin- Teuton
Hnd the Celt," well illustrated by Kelly and
William.", the, latter as a German music
teacher and Kelly as an Irish aristocrat,
furnished the amusement of the eveninz.
The whole pieie is a satire on " living in
Frencli flats, ' the fashion now in New York,
more than in this city. Gus Williams is a
familiar character on the stage all over the
country, from thn time that lie gained fame
ax a meinb'T >if Hurry S.irgent's great vaude
ville comi'.iny twenty odd ye.irs ago, when lie
saug " (.'ha!UDii|£iie Charley" and other
songs that still linger in the memory because
of their melody until thn present day.
Williams bM always done his share
of merry-m iking on the stage. He has had
his tips ;ind downs, has made several for
tunes and lost them, but seems to bo on the
road to prosperity again, holding a new
1, use of popularity from the public.

The Alcazar's layout for the holiday sea
sou is :ilniM-t as odd as the Baldwin's. It is
confined to Nat Goodwin's "Turned Up"
and the fine old English farce of "The
Rough Diamond," in which Mr. L. R. Stock
well will reappear on this stage as Cousin
Joe. However, as both tho pieces are pro
vocative of fun, and there is an excellent
company to properly present them, we have
no doubt the theater will have its share of
patronage during the festal time. A mat

Kmma Abljntt'a Mem Opar*.
M. Henri Hiiynie, Paris correspondent of
.he American Musician, New York, says
that during a conversation he had with the
composer of those successful operas, "Oli
vette" and "The Mascotte," M. Audran,
the latter informed him that he bad received
an order for a new three-net opera from
America lor which he is to be pnid 80,000
trams (£10,000), half of which had already
been paid in advance, and that the nota
bility who ordered it is no less a person
than Miss Emma Abbott, who bas just com
pleted a very satisfactory fortnight's en
gagement at the Baldwin. The reason, as
M. Haynie tells it, why Audran consented
to write the opera is interesting. "She sang
the whole of her repertory to me," said the
composer, "and at last 1 consented." But
the Frenchman was wary and witty.
After getting $8000 In hand, ha tied a
string to the opera by making a proviso that
.she should only have the use of it for three
years, after which it will be his again to
dispose of or publish. Hiss Abbott will,

therefore, only have the exclusive richt to
the opera for three years at $.">:&•( per annum.
while llaynie chides Wits Abbott fe>r not
si ending her motley wiih nn Aiiiercnn com-
I'Oser, lie, at the s: me time, admits that she
di serves credit forgiving a conUßbsioo to v
oomioser at all, since it is so rnre
that executives ever think of creative
artists except to make money out
of tlieir works without a thought
of compeasatii n. Bkebat by this one act
atoned for many nrtistic shortcomings, and
it will earn for her honorable mention in the
annals of music, winch even Adelina Pattl
will never he able to attain. Patti lias made
more money on the lyric stage than any
singer who ever lived, yet she has never
given a commission to a composer to create
even s-o much as a new song, or, if so, it is a
profound secret to the musical world.

Powers' "A Straight Tip" will have run
its race at the New California this evening,
and will to-morrow evening be succeeded by
the Howard Atlici;auin Specially Company,

the combination. Paul Cinqupvalli is one of
the new features. He is called by the En
glish press "the prince of jugglers," and is
a man of superhuman strength, to whom a
cannon-ball is but us a marble to a school
boy. "His strength is wonderful," says
the Manchester Guardian, "but his
agility and grace of movement are
more so, as may be seen where,
exchanging the cannon-ball for an
egg, he throws it up to the flies
and neatly catches it on a china
plate." Cinqaevalli is an eleg-mt and ac
complished master of his art. "Dutch

for part of the summer at Daly's Theater,

an adaptation from the Freuch, "Lend Afe

tion of "Ganelon" will be given its first
hearing in the metropolis. Mr. Young's
romantic tragedy was made known last fail
in Chicago, where it was most enthusiasti
cally received and became the talk of the
town. The story of" Uanelon" is historical,
and the scenes are laid in the Island of
Corsica in the early part of the ninth cen

of Koncesvalles, utider Charlemagne. In
consequence of the disgrace attached to his

The result of M. ij. Curtis' vi6it to Philadel

Curtis was annoyed originally for a few
hours by the suit Sully brought against him.

Sully is liki-ly to experience, not dimply a

The following anecdote concerning the
vulse in 1) flat (op. 64) by Chopin, so widely
known and so marvelously played by De
Pachma iid, will be interesting. Georges
Sand had a little dog, as the story goes,
which was in the habit of whining round
and round iv a vain endeavor to catch its
own tail. One evening when thus swinging
round the circle the famous French novelist
said to Chopin: "If I had your talent I
would compose a pianofoite piece for this
dog." Chopin sat down to the piano at once
anil improvised the charming vulse above
mentioned, to which was giv. n subsequently
tho uause '"Viilsu dv Petit Cbien."
