GREAT SUCCESS
DOUGLAS, Aug. 17.? Tho Lyric
Theatre was filled to its utmost ca
pacity last night when tho comic op
era "Pinafore" was presented by lo
cal singers under tho ausplcoa of tho
Douglas Island Woman's Club.
Martin E. Robinson, tho director,
scored another triumph in his handling
of amateur opera and deserves the
highest praise for tho careful and sys
tematic training given the young peo
ple.
Tho chorus work was especially
bright and pleasing. In "Over tho
Bright Blue Sea", "We Sail the Ocean;
Blue" and "He is an Englishman," tho;
harmonies were beautifully brought
out.
C. D. Grier gave an cxcellont inter
pretation of tho pompous Admiral, Sir
Joseph Porter. His character work
was extremoly original and amusing.
Mr. Grier's fine barltono voice was
well adapted to the requirements of
tho part. Ho was ably seconded in
his work by Miss May Parker as
I "Cousin Hebe," assisted by her "sis
ters and her couslns^and her aunts."
Mrs. L. B. Wright as Josephine, tho
heroine, sang her solos and duets in
a sweet and charming manner. In
the "Bell Trio," Mrs. Wright, Mr.
Snow. Mrs. Snow and Mr. Grier ro
' reived generous applause.
Miss Ruth Fager seems quite at
I homo in the role of "Littlo Buttercup",
I and sang her solos and acted her part
jwith much finish and expression. Her|
i duets with Mr. Snow were especially,
: pleasing.
M. A. Snow as captain Corcoran
sustained tho character in the digni
fied manner it deserves, and his dra
matic representation of a command
ing officer leaves nothing to bo de
sired. His duets with "Buttercup"
are among the gems of the opera. His
solos "My Gallant Crew" and "Fair
Moon" were especially good.
H. W. Smkli was assigned one of;
the most difficult roles of the opera,
that of "Ralph Hackstraw," the sailor
lover of Josephine, and ho deserves
special praise for the excellence and
finish of his work. His solos and his
duets with Josephine were beautifully
rendered.
E.i W. Reynolds made a great hit as
"Dick Deadcye." His comedy work
showed originality and keeness of wit.
The part gavo full play to Mr. Rey
nolds' excellent range of voice and his
ability for clever impersonation.
Francis Cornwall as the "Boat
swain* 'had a serious time keeping
Dick Deadeye in place. Ho sang his
part with assurance and ease and his
pleasing baritone was heard to spoc
ial advantage in his solo "Ho is on
Englishman."
The Woman's Club deserves hearty
congratulations on this, their first ef
fort. and it is to bo hoped that we
will have other performances in the
future equally as good.
The opera will be repeated in the
Lyric tonight.

Junior, and Jound it to be the very thini
I wanted.
