This time it ii that incomparable artist, FritxiSchaff, in a bright new comic opera called “Babclte”. The eiitios unan imous in the opinion that Miss Solicit' is the one rial sensational success of the season and declare with enthusiasm that no such lir*t night has been seen in New York in many years. The New York Ilervld Raid themoruin# after the first production: “The *tigo lias gained a real queen of comic opera in Piitzi Solicit’, w ho is nowr appearing at the Broadwry Theatre in “Bibetto”. Charles 1J. Dillingham lured Miss SchefT from the Metropolitan Opera House, wh .re for three years she was the pet of i lu patrons of grand opera, and instated li ;r at the head of a largo company to pro sent, a new romantic comic opera by Victor Ileibert and Harry B. Smith. Tlrs opera “Babetto” was presented in New York for the first time on Mon bay nii'li! and made an instant triumuh wi*h public and critics. The Sun said “the at tractions of “Babette” are many and ciptivatiug.” Tlio world said ‘Fritzi Sjbcft' sang like one possessed.” The American said “the audience arose to their feet shouting bravos, aud cheering.” The News said “Fritzi Schell” and “Ba b_*ttc” nredestined to a long and prosper ous run-on Broadway”. Mr. Dillingham has surrounded Miss Schell with a com| any of unique dis tinction. Eugene Cowles, Biehie Ling 1 la llawley, Loirs IIorison, E. .1, Con u »’1y and .Jos piline Bartlett are some of th • Mincipals. In ;1, ilie organization numb us one hundred and fifty people.

Savage’s English Grand f)pera Company began on Monday even ing a four weeks’ engagement at the Studebaker Theatre, Chicago, having made the journey from Boston direct by two special trains of Pullman “sleepers” and baggage and scenery cars. The transpoitatiou of this great organization, with its itnmence quantity of luggage aud the complete scenic equipment of a dozen elaborately staged operas, is quite the most niportant task the railroads have to shoulder in their relations with the amuse ment world.
