Jefferson De Angelis is so thoroughly
unique in hi.s style that he is easily
differentiated, not only from the mass
■f American players, but from the se
lect group of leading comic opera come
dians, among whom he ranks and with
whom he is generally associated by
the theatergoing public In spite of
the fact of his long association with
otht-r well known comic opera stars,
he has retained his individuality com
pletely, and could never be mistaken
for any other personality in his own
or any other line of stage work.
"Jeff." as he is familiarly called at
Hie 1 :imbs and other New York
clubs. Is essentially a rollicking wag.
as full of prinks and pranks as the fiery
Eteed In the fable. Not only is he
mirth provoking— tie is himself mirth
ful — but glee shines from his eyes and
jollity pervades every action and re
action of his restless composition. His_
new opera, expressly written and com
posed for him by Stanislaus Slange and
Julian Edwards, is well named "The
Jolly Musketeer." Jeff could be noth
ing else but jolly, and as a natural se
quence, the role of the roystering, mad
cap swashbuckler fits him to a nicety.
There is nothing stilted or stereotyp
ed about this comedian's mirth or the
fun hi' provokes for others. He simply
sees the funny side to each situation or
climax, and manages to keep it in sight
from start to finish. Jeff's laugh.
Which is of the heartiest kind, usually
starts ii> with his first entrance on the
stage and it permeates and punctuates
his efforts to amuse to such an extent,
and so honestly real, that it infects
every one of his co-workers In the most
sympathetic and inimitable way. He
seldom does little bits of "stage busi
ness" twice alike, and apparently en-
Joys hi? own fun as much as do his
audiences or the members of his com
pany. Jeff is jolly, and there's no deny
ing that, and as to his dancing, he is
far and away the best of the whole
"bunch" of comic opera comedians.
Whether it is the graceful glide of the
glamorous gavotte, or the whirling
whish of the whisking waltz, Jeff is an
enthusiastic and untouchable proposi
tion. Jeff has not the voice of a De
Rezske. but withal it is an excellent
singing voice and admirably adapted
te his line of work, being strong and
forceful in the middle baritone regis
ter, and then, too, his enunciation is
so perfect, that every word he utters
' is distinctly intelligible to the farthest
listener in a big theater or auditorium.
His character in the new opera, "The
Jolly Musketeer," is one thoroughly
suited to the personality and methods
of the eomedinan, and he is the cen
tral figure in the quaintest and most
extravagant situations.
Richard Barker, of London, famous
as the original producer of Gilbert and
Sullivan's operas on the other side of
the water, and the responsible man for
most of the important musical produc
tions seen in this country in the last
fifteen years, came to New York city
last summer for the- express purpose
of staging "The Jolly Musketeer." R.
H. Burnside, formerly of the Savoy
theater, London, and lately with the
Lillian Russell and Bostonians com
panies, gave valuable aid as Mr. Bar
ker's assistant. Albert Krausse. long
connected with the late Anton Seidl,
and for the past three seasons the en
ergetic assistant of Mr. Victor Her
bert, is the musical director. Dazian,
the famous cofitumer of New York
city, made all of the dazzling costumes,
from sketches made by Mrs. Caroline
F. Siedle. The mechanical effects were
furnished by Claude Hagen, while the
many novel properties were contrib
uted* by Edward Siedle, of the Metro
politan opera house, and last, but by
no means least, is the superb scenic
environment provided by Walter W.
Burridge and Ernest Gros. These men
are all leaders in their special depart
ments, and Inspired as they were to
do their best work, have each ren
dered exceptionally fine service. These
results have been gathered and con
verged with experienced artistic taste
into a consonant ar*d beautiful entire
ty, to surround and accompany a de
lightfully* droll story written by Stan
islaus Stange. with the romantic and
mirthfully melodic music of Julian Ed
wards' score. The well-known princi
pals of Mr. De Angelis, excellent sing

"MY FRIEND FROM INDIA."
Fine Comedy Bill nt the Grand Thin
Week.
'My Friend From India" comes to
the Grand for a week, commencing to
night, with the Smyth and Rice co
medians. It will be remembered that
theosophy is the theme of this play,
end much merriment is gotten out of
it. H. A. Dv Souchet. the dramatist
who struck suoh a good thing in the
idea of his play, was a telegraph op
erator and Is still suoh, as he declines
lo allow his head to be turned by its
success. He stuck to his key and did
not, haunt the theater where his play
was being produced. The play was
written some time ago. It was with
some difficulty that he found a man
ager to put it on. A theatrical friend
who was interested in the play held
frequent conversations over the wire
v.ith the operator, during which ideas

and prospects for its production were
discussed.
There are said to be a great many
funny situations in the comedy, and
Charles Bradshaw, George Mack and
Ada Oilman have congenial characters.
The principal people introduced are a
retired Kansas City pork packer, who
briiiKs his family to New York with a
view to getting them Into society; his
son. a troublesome young scapegrace,
who goes on terrible sprees and has a
penchant for breaking plate glass win
dows, and a barber, who deserves the
title tonsorial artist, which he claims,

theosophy. The son wakes up one
morning and finds the tonsorial theoso
phist, who is a perfect stranger to him,
in bed with him. They came home to

no recollection of the fact. He dis
covers the barber's hobby, and in or

the house presents him to the bluster

thereby hangs a tale. No end of com

kept In convulsions of laughter from

WITH DAILY MATINEES
Vaudeville Bill lullonliiK Do lon
chet'M Comedy at the Grand.
Following "My Friend From India"
at the Grand will occur the big vaude
ville event of the season. This com
bination of stellar vaudevillians was
especially engaged by Jacob Litt for
two weeks in the Twin Cities, and the
promise is made that the occasion will
present the most expensive array
of specialty artists ever seen In the
West. . The average vaudeville bill only
contains or star act.
while this occasion will offer two of
striking prominence.
The first will be the Leonidas dogs
and cats, the most marvelous trained
animals of the kind In the world. Prof.
Leonidas and his clever cats and dogs
made a great hit in New York, and all
the eastern cities. His cats and dogs
were seen here last seapon with the
Hopkins Trans-Oceanic Star Fpeclalty
company, and the Interest they at
tracted will be long remembered. The
act still includes the cat that climbs
to the top of the theater dome and
makes a parachute jump, a perform
ance which so pleased the ladies and
children.
Another feature will be the ap
pearance of the famous Nelson family
of acrobats. There are nine In the
family, and they have been featured
with prominent circuses and other at-
tractions. Bach of th«se features (It
Is alleged) commands alone a salary of
$500 per week.
Other acts of an expensive and en
joyable nature included In the bijl are
Ecker and Berg, in a novel musical and
a programme of magic and comedy;
operatic specialty; Albinl. magician. In
Felix and Barry, who Introduce a com-
edy act, unique and entertaining; W. J.
Mills, in novel character changes; the
Columbian four in a novel musical spe
cialty; the wonderful Learner sisters. In
a strong contortion net and other
features of decided Strength.
Notwithstanding .'*-■ the remarkable
strength of this attraction there will
be no advance In prices and owing to
the popularity off $h»» Leonidas dogs
and cats with teminftte theatergoers,
there will be a?*, datfly popular-priced
matinee during this engagement, Sun
day alone excepted.

DRAMATIC DOTS.
Miss Helena Frederick, who succeeded -Alice
Nlelson— the newest comlo opera star— last
season in the repertory of the Bostonlans
company, is a member this season of the De_
Angelis Opera company, which is this season
presenting Stange & Edwal-ds' brilliant opera
"The JCIIy Musketeer." i Miss Frederick
scored a great success with the Bostonian<=
notably In the prima donna role of Yvonne'
In Victor Herbert's '.romanHc opera , "The Ser'
enade," and In the other leading soprano
roles was equally successful. Miss Frederick
has been on the professional stage but three
years, yet in that brief space of time she
has made progress in the art— more than
many who have been given a longer span of
Ume. This young and heautlful girl Is a na
tive of St. Joseph, Mo.
The attracUons booked at the Metropolitan
opera house for the week commencing Mon
day, March 6, will be the famous operatic
comedian, De Wolf Hopper, in his new
opera, "The Charlatan," and William H.
West's minstrels.
Romantic drama continues to hold Its our*
as a popular style of theatric di version. "A
Royal Prisoner" is the tittle of a new drama
of this order, recently produced. It U said
to have mode a strong hit. It will possibly
be seen here In the near future.
"Hogan's Alley" will be seen at the Grand
shortly. CMlmore and Leonard, who hava
made both money and reputation in the piect*.
continue to be Its stars. There la promised
an entire revamping of the skit, for this sea
ton aud a cast af superior strength, including
eotme strong vaudeville features.
"The Trip to Coontown" headed by Cole
and Johnson, Is making a bid for the first
place In the ranks of shows made up en
tirely of colored performer*. The great suc
cess wRh which this company met last sea
eon encouraged the managers. Messes. Cole
and Johnson, to renewed effort; and the
company, as It now stands, Is absolutely
complete In every detail. With new scenery,
fresh and attractive coj-ftumes, new songs and
concerted numbers, and a wealth of new
gags and wlttlclpms, "Tho Trip" furnishes
one of the most enjoyable evening's enter
tainment of any company now before the
public.
"Through the Breakers" Is tbe title of the
latest successful melodrama. P. was re
cently produced by a strong cast In the East.
The scenic features of tne production are
said to be most compleito and expensive.
Of last season's comedy attractions at the
Grand, none was more favorably received
than "McFadden's Row mt Flats." Devoid of
plot or seriousness, it succeeded In making
a great hit through the excellence of the
producing cast. Which Included a contingent
of clever vaudeville artists headed by the
famous Speck Bros., the funny dwarfs. The
company this season Is said to be stronger
than ever before.
Among the early attractions to be seen at
the Grand Is Included Hovt's New England
character play "The Midnight Bell." This
play Is a mixture of pathos and genuine
cumor and the scenes lifelike and inter
esting. A strong cast will present tbe piece
here.

Thursday e'venlinj, March 2, Mme. Blanche
Marchesl, the daughter of the celebrated
teacher of singing, Mme. Marchesl, of Paris,
will make her first bow to a St. Paul aud
ience. From the daughter of such a mother
We naturally expect a degree of efficiency
In the technical part of her art, nor will we
be disappointed, for Blanche Marchesl 1« a
highly trained singer, with a mezzo-soprano
voice of considerable sweetness and power.
Her interpretative power is most exceptional
—In fact, It is her most individual charac
teristic, and she has solved the problem of
how to employ the refinement of voice pro
duction In the heightening of interpretative
effects. Just as one had not heard the music
of "Tristan" until Jean de Reszke sang ii
last year, so has one never understood the
beauty of Schumann's "Herzeleid" and
"Waldegesprach" until Mme. Marchesl sings
it in his hearing.
Under Marchesl's wonderful handling
Gluck's old-fasfiloned music Is made full ot
dramatic meaning and effect; this she does
by the mere force of Intelligent phrasins: and
->en*iUveneifl of tins color. Ma.y of St. Paupj
music lovers are rejoiced to learn that the
"Divinities dv Styx," from "Alcesto," of
Gluck, will be upon her St. Paul programme.
It Is said that her phrasing and tons color
In this old-fast*4oned music Is marvelous.
Mme. Blanche Marcher's singing Is so par
feet because she possesses temperament, an
excellent organ, a splendid methed, and a
fine musical taste— ln fact, everything that A
required in a singer. Marchesl Is the next
