THE 1511 NEW STORE DOUGLAS ST. AMUSEMENTS , Last evening the Schiller Opera Continue company , under the management ot David Henderson , gave Its Initial performance In this city. The opera chosen was "The Ho- humlan Girl , " composed by Unite , and first produced at the Drury Lane In London , No vember 27. 1813. Thu story seems to have originated with Cervantes , and was used as the basis of a pantomime ballet called "Tho Gypsey" and played In Paris In 1SJ9 A versifier named Dunn is guilty of the lines , with similar sounding endings He has been dead for some time , but ho outlived the Inspiration of his rhymes In spite of the fuct that It has no diamatlu slgnlicance , the work has been tianslated Into German , Italian and French , and for its production In Paris in 1SGJ the composer wrote nn ad ditional act. Such was its success that he was decorated with the Cross of the Legion of Honor It Is essentially a ballad opera. Its choruses are but songs In four pails Melody Is Its chiracteilstlc clement , and by It has It won Us way around the world and thrilled the hearts of hundreds of thou sands ot men and women during the last fifty-three years People call It old ; but In music only the good things ever live to get old It Is a pleasant task to iccord the Impres sions left by last evening's performance. 1'arnest effort to do one's best , and , as a general thing , most gratifying results , such must be the verdict. Indeed , there was frequently too much effort , more soft singing would have been an Improvement. There Is really no great objection to the choius composing occasionally as they go along , but they should vvrlto the accom paniment also There were occasional har monic Interpolations on their part that didn't "Jibe" with the orchestra a little bit. It Is to bo hoped that there is a.pat ent on that bildge In the first act , which , after three raps , slides part way up the mountain just In time to leave a yawning chasm over which no ono Is attempting to cross. A patent might prevent other com- pinles from using It. Miss Tllllo Salinger , as Aillnc , made a decidedly favoiablo Impicsslon. She is pos sessed of a powerful \olce , at Its best In diamatic effects She Is a handsome woman and made herself popular with the audlcnco at the very beginning Mr. William Stephens , as Thaddcus , the really unfortunate hut hecmlngly very pros perous and well-fed Polish nobleman , sang with fire and enthusiasm. Ills voice Is very clear , and occasionally he pushes It harder than Is necessary , consuming Bttcnsth which he subsequently needs A fuller tone , not so powerful , would please his hearers more. His "Fair Land of Poland" was well sung and still better re peated. Kathertno McNeill. ns the Gypsy Queen , acted thu part consistently , and sang with much expression. Her voice is best In its TlT OtfsVhayer , as Devllshoof , scored an unqualified success. His voice does no ossess all the soothing and tender pathos of humming her first-born to mother a young suV but he sings his music acruiately and well and plays his part with great power JJut , after all , the artist who left nothing to be desired except mnro ot IU own kind , was John McWade. who appeared In the role of Count Arnhclm. His Is a beautiful voice well trained , a musical tempera ment wonderfully sensitive , and an experi ence reaching over many years and Into many lines of musical work.

Jt Is at once pathetic and humorous , and ho won his audli nee from the first and hold It with him until the final drop of the cur tain The play Is the best he has had from the pen of Martha Morton , and the produc tion Is on n most elaborate and at list le scale. The play tells a pretty stoiy ot self-sacrlllco and Its ultimate toward. Divld Holmes ( Mr Kussell ) Is a quiet , sensitive student , who has earned the place of literary writer on the Review , and Is made judge and reader In n $10,000 prize contest for the best serial stoiy submitted to the paper. David Is al most unconsciously In love with Sylvia , who has been thrown upon his charity by her father. Harold Reynolds , a young member of the Review staff , is also In love with her and Imllcls bis hopes upon the $10,000 prize which -would enable him to marry her. Thus thu destiny of the young couple Is left In David's hands. He eventually gives the prize where It belongs to Harold. In thu conflict of the two men , however , character finally triumphs and David Is rewarded with the disinterested love of the young girl. The play was Interpreted by an adequate com pany , In which , of coin so , Mr. Russell stands pre-eminent for his quaint chnractri Uatlon. Hdwln 1) .
