THE THEATRE
The Oliver was comfortably filled on
Monday, January 17, when Madam S:al
chi and her conceit company appeared
here. Madam ScalcbVs wouderful voice
is smoother than on her last appearance
in Lincoln. The applause which she
received from an unusually discriminat
ing and musical audienco was satisfying
even to the exactions of a prima donna
whoso voice hs melted multitudes who
have been cold when Patti sing.. Mine.
Scalchi has temperament and the cotes
are warm. The program was in Italian
and there were cot many of that na
tionality in the house, but her tempera
ment conquered the medium cf expres
sion snd interpieted the dramatic situa
tions satisfactorily. In Martha, Mrae.
Scalchi was a graceful lady of quality on
a lark. She flirted without mawkish-
climate which has made him and his
ancestors capable of singing a song that
way, must have occurred to every one
within Bound and sight of him. Mr.
McQueen, the tenor, was disabled with
asoro throat. Mademoisello Bedatsang
one number. She is apparently travel
ing with the concert company for the
sake of experience and the undoubted
educational benefits of association with
Mme. Scalchi.
Tho program was in three acts. Part
I. fcur numbers from Traviata, Carmen,
Huguenots and Rigoletto, Lend Me Your
Aid, by Gouno i, and a Staccato Polka,
by Mulder; Part II. the second act of
Martha in costume, and Part III. the
fourth act of II Trovatorc.

pjrament. She has no way of commun
icating passioif or feeling to the audipnee
except by her voice, which is aclea-,
colorless soprano. Her mind seems to
be concentrated en how she is singing,
when it should bo concentrated on the
theme. She sings very correctly and
excites no fear that - Bhe will not get
thrpugh all right, but her interpretation
lacks sincerity. She tbould have learned
from Madam, the hot-tempered, that
much can be forgiven to her who loves
muca. Signor Albert! has a good bari
tono which he uses effectively. While
he was singing and his fiexibb Italian
body was moving in emphasizing har
mony with his sorg, ths Mediterranean
him the title of tho "Nineteenth century
David Garrick." is announced for next
Tuesday evening, January 25, at the
Oliver theatre to presant a highly pj
tistic double bill at each performance,
consisting of "Old Innocence," which is
a three act, humorously pathetic comedy
and the dramatic character painting
Sir Henry Hypnotized.'' "Old Inno
cence" is 8 true picture of home sim
plicity, where the light and dark shades
of life are delicately intermingled. "Sir
Henry Hypnotized,'' which he presents
at every performance in addition to "Old
'innocence," is a rare dramatic treat,
palatable to the most fastidious, as it
introduces Mr. Murphy in many of his
famous impersonations of renowned ac
tors and statesmen, including portrayals
of Henry Irving as Mathias, John T.
Riymond as Col. Mulberry Sellers, Joe
Jeffersen as Bob Acre?, Sol Smith Rus-
