Tue manager of the Templeton Opera Company being desirous of presenting to the citizens of Charlottetown an unusually strong attraction during Jubilee week, en- vaged some of the best artists in the world of comic opera, The result is, an orginiza- tion complete in every particular. The company boasts of two prima donnas— Miss sula Stevens and Miss Hattie Starr. Both ladies are clever artistes, with sweet voices which show ‘correct cultivation. Besides being splendid singers, they possess the very necessary attribute to successful comic opera prima donne, viz: ability to act. The leading female roles of latter day operas eall for good acting as well as first-class singing. In having two such ladies, the Templeton Company is fortunate. Miss Augusta Roche, the contralto of the coim- pany,is a lady who stands in the very front rank of musical artistes. She created the role of Lady Jane in Patience in Am- erica and was complimented by Sir Arthur Sullivan on her successful ren- dition of that well-known character. In such roles Miss Roche is unsurpassed by any singer on the American stage. The leading tenor is George F. Traverner, an Englishman who has earned an enviable reputation in the United States. His voice is sweet and pure and he speedily becomes a favorite with his audiences, Alf C. Whelan is a singing comedian of rare abi- lities. He has played *o-Ko in ‘‘The Mikado” throughout the*S8rates, and has won noend of compliments. Mr. Harris, the original Mikado in America, needs little introduetion. His success in the role of the Japanese ruler was complete. The flattering press notices he received are an assurance of his ability. D. A. Flint pos- sesses a deep bass voice, which is heard to excellent advantage in such roles as Dick Deadeye. He is, beside, a thorough actor. Richard Burton is another clever singer, who has been winning high praise from eminent critics. The chorus, a very necessary adjunct: to a first-class opera company, is large in‘numbers and strong in voices. It is well drilled, and renders the ensemble music of the various operas with a dash and ge that is thorough- ly enjoyable. An orchestra accompanies the organization, which is not usual with opera companies coming down this way. The repertoire of the Templeton Opera Company comprises ‘* Pinafore,” ‘* The Mikado,” ‘* Olivette,” ‘‘ Girofle-Girofla,” and **The Mascotte.” The music-loving community may confidently look forward to & musica] treat on Monday night next, when the organization appears here for the first time. The National Anthem will be sung by the company at the end of each performance. > a Miss MeGarry’s eee Entertain- ment. Tue audience at Miss McGarry’s second Entertainment was much larger than that at the first, and the appreciation evinced was even more marked. It is not too much to say that the entertainment was satisfactory in every respect. The selec- tions were very good, and Miss McGarry’s reading was as nearly faultless as possible. Miss McGarry is undoubtedly the best reader who has appeared in Charlottetown. Mrs. Lear’s songs were capital, and re- peatedly encored, THE PEOPLE SAY —That the marines and sailors of the warship Canada should be invited to parti- — in the military proceedings on jubilee aay. —That most of us have not forgotten the rare treat received at their hands some years ago. —That there is a great demand for the jubilee souvenir. That our jubilee celebration should be advertised in some of the Nova Scotia and New Brunswick papers. —That the next blaze will probably be a large one. —That Jennie McGarry is the best elo- cutionist who ever visited this province; and that she is a credit to Canada. eee .
