Meth ln her sole work nnd In the concerted numbers her voice was clear, fresh, under excellent control ami amply sufficient in every detail for the part, exacting ns It 1b. Her ncting was nlse excellent. Mr. Agestlnl appeared te better advantage as Hodolfo than in nry part he lias yet essayed here, and it is doubtful if there 1h any tenor en the eperntlc stage who haa nt instant com mand he many of the great roles as this excellent singer. His voice in the grcnt aria and duct in the first uct was beautifully resonant and of splendid quality, and these characteristics were maintained throughout the uhole opera. Miss Keltic wa also excellent as the willful and capricious JMu.setta. notably 1 in the se-called waltz bfthe second act. The Bohemians were a capable and well-balanced .crowd last evening, the , three regular membera of the company being re-enforced by Henrt Scott, of Philadelphia, as Celline. This addition was a noteworthy one, ns .Mr. Scott's ' voice hns the rich and heavy quality , which is required te balance (he ensem ble of tlie qunrtct and which has net always been found in Cellines of the past. Mr. Itejer nnd Mr. D'Amlee were mere than satisfactory in their roles, ns was aUe Mr. Ccrvi In the deuble part allotted te him. Huti while the members of the cast were individually excellent, it was in the balance nnd the spirit of the per per fermnnee that the greatest merit van found. It is net an ensy opera te present, us it is full of ticklish stage situations, but last evening everything went elT with the utmost smoothness.

OHIO Why a Steinway? Because of its universal acceptance as the quality piano, there is never an indication of criticism when Steinway shows en the fallbeard of the home piano. It is a name that symbolizes geed taste; emblemizes cultivation. It is the very hallmark of business sense. Steinway is bought by "these who knew" without thought of price. It could be easily sold for much mere. There is no competition te Steinway, whether musical quality is considered or mechanical excellence. Se well recognized is this fact that ether pianemakers have long sought the dis tinction of competition by raising, their prices, at the same time effecting the means for big discounts and trade allow ances, and commissions for these who recommend their pianos. The Steinway piano is invariably sold at one price. Only Philadelphia Representatives of Steinway & Sens: N. STETSON & CO. 1111 CHESTNUT ST.
