A FINE PERFORMANCE...
There was a crowded house at the Star Theatre-last night, whee **Facet ** was presented by the Cargi Opera Company. This-one of the most popular of compara tively
operas is which calls for careful produc tion, if for no other reason than that its numbers are so well-known. Few of those who own a gramos! phone have not among their "good". records one at least of the many beautiful arias or choruses from "Facet," and when such familiar musje is presented on the stage. audiences can readily judge whe- ther the rendition is good or not.
The cordial reception given to the Campi Company last night, clearly showed that the audience was very well pleased with the nerformance. The stage, of course, of an elaborate does not allow scenic effects, but the singing was excellent. The soloists were all in good formi, and the chorus work- of which there is plenty-was böth tuneful and toneful.
