H. Jordan & Co. The Opera "Isabella' Brilliant Musical Event in Which The Early Diffi culties of Columbus are Suv Amidst Spectacles of a Spanish Court. Woven in brilliant threads into the great theme .or Columbus' efforts to make his voyage ucross the unsailed waters, the comic opera of Isabella is essentially attractive. In . the cos tuming and stage effects last night at the Academy of Music, as well as in the interpretation of the various characters by local talent, "Isa bella" as , acted was fully equal to "Isabella" as written. One might have fancied that he' had been taken back by some Genii's power through the four centuries to the splendors of the Spanish court cf the great discoverer's day. . The red dress and black scarf transferred Charlotte girls into the loveliest of Spanish senorita's. Electricity in its magic power of luminosity reached for the rainbow's hues and sprinkled vari-colored lights upon the stage with bewitching effects. Brilliance, radiance, and splendor held rule upon the stage as well as Ferdinand and Isabella. Miss Lucile Withers as the latter, carrying the leading soprano, was well worthy of the part. With her voice blended magnificently the tenor of Mr. J. H. H. Parks as Ferdinand. Their duet in the closing scene re ceived almost tumultuous approval from the large audience, insomuch that they had to respond to an en core the queen cf song, as well as the Queen of Spain, having to de scend from the throne for the pur pose. ' King Ferdinand did not get quite mad enough'; over Isabella's . demand for money to' equip Columbus' for his voyage but if .,his natural good nature could not fully accommodate itself to Ferdinand's selfish tyranny ae made up for it in the way lie sang his part. " Mr. Roy Butt made a most ex cellent and ' ideal Columbus. He seemed cut out for the role of the serious voyager an dhis fine bari tone never showed lo better ad vantage. Miss Burkheimer as Prin cess Joanna sang a sweet soprano, and her acting was faultless. Mr. Stevenson as Treasurer, Mr. Lyles as Herold, Mr. John Bass Brown as court jester, and Misses Lily Nash.. Etheridge, Thomas and Frances McDonald as Ladies to the Court rendered their parts pleasingly. The chorus drills and dancing were perfectly done and made de lightful spectacular pictures. The tamborine dance of little Miss Hattie Dudley was one of the most enjoyed events of the evening. The little eirl was the personification of childish grace. Mr. Barney Williams came out be fore the curtain and clog-danced a rapturous encore from the audience. Barney, in responding, went after his little brother, Brevard, and together they tripped about the stage, Bre vard seeming to be the veritable little echo dance of his big bud. The ladies' chorus was composed of the following: Misses Lydia Nash, Wright, Butt, Sadie Davis, Isabel Laney, Scott, Carr, Marie McKinley, Fay McKinley, Lucile Withers, Pollv Shannonhouse, Ruth Summerrow, B. Blake, Mabel Asbury, Josephine Osborn, Evelyn Johnson. In the men's chorus, the following named participated: Messrs. Thomas Hayes, Benoit, John Kirby, Will Kirby, Ed Frank, George Belle, John Bass Brown, Mur ray, A. C. Philpotts, Frank Pegram, You'll not find beauty in a rouge-pot or complexion whitewash.
