Evangeline, the beautiful musical
extravagant with all its Manhattan
beach splendor and excellent cast
charmed a large and fashionable au
dience at the Academy of Music last
evening. The production equalled
all that was said of it The cast was
the same as that which appeared in

The musio was entrancing and beau
tiful and the chorus, with its many
pretty faces, was exceedingly strong.
Did the audience appreciate George

ing him. Mr. Fortescue 's every
movement kept the audience in a
strain of laughter. As for "Rose,
Miss Madge Edwards, a constant
companion to "the little baby," she
was as charming and clever as could
be.
Miss Blanche Clayton essayed the
prt of Evangeline, instead ol Miss
Fortescue, who was ill. - Miss Clay
ton has a lovely voice and there
could be no improvement in her con
ception of Evangeline. Graceful,
simple and unaffected in her efforts
she was rewarded by numerous en
cores. And there was graceful

dashing lover. Her rendition of "A
Soldier In Grey," was complimented
more than any other selection.
Miss Baker has an ideal voice for
opera. Her powers 01 crescenao
and diminuendo are marvelous. She
can fill an auditorium with magnifi
cent volume or modulate a sweet
ditty for a parlor at will. She has a
voice full of volume and yet trained
to softness.
Miss Prince in the "Steals way"
complexly captivated the audience.
Her. costume was superb and her
appearance was, every whit the
pretty fairy that she is.
The ever-present "Lone Fisher
