'noted TOLD ON HER nUBBY, Some Remarks of Ita at Grand, Fri. day. There are some smusing incidents in connection with the entertainment, giv- en by Ita, at the Grand, Friday night, a Kingston woman asked her A some information, and she got more than she bargained for. "Your husband recently went to To- ronto, on what he termed a business trip," she said, "but I can tell you that it was not altogether business that took him away. nest time your husband goes to Torento, 1 would advise you to go with him." The audience smiled at this, and the pm woman took the fun good-naturedly. Ita also had a little joke, at the ex- pense of a young couple. She describ- ed correctly, a trinket he had in his pocket, and after so doing, said that the young man did net come to the show to-have her describe this trinket. "And what did he come for," asked Ita's manager: "To find oul when he would marry the young lady with him." This brought down the house, and the young people themselves joined in the joke. There were several other amusing incidents. Ita gives ber closing entertainment at the Grand, to-night. ' "Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch." Optimism, undaunted "by the rude jolting of 'the world's rough elbows, and simple, { unshaken faith in human nature, are the predominating tones in "Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch," which comes to the Grand on Monday, September 26th. Mrs. Wiggs, dear, kind-hearted, optimistic soul, seeing everything through rose-tinted specta- cles, appears to have been transplant- ed from the printed page to the light: ed stage without having lost one ves- tige of her sterling goodness. The homely wholesome philosophy _of Mrs. Wiggs with her quaint sayings and her opiimism that cannot be subdued even under the most depressing circum- stances, is uplifting and at the same time thoroughly amusing. The play itself is a homely story of humanity and real goodness, honesty and right purpose, with a pardon in sight for every siomer who looks for it. There are thirty in the cast and even thé goat and "Cuby," the "fit horse," bid for popular approval. The scenery is deseriptive of humble sur- roundings and preserves the atmos- phere of the play. 100 Singers and Musicians. The cast of "Il Trovatore," will in- clude Edith Helena, soprano, as Leo- nora; Domenico Russo, tenor, as Man- rico; Harry Luckstone, baritone, as the Count di Luna; Louise Le Bavon, contralto, as Azucena; William Schus- ter, basso, as Ferrando, and Elizabeth Harris, mezzo-soprano, as Inez, at the Grand on Tuesday, September 27th. Yusical authorities in America have the rapid increase of interest the general public in grand opera, eupesiaily when sung in Eng- lish, in ull of the larger cities during the pas? few years, and there is no doubt that this growth of appreciation for the works of the masters has spread to all parts of the United States and Canada. Consequently Mil- ton and Sargent Aborn, who have pre- sented grand opera in English most successfully every season for a number of years, but only in the very large citiea where long runs were possible, decided to send the present Aborn English Grand Opera company on a general tour. This organization num- bers one hundred persons in its double east of alternating singers, powerful chorus and large grand opera orches- tra, and travels hy special trains in. cluding three large baggage cars re quired to carry the stenery, costumes and effects of the various operas of their repertoire, Is Highly Regarded.
