MONDAY, MARCH s, 1022, % E DAILY BRITISH WHIG. Theatrical © Boston English Opera Company Present "Jl Trévatore" Tonight. When the Boston English Opera Company closed its scason in Bos- ton, Manager Beck selected tha 7 principals who made the biggest hit in Il Trovatore for a tour doing just this one opera. The result is that | these same artists appearing in ev- | ery performance compromise what jis | truly an all star cast and people who have seen 'Il Trovatore many times Say that never before have they heard a performance where every part was QJ! well cast-or one that moved mbre smoothly, This all star cast together with the famous Boston opera chorus is appearing at the Grand Opera House tonight on- ly, and it will no doubt stand as the Supreme musigal event of the sea- Son. The fact that only one cast is carried thereby entailing no excess expénse together with the fact that Packed houses are the rule every- where this company has appeared make it possible for them to play at popular prices from 50c to $1.50 and from all indications the theatre will be packed to the doors to hear this excellent organization in the world's most popular opera,--Advt. * Allen To-Night, ._Alburtus, the miracle man, 38ins his engagement at the Allen Theatre this evening and during the course of the performance, he will awaken the young woman who slum- | bers peacefully in the window of the "Song Shop," obHvious to the thous- | ands of people who have viewed this remarkable demonstration since Sat- urday afternoon last, The stage of the Allen has been enlarged so that the beautiful stage settings used by the Alburtus company may be hung. The appearance of Alburtus is pro- ceded by a magnificent Hindoo pro- logue, in which Mlle. Sena, a noted Egyptian dancer and a ballet of Hin- du Maidens offer a superbly staged dance. If you are in doubt about anything, ask Alburtus. He knows. He answers all questions at tke Al- len Theatre to-night. Hope Hamp- ton in "Star Dust" a First National attraction, will be the feature at- traction.--Advt. ' "At the Strand. Balzac was probably the most pro- Hfic writer of his time; amd his works are still eagerly read throughout the civilized world, To- day the Strand will present for the first time in Kingston "The Con- quering Power," a picturized ver- sion of "Eugene Grandet," one of Balzac's most vivid stories. Perhaps the element of biggest interest to film fans in this production is the feat that Rudolph Valentino, the star of "The Sheik" and "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse," plays the leading role. Opposite him plays Alice Terry, the gifted screen ac- tress who also made a great name through her powerful work in "The Four Horsemen."
