Tivoli Success. 1 to sit up until 11 | from being | chorus | valling enthuslasm, its popularity is rath- | er_on the increase than otherwise. There is an especially happy cast for | the opera in this representation, which. doubtless, accounts for a larger propor- tion of the enthusiasm, and indeed it was conceded all around that the opera was given in perhaps more fully satisfactory shape than anything that has yet been | put on. Encore after encore greeted the favorite numbers, and kept the play going i1l long after the nsual hour of closing, and each singer seemed at his or her best. : Anna Lichter:is certainly more happily suited in the role of Marguerite than in anything else she has done this season. Her ‘“King Thule” and the -Jewel Song” were admirably sung and charm- ingly acted. Frances Graham adds an- other to her growing list of successes as Siebel. Miss Eleanor Josephs, in a mag- nificent gown, Martha, filled the part very satisfactorily. Faust himself has not often recefved a more gracious rendering, than was accord- ed the part last night in the hands of | Barrop Berthald, and a notable feature of | its success was the fine blending in the tone quality of the veicee of Faust and Marguerita. Signor Salossa received an cvation on his appearance as Valentine. Nicolini’s Mephisto was very good in | places. His voice, however, is hardly of sufficlent depth 2nd his work as rcgards rhythm Is often very apparently careless. Wagner was satisfactorily sustained by Signor Napoleoni, ard a good word must | also be sald for the chorus and orchestra. | Orpheum. Jessie Bartlett Davis fs still the bright | particular star at the Orpheum, and last | night she was recalled again and agatn | and_smilingly complied. The songs she | renderea gave full scope to the flextbility | and volume of her magnificent voice. The | | most charming of the five was possibly “Because 1 Love You So,” which was | rendered with an archness and swestness | that were irresistible. Her last was the ever-welcome “O, Promise Me.” Among the newcomers the Johnston brothers tablished ther orites.

ADDITIONAL CLASS CREATED IN THE GRANT PRIMARY Solitary Case of Overcrowd- ing All the Directors Can Discover. Board Makes a Tour of Schools and Mark Says Principals Are Sat- isfied With Present Status. e SR The members of the Board of Educa- tion made a round of visits to the various schools of the city yesterday to ascertaln for themseives whether or not the classes which Superintendent Webster says are overcrowded need reclassification.

Principals of other schools visited de- clared themselves sa ed with the pres ent classification and no further changes were made. In the case of the Grant the new class will be formed of the overflow from the third and fourth grades. Contrary to_expectation, the classifica- tion of the Pacific Heights School will remaln unchanged. The average enroll- ment there is heavy, #ty-three being the number of pupils in’ mc but ag the principal is satisfied the board has_decided to take no action. ““As to who will take charge of the ne class.1 am not yet prepared to state Said Mark last eveniug. “Of course we shall be guided by the priority rule. We ail not, however, appoint an_incompe- t teacher merely because her name n the list. Should school have any happens to come first the skip two or even three names to get an efficient individual. The matter wiil be decided at the next meeting of the board.”" At the Pacific Heights School three | pupils are unprovided with desk room. Thete will be accommodated. Other schools visited were the E: Primary, Everett Grammar, Dudley Stone Grammar, the Jackson Primary and the Crocker Grammar. ‘I'he board reports that there is ample aceommodation in all these schools, and that principals declare themselves well pleased with the classi- | fication.
