The first attraction at the new thea- ter was the Vienna Ladles’ orchestra, and afterward there were concerts given by the “Spanish Students,” a dis- tinguished band of mandolinists, guit- arists and such, that were stranded here on their way from Mexico. The house was then something on the order of the old Fischer’s, the lower floor a cafe, but almost immediately Joe Krel- ing began to realize his ultimate dream, opera. Little more than a year after- ward the Tivoli gave the first prodtic- tion of “Pinafore” with ome of the half-dozen “Pinafore” companies stranded out here, the opera running for 104 consecutive nights! Of course after that the policy of the house was assured, and since that time nearer six than five hundred operas have been given, embracing all classes. At the beginning this meant tremen- dous effort for the promoters, *“Joe” in particular. His dally programme of work makes the eight-hour day look like a plenic. He would be found in the box-office all day, taking charge of the bar in the evening, after the per- formances translating German, French and Itallan operas into English for the company until 2 or 8 o'clock in the morning. But Mr. Kreling got his desire, though he undoubtedly pald for it with his life. The Tivoli became famous, and is «t{ll unigue among operatic institutions. And what things they used to do in those old days! One finds in the list of their productions colossal things like Mozart's “Magic Flute,” the “Don Gio- vanni,” “William Tell,” “L’Africaine,” “Der Freischutz” Again there are all the operas that Herr Conried gives now at the celebrated Irving LN TERIOR.. 7879 Jevorr QR Llovsm;: Place Theater in New Yeork, the good Herr has a mind to the first production of “She,” 3illy” Furst, Tivoll, that -ran for there and afterward ve years on the road. - There are duct of local genjus, Ocsar ‘eil's “Buzette’ and the - “Pretty acher,” H.

Before _that grand and comic opera were iched indiscriminately together, parate sons not having management. A modest eight weeks was the first grand opera record, and thea it has varied from that unto a twenty-week season. t of us are familiar with its later ince Once only has this unique twenty- five-year season of opera been inter- rupted, when to please Edwin Stevens “Cyrano de Bergerac” was put on in s It was one of the cleverest things Edwin Stévens has done. A rather curious coincidence is that the house was first closed for the death of Presi- dent Garfield, September 20, 1881, and last closed on September 19, and 20, 2, for McKinley's funeral. The theater has been closed only for a few weeks since its opening, for the deaths ng in the Kreling family, for al- d repairs. st year the Tivoli was violly under the Kreling ocjanagemer:. Jo- seph, fsunder of the house, was -its mainstay until his death ip 1887. Wil lians then took the cares.of manage- ment upon his shoulders, and on his death in 1893 tley were undertaken by Mrs. Ernestine Kreling. Mrs. Kreling, before that time chiefly concerned with the buttons and appetités of two small boys, then entered upon the work of theatrical managemert, and might have been seen any time for the last ten years in the old Tivoll office, doing anything to dressing dolls for the Christmas show. How succeseful Mrs. XKreling has been, always with the in- spiration of Mr. Leahy behind her, is a matter of common knowledge, and as the head of the Tivoll corporation that is to handie the new theater, one can wish her only the same good judgment, enterprise and high purpose that have g0 far been hers in her theatrical career. And now, the following lists of the operas produced will no doubt prove in- teresting, for they include everything that the Tivoli has given: 1879. H. M. S.

The little monthly is keeping well up to the standard set by its editors, and in spite of a somewhat artless con- sciousness of its own value and naive belief In the unworth of all that is not its, yet “fills a long-felt want.” The magazine takes in all of the Califor- nian news of importance, discusses brightly the questions of the hour and should be read by all interested in music. It Is, besides, attractively made up. printed clearly and generally up-to-date. »
