The crowd began to gather early and five minutes before the curtain rose there were only a few seats left, and those were in the last balcony.Edward Hoerner, baritone, who sang the male lead, gave an unusually fine performance as the Marquli deCorneville, as did Carmen Rosell in the role of Serpolette. The audience applauded each song with gusto, and at times the opera was delayed by the continued applause.Dalton Weber, as Grenicheau, and Mrs. De Ello Simon, as Gerniaine, portrayed their parts well, and the appreciation of their fine voices was indicated by the applause they received. Thomas Brahney, as the Bailiff, and Aubrey Oswald, as the Notary, besides giving fine exhibitions of singing, injected some humor into the story with their funny antics. Henri Wehrmann was outstanding in the cast. His fine characterization ofGaspard, the miser, was the finest piece of acting witnessed in a Loyola production in many a year. The minor principals and the chorus performed exceedingly well. The matinee performance was a big improvement over the night performance Thursday. It was pol ished up and improved almost to perfection. The cast knew their lines much better, the orchestra gave a much better accompaniment, and the whole opera ran more smoothly.
