It is unnecessary to add that they have made a complete success. Mr. Crane takes the part of a retired preacher and lecturer, Dullstone Flat, who wishes to see something of the world, and does so under the efficient guidance of Cutler Sharp (Mr. Robson). Nov. 8, the Strakosch and Hess Opera Company will open with "Aida," - Marie Roze in the title-role. "Faust," "Fra Diavolo," "Carmen...
