'A crowded house greeted the production of "La Poupeé" by Pollard's Lillipatisn Opera Company at the Lyceum Theatre on Monday night. The piece was beautifully stood and costumes and scenery were excellent, but there was little trace of the original music of the opera, several of the prettiest nambers beitig displaced by introduced melodies. Of the songs from the score, Miss Irene Finlay (Father Maxi mndeadecided hit in her rendering of "A Monk Am I" and little Miss Ivy was equally successful as the I love you very dearly." Of the introduced numbers, " Fishing" (Miss Ivy Polland), "If this World were ruled by Girls" (Master Macnemara) and "If there hadn't been an Apple on the Tree" (Messrs, Macna= mara, Johnnie and Freddie Heintz Miss Lily Bull) met with most our and were repeatedly encored. The honours of the performance fell to Miss Ivy Pollard as "Alesis," Mr. Mocoamara as " Hilarius", Mise Lily Bull as " Launeelot the Novice" and the Brothers Heintz as " Baron Charterelle" and " Monsieur Loro-mois". Although the performance is" burlesque of Audran's comic opera, it may be classed as one of the most successful of the Company's productions here and certainly delighted the audience.
