“This is the last week of the well-known French operas at this theatre. The house has been nightly crowded, but Mr. Birgfeld has felt impelled to change the programe. To-night ‘Barbe Bleue’ will be sung… [Lists operas for remainder of week.] The Fifth Avenue is at present the only theatre devoted entirely to the interests of French opera.”
