Lewis Morrison’s Faust Splendid Production at Elys Opera
The Faust presentation at Elys Opera House last night impressed with lavish scenery and dramatic electrical effects.

The quartet and sextet numbers, led by Trimble, Gootman, and La Roux, stood out alongside a notable violin solo by Prof. J. A. McPhail. Overall a splendid show and much lamented final curtain.
