NAM the interior OF the Broadway theater
on Sunday night seemed TO expand into the
long drawn aisles and groined arches of q
medieval cathedral, Of which the gilded pro-
scenium and incandescent lights on the stage
might have been the chancel and burning
candles. No sweeter priestess could have
ministered at this choral service than Signora
Tettrazzini, the sister-in-law of Campanini,
and the Desdemona Of the "Othello" which
he recently produced in America. Her sing
ing Of the 'Inhammatusr breathed the
purest spirit OF exalted religious sentiment,
and held the audience enthralled.
Campanini gave the ''Cujus Amman"
with all his old-time fervor. The cadenza at
the end, II not sung with the silver trumpet
tones of his palmy days, was given with an
exquisite delicacy OF meditation which was
scarcely less delightful w. L. s.
