ADJUSTMENTS,


house may eafsly be depended upon
whenever half decent company sings
this masterpiece OF Verdi. 1t was to be
expected that with the excellent rspu.
tation which preceded the Tavsry Opera
company here. large and apprecistivs
audience would be on hand last night
when the Trovntore was rendered, and
such WAS the case.
The Leonora OF Marie Tavary was I'M
doubleday never equsled in Los Angeles.
While the audience 'seemed to be some
what cold during the frat act. it warmed
up considerably later on in the evening,
and IL Leonora was not applauded as
she deserved in the Now Hear Mel OF
the second scene she had no cause to
complain In scene two OF the third act,
where she and Manrico were rspturr
ously recalled several times and had to
respond with an encore. Marie Tsvary
was the recipient also of much applause
when che sang On Rosy Wings of Love
Departs.
Miss Helen Won Dosnhoff lie a great
Azucena with wonderful contralto. In
the duet OF the first scene in tho second
act with Manrioo the applause was deaf
ening. In the third act she was recalled
several times.
Payne Clark's Manrico was a revala-
ton. Such splendid singing as that to
which he treated his hearers it is not Of
ten tho good fortune OF dwellers on the
PNci6c coast to enjoy. ~The~>tower song
was carried with such Ia brio shat noth-
ing would satisfy the hou5s but repe>
tition.
The Count di Luna Of Mr.. William
Mertens was excellent all through and
he WAS, as the other principal singers en-
oored several times, notably in OF Her
Smile the Radiant Cleaning, in scene
two in the second act.
The dungeon scene was splendidly
sung, and the curtain went down with
the whole audience delighted with the
rendition of the Trovatore in a manner
to which Los Angeles hsa long been q
stranger.
The rest OF the cast was passable and
the chorus was neither particularly
good nor particularly bad, but the
orchestra, under the leadership oil
Signor Emerioo Morrealli. was excel-
lent.
Considerable cutting had been done
