Mime. Alma Dalma, who is better
known to the American public as Mrs.
Rudolph Aronson. is to create the title
role in Mascagni's new opera OF Iris"
in America. She has been giving its story
to her friends. Iris is young and
innocent Japanese girl, the one JOY or
blind father. She is seen and loved by
a prince who has heard her sing. Aid
I'd by his servants. he abducts her. This
makes a most dramatic scene, and
Iris song as she is carried away is ex-
pected to make the success OF the act.
which ends when the blind old father
finds his house deserted and calls for his
child. The next act Is laid In the gay
est part of Toxic, where the prince has
taken Iris. Still innocent, she be-
lieves that she is in Paradise. and as
every one can do what he pleases in
Paradise, she tries to paint and to play
upon musical Instruments. When she
makes daubs and discords she fiings
everything upon the ground and breaks
into cries of rage. Her father. entering.
and believing her degraded. curses her.
In the third act she dies under the
fathers curse. She has had a moments
happiness, but has found 1t an Illusion.
Mascagni himself is delighted with his
opera, and says that II the public likes
1t half as well as he does 1t will be great
success. He says that the melodies for
1t feirly flowed through his brain, so that
he had no difficulty in writing them.
