Since the outbreak OF hostilities with
Spain, the Journal has received upward
of hundred poems of a patriotic and
eulogistic character. Some few of
them We're good, many of them were
bad. and a number were Indifferent.
AS a whole they furnish convincing
proof of the old adage that "a poet is
born. not made" The Journal has not
been able to use any of these produc~
tions. for the reason that the pressure
of war news upon its columns has left
it absolutely no space to devote to
literary matter and the fact that con-
tributions Of this character have not
appeared in our columns necessarily
implies no reflection upon their merit.

CALENDAR FOR THE WEEK

The Barber of Seville" is an early speci-
men of opera bouffe, of the vintage of 1916
in fact, and the humor and drolleries which
in that remote period passed current as
being excruciatingly funnyShave long since
been discounted and surpassed by the
active and ingenious wits of later period.
Who that has keenly enjoyed the humor
of Gilbert and Sullivan comic opera, for
example, can enter into the mild comicali-
ties of Figaro, the barber, when he daubs
the real lather over the cheeks of the old
man and shaves him with a property
razor? Once upon a time this scene was
considered "screamingly" funny. Nova
days 1t would take a long time for even
an Orpheum gallery to find any fun in 1t.
Melba acted Rosina with Carmen spirit
whenever she condescended to act at all.
But as the character of Rosina has nothing
OF Carmen in 1t, the idea was misfit and
the singer appeared to better advantage
when she did not attempt to act, but went
through the part perfunctorily, which she
Gid for the better part of the time.
Which brings me to the end of my lee
ture, the point of which is to enforce the
doctrine that the dramatic art of the opera
singer must not be gagged by the severe
tests that would be properly applied to
that of the actor.
If the operate singer can pierce through
the artificiality of his environment and
rt,;lro
finds responsive thrill in your breast, he
sure you are face to face with grea,

Importance and sting by directing public
attention. to 1t. The libel appeared in pub
LEGATION OF small influence, and would have
done little damage If the hullaballoo made
about 1t had not insured its reproduction
in all the most widely circulated daily
newspapers But having treated II thus
seriously 1t is rather surprising to hear
that Sir Henry Irving and other prominent
members of the English Actors associa-
ton should be contented with the exceed
ingly lame and grudging apology which
Mr.. Scott has seen fit to make. He ex-
presses his regret at having uttered the
words and desire to withdraw them, be-
cause he realizes that they must have
inflicted infinite pain upon many good
women whom not only respect but whose
claims to the good opinions of all freely
and frankly avow." He does not frankly
say that his opinion was unjustifiable, with
no better excuse than thoughtlessness, or
malice, but that he regrets having uttered
it, as he probably does He adds that the
offensive words were spoken Eat mo-
ment Of great personal strain" the facts

Scott's intimate knowledge of his subject.
