Soldiers In Opern.

Opera in Russia is sometimes subject
to unexpected Interruptions. The fol-
lowing incident, which recently oc-
Cured at the Court Opera House in
Moscow, is related by Music Trades:
. Carmen was being produced, and
the commanding general Of the garri-
son had kindly lent a number OF pri-
Yates to represent the Spanish soldiers
in the piece. When in the second act,
at the command Of Don Jose, the pri-
Yates marched on to the stage, they
were thrown into confusion by seeing
their eommander-in-chief sitting In the
front row of the stalls They forgot all
about the play and stood still at atten-
ton before the general as required by
military discipline. Regardless of the
wild entreaties of the stage manager,
and the despair of the principal actors,
the dutiful soldiers remained thus until
the general shouted: All right, my
children, play away AT your com
mand, general answered the men, and
then took their part in the piece, the
production Of which suffered. however,
somewhat from the unforeseen inter-
ruption.'
