pure and simple, and Heinrich, the bell
founder, is a dual character. The
character of Rautendelein, the elf, who
spirits Heinrich to her wild mountain
home, is given to Virginia Harmed to
create. She is the symbol for Nature,
a hayward, happy child, until the
chord of love is struck, and the vibra-
ton awakes a discord that only the
union with Heinrich can set at rest.
Love is the element tina awakes the
action Of the play.

Albert Alvarez, the new French ten
or, who has come to sing at the Me-
tropolitan, New York, brought with
him a domestic establishment such as
no other famous tenor was ever known
to import. NJ. Alvarez has brought
with him his mother, his wife and his
daughter. Albert Saleza brings his
wife, and so do Andreas DIPPED and
Thomas Salignac. The women Of the
opera company have always shown a
much more domestic tendency thas the
men, and this year every one of them
that owns a husband brought him ov-
er with her. Possibly husbands are
more willing than wives to undertake
the hardships of American travel for
the sake of the society of their eonju-
gal partners, but it is a fact that the
organization is this year more fully
supplied with husbands and wives who
are supposed to be neither seen nor
heard than ever before.
