lutely new lecture in every particular, be-
ing given for the first time this week. Last
year Mr. Holmes foreShadowed this sub
ject by showing two three motion pic
lures of the snake dances of this interest
ing people. but these few fragmentary mo-
tion pictures in no way convey any ade-
quate idea of the charm and quaint pic
turesqueness of the life of these Pueblo
dwelerS and their peaceful institutions.
Little is known comparatively speaking of
the Moki Indian-his customs his habi-
tations, perched on the lofty submits of
precipitouS meSas in the Arizona wilder

MARIE BREAIA SONG RECTTAL-The
Grau Metropolitan Grand Opera Company

famous prima donna, Miss Marie Brema,
who was engaged by Mr.. Grau for the prin-
cipal Wagnerian roles during this seasons
grand opera. Miss Brema was engaged by
I-amereaux to sing the part of Bran
gaene, in the recent and now famous Par
is1an production of Tristan and Isolde"
and her work created intense enthusiasm
and won the commendation OF the French
critics; the Paris Figaro writing as fol-
lows: Her Brangaene, now tender now
restless, mournful and tragic. dominates
the drama, and carries it to an exalted
height, and chiefly owing to her the au-
thors idea is carried out. Whether she is
concealing her features in the background,
or commanding the stage together with
the principal characters in the DRAMA one
might believe that one saw the statue of
Fate, terrible. inexorable or consolatory
Her conception of the part is indeed Of
sovereign beauty" Although without a
peer IN her special roles at the Metropoli-
tan, Miss Brema is as wonderfully success
ful in her song recital work and has as
tonished the New York critics with her
perfectly restrained lyrical singing and
remarkable and finished interpretations.
