THE THEATERS

Z Tomorrow evening the, Percy Haswell
company at the Metropolitan will begin
its fifth week in Minneapolis with a
dramatized production Of Ouida's cele-
brated romance, Moths" It has been de-
cfded to give Romeo and Juliet" also for
part Of the time. The rspertory, as now
arranged, provides for Moths" to-mor-
row night, and also for the afternoon and
evening performances next Saturday.
Monday night Romeo and juliet" will
be produced and Will run the rest OF the
week until Saturday.
. Monday night will be souvenir occa-
sion, when every lady attending will be
presented with silver-plated box of
bon bons, each box containing a %litho-
graphed portrait of Miss Haswell on the
cover. These boxes will be found good
enough to preserve as souvenirs of the
engagement of the Percy Haswell com
pany in Minneapolis.
Both Moths and Romeo and Juliet
are SO we'll known that any extended de-
scription is probably superfuous. Moths"
is one of Ouida's best and most thrilling
romances. The scenes take place In Eu-

ficent finale, 20 Sommo Carlo" sung by
the barytone (Sig. CurtD accompanied by
the septet of principals and all the con-
spirators. In Rivela's arrangement solo
instruments stand out in fine relief, so
that the listener easily follows the scene.
Another great selection is the last act
of "La Traviata," the story Of which is
that of "Camille." The music is perfectly
adapted to the sense of the story. Only a
Verdi could have so we'll expressed in
music the matchless pathos of this final
situation. The scene is the chamber OF
Violetta, who, separated from alfredo,
her lover, is dying Of consumption and
grief. The exquisite prelude discovers
her asleep in the darkened roc.n. She
wakes and staggering to her dressing
table gazes at the reflection OF her pallid
face in a handglass while she sings the
pathetic "Addio del passato' (Farewell
to the PasD. She drops exhausted into
a chair as she utters the last plaintivc
note. Reused by the sound of boisterous
music outside she totters to the window
and listens to the passing carnival pro-
cession. The contrast OF pathos and
gaiety here Is one of the finest dramatic
touches in all the range of grand opera.
Then she takes from her bosom a letter
from Alfredo saying that at last he un-
derstands her great sacrifice for him and
will return to entreat her pardon. "Too
late, too late she cries. Hurried foot
steps are heard, N1Oletta rises from her
chair with an effort and Alfredo stands
before her. With loud cry she throws
herself in his arms and together they
sing a wonderful allegro movement ex-
pressive of great Joy. Then seated side
by side they sing the famous "Parigi o
Cara" in which forgetting all their sor-
rows they project a future. OF perfect
bliss. But when Vie!etta tries to put On
her cloak there. breaks upon. her the
dreadful realization Of the truth. To-
gether the lovers sing the despairing
"Gran DID," strains Of heart breaking
pathos, expressive in their simplicity far
beyond the labored efforts of less master
ly composers in. whose scientific elabo-
ration there is no musical inspiration.
Then comes tie final death scene when,
after breathing out her last wishes and
farewells, she staggers to her feet. The
orchestra takes up the exquisite love mo-
tive of the first act and uttering last
cry she falls dead in Alfredo's arms.
.Signor Palma will play the : Violetta
music and Signor Marino that Of Alfredo.
This fourth act of "Traviata" was con-
sidered by Verdi himself to have been his
masterpiece, and its perfect beauty, COM

Mellow old brass Is just now much ad-

Minneapolis already has collectors OF
fine metals and our householders have
suited themselves in selecting from these
local stores. Again, many fine pieces
have been found in the homes OF the
Russian Jews, who bring among their
household goods desirable pieces from
their native land.
Most, perhaps all, the brasses pictured
in this article are Of such character and
worth as to be Of instant interest to the
connoisseur. The illustrations, fine as

Russian brass. In these pieces the tint
is at once soft and fine, inconce1vably su-
perior to the crude, glaring yellow OF
commercial brass. This tint may be due
to the introduction of something besides
zinc and copper, which are the metals
used In making brass, or, again IT may
be due to the working of the metals in
fusing. :
