Paris and placed herself under Juliana.
Without a thought of returning to
America for several years, she sang for
Mr.. Savage during his recent trip to
Paris, and her fine dramatic soprano
created such an impression on the
Boston impresario that her name was
secured to contract on the spot. Miss
Brooks made her American debut as
Santuzza in Cavalier Rusticana' and
also sang Michaela in Carmen" the
same week. Her repertoire includes
Marguerite in Faust" the title role in
Aida Leonora in I'll Trovatore;" Elsa
in Lohengrin' and Airline in "Bohe-

being Othello, the .Troubadour in I'll

"Tosca" and Faust
Winfred Golf, the English baritone,
is another well-known member of the
company. His favorite roles are Iago
in "Othello," the Baron Searpia in

Another new singer to be heard here
is the Wagnerian tenor, William A.
Wegener, who spent four years in Ger

English Grand Opera company during
it's recent New York season, where he
took the role of Lohengrin on a few
hours notice.
A singer appearing for the first time
in this country and around whom the
public may be inclined to weave
a thread of romance and adventure, is
Remi Marsano, the Dusseldorf BARI
tone. Mr.. Marsano entered the Aus
trian nanny at the age Of sixteen and
spent twelve years in the service. He
has been singing in opera in Vienna,
Dusseldorf and London the last four

Unusual interest centers in the OPP
portunity to hear Verdfs brilliant
composition, the work of his mature
years, in which he has developed the
great episodes of Shakespeare's i'm
mortal tragedy in his most ambitious
harmonies. The opera of "Othello,"
originally produced in Milan, Italy, in
1887, has been in the repertoire of the
Metropolitan Opera company three
successive seasons in America, but at
no time did it awaken In this country
anything like the enthusiasm that fol-
lowed its first production in English
by Mr.. Savage this season.
The opera is in four acts, beginning
with the famous storm scene on the
Isle of Cyprus and closing with the
double tragedy of Desdemona and
Othello. Each act abounds in brilliant
solo and concerted numbers, the thrill
ing episodes in the drama being graph
ically portrayed in the Italian masters
score. : In the first act comes the beau
tiful Storm Music" that pictures the
terrifying battle of the wind and
waves, followed by the relieving calm
of a moonlight scene on the waters
and then portraying delight at the safe
arrival Of Othello and his army The
famous Campfire" number for the
chorus comes next, gradually melting
into the beautiful love duet between
the Moor and Desdemona.
The second act opens with the only
1nterpolated number in the opera This
is the powerful 'Credo" in which Iago
soliloquiZes in song on his diabolic ma
ture This act also contains the ia
nous Dream, Song" for Iago, where
he poisons Othello's confiding heart
