The San Francisco call., 1906-12-26
By James Crawford

San Francisco has frequently and
with cheerfulness paid 81 a seat for
worse opera than the 81 article pre-
sented by the Lambardi company last
evening in the Central Theater.
Aida" was the offering and in few.
II any, details OF production was it in
ferior to that given by sir. Grau's
people several years ago on Mission
street, when Eames sang the title role.
Some of the higher-priced principals
may have possessed more purely vocal
value than was shown by the folk who
sang the same roles last night, but
whatever defects the latter displayed
in that respect were amply compen-
sated for by their superior dramatic
worth For acting as well as singing
is essential to operatic artistry.
Most surprising Of all. however, was
the pictorial equipment Of the Lam
bardis. Untrue to the tradition of their
ilk and contrary to common report
and expectation, they staged Aida"
with a wealth of scenery and cos
tumery that the Grau production did
not excel, and hardly less startling was
chorus. 1t actually had q liberal
sprinkling of youth and good looks.
The orchestra. big and inadeouately
trained. was the least satisfying de-
tail. Good management was reflected
in the stage groupings. The great
ensemble finale of the second act was
a mass of gorgeous colors artisticaIly
arranged and volume of sound both
mighty and entirely harmonious. In
the blending and balance OF the voices
there was a distinct charm which an
orchestra weak in strings could not
blemish- While the principals showed

deny it.

STRANGERS SLhY
HOST At FEAST

A Christmas feast at the home of
Victor Sbragio, an Italian living at
22o7 Seventeenth avenue, South San
Francisco, was brought to az tragic
end last evening when the host was
shot through the head and fatally
wounded by one of two unknown men,
who had burst into the dining room
The motive for the murderous visit
cannot be explained. nor is there any
clew to the Identity of the men.
During the progress of the supper,
while one of the guests was playing on
an accordion. the door suddenly opened
and the two strangers entered When
asked what they wanted one of them
laid claim to the musical instrument,
declaring that it belonged to him.
Sbragio ordered the intruders to
leave the house and was walking with
them to the door when they both at
tackled him and knocked him down.
Before the guests could rush to their
hosts assistance one of the pair drew
a revolver and shot Sbragio through
the head as he lay on the floor
The murderers then backed out of
the door and disappeared in the dark
ness.
The wounded man was carried with
all haste to the Office of a physician
and from there he was taken to the
ST. Thomas Hospital. but as the bullet
had entered above the right ear
and torn through the head, coming out
through the left cheek, it was apparent
at once that his life could not be saved
The doctors said that death was but
matter of few hours
Sbragio has a family living at the
place where the shooting occurred. He
has been employed for some time at
the Union Iron Works.

ADABERTo sUsTAINs REPORTS

ADABERTo SUSTAIyS REPORTS
Signorina Adaberto, in the name role,
more than made good all the fatter-
ing reports that heralded her advent.
Her voice is a dramatic soprano that
sustains a velvet-like smoothness
throughout the range, it's dominant
qualities being a richness and fulness
of timbre, and a clear, bell-like intone-
tion that conveys her lowest notes to
farthest recesses of the Central The
ater-and that means more to those
who have sat in the spacious structure
than It conveys to those for whom that
pleasure is in store. Great as her
voice, however, is the tempera-
mental fire and tenderness with which
she fmbues il at will. This facility of
expression was marked in her duet
asro and IN her third-act scenes
with Radames. If she could not sing
at all she would be superb actress.
With splendidly trained voice COM
bining such rare gifts of range and
quality, she is great artist
Matilde Campihore, who sang AM
neris, is also blessed with abundance of
dramatic instinct, although she gave it
too free rein in several of her scenes.
Her voice is contralto of remarkable
roundness and beauty in the lower
loftier expression. She is a handsome
woman to boot.
OF the male contingent. the primal
vocal honors for vocalism were, Of

given to vibrato. in the upper scale.
Physically, he is handicapped for such
ra1a a. Of war ri w 1okyed
a slave and was beloved by PRINCESS,
for his embonpoint is pronounced.
A good honest basso is Signor Lam
hardi, meeting the scores most trying
exactions without falter or evasion.
ANTOLA SINGER AND ACTOR
Signor Antola's barytone is somewhat
remindful of Campanari's. both in quail
ity and execution, and he, too, is an
actor In every fiber. His playing of
Amonasro was no less interesting than
his singing of the lines. There was a
world of expression in his every ges-
ture.
Considering that the night was
Christmas and a rainstorm raging, the
audience was surprisingly large nu-
merically and boisterously demonstra-
tive in bestowal of its approval. But
il was not exactly akin to the out
pouring of the Latin Quarter that
marked Italian opera first nights in
the old days. While the Sunny King
dom's children were everywhere in evil
dence. the boxes and the 50 seats con-
tanned many music patrons of other
than Italian birth or ancestry-the folk
who helped to pack the Tivoli on Tet-
razzini nights, and crowded the still
older Tivoli when Collamarini sang
Carmen. And the treat given them as
