M. SOUBEYRAN TO LEAVE US.
He and COnried Agree That He Is Not
Suitable for the MetrOpOlItan.

Fernand Soubcyran, the French tenor
and pupil Of Jean de Reszke, who sang
Romeo at the first popular Saturday per-
torrance at the Metropolitan Opera House,
will not appear again during the season.
IL is probable. indeed, that NJ. Soubeyran will
soon return to Paris. He and Mr.. Conried
have both concluded that he IL not for the
stage Of the Metropolitan. NJ. S~oubeyran
is ~reconciled to the decision of the manage
ment, but thinks he should have been put
forward in a less exacting role than Romeo.
Nj. S~oubeyran is now added to a con-
siderable list of singers who have made
n appearance at the Metropolitan and
then disappeared. Last year it vas Signor
Bue-Reezhy, the barytone who was heard
but once. Emil G~erhacuser, who sang in
-~TannhAuser"; Pierre Cornubert, who came
from Havana to appear in -L'Africaine'; NJ.
Oulllier, who once sang in Faust; Signor
de Novelli, who ang on one evening and
sailed the next afternoon for France, and
Imbart de la Tour, who appeared once
and then returned to Brussels-these are
the predecessors OF NJ. S~oubeyran in the
company OF singers who soon learned that
the Metropolitan was not the place for them.
Mr.. Conried will present his last prima

GADSKI TO SING IN OPERA.
Engaged by MIR. COnried TO Take the Place
Vacated by Nine. Ternlna.

Nine. Johanna Gadski is TO return to the
Metropolitan Opera House. Negotiations
which have for a short time beer pending
between her and Director Conried were
concluded yesterday and she was engaged
as a member Of the Metropolitan company
She will complete her song recital tour in a
few Gays, but will not join the opera forces
till the first week in February.
Nine. Gadski will sing the Rrdnnhildes
Isolie and other W~agnerian roles which
were to ave been taken by Nine. Ternina.
The latter was engaged last summer, when
she was in excellent voice. But about two
weeks g it was learned by Mr.. Conried
that her physical condition had again be-
come impaired and that she would be I'M
able TO fulfil her contract.
IL was reported that the director was
~endeavoring 10 reengage Nine. Nordioa,
as 1t was essential to his plans for the season
that he should have a strong dramatic
soprano. Nine Gadski was a member Of
the company in the first season of Mr..
Conried's management, but owing to some
friction was not reengaged. The differ
ences between them havenow been smoothed
over, and Nine. Gadski will assume the
roles which it was formerly expected she
would sing. She will doubtless be heard
outside he Wagnerian list, as she sings
several parts in Italian and French.

z. n. DE GYONGYOSHALAszY.
Just q simple Little Pianist with . Hyp-
MOTTO Eye.

bVNS y
Zoltani It's a fatal name. Il has been
heard before. But never has it hitched
its wagon to a star. This time it has. The
star is Gyongyoshalaszy. Speak it softly.
Gyongyoshalaszy will start a spirit as
soon as Zoltan. What should not the two
together do2 But that is not all. Another
name stands between them. Takach.
Then the legend run thus-Zoltan de
Takach Gyongyoshalaszy. Could this title
prelude the advent of anything less than
q pianist q?
The press agent has written that name
high in the hall OF fame and has added that
its owne is also the proud possessor Of
a title and a hypnotic eye. The press agent
boasts that the name is unpronounceable.
This is false. All you have to do is to write

All this played the piano yesterday after
moor in Mend elssohn Hall. Let US speak
gently Of him q call him only Pan Zol-
tan, For he 10 a Hungarian. Pan Zoltan
has a long, involved and beautiful history,
which tells how he came OF noble family.
which was horrorstruck at the thought of
his performing on the stage like an ordinery
comedian.
How glad that noble family must b. now
TO know that he does not perform like an
ordinary comedian. He performs like a
most extraordinary pianist. His is a unique
talent, all his own. His recital yesterday
disclosed him as an utterly original inter
prefer OF Handel, Mozart, Grieg, Sgambati
and one or two others with pitiably common
place names. He also launched upon the
world four compositions Of his own.
In these Pan Zoltan showed originality
Of a different sort. He demonstrated
that his boldness OF conception consisted
in not being afraid TO write like the cele-
brated H. A. Wollenhaupt or the equally
famous Sidney Smith. But enough. Pan
Zoltan smote the piano nightly and all
the people wondered. He has a mighty
wrist, and also far-darting fingers. When
he ran double barrelled scales with the
hampers raised the piano was all in.

MME. GADSKPS RECITAL.
The Distinguished wagnerian soprano as
q song singer.

q song singer.
Nine. Johanna Gadski gave a song recital
yesterday afternoon in Carnegie Hall.
Her programme was a great improvement
over the one she presented last season.
Il had more coherency and it sustained a
higher level Of artistic value This in itself
made the entertainment more interesting
than Nine. Gadski's first essay here in the
field Of the recital. The first group on her
list comprised three songs by Schumann,
one by Beethoven, one by Franz and two by
Schubert. all Of which were composed to
English texts. OF the seven songs that
which pleased the audience most was
Schubert's who Is Sylvan" In this the
audience showed its discernment. for while
the familiarity Of the song may have had
its influence, nevertheless il was the one
which MINNIE. Gadski sang the best.
The second group consisted of songs
accompanist, Frank La Forge, was repre-
sented in this part by two songs, and Au-
gusta Zuckerman, a young American pi-
anist now playing in Germany, by another.
Mr.. Macpowell's "A Maid Sings Light"
and Mrs. Beach's June" we're also in this
part. Mrs. Beach had a field day, for when
recalled Nine. Gadski gave the Boston
woman's The Years at the Spring" as an
encore number and the audience made
her sing it three times.
The third group began with n very good
song by August Spanuth. who used 10 be
music critic OF the Stddts Zsifung but is
now teaching in Berlin, and had numbers
BY Grieg, Strauss and Hugo Wolf. Nine.
