BERTOZZI REPEATS
SUCCESS IN sOTELLO'
pEsDEMoNA RIVALS FAME OF
MIMI
signorlnI in Title Role, Though Not
Parola, Well Received--Arcan-
CELLS Voice and Acting
Superb

verdi's very difficult and beautiful
"otello' was presented in the Auditorium
last evening by the Milan grand opera
company and by good cast. Lima Ber-
tozzi, who proved her fine vocal and tenn
peramental powers as Mimi in La Bo-
heme," also won laurels in goodly pro-
portion in the role of Desdemona. Her
voice as usual was beautiful.
"Otello" was given to Chew. francesca
Signorini. He has not Parola voice. yet
1t Is good. His acting was In good
rhythm. Iago was admirably given by
Arcangeli. His acting is superb and his
facial expression is wonderful
Ollnto lombard as Lodovico was good,
but the part required little acting or
voice. We shall always remember him
as Mef1sto in Faust"
The other characters in the opera were
placed in capable hands. 1t is to be hoped
this excellent company will return to us
again in the near future and give us such
operas as La Tosca" and "Otello"
again, and Iris" La Forza del Des-
tino'' and other operas which are equally
heavy and those which are new to the
people of our city rather than so many
presentations of "Il Trovatore" and the
like-which. Of course, are always good
and tunesome and beautiful. But why not
hear and become equally familiar with
operas which heretofore have been sell
dom produced in this country? Let us
pack our Auditorium this week and pre-
pare our path for more granG opera next
season, as this is the only encouragement
our managers have to indorse their enter
prise.
This is the last week for this season Of
this fine company, and following is the list
of operas which will be given: This after
noon there will be matinee performance
of la Traviata." The cast will include
Nine. Adelina Padovani as Vio1etta Va
lere Angelo Parola will be cast as AL
ferdo Germont, and Alferdo's father,
Giorgio Germont, Is characterized In the
person of Alessandro Arcangeli. The more
minor roles are Flora Bervoix, Violetta's
friend, Baron Dauphol and CASTOR de
Letorieres.
Tonight will be revival also of the
ever grand LA Tosca," with beautiful
Ferrabini In the title role and two other
favorites of the company-Parola and
Arcongeli.
Thursday evening will be "Rigo1etto"
again in honor of Nm. Padovani as
Gilda. The cast includes also Arcangeli
as Rigoletto, Parola as II Duka the
duke, and gigantic Wulman as Spara-
fucile. Nine Padovani will sing 1.-THE
Pearl of Brazil by David. and '"The
valse Mireille" by Gounod between acts
three and four. She has q beautiful lyric
coloratura voice and takes the F above
high with the utmost ease.
Friday evening "Otello" will be repeated
with the same cast as last night.
Saturday evening will be jolly old Ros-
sinis opera, Barber of Seville" with
| cast well chosen.
| Saturday matinee will be Faust" The
singers will be the same as before-the
| most popular ones Of the company taking
the leading roles. and no one should fail
to see lombard as Mefistofele
| Thanks to Mr.. Berry for bringing such
a splendid company into our midst.

The following verses by the noted hum

press the situation of most of us. We
do not know the words of the old

often chagrined because they cannot sing
American songs owing to imperfect recol-

children the old songs and see that they
know words as we'll as tune:
I cannot sing the old songs.
Though well know the tune,
Familiar as @ cradle-song
With sleep-compelling Groom;
Yet though I'm filled with music.
AS choirs oe summer birds,
1T cannot sing the old songs
I do not know the words.
I start on Hail Columbia
And get to 'heav' n born band"
And there strike an upward grade,
With neither steam nor sand;
"Star-Spangled Banner" downs
Right in my widest screaming;
I start all right. but dumbly come
To voiceess wreck at streaming"
So, when I sing the old songs,
Don't murmur complain
II Iii, diddy ah da, tum dunn"
Should fill the sweetest strain.
I love 'Tolly um dunn di do"
