An educational clearing house is what some OF

"L TRovAToRE" AT the ACADEMY.

evening, brought forward another group OF Mr..

letto'' OF the opening night, free a good deal
OF vocal energy. II is characteristic not only OF
operatc performances at popular prices but OF
every form of inexpensive theatrical entertainment
activity for their own sake-to be deliberate or
restrained such occasions is defy every tradi-
ton. 1t is due TO those who took part in last
nights presentation. however, to note that there
was less rant and more significance in II Trova-
tore than there had been in 'Rigoletto'' Mon
day. Mr.. Fornari the conductor, was less violent
in his whppingin Of the orchestra and the chorus
took unfair advantages Of the chronic spirit OF
excitement that surges through this cUrousy vital
old score
As in "Rigoletto'' chief honors fell 20 the lot Of
the tenor Mr.. Samoilov. who Manrtco. is gift
with a robust voice Of heroic size and carrying
power. The tenor was OF picturesque aspect in
costume that would have adorned a Lohengrin, but
neither his singing acting showed a spark OF
personality. The Azucena OF Nine. Strauss was
competent and sincere and Mr. Zara. another new
conner. was a reasonably effective Count di Luna

said IN praise except that, like the others. she
entered heartily into her task Even popular priced
opera has its standards. Mr.. Abramson's produc-
