New York, last season in French. the
result was immediate success, for its
reception was one of the most enthusiast
tic of any offering to grand opera patrons
in many years. The same result attended
its first American presentation in Eng
lish a little later by the A'ioiu English
Grand Opera Company. Reading between
the lines OF the librettO, there is an
aliegorical conceit presented. embracing
three central hgures-a young, sentimen-
tai poet; his affinity or soulmate, who
appears in various women who come into
and pass out Of his life and his evil
spirit, who appears in various characters
in time TO spoil the love affairs OF the
poet until no renounces all women and
courts the poetic Muse alone. The tell
ing of the story embraces many phases,
from the weird and supernatural. the
romantic and highly dramatic, 10 the light
and farcial and pantomimic comedy, and
its four acts demand elaborate pictorial
presentation. for the fulfllment OF which
Messrs. AbOrn made a spectacular mount
ing of scenery and costumes. with unique
effects, for the New York presentation.
This entire equipment will be brought TO
the New National for the approaching
week in "Hofmanns Love Tales, as
will also the entire original New York

best material America affords in the line
Of English grand opera artists. Many of
these have already appeared in the casts
OF the AbOrn Opera Company here, in
Guiding Henri Barron, FritZie Won Busing,
Henry Vogel. Sol Solomon, Miriam Nor
