little enough.
Why is it that the dreamer Of drea1ns who paints
pictures is so often handicapped by defects Of
technique? The Grass technician. deeply persuaded
that ideas are all nonsense and vanity, might well
think himself justified If he consulted only the
works Of some poetic designers. Looking at Mr.
Dav1es's pictures, recalls certain men with
whom he might claim kinship. the French Moreau.

His compositions constantly suggest true inventive

MUSIC
METROPOLITAN OPERA HOUSE.
First Performance of smetaua's "Bartered
Bride -

There at least good round dozen OF reasons
why the opera which had its first American nco-
duction at the Metropolitan Opera House last
night should be hailed with pleasure One is
offered by the inherent beauty of the opera itself
Another by the fascination exerted by its novel
local color in and music. Still another by the
satisfaction which it brings of long cherished
curiosity and historical interest. Still another by
the relief which 1t offers from the tragic tone
which has prevailed in the repertory of both our
opera houses since the season opened Twenty-th three
operas have been produced at the Metropolitan
Opera House thus far, and in all but four OF them
the final curtain has closed Of wretc he'd
ness and death: nineteen have been seen and heard
at Mr. Hammerstein's establishment, and only three
OF them have spared the audience pictures OF
misery and dissolution, moral and physical It is
