MUSICAL CRITICISM OF
THE GI0RDAN0 OPERA
BY FLORENCE BosARD LAWRENCE

While the dramatic feeling is up
permost throughout Fedora" the
work permits many musical passages
of great lOVeliness. 1t introduces also
some unusual features Notable among
these was the drawing room scene oc
the second act. Fedora and Ipanoff
enact the great scene of enticement
and avoWal of guilt not according to
Old-time operate views, with full ac-
compartment Of strings, brasses and
WOodWinds. but i'm far more realistic
manner to the accompaniment of a
piano solo, actually played by one Of
the guests at this evening reception.
The melodic construction of the solo
is such that while apparently COM
plete in itself, it blends and har-
monies with the voices of the two
characters in this impassioned scene.
The dynamiCs Of the selection are also
in keeping with the scene and mark
the rise and fall Of the protestations
and accusations of the singers, which
assume a musical no less than dra-
matte, form.
The opera has no choruses and few
concerted numbers. 1t is too entirely
musical and modern to make the
same popular appeal which the old
time Italian operas, with their simple
harmonic relations and commonplace,
Vet brilliant solos, continue to pre-
sent.
There are few showy solos, although
both IpanOff and Fedora have some
which are extremely beautiful espe-
cially in the duo scene in the second
act. Musical feeling Of the deepest
sorrow. yet filled with tenderness is
denoted i'm the duet beginning "Nedl,
10 piango, ma Sc plango."
In this number the singers We're
quite at their best and distinguished
themselves yocaNy While in no wise
sighting the dramatic possibilities OF
the number. They were enthusiastic
caIly applauded and responded to no
less than six curtain calls at the close
of the act
An effective bit is introduced in the
last act when Fedora is awaiting her
lover. Here little Savoy lad, at some
distance SINCE plaintiVejy of his
mountain sweetheart, the number
finally being interrupted by Fedora in
a devotional song of rare beauty. Lat
er. in the agony Of her death, the same
Savoyard is heard caroling his bu-
collie love song, while despair and re-
morse slowly depict themselves upon
the stage,
The opera is altogether the best
worth while Of anything which this
company has given us, and should
have a big attendance on Saturday

SECONDHAND AND JUNK
MEN GRANTED LICENSES
Police Commission Breaks Record for
Handing Out Permits to Do
Business

The police commission last night
granted eighty-two permits to dealers
in secondhand goods, ninety-four per
mits to junk collectors and ten per-
mits to junk dealers. This is the
largest number of permits any com
mission in Los Angeles has ever grant
ed at one sitting.
The large number was due to the
fact that the council has just passed
an ordinance requiring dealers in these
goods to have permits from the police
commission. This is necessary in order
to give the police supervision over this
class of business.
I. Silyerstein, 235 North Main street,
was refused a permit to conduct Il
second hand store. This action was
taken on the recommendation Of Chief
Dishman, who declared the applicant
had frequently been arrested and
prosecuted for violation of state and
city laws, and that he made all the
trouble for the police he could.

when it will be repeated with the same
excellent cast. Many opera lovers have
regretted the continued absence or any
of the so-called modern works in this
operatic engagement. They will now
find opportunity to enjoy one which
embodies all the charm of modern mu-
sic with sufficient melody to attract the
interest of all.
Arcangeli had a less grateful part
than that which is his usual allotment,
and Mile. Donner sang the role as
signed her with voice whose power
was frequently overshadowed by the
orchestra.
Sig. Merola conducted the orchestra
through the beautiful intermezzo IN
the second act with a rhythmic sense
and tonal coloring which brought out
all the charm of its construction and
delighted his audience with a repeti-
ton of the number in response to pro-
longed applause.
Madame Therry, whose dramatic
abilities have been discussed above
sang the role Of Fedora with con-
vincing finish that forced one to for
get the singer in the actress and the
actress in the woman herself Her voice
has the timbre which lends itself TO
the passionate, imploring music of the
part. and she used it last night
throughout the most intense dramatic
scenes with fine discernment and abun-
dant art.
Colombini. however, sacrificed his vo-
cal work several times, achieving fire.
ouent effects through his histrionic con-
ception of the part, although in the
several more effective musical passages
he rose TO a realization of the musical
qualities of his part in magnificent
manner.
Orchestrally. the opera is particularly
strong, and the accompaniment fire.
quentlv becomes practically tone
poem, a most welcome change from
the thin and rather vapid operate ac-
compartments which some older COM
poserS have given.

JAPANESE RESTAURANTS
GRANTED LIQUOR PERMITS
Chief Dishman Says Asiatics with
Licenses Inform on Proprietors
of Blind Pigs

Three more Japanese were granted
restaurant liquor permits by the police
commission last night. A number OF
Japanese have been given this privi-
lege In the past few weeks and Chief
Dishman declares it is a profitable IN
Yestment.
The chief says that through the ef-
forts of Japanese who have permits
he secured evidence against three ia
panese blind pigs last week and was
able to prosecute them solely through
the assistance of the japanese permit
holders Before the police commission
began granting these permits there
We're forty or fifty Japanese blind pigs
in the city. But the Japanese who
have to pay SIS a month for their per-
mits will not let others of their country
men sell liquor in competition with
them and are glad to aid the police in
securing evidence.

BY W. HERBERT BLAKE

F1 HE drama came into its own last
night at the Mason with "Fe-
IA dora" For the first time since
the beginning of the International COM
pany's present engagement We had mu-
sic keeping time to the march Of the
action rather than acting attuned and
subserVient to sheer melody. The re-
suit was Loris which was adequate
in detail and overmastering in impress
siVeneSs, however far in national quail
ity from the Russian ideal, 1t was an
Italian LOris whom tOlOmbini en-
bodied, but it was so human a lover,
so instinct with fire and Vigor, that
one remembered only as an after
thought that the Ipanov of drama and
opera was a SlaV and not a Latin.
For the rest, Colombini's grace and eX-
cellent enunciation and his accurate
facial depletion of the varied emo
tions of the role won him the deserved
plaudits Of the hosts of his fellow
cOuntrymen in the gallery, whose
"Vivas," Bis" and "Bravas' were al
most as dramatic as their favorite' s
acting.
Nine. Therrys Fedora lacked some OF
the paradoxical hauteur and passion of
the mysterious and fascinating Rus
sian, but had her soft and disarming
charm in opulent pleuitude. In the
swift fight of the action through Act
II she held the note of suspense which
is vital to the drama with remarkable
and almost irritating intensity She
was at her best in the tremendous eli
max of the last act, in which Fedora
tells her lover that she is responsible
for the death of his brother and re-
Veals also the depth of that love which
bade her sacrifice honor itself to save
the life of the man whom she had
plotted to destroy. The drama, the
,1,.fr, trI, 4f1l
quires the utmost employment of We
hemence and fambOyant passion here
to justify itself and these at the con-
clusion Therry depicted, acting with
excellent restraint and appeal in the
death scene and Visualizing for us the
effect of true and relentless tragedy.
Arcangeli was suave and correct as
De SirieX, but failed, l think to con-
vey quite the sardonic and mocking
note which is Inherent in the char
acter. Mile. DOnner embodied tho
Countess Olga with true appreciation
of that facile and volatile character.
1t is to be regretted that the delight
ful comedy of the musician detective
incident was omitted
Among several excellent minor i'm
personations hearty praise is due NJ
Gravina's Cirillo, in fine character and
sung with beautiful dramatic under
standing. The work Of the subordinate
members of the cast was, in almost
every instance, pleasing and well pro-
portioned to the general effect.
Fedora may never be a popular
opera, in the sense that Lucia" AMI
Carmen" are popular The real test
of it's dramatic merits to the appre-
citation of the vast majority Of play
goers must await its fitting and ade-
quate rendition in English, As dis
tinCtively Italian production, last
nights achieved the utmost. from the
artistic standpoint that could be de-
sired, and the Loris Of Colombini alone
will remain craven upon the memory
as one of the most coherent and lumin-
Gus of many able representations by the
present company of artists.
