RADICAL FILIPINOS
DISLIKE INAUGURAL
Address of New Governor
General Forbes at Manila
DiSappointS Politicians.

MANILA, Nov. 24-The native news
papers are divided in their criticism
OF the inaugural address Of Governor
General Forbes this morning.
The address is generally fncorsed BY
the better element among the native
politicians. but the radicals take little
comfort from It. The new governor
general declared there would be no
change in the policy OF the United
states, that the American people in
tended 10 carry out the original program
for the Philippines. and that the Gov
eminent at Washington was not to be
cOerccd- The address was optimistic
in tone and prophesied great prosperity
and advancement for the people.

at Malacanan palace was one Of thu
most brilliant affairs ever given N

EMINENT ARTISTS

Walter DamroSch and ISa-

The assemblaEe which came toretber
to hear Walter Damrosch and his or

the history OF the theater.
Pages have been written OF Miss Dun

umns have been inspired by the work
Of Mr.. Damrosch in his full life as com
poser and conductor, but the coufuuc-
ton OF two artists, both in a dominant
sense creative geniUsss, surely marks
an epoch in the world Of sensuous ex-
preston.
Those who remembered the joint FER
Torrance last season and those who for
the first time sat under the speH OF the
artists, fell victims TO the mood OF the
moment and the usual restless hutter-

versation which usually accompanies

youth voiced BIZ the poets and depleted

the bewitching 'Silicienne" both the
musicians and dancer scored a triuulpll

OPERA PRODUCTION
IS NOTABLE EVENT
"Traviata" Marks Advent of
New Prima Donna in
Baltimore.

A small contingent Of Washington
ians boarded the opera special last e.en-
ing ber a1se the Duncan-Damrosch con-
cert here interfered, and a small audi
ence of Baltimorcans gathered at the
Lyric probably because Of the Duncan
Damrosch event there today. But
the small audience was brilliant and
TIE occasion was a notable one in this
seasons operauc calendar.
The opera was la Travlata" In which
have sung Patti. Tetrazini. and Sem
birch. ANY Of them would have been
hcnored by the reception given to Lydia
Lipl,owska, who made her debut before
a Baltimore-washingto audience. shar-
ing the triumph Of LipkOwska were Al
essandro Bonci and the conductor. Wiz
torio Podestl. VINO was also making his
first appearance.
Technique Remarkable.
The Rus Prima donna has attained
a wonderful technique. She gave evil
dence Of it in All, fors Iui' and all
through the closing act But it was
not the technique that made the handful
aIIer
the final curtain to demand repeated
encores. Violetta is essentially a dram
attic role and LipkowsEa sang it with
dramatic feeling She acted as well
as sang. she had the rare auaIitv of
giving 20 recitative passages the same
vocal expression an actress gives to her
lines. JUST a little of her success nav
have been due TO the fact that she sat
isfied the eye in looking the frau Vic
letta.
The one fault to be found with this
new star has to do with the dramatic.
rather than with the operate. feature
Of her Interpretation. She held too
closely to the traditions Of poise and
gesture that marked opera presenta-
lions twenty or more years ago. To the
younger school of singers opera-goers
are looking to sound a more natural
note such as has already pervaded the
drama and II IS a disappointment when
one so promising fails to indorse the
newer methods.
Bonci Wins Praise.
Though IN perfect voice, Il seemed
that Bonci tried to strain himself at
times. This fault was limited. how
ever, TO the earlier moments Of the plav
and IN the second act he regained the
naturalness and spOntaneity that has
marked his singing.
Because Of the attention paid to sing
ess not SO well known, Giuseppe Cam
panari may not gain the tributes he
won The second act was made as
notable as the other portions Of the
opera by his splendid singing.
The score Of ''Traviata" does not lend
itself to a wide range Of Interpretation,
so that Podesti won favor for himself
and for the fun Metropolitan orchestra

execution and perfection OF detail

Yale this afternoon successfully de-
Tended it's title as football champion
of the east, by defeating Harvard by
a score of 8 to 0. 1t was Captain Coy's
good right foot that won the game
for the Blue. It was a kicking game
throughout. Coy dropped two goals
from the thirty-five yard line and
Harvard on blocked kick was forced
to make safety behind its own goal
