For Madam Butterfly" at the Belaseo
Thester this week. the opera. the cast.
the orchestra. and the production are
worthy Of the generous support OF
Washington
Madam Butterfly was seen in THIS city
two years ago. when it was offered by
the Savage Company. It was then almost
fresh from the hands Of the composer,
Puccini- The play on which the opera
is founded had been seen before the
musical version and had been recognized
as one ofNthe most beautiful and tragic
works OF its scope ever offered. Doubt
less thu success and popularity Of the
drama has something TO do with the
ability OF managers TO perform The un-
usual feat OF playing grand opera en-
gagements OF usual length without a
change Of bill
Puccini has made such a beautiful
score and has followed The drama 80
faithfully that this might have been DOS
sioie efen if the work had never been
produced in dramatic form. The music
Is a remarkable combination OF music
drama, and lyric scoring. In its con.

justice to the Instrumentation.
Adelaide Norwood. who sings the titla
role, IS an artist Of interesting powers

prano Of fine equipment. and yet she
adapts herself nicely to the lighter mu-

oughly satisfying singer is Henry Tay-
ior. the tenor. who has the part Of
Lieut. PlnkertOn- Mr. Taylor has an ex-
cellent voice, pure and true. and strong
enough for the role OF lieutenant, and
he makes a most agreeable appearance

OF especial merit IS Ottley Cranston.
