EASILY DEMONSTRATE
VERDI'S POPULARITY
BY Florence Bosard Lawrence

Verdi's popularity with the opera
going public was once more demon
strated when the curtain rose last
night on "Il Trovatore," showing a
house which was filled to the last rows
and enthusiastic to a marked degree
The familiar melodies never failed to
elicit delighted APPLAUSE and the singers
last night offered a rendition of these
which made them noteworthy. "Il
Trovatore' was given much better
production than that of the opening
bill, and both Adaberto and Scalabrini
had many admirers in the audience
waiting to offer the homage of a well
coming hand-clapping.
Nine. Ester Adaberto looked a very
beautiful Leonora, indeed, costumed
with brilliance as delightful as it
has been unprecedented in this com
pany, and sang the role with a mastery
of vocal and emotional requirements.
She achieved an undoubted triumph,
and the beauty of her stage presence,
her dignity and grace make her indeed
a delight to the eye, while her voice,
dramatic in power yet with the sweet
tones of the lyric singer, is under ex-
cellent control and responded with
satisfactory results to each fresh de-
mand made by the constant solos, duets
The brilliantly beautiful second act
gave Dolores Frau and Scalabrini as
Azucent and Manrico an opportunity
for distinction both vocally and dra-
matically. Madame Frau is far better
in this role and this scene than in any
other work she has done here. She
forgot the rather stilted dramatic ac-
ton which she usually allows herself,
and in the more impassioned passages
seemed fairly carried away from the
self-conscious attitude which threatens
occasionally to prove a distinct draw
back to her operate success. In the
role of the gypsy mother, however, this
fault is less noticeable and was scarcely
manifested at all last night in the early
scene of the second act. In the vocali-
zation of this part there was a more
decided reliance and finish than she
demonstrated in her work in the first
bill of the week.
Alessandro Scalabrini, we'll known
last year for the possession of a mag
nificent tenor voice. was in excellent
voice last night. He fairly reveled in
Los Angeles herald., 1910-02-23

the delightful numbers which fall TO
the part of Manrico, and his listeners
were charmed with the magnlhcent
delivery and the glorious quality OF ms
voice. OF wide range. powerful ana
well placed, Scalabrini promises to
maintain the favorable place he maze
for himself in the affection OF local
audiences last winter.
The ovation which followed his song,
"Oh, Night of Horror" was one OF the
most spontaneous demonstrations that
the house has ever held, and was a
well deserved tribute to artistry COM
pelling and delightful While he is not
dramatic in interpreting his songs, his
appearance is distinguished, he COM
ports himself with a manly simplicity
that is admirable and well deserves the
gratitude of those audiences too often
offended by the namby-pamby gyra-
tions of some stilted manilin of tenor
voice.
Maggi, whose success upon his first
appearance here in "Gioconda" was so
pronounced, repeated his admirable
work last night as the Count de
Luna. Despite the long difficult role
of the night previous his voice showed
the same freshness and power. He
very wisely refused the constant de-
n1anQS IOf eHcOI6S, IOW6Ntli anu III
many ways added materially to the
reputation for high artistry which he
established in his earlier work.
Other singers in the cast We're A:
Giana as Inez, A. Neri and A. Mori
in the parts of Ruiz and Fernando
The parts, though small. were given
careful consideration, and Mori espe-
cially was given much credit for the
rendition for his occasional musical ut
terances.
The individual and ensemble num-
bers were all delightfully."- sung, ana
orchestra and chorus acquitted them
selves in the same satisfactory man
ner which marked the opening bill.
Lebegott directed last night. His
penchant for climaxes in the instru-
ments occasionally caused the singers
some embarrassment. but generally
the support was satisfactory
The bill for the matinee today IS La
Gioconda," and tonight Lucia" Will
be sung with Tamanti Zavaslti as Lucia
and Giovanni Nadal as Edgardo.

ADDRESSES 25oo UNION MEN IN

Defends Himself Against Recent At
tack Made by lsadore Jaa
cobs, a San Francisco
Contractor

The labor unions of Los Angeles, as
sisted by delegation of labor leaders
from San Francisco, including Mayor
p. H. Mccarthy, dedicated their new
Labor Temple, 54S Maple avenue, last
evening with impressive ceremony.
About 2500 union men of the city and
their friends were present and for more
than three hours inspected the new
building, an interest in which many OF
them own, and listened to the addresses
of men high in union circles.
San Francisco's chief executive made
the dedicatory address. He spoke of
the months of effort on the part of local
unionists which the building had cost.
and bade all those present keep the
work going. He spoke of the temple as
being perhaps the greatest monument
to organized labor in the United States.
After the dedication the guests of
last evening enjoyed dancing and other
amusements in the different parts of
the building, and light refreshments
were served.
Before his speech Mayor Mccarthy
spoke of the accusations made against
him recently by Isadore Jacobs, con-
tractor of san Francisco.
THAT man has been slandering me
for several years past he said. Il
have up until now said nothing in an
swer to his vile insinuations against
my character. Recently, however, while
he was in the city of Napa he referred
to me as a common drunkard. / wrote
him letter, not denying his charge,
but simply telling him what thought
of a man who would make such a state
ment. In reply he took back and brand
ed as false everything he had said
about me. He is nothing politically in

of him or anything he can say than I
