Grand Opera Full of Blood
and Thunder; 1t Is Vicious?

NEW YORK, Oct. 7.-(Special)--
We have all had our fling at the NOV
ing picture shows and most OF us
have rendered our verdicts.
But how about grand opera?
Probably you thought opera was un-
assailable and hawless. simply be
cause Il is patronixed by the upper
classes" and millions are lavished on
IL. But some people are finding fault
with opera now for just about the
same reason that we found fault with
the moving picture shows. Too
bloody.
Pail after pail of blood is spilled
nightly on the stage at the Metropoli-
tan.
Evening after evening narrowing
catastrophe. OF unalloyed representa-
tons OF almost every conceivable kind
OF grim and sordid death-this was
the history OF granG opera last season
AS operas are produced to suit the
public taste. does 1t follow that the
public drives composer, manager, sing
er and author TO produce these har-
rowing scenes?
Here are some or the operas or last
season and their outcome:
II Trovatore.--Hero executed; hero
inc takes poison.
La Traviata-Heroine dies OF con-
sumption.
Rigoletto.-HeroiDe murdered by
mistake. her father being responsible,
Othello.-Hero murders heroine. and
commits suicide.

Few people are so well situated In
life that they have nothing to pray
for. That Ia. few people have every
thing that they want.
But this woman TO all outward ap-
pcarances had about all that womans
heart Graves. She was young and
truly beautiful: she enjoyed good
mental and physical health; her hus-
band loved her and she loved her
husband: the man TO whom she was
married had wealth a-plenty and
divided equally with her: they lived
In a mansion in the city and had q
splendid residence In the country
Gowns. jewelry, friends. automobiles,
horses. the theater-all the beautiful
things OF the world were hers for the
naming
She was not a selfish woman; yet,
secluded in her room, she prayed:
will the Father begin by showing
me the error OF my ways? II I ask
too much will He teach me TO be
properly grateful for what already
have?
Above all. yiuu You, o Heavenly
Father. teach me how TO pray?
For months | have longer To ap-
proach You but did not know how to
do SO In the right spirit of humility.

And please believe me, Father,
when I tell You that l am not un-
grateful; and that I do realize that |

For my good health l thank Thee;
for my loving husband | thank Thee;
| thank Thee that l continue 10 love
my husband as l should, for he is a

She ceased to pray. For moment
she looked at a little picture she held
in her hand. Her eyes filed with
tears.

her face deep. in cushion on the

Douglas. in rejoinder, said:

reason that | did not suppose there

And again:
II wish you TO bear In mind that
this involves a great principle. upon
which our rights. our liberty. and our

His plea amounts 10 this--that he
