MUSIC
"Madama Butterfly Draws
typical Matinee Audience.

typical matinee opera brought out a
typical matinee audience yesterday AFTER
noon at the Metropolitan Opera House All
the sweet young things were there The
seats were full Of them. the aIsles were
full of them. IN the entr'actes the ice
cream tables in the grand tier foyer couldn {
be seen because OF the flrny haze OF sweet
young things. OF course they were all "a
dainty happy and why shouldn't they be?
Were not they listening to the sweetest
prima donna in matinee land crying her
dear little heart out in a cherry boss On
Japan that was only the sweeter TO them
for being so utterly impossible?
Yes. II was Puccinis Madame Butterfly.
and Miss Geraldine Farrar was Cio-Cio-
San Miss Farrar was IN excellent voice,
apparently in much better voice than she
has been for several seasons. Her tones
were delightfully."- pure and her voice had
ample power Best Of all, she did not force
il. Yet we do not know Miss FarTar by
he- voice Rather we know her because
she is Miss Farrar. because OF her winsome
grace her coquetry. her charn1-yes. her
brains.
When Miss Farrar decided to be born
amid the shades of the Puritans she did
not intend to deprive herself Of the one
virtue which no one has ever denied 20
those stern faced folk. Wisely she adopted
their brains, equally wisely she forgot 10
adopt their stern faces. And the brains
she always uses.
She used them yesterday afternoon There
were several changes from previous seasons
in her depletion of Cio-Cio-San's fantastic
little soul. In the finale Of the first act she
gave an exquisite bit of acting, a bit but
that for the grace and poetry with which
she suffused It might have become start
lingly realistic But Miss Farrar carried It
through triumphantly. The sweet young
things in the audience surely had no cause
10 think otherwise than that little Cio-Cto-
san was the dearest little japanese wife
on earth.
The part OF Pinkerton fell, as it usually
does nowadays 10 Ricardo Martin Mr.
Martin never was in better voice. and he
seems TO be gaining fiuency and an ease
in his singing that he has not always pos
sessed. His tones were always pure. and
at times he sang with true feeling.
There was a new Suzuki in Miss Marie
hatfield, who gave an entirely adequate
performance Mr. Scott as Sharpless was
excellent, as always
Mr. TosCanini conducted as perhaps only
he can conduct At the end Of the first
act after the principals had received re-
peated curtain calls Miss Farrar dragged
Mr. Puccini himself before the curtain The
applause was thunderous, but the composer
contented himself with bowling
The cast was as follows:

Correspondent: Home ass; sunset 1881.

LONG BEACH, Sept. 23.-Harold F.

arrested in Los Angeles last night by
Detective Holmes, was held to answer
to the superior court on a charge of
passing a bogus check for SIS on E. G..
Chaffee, proprietor of the B. & r.

The evidence showed that Gray, who
is 26 years old and whose home is in

money in the bank. He engaged a
large touring car from c. A. Bennett,
an automobile man of that city. Ben
nett was to drive Gray on an extend

fee testified that Gray bought gas
oline at his garage, giving him $15
check The value of the gasoline was
1925, and Chaffee gave Gray $12.75 in
cash. The check was drawn on the
Farmers and Merchants bank of
Santa Ana.
When the tour was ended Benefits
bill, including amounts he had ad-
vanced when Gray's checks were re-
fused, was $175. This, 1t is said, Gray
paid with another check. The total
number of alleged bogus checks he is
sued were for about $400, 1t is said.
Los Angeles, Santa Ana and San
Francisco banks were named in them.
H. T. Rutherford, assistant cashier
of the Farmers and Merchants bank
of Santa Ana, was a witness this
morning. According to the arresting
detective, Gray has stated that he is
guilty and that he had "big time" at
the expense of others."
