"LAKME" IS SUNG.
Delibes' Beautiful East-Indian Opera
Given for First Time.

Delibes' Beautiful East-Indian Opera
Given for First Time.
The bill for the second night of the
French Opera Company was 'TAkme," it
being probably the first time that this
opera has been heard in Washington
certainly the first time in the memory
| of the present generation OF theater-
goers. And the belated production OF this
work of Leo Dellbes led the audience to
wonder why it had never been given be-
fore. for there are numerous passages Of
| great beauty. and the music. while not
as heavy as some Of the other and better
known works. was rich with melody and
vibrant with feeling
The story OF the opera concerns an
| English army officer who falls in love
with the daughter OF one Of the prince
priests of india during the occupation Of
that country by the English prior TO the
Sepoy rebellion. Her father. being jeal-
Gus of his love for Lakme, stabs him
and leaves him for dead. But the princess
discovers him and takes him to place
in the forest, where she nurses him back
to life. Just as she is going to COM
plete the cure, he hears the sound of the
fife and drums OF his regiment marching
north to subdue the Hindoos, and he
leaves Lakme to return 10 his duty.
When she sees herself deserted she eats
leaf of a poisonous plant and dies in
his arms after he has come back TO her
The role OF Lakme was sung by Mile.
ROLAND. the premiere soprano OF the
company. and the enthusiastic applause
and numerous recalls she earned were as
great as on her first appearance in this
city. Mile. ROLAND is possessed OF
beautiful voice OF great color, depth, and
fullness. While she seldom attempted the
more snowy feats Of singing, her rendl-
ton Of the famous Indian Bell Song
In the second act showed that she was
capable OF them. At the end of this
beautiful number-really the gem of a
large number of exquisite selections-she
was recalled time and again TO receive
applause and TO bow her thanks. But
it was not by her voice only that she
captivated the audience. Her acting was
superb; and that alone would have been
sufficient to stamp her as an artist of
the highest rank. In her duets with
Gerald, in the trios with Gerald and her
father. and particularly in the last act,
after she has eaten of the plant, her
acting was really remarkable. when Il
is remembered that she was laboring un-
der the strain of singing at the same
time
NJ Nuibo, the possessor of a tenor
voice above the ordinary, was the Ger
aid, and his work throughout the even
ing was consistently good-especiaTly in
the Jewel song in the first act, and in
his duets with LAkme, where he showed
the range Of his voice to the best advan-
tage.
The remainder of the cast rendered
their parts excellently. and particular
praise is due to NJ. Cargue, the barytone.
for MS work In The part OF Nilakantha-
the father of Lakme. The work that he had
to do was noticeable, not by the amount
Of it. but rather by its sustained quality
The performance, as a whole. was an ex-
ceedingly well-balanced one-the princi-
pals, the chorus, and the orchestra com
hining to make pleasant production Of
this too little heard opera.

MADE A PERSONAL APPEAL
SuPPIanted Laundress Successful In
Effort to Retain Patronage Of
Duke of the Abruzzi.

AT Salsomaggiore, says a writer in
McClure's, there was a laundress who
had always enjoyed the patronage of
the Duke of the Abruzzi whenever he
came there to take the cure on his re-
turn from one Of his expeditions. Ths
duke OF course knew nothing about
this matter, which was attended to
by his chauffeur-valet. Now, for some
reason, OF which l am ignorant, the
servant had taken q notion to change
laundresses; hence great humiliation
on the part of the good little woman,
who naturally priced her celebrated
patron. What was she to do? She
wanted to get an explanation of the
matter, at any rate; 80 one day she
placed herself on the road where the
duke was to pass. When he came I'D
she said to him: "Your highness is no
longer satisfied with your former
laundress?" who said so?" "Why,
your highness no longer sends me his
linen and / am very unhappy about
It," my poor child" exclaimed the
prince, II knew nothing about f.!
Come with me and we will settle the
matter out of hand" The duke Or
dcred his chauffeur to send his linen
to his usual laundress in the future
and when she narrated this incident
to me (for I was also one of her pa.
trons) she added enthusiastically:
"And he isn't bit proud, is our duke.
for he is the first man who ever lifted
his hat to me-"
