Leo DeIibes' fasciI ating Indian opera
'Iakme,' received a beautifully ade-
uuate presentation last night at the
hands Of the French opera company. at
The Belasco, the principal roles being
carried by Nile. ROLAND, NJ. Nuibo, and
NJ. Cargne, with a perfection which en-
listed the spontaneous enthusiasm Of a
large audience.
The opera, which has never been given
in Washington. IS one Of this season s
New York revivals, brought forward
in the interest Of Tetrazinni.
The spirit of Delibes music is suave
and melOdiOus. though there is little
contrast In the theme.
Life In the Story.
There is light and life and laughter
and the subtle mystery Of the Orient in
the score and a gripping note OF tragic
intensity which brings 1t to a thrilling
climax. The story itself carried con-
victiOn and there is color and life a
plenty In it's progress. AS a medium for
the exploitation of the singing actor"
therefore, the opera mas much to COM
mend it.
In view of the fact that the scenic
and choral accessories of the French

gible quantity, the triumph Of the prin-
Cipals who held their audience in thrail
is so much more deserved.
