FREMSTAD SINGS ISOLDE
Great Audience Hears Wagner's
Work at the Metropolitan.

Mr.. Gatti-Casazza must have found
annie vindication of his Wagnerian sympa-
tbies in the size OF the audience that gath
cred at the Metropolitan Opera House yes
terday afternoon at the second perform
ance of Tristan und Isolde" In size II
was an audience that Caruso night alone
could equal: in understanding, one that
Caruso might wish for In vain. Moreover,
It was an audience that received upon the
stage and In the orchestra pit an offering
such as few audiences might hope to re-
ceive. II the spirit Of Richard Wagner had
been permitted to walk abroad yesterday
afternoon between the hours OF and 6. IT
would have found that all things were very
good.
First and foremost, there was upon the
stage a woman who was every inch prin-
cess, and who, despite her frailty, even an
Irish audience would have been proud to
claim their own. Nine. Fremstad's Isolde
Is now an impersonation that for sheer
loyeiine ss-lovelines Of feature. of figure.
Of bearing, OF expression-above all, for the
loveliness that is from within, that is the
Towering Of the woman's soul, is quite un-
forgettable. Splendid as she was in the
rrSt act IN neT AWAKENING, tne tragic queen
suddenly becoming the loving woman. her
full power showed itself supreme in the love
duet. Here, surely. in passion. In self-for-
getfulness. In plastic beauty, her portrayal
is one that the American stage has never
seen surpassed.
Happier, too, was she than at her sea-
sons first appearance as the Irish princess,
In that Mr.. Burrian's Tristan was yester-
day at its best. The tenor's voice was clear
and powerful, and he phrased with fine
feeling.
New to the cast was the King Mark Of
Putnam Griswold. whose resonant voice
and clear enuncation were delight, while
Nine. Matzenauer's brangaene and Mr.
Wells Kurwenal repeated their former ex-
celent impressions. Mr.. Murphy's sweet
voice was heard effectively as the Steers
man and as the Hirt.
AS for Mr.. Toscanini's direction Of the

DONNA IN LONDON
Triumph for Mrs. Campbell and
Sir George Alexander.
IBy Cable 70 TIL. Tribunal

London, Dec 9.-"Bella Donna" made
a powerful impression when produced to-
night at the st. Jamess Theatre before
a brilliant audience. Robert Hichens's
story, as skilfully dramatized by J. q.
Fagan. was splendidly staged. so that
spectators could easily imagine they
were In Cairo or Luxor and hearing the
musical muezzin from the minarets, yet
IL was not a panorama, but an intense
drama. that held them breathless.
What really mattered was the strus-
gle between an infatuated wife. bent
upon poisoning her amiable husband, and
resourceful doctor, even more deter
mined to battle the would-be murderess
and save the life OF his benefactor
Mrs. Armine might be a composite
character not drawn from life, but Mrs.
Patrick Campbell impaired her own fas-
cinating personality to her and made
her plausible enough, especially when
there was a truly Oriental Barondi TO
dominate her with his Arab-like COM
posure. 1t was a subtle and strong I'M
perscnation, revealing the actresses
charm and power.
Sir George Alexander made Dr. Isaac
son a noble type Of Jew, grateful Tor
kindness, broadminded In taste and cult
ure. brilliantly clever in unravelling the
intricate plot and magnanimous In his
triumph. The scenes between the wife
and the doctor were wonderfully played,
and there was effective support from
Charles Maude as the husband and
Charles Bryant as BarondL
There were eight recalls after Isaac
son had heard the guilty wife blurt out
her guilt in her sleep on the deck OF the
Nile yacht. and there was no effect OF
anti-clmax in the fifth act when the
wife, repulsed by her lover and aoan-
doned by her husband, crept silently
away for a solitary death in the desert
The reception OF the play was most
enthusiastic at every stage. and espe-
cially after the fourth and fifth acts.
Mrs. Campbell was marvellously ar
raved in seven sumptuous costumes.
