'RAFFAEL0' GONE AGAIN
Composer Says Score Has at
Least Shrunk.
ENTERED IT IN CONTEST
Was Stolen and Recovered, but
Didn't Win the Metropol.
itan's Prize.

The disappearing opera scores or at least
= portion Of one Of them. have disappeared
again. Strange to say. the latest disap-
pearance has to do with "Ranaelo." the
very score that with its fellow. "Chioscuro."
disappeared so mysteriously last December
from an express wagon while on it's way
from Walter Damrosch to George w. Chad
wick.
And now in spite Of the fact that the con
test Instituted by the Metropolitan Opera
Company has been decided and the slo0 900
prize awarded "Raffaelo' again hobs up
and Albert Mildenbers Is made once more
most unhappy.
For Mr.. Mildenberg wrote "Rafaelo."
and last Friday. when the Metropolitan
management returned the scores that did
not win the prize. IL also returned Raj
faelo." But this is not why Mr. Miden-
berg is unhappy. He is unhappy because
he does not believe he would recognize
"Raffaelo." He sent forth a large package
and II has come back to him wofully
shrunken i'm size When II arrived at his
home he refused 20 receive It from the ex-
press company, as he believes a large por-
tion Of il has been stolen. lie has sent II
back to the Metropolitan. and to-day. pre-
cisely at noon, the package will be opened
at the opera house and il will be deter
mined whether or not a part of 1t has van
ished during its many pigrimages.
Mr.. Mldenberg thinks that the thief who
stole it in December from the express
wagon distracted a portion Of its contents
before returning it to the man who brought
II TO the police station. This man, it will
he remembered. was arrested, but never in
dicted Paul u. Crayath. counsel for the
Metropolitan opera Company. said last
night that even If Mr.. Mdenbergs opera
was found 10 he intact, II would not affect
the award of the $4,000 prize to Horatio
Parker and Brian Hooker
when the Metropolitan returned me
the score on Friday the package was only
one third the size of the one had orig
inally sent said MIR. NIldenberg 10 a
Tribune reporter last night II refused
10 sign for IL without being allowed IN
examine II, and as the express company
would not permit this I had II sent back
IN the Metropolitan " will be opened at
the opera house tomorrow, but feel sure
that a great deal Of II will be found miss
ing ] think portion Of il must have
been distracted by the man who stole II
from the express wagon last December.
Ar the time I wished 70 examine il 10

was told that II was in excellent condi
ton"
Nv Mildenbergs epera scores appear 70
he subject IN q peculiar fate. Several
wears ago ~ was widely announced IN the
newspapers that he had had an opera ac-
cepted by several European theatres.
Then Mr.. Mildenberg and his opera took
passage on the Slavonia. The Slavonia
was wrecked on the Scilly Islands. Mr..
Mildenberg was saved but his opera was
irrevocallv lost Whether or not Raj

termined when its wrappings are removed
to-day az the Metropolitan Opera House.

BUOU THEATRE
1.-THE Clouds" by Jaroslav
KvapiI, Is Presented.

Two of the FIVE characters in "The
Clouds" which the police would not allow
Julius Hopp TO present at the Lyceum
Theatre on Sunday night. May I. are priests
or al least one of them was priest and
the other was within year of taking holy
orders. There may have been officers pres
ent at the Bijou Theatre last night when
the play was finally given hearing, but
they did not interfere with the perform
ance. Perhaps some folk wished that they
had.
The Clouds IS a drama by Jaroslav
Kvapil, Bohemian.
II was translated into English by Charles
Recht and was prepared for the stage by
Charles Swickard 1t has been advertised
as an intellectual a"-probably 1t is
or was meant TO be. In it the author voices
a protest against the recruiting OF the
clergy in Bohemia from young men, whose
fathers and mothers are too poor TO send
them TO the university. and therefore de-
eide that they shall become priests. That
NAV be the situation in Bohemia, but 1t Is
not here.
But there is a larger and more universal
interest in the dramatic temptation OF
Andreas Kocian Harry L. Fraser TO give
I'D the priesthood To marry girl whom
he knew and PLAYED with when she was a
little girl. She returns after years of alb
sence and awakens him TO a desire for
Intellectual freedom The young man
makes up his mind to renounce his de-
cision to take holy orders, but I'm view
Of his mothers grief and the girls wishes
he decides to continue with his theological
studies.
The plav was sufficiently we'll acted n
hold the interest through the greater part
Of the acts. But after the play was over
one wondered how the feat was accom-
pished The best work was done hy Miss
Sara Biala. who played the part Of Maria
Zeman. an actress. She appears to have
dramatic intelligence and a good stage
presence. and she speaks far more clearly
than most of our native actresses.
John Maurice Sullivan was a realistic vii
lage priest. Miss Laura Linden was sue
cessful in the part OF fearful mother. J..
Rogers Lytton did a good bit as ply
stefan. Harry L. Fraser had stupid, I'M
sympathetic, improbable part, with which
he did the hest that he could. 1t could
have been acted much better, however. II
every part had been played as his was the
drama would have been classified as one Of
the broa der varieties Of comedy.
