Linked Together They Offer
Production of Virile
Attractiveness.
UNUSUAL TASK FOR
COMPOSER OF SCORE
Original Melodrama Of the West
Put in Song With Little
Lyric Change.

Savage, Puccini. Belasco-these are
magic names, as attested by the success
that has attended their various produc-
lions, but when these three names are
linked, as they are In ''The Girl Of the
Golden West" certainly there need be
no fear of what they have to offer. Mr..
Savage always has done much for
opera In English. vocally and pictor-
ially. Puccini's name, In itself, Is one
that promises much when one recalls
his La Boheme," LA Tosca." MA
dame Butterfly" and now this new
American-made opera, "The Girl Of
the Golden West" As for Belasco
Washington knows him SO well and
favorably that further mention Of his
triumphs would be superlative.
An audience in every way commen-
surate with the general interest awak-
ened In the making into an opera Of
DAVID navid BeIascos now celebrated play,
last evening in the Belasco Theater
Many widely divergent opinions have
been expressed as to the musical value
or this latest OF Puccini's operas. The
composer undertook an unusual task
when he essayed to make an opera
from the play. as the plot and action of
The Girl OF the Golden West" call for
different treatment than the usual
operatic Hbretto. Melodies suave and
even, ike those In Lucia, for instance,
scarcely express such scenes as those
depicted IN a Western play.
Many Novel Results, Though
Ideas Are Not Concluded.
In his effort to heighten the effects
of the author. Puccini has achieved
many novel results. The most notice
able thing about the score seems on
first hearing to be its fragmentary and
somewhat detached character. Ideas
are not developed to satisfying con-
clusion and the lyrical episodes are
lacking in sustained style. There are
exceptions. however. which occur in the
love scenes between Minnie and John
elsewhere in the opera
While this opera is less melodic than
Madame Butterfly" the employment
Of novel chords of sharp dissona nee

toned scale are reminiscent OF the new
school of dramatic music. of which
DeBussy is the chief exponent
1T is In the orch sstration of The opera

tuated, and scarcely an emotion is
suggested on the stage that does not

 Uncertainty about the Supreme Court and railroad decisions at Wash ington still acts as a damper iE bus mess circles. It is to be hoped that this element of doubt will be removed as soon as practicable. The issues in- vOlved are Of supreme importance, for they affect not only the machinery of our great industrial corporations. but also the adjustment of some of the most vital political and economic issues of the day. Nothing worse than reorganization can be expected con- ceniDg the industrials. The Supreme Court cannot and will not destroy actual property, and should the de eisions prove entirely adverse, it is safe to say that the country win quick ly recover from the shock and go on as placidly as before.
 The speculative situatdda shows decided improvement While there are no very brilliant elements in the sit uation, still all known drawbacks have been well discounted, and the general outlook is not without its encouraging features. In fact there is an uEdertone of confidence not at oil discernible a month ago Local bank CTS show a decided change of frint and are much more confident.

This circus is now supreme in size
and strength. It has gathered togeth-
er the best talent of the worlds aren.
as, with careful regard for what is
sensational and novel. In all the his
tory of the show business not one act
compare with that of the Ty-Bell HUI
man Butterflies, Capt Webb's riding,
juggling and musical seals, the Run
yam family of aerialists, the Pajara
family of Gypsy riders, the Hines-Kim-
ball troupe of acrobats, Prof Taylor's
English monkey circus and the Aren-
sen troupe of gymnasts.
The street parade is the most cost
ly pageant ever devised for circus pur-
poses. The equipment was built last
winter in the foreign workshops of the
show near Liverpool, England, at a
cost of 81 100000. There is not an old
feature in it and it is three miles long.
The menagerie, too, has been recon-
structed on original plans. 1t is an
open library of natural history and
practically complete geological ex-
position.
The two performances to be given in
Mt. Vernon will be identical with those
presented in all the large cities. New
York City endorses this circus. It
takes proprietary interest in 1t. Its
metropolitan home is in the Madison
Square Garden and its home offices are
located in that city. In fact, it is the
pride of the American metropolis. 1t
is there considered the most popular,
the biggest and the best circus in the
world.
