NINE. FREMSTAD AS T0SCA
A Night of Enthusiasm at the
Opera.

Nine Olive Fremstad sang Tosca last
night for the first time this season. ana
typical Monday night audience thronged
the Metropolitan as few Monday nights
have seen II thronged this year.
When. three seasons ago. Nine. Frem-
stad first announced her intention OF al
tempting the Roman actress there were
Wiseacres who shook their heads. 1hey
declared that her beauty was too much OF
the Northern type: that her voice was not
in range equal to the music: in short
they predicted failure. Then Nine. Frem-
stad appeared. and. needless to say, II
she did not at that performance take the
house by storm she came very TAR from
failure. Since then with each appear
ance she has shown an Improvement anu
last night. perhaps for the first time. she
shone forth at last mistress of the char
actor. Her Tosca now is worthy of the
woman VINO acts il.
In IN. second act Nine. Fremstad mas
gained in pose. a poise none the less
infused with tragic passion. Her exit
from the room after the killing OF Scarp'a
was one Of the most thrilling pieces OF
acting that she has accomplished on the
Metropolitan stage.
Her singing OF the "Vissi d'Arte" was
surerbly executed. and in general her col
oring of her voice was most skilful. Mr.
Scott was the Scarpia and what Scarpia
is there but h.? Mr.. Caruso. in excellent
voice. sang Cavaradossi. and Mr.. Tosca-
mini irfuscd genius into the score.
