Master Musician Thinks "Sa
FranciSk" "Magnifique";
Wakes Enthusiastic
Over Portola

And how about the tango. macs
tro?r
The big man talked with his eye
brows and shoulders expressively.
Then he said:
"Oh. curioso.7
Which means. in the kings Eng
lish, Ruggiero Leoncavallo is inter
ested in the tango.
He sees the everlasting search for
something new in the eccentric
dances. He believes they are artistic
to a degree. but he refuses to get
excited over the crazy steps, he ex-
planned further along.
Ostensibly. the purpose Of the fa-
nous composers trip to San Fran
cisco is to lead the production of his
own dear "TPagliacci" by the West
ern metropolitan opera company at
tn. TivoH. and to handle the baton
wien the same company stages
"Zaza," 'Zingari" and - La Boheme. -
all of which and many more have
flown from the versatile pen of the
master musician.
Leoncavallo reached San Francisco
on the Overland Limited today at
$3.50 o'clock, five weeks from Paris.
ais SHE SETTLED DOWN.
Sa Francisk, he calls this town
''is she settled down yet?'' he asked
the group of admirers that greeted
him. with a chuckle.
Then the group had to bark back
to 1906, when Leoncavallo was headed
for an engagement here. 1t was the
second night of the grand opera sea-
son, when-pouf-the big fire. and
Leoncavallo telegraphed he guessed
he wouldn't come until she settled
down." she" meaning the city. So
this Is the first time that the immor-
tai writer of famous operas has ever
set foot in San Francisco.
He commented upon the strange
ness of the coincidence-his arriving
here on the eve Of the Portola-the
big rejoicing. Leoncavallo is in the
spirit of the carnival already.
His volatile, generous adjectives
were sort of bottled up coming across
the bay. The fog was in. He couldn't
see much and the reporters couldn't
pull any OF that what de'ye think Of
San Francisco?' stuff
