LUCIA" IN ENGLISH
How the Bride of LammeTmoor
Killed Her Husband.
A FAITHFUL NARRATIVE
Donizetti's Opera Performed at
the Century Opera
House.

About o'clock yesterday afternoon.
and again at 10 o'clock last night, Bide-
the-Bent entered hall in Sir Henry Ash
toms castle, where a lot Of wedding
guests were making a Jubilation. and In
formed them that Lucy Ashton Tor rather
Lucia, for Lucy doesn't At the music
had killed her husband Immediately after
the ceremony of marriage. 1t was
startling news, though no one would have
thought IT from the conduct Of the merry
company, nor even from tho words Of the
messenger, which, though they look
somewhat dsjolnted ungrammatical and
repetitious In cold type, flowed on quite
placidly on a stream Of tune nicely pune
tuated with reiterations by the chorus
This was how Bide-the-Bent conveyed
the tidings:
Cease ye, Oh cease these sounds Of sladness.
Grief 7 bring ye. a dire misfortune
From the chamber where. sad and silent,
To her lord Lucy guided;
Cries Of anguish broke loud upon US,
'Twixt suspicion and fear sore divided,
Terror seized me; burst upon them:
Sight OF dread appalld my senses
BY her husband the bride was kneeling:
In her hand she held the dagger
And her anguish recommences.
Wretched maid she'd slain her husband.
Gazing near, and from her lips a smile broke
forth
All, her spirit most unhappy,
Reasons bonds had cast away;
Her spirit unhappy.
Her spirit most unhappy,
Reasons bonds, yes, reasons bonds haA cast
away.
All heaven in mercy the crime forgive her!
sad was her fate, cruel hatred's prey,
Sad was her fate, cruel hatred's prey.
Gazing forth with eyes all vacant.
In her hand she held dagger
her!
Sad was her fate, cruel hatred's prey.
Sad was her fate, cruel hatred's prey,
Sad was her fate: ah yesi said was her fate;
All, yes! sad was her fate.
Mr.. Alfred Kaufman sang these words.

which was painful, and made some Of his
hearers realize what was meant by him
who said that words which were too fool
ish to be spoken might be sung. But II
really didn't seem to signify much, so far
as the people who hear them at the
Century Opera House were concerned. IL
was opera, IL was opera in English, at
reasonable prices: II was DoniZettfs
music and that sufficed the audiences,
and will suffice the audiences for the rest

a vacant stare, dropped a dagger 10 the

at nothing entered into competition with

adept at many tricks OF vocal art, besides
making a better dramatic character out
of the familiar operate marionette than
some of the few whose exceptional voices
and skill have kept Donizettis Lucia di
Lammermoor" alive. Messrs. Walter
Wheatley and Louis Kreidler strove val
iantly, albeit somewhat stridulously, to
impersonate Lucy's heroic lover and cruel
brother. so valiantly, indeed, that they
gave the public all of the challenge scene
in Part ILL.,, which the Italian companies
generally spare us.

THE CAST

For them as likes their vaudeville
served in two spectacular chunks. hung
together by a threadlike plot, seasoned
with some snappy music and touched Off
with a plenteous dash OF chorus girls
who fully realize their attractions and do
their very best to display them. THE
Pleasure Seekers" which opened Monday
night at the Winter Garden. offers gen
erous entertainment
One might say ten chunks. however.
for each act Of the piece is divided again
into ten elaborate scenes. beginning In
the banquet room of the Rtz-Cariton'
where Harry Cooper and Bobby North.
old vaudeville favorites, start out as a
pair Of Hebrew drummers on business
trip. ending in the establishment of n
French modiste I'm Paris.
Harry Cooper and Bobby North bring
their familiar Hebrew comedy stunts
throughout their travels, and are further
aided and ahetted in this form OF humor
by Max Rogers as wealthy partner OF
their firm. Some of the scenes are clever
in their conception, such as the one
aboard the steamer and the snowballnS
a never-ending supply of effectively
gowned and more effectively near-gowned
ladies', who, at stated occasions, desert
the regions behind the footlights ana
parade their charms on platform placed
at lust the proper elevation before the
ecstatic front row.
George White is one Of the bright spots
In the cast. for he can dance and mas
plenty of IL to do His snowshoe scuitle'
which begins with a song that is soon for
gotten. shows him at his best. Mont
Comery and Moore are good fun, with
their familiar style of dialogue, and nave
n rather good number in THE Woolly
Wild West Show" in the last act.
Hobby North creates some little impress
sion when he sings Get out ana Get
Under" or the tragedy Of flirting in an
automobile, which, OF course, may have
deal of significance for owners of motors
or chauffeurs. MY Arverne Rose,
sung by Mr.. Cooper, IL destined to De

This is one Of the song numbers inter-
poated by Bert Grant.
The music and the lyrics of the pro-
ductlon are credited to e. Ray Goetz'
who has written in some catchy tunes
but II he cares much about the proper
execution of his interludes and choruses
he should speak sternly to the man In
the orchestra who plays the oom-pah ana
the gentleman with the deadly cymbals'
All of the cast do well with what Is
given them, and when the production mas
settled a bit, is trimmed and elaboratea
here and there, as 1t undoubtedly Will be-
Il will provide good fun Of Its kind at the
Winter Garden for some time.
