FARRAR'S CEISHA
MOST FASCINATING
"Madama Butterfly" Beau
tifully Presented at
Metropolitan.
NEW TROUBLE IN
CAST CAUSED NONE
Puccini's Music Raised to New
Heights of Significance by
TOScanini's Skill.

"Madama Butterfly" has long been a
twice-told tale, but, twice-told tales be-
ing popular in opera land, last nights
audience at the Metropolitan Opera
House was one of the largest that have
assembled there thus far this season.
1t would be idle to ask who was Cio-
Cio-San; of course, It was Miss Ger
aldne Farrar. Sometimes Miss Farrar
is in poor voice and sings loudly. Last
night she was in excellent voice and
sang discreetly, with the result that
little Madama Butterfly had never
seemed more tenderly appealing. In her
acting Miss Farrar once again created
the most fascinating geisha that ever
was evolved from the brains of Cali
fornia novelist and a New York pro-
ducer. Granted that such a Cio-Cio-
San could not exist, isn't 1t only so
much the worse for Japan? At any
rate, every debutante in last night S
audience thought so, and many who
were not debutantes.
To make the picture still more per-
feet, Signor Martinelli was in very
good voice, and made Of Pinkerton an
altogether possible hero, while Signor
Scotti showed US how American con-
suls will all look and act when our
COHSuldl StINlCt 10 NOhiPiStciJ iNCi 81
ized and purified. Nine. Fornia's Su-
zuki has always been very admirable
impersonation, and the minor parts
were all filled capably. AS for Signor
Toscanini-
If Puccini has not made of "Madama
Butterfly" one of the worlds supreme
masterpieces, Signor Toscanini for the
moment makes one believe he has.
Under the magic of his baton the music
becomes charged with strange and un-
looked-for ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
which were perhaps never in the com
poser's brain. We listen, and listening
believe that a great love drama, a jap
anese Tristan" as it were, is being
performed before us. And as we leave
the theatre we wonder why we had
never thought this before.
But we are forgetting one member
Of the cast, who. though in stature and
years tiny one, was in tn drama OF
mighty significance. This was Trouble,
Cio-Cio-San's little son. Trouble last
night was impersonated by Master
William Small, the son of Mr. William
Small, of the box Office staff. The
management made a special request
that the critical comments on this par
ticular member of the casts perform
ance be not such as will cause him TO
blush when he is old enough to read
them. Therefore let it only be said
that Master Small was making his
debut, and that there was in him no
trace of nervousness.

COME FROM PHILIPPINES
Government Officials to Tes-
tify Before Senate Committee.
fFrom The Tribune Bureau.

Washington, Nov. 30.--Vice-Governor
Martin and S. d. Ferguson, executive
secretary of the Philippine Islands, are
on their way 10 Washington to appear
before the Senate Philippines Commit
tee to testify concerning conditions in
the islands and the fitness Of the Fill
pinos for self-government They were
to arrive in San Francisco to-day.
The Senate will begin its hearings on
the pending Philippines bill, which as
part of the administration legislative
programme has already passed the
House, about the middle Of December.
In view of the legislative situation
and the need Of quick action to pass
the supply bills before March a, 1T is
considered not improbable by Senate
leaders that, to allay opposition, the
Democrats might decide to eliminate
the preamble, which commits the
United States to the policy of granting
independence to the Filipinos as soon
as they are fit for it. Unless it is
dropped opposition is almost certain.

MalHe hallIOdu, uleu lO-HlBnL dL Hlo
home here. Death was due to angina
pectoris.
After forty-fve years OF railroad SER
vice Lucius Tuttle resigned as presi
dent of the Boston G. Maine Railroad
four years ago. He held this place for
seventeen years, reaching it by diligent
application to the field of work which
he chose for himself when he was nine
teen years old. Starting at the bottom
Of the ladder as youth he rose grad
ually to the head of the corporation
which serves Northern New England,
and retired only on account of poor
health. He continued his interest in
the road ard acted as chairman of the
board of directors after giving up the
presidency, but the active management
was turned over to the New York, New
Haven e. Hartford Railroad, Charles S.
Mellen succeeding Tuttle at the helm.
Mr.. Tuttle was born in Hartford,
Conn, on March IL, 1916, and received
his education in the public schools. Be-
fore he was twenty he had cast his lot
with railway service, and for fourteen
years held numerous positions Of minor
Importance until, in 1889, he was made
commander of the Trunk Line Associa-
tion. He displayed such signal ability
in this place that a year later he was
asked to become general manager of
the New York, New Haven e. Hartford
Railroad. For two years he directed
the affairs of the big corporation, all
the time extending his grasp and
knowledge of transportation problems
=. II he ha.~ n
ice-president of the New Haven, but
quickly sought fresh fields of endeavor,
and in the following year he was elect
ed president of the Boston & Maine,
where he ended his career. From 1896
to 1910 he was head of the Maine Cen
tral Railway.
When the New Haven reached out
and purchased the Boston e. Maine, re-
ports of Tuttles intended resignation
were rife, and in 1909 he told the direc-
tors that the time had come for the
new owners to assume full response
bility for the operation of the road,
but it wasn't until the following year
that his resignation was protfered and
accepted.
Mr.. Tuttle was married on October
Il, 1875, to Estelle Hazen Martin, of
Norwich, Conn. Three years ago he
underwent an operation for the ampu-
tation of his left leg. Poor general
health was largely responsible for the
conditions which made the operation
necessary, although the immediate
cause was the bite of strange insect.
For a long time the leg refused to
heal, although the sufferer received the
best medical attention that money
could procure. Every effort was made
to save the member, but it finally be-
came question of life and death. The
operation was a success, but the i'm
paired health Of the railroad man
showed no improvement, and he re-
mained in comparative retirement dur
ing the last months of his life.
