FATHER RABEYROLLE
ARRIVES At HOME
LAS VEGAS CLERGYMAN ESCAPES
MILITARY SERVICE IN THE
FRENCH ARMY

Worshippers at the early morning
mass at the Church of the Immaculate
Conception church were surprised to-
day when they observed that the cele-
brant was the Rev. Father Adrian
Rabeyrolle pastor of the parish. Faith
er Rabeyrolle has been in France
since May and it has been reported
at various times that he had been
called upon for military service with
the French army, in spite of the fact
he is a naturalized American citizen.
The last word heard from Father
Rabeyrolle was a letter to Frank Roy
in which he stated that he had been
called upon to serve under the colors
Of France and there was no hope of
his return for several months.
Father Rabeyrolle arrived home
this morning on the California Linn
tied, shortly after o'clock, and went
Immediately to +he church for the
daily celebration of mass. His par
ishoners, not knowing he was in this
part of the world, were agreeably sur
prised to see him, and after the serv-
ices they crowded about him in the
sacristy 10 congratulate him upon his
safe return.
Father Rabeyrolle was on the way
to join his regiment when he received
a message from the French war office
informing him he would not be need
ed, Father Paulhan, cousin of Faith
er Rabeyrolle, who is stationed at
Pecos, left France a few days ahead
of the Las Vegas clergyman. He had
not reached Pecos today and Father
Rabeyrolle thinks he may have been
detained some place upon the jour
ney.

MR.. SEARCH'S CONCERT.
Debut Of n Young CeIlist With some
Talent.

Frederick Preston Search. young
American cellist, was heard for the first
time here last evening In a recital at
Aeolian Hall. His performance included
'he first moveuAnt from julius Klengers
violin concerto In u minor. the adagio
from Schumanns cello concerto. pieces by
'HJzounoy. Goldblatt Davidov, Ashton,
Sykora and an aria by himself. There
were also two numbers In which Mr..
Search had the assistance of Robert LIP
pitt. pianist. namely Grieg's q minor
ballad and a sonata by himself In q
minor for piano and cello.
Alr Search's playing attracted some
.u'or' st In that IL contained certain merits.
though thcse were frequently accompanied
b, deficiencies. HIS tone was naturally a
arge and musical one, but It was too
often impaired by an insufficient technic.
In Interpretation and style there were
,mmendabl- individuality and breadth of
IMPRESSION. but little of the finer nuance.
On The whole Il can be said that Mr..
Search Is a young player of talent with
much TO learn. He had large and
friendly audience.

LOHENGRIN GIVEN
AT METROPOLITAN
Second Night Of Season Brings
Good Performance of Ger
man Opera.
CAST GENERALLY STRONG

Nlgucr's "Lohengrin" was sung at tho
Metropolitan opera House last evening,
the second of the season. An audience
of good size assembled and there was
abundant applause. The performance was
one of high merit, though there were the
inevitable uneven places In the delivery
Of some Of the music Undoubtedly these
were 50 slight as to cause no diminution
Of the enjoyment OF the audience The
general spirit OF the representation was
80 faithful to the intent OF the great mas
ter and the devotion of each individual
artist was so fervent that only uplifting
results could be observed.
The excellence Of this performance was
not due wholly to the principals. The
DAYS of star casts and ragged back
grounds are long past. and no small part
OF the interest of last nights repetition
was due to the minute care bestowed upon
"details. The movement OF the chorus both
IN groups and among individuals was well
planned and executed. Indeed In the
singing OF the chorus as well as It's ac-
ton, and in the playing " the orchestra
there were many evidences OF rehearsal.
The cast was composed OF old ac-
ouain.anCes. except In one Instance.
Arthur Middleton. an American singer,
made his first operate appearance here
a. the Herald. He has been heard in ora
torio. His voice Is well suited to the
operate stage ana his vocal style and
dictiou both proved to he praiseworthy.
Nr Middleton probably fell into an error
common among singers new to the Metro
politan stage. He seemed to think Il
necessary to give out continually the
whole power OF his voice. He will doubt
less learn to husband his resources.
good example was get for him by
Carl Braun. the basso. who sang the
music OF the kino with much excellent
Judgment. employing moderate and even
small degree of force most OF the time,
and thus adding to the dignity OF his
style Nine Gadski as Elsa and Nine.
Ober as Ortriid supplied the feminine ele
ments in the performance. The former
4. always pains;aking artist. but last
evening her vocal apparatus was not In
its best condition and her singing was
somewhat labored
Nine. Ober's Ortrud was up to its usual
level and the Lohsngrin OF Mr.. Urles
lacked none Of its wonted quality. Mr..
We'll repeated his stalwart and sonorous
Tclrdmund. The orchestra OF the Metro
rolitan Opera House has often been
praised for its excellence. and II Is
pleasure TO record that 1t is as good as
ever.

CAMPANINI MAY GIVE
OPERA SEASON HERE
Italian Conductor Plans New
Enterprise at Lexington
Avenue House.

II Is not improbable that New York
Will have a second season of opera In
spite OF the departure on SATURDAY for
Chicago OF the Century Opera Company
which ends its seas n here next Saturday
The contemplated season will be in
French and Italian, and Its organizer Will
be no less a person than the wen known
Cleofonte Campanlni. who made the repu-
tation Of the earlier seasons at the Man
haitian Opera House. lie is now In Chi
cage. In spite Of the differences between
Signor Campanni and oscar Hammer
stein. the season which Is at present con-
templated by the Italian conductor will
probably be given In Mr.. Hammerstein's
new Lexington Avenue opera House
Until last week this was used for the
exhibition of moving pictures.
Signor Campanini is now in Chicago
endeavorlng t. collect what he considers
should be paid to him as his salary for
the present season Since the Metropuli-
tan Opera House has been able to give
It's season. he believes that the Chicago
company could have carried out its plans
had there been any real desire to do So.
1t has been said that all the French
artists, including Charles Dal'nores. Ar
mand Crabbe. Hector Dufranne and the
rest of the company could have been
assembled had tho Chicago directors SO
desired. Already Edyth Walker, Marie
Koutzleneff and Marie Barrlentos have.
with other singers, declared their inten-
tion OF bringing suit against the COM
pany on the same ground that SEnor
Campanlni is urging his claims to pay
ment.
II Is thought that he will get his
salary, which is said to amount to about
sac. 900. without difficulty. There are now
a number OF operate artists In this
country, sufficient I'm the opinion of Signor
Campanini to corm a strong company
for the Lexington Avenue opera House.
Others can be obtained The date of the
opening OF the season Is dependent On tho
settlement OF the condutors difficulties
with the Chicago Opera Cocpany.
