CENTURY OPERA HOUSE.
verdi's aida" Heard by = Lsrse
and Demonstrntive Audience.

Verdi's Aida" was sung at the Century
Opera House last evening. A large au-
dience heard the performance and gave
throughout many demonstrations OF It's
approval. Aida" which is the most pop
ular work Of ltaly's greatest composer OF
operas. was chosen by the Messrs Aoorn
for che presentation on the opening night
OF the Century opera House on September
Is, 1913. Later on IN March OF the same
season the opera had a successful reap
pearance in the companys repertoire.
The cause OF the works great popularity
with the public Is OF course easily under
stood a In ensemble II at once offers an
opportunity in kind unrivalled for great
splendor In :he spectacular display OF
stage settings together with prodgality
OF vitality fine music. Aida" written by
Verdi FOR the Khedive OF Egypt. Is richly
colored by the atmosphere OF an African
sun and again Il Is made alluring to eye
and ear by the sensuous charm OF a moon
light night on the Nile.
Frequent situations in the opera AFFORD
an unusually broad ground for effective
scenes and decorations. for pageants and
a display OF gorgeous costumes and for
music which offers In brilliant variation a
continuous and flowing succession OF
dramatic arias, duets and choruses that
are carried along each and all in a
splendid orchestral setting.
Naturally a finished performance OF an
opera along such lines as these was not
to be expected from an organization which
is still as comparatively young as the
| Century company, but even If the one
| heard at its hands last night did not carry
with IL by any means the full achievement
of artistic perfection in many of its details
| there was yet much left TO furnish real
! enjoyment and 90 fully warrant the high
water mark of appreciation shown to the
| many participants.
Mr.. Jaccha was the conductor and
| under his sklful baton the orchestra did
some generally fine work: the scenic fea-
| lures and costumes were adequate; the
! choruses sang with good precision and the
| ensembles were well managed.
Miss Ewell sang the title role. She
was in good voice and put to her account
| both vocally and In her acting perhaps
the best work she has thus far done this
, season. Her singing OF Return as a Con
