MARKET REPORT
Stocks and Bends


Now York. Aug. 17-Furiher prog
ress towards normal conditions was
manifested in the domestic financial
situation today. Although resumption
OF open trading Is still matter Of
conjecture. private business in the
bonds vas slightly more active. And
dealings in stocks were almost wholly
limited to contracts entered into be.
fore the exchange closed and these
are now reduced to minimum.
Encouragement was expressed ov-
er the more complete understanding
between the administration at WASH
tngton and the influential banking in
terests regarding the pressing need of
remedial measures. Abandonment of
tile French loan. which. II carried out,
inevitably would have been followed
by similar transactions for the other
belligerents, was accepted as the only
course consistent with the country's
attitude. Nevertheless. ii is believed
that some OF the nations now at war
besides Great Britain will devise for
building Of credits in this market.
Representatives Of the largest saw
ing! banks today announced that very
few OF their depositors have availed
themselves of the sixty day withdraw
al clause and that all excitement that
Is connected with this precaution had
been dissipated 1t was learned also
that some Of the leading institutions

OPERA
PRESENTEDAT
ATLANTA
San Carlos Troupe Leaves Moth
ing To Be Desired in Rem
dition of Tuneful "Lucia."
BY TARIEToN COLLIER.

1t was a dauntless little crowd that
sailed forth to the Atlanta Theater
Thursday night to hear the San Carlo
Grand Opera Company sing Lucia di
l.amlnermoor' eager and appre-
ciatlve crowd. They came with some
trepldatiCn, because they knew the
Metropolitan and its splendors and
were afraid that the fates might send
them tawdry entertainment through
this unknown company.
But, like the true faithful, they were
rewarded, and they realized it from
the moment that the Chevaier Gu
seppe Angelini reared his handsome
and majestic person above an exotic
and temperamental orchestra, and,
without score. guided the musicians
masterfully into the drumming over
ture of Lucia"
The audience knew we'll that It was
rewarded when the first scene was re-
vealed, and when Angelo Antola,
singing Lord Henry Ashton, displayed
baritone, and William Giulani. sing
ing Lord Arthur Bucklaw, displayed a
tenor that neared perfection, both OF
them After that they settled down
to pure enjoyment of the opera and its
capable Interpretation.
Nothing Left Wanting.
According to the burden of evil
dence furnished by music lovers,
Lucia di Lanmermoor" has the rep
utation Of being right tedious per-
Torrance, compared to the other glo-
ries of the musical armament, with
only the immortal seXtet to commend
1t to fame. But there was nothing
Thursday night to bear out this name.
One after another. the series of duets
and solos that make up this opera
were rendered in a manner that left
nothing TO be desired
There are only two kinds of grand
opera-the good and the bad. Be-
cause 1t is so thoroughly exacting
and SO nearly pure art, grand opera
can be only the one or the other.
Mediocrity is failure. And concern
Ing the grand opera as interpreted by
the company Thursday night. It is
sufficient to say that the audience,
which plainly knew what it wanted,
was wildly enthusiastic. The great
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1914-02-06

sextet had to be done twice. No aria
went without it's half minute of APP
plause, at least.
1t was altogether too small an au-
dience that heard Lucia" The dig
nified conductor showed plainly his
perturbation at the smallness of the
crowd when several times he turned
a painful eye to scan the house. He
can be excused for this, because the
company deserves far better recog-
milton than 1t received from Atlanta
Thursday.
Prima Donna Excellent.
A great deal can be said about the
capable work OF Edvidge Vaccari,
whom the company's manager likes to
bill as the young Tetrazzini." She
is young, energetic. versatile, and she
possesses with it ali that one desid-
eratum, an excellent voice. AS Lucia
her duet with Edgardo in the first act
was one of the great things of the
opera. Pilade Sinagra sang Edgardo.
His tenor is clear and powerful and
sweet. And, with the others OF the
company, he is a conscientious actor
along with his singing.
NATURALLY, the grandeur and the
glory of costume and scenery and
pretentious chorus that go with the
Metropolitan Is lacking. There is no
one with the temerity to say that here
are voices to eqtal Hempers, or Ca
rusO's. or Scotti's. But all the same,
here is good singing and a general
effect that is just as pleasing to the
really knowing as that produced by
any party of singers.
I'll Trovatore" will be presented
Friday night.
