MEYERBEER'S MUSIC
METROPOLITAN
"Les ITuguenots" Repeated
and Applauded by a Very
Large Audience.
AS POPULAR AS EVER

Meyerbeer's most popular opera, les
HuRuenots" was repeated at the Metro
polltan Opera House last evening. Since
the work Ia now given In Italian the
natural course would be to call It "Gli
Ugonott." as II used 10 be called In
the early days Of opera in this town.
But no one really cares what II Is
called. since the Les Hugucnots" by any
other name requires n star cast with
MIR Caruso as the central sun. The
audience Of last evening was OF the
kind usually seen in the opera house
when the famous tenor sings. 1t was a
great one. and Its applause was what
might have been expected.
The performance OF the familiar old
work was as good as any that has been
heard in the course OF the current sea-
son. II IL admitted that most OF the
singers IN the cast are not opponents OF
the correct style of French grand opera
music, but on the other hand the voices
are mostly OF the best quality known TO
the present opera stage and each singer
has artistic merits OF his own.
For example, Mr. Rothier. the ST. Brts
Of the cast. has all the traditions OF the
French stage and II good voice, but he
lacks the weight to carry full cOnvlc-
ton in the role. Mr.. Caruso sings the
music OF RdoW beautifully. but In the
Italian style. Mime Destinn is a good
N not great Valentine and Miss Hempe
sings the music of the Queen very wei
indeed Mr.. Scott Is the finished artist
always. Mr.. Braun too explosive Marco
and Miss Garrison as UrbdtH very
promising beginner Mr. Polacco natu'
rally has no great trouble In conduct
ing the work and any good set of chora
| routiniers can sing the choruses effec
/ lively. The ballet is good and the pre-

FEDERAL JUDGE TURNS
THEATRICAL CRITIC
MAYER Tells Of the Difficulty
of Steering Clear of
Plagiarism.

Judge julius NJ Mayer Of the United
states District Court qualified ~ =
dramatic critic In an opinion written by
him yesterday In the copyright injunc-
ton suit brought by John NJ Vernon
against Samuel 5 and Leo Shubert, Inc,
John c. Huffman and George Scarho-
ough. the playwright The Judge dis
misses the suit. in which Vernon said
that the idea and material In his
Threads Of Destiny had been embodied
In AT Bay" which was written by Scar
borough and Augustus Thomas.
"Of course" says the Judge, AS so
often happens. there are some characters
In both plays having a similarity and
here and there some instances of similar
phrasco,ogv. But 'ha1 * very old
story in playwritlng, because there are
not many themes around which play
may be- plotted Secret marriages. dis
trlct attorneys murders. Office boys,
biackmaiiers good people and bad people
have walked about behind the footligh =
for many "A day, and the only way % ar
rive At a conclusion on the merits m n
case like this Is to eudcayor to discover
the theory of the play and, generally
speaking the method ut rs execution
JudCt Mayer then praises scarborough
for his Ingenious Ideas and Augustus
Thomas To- his SKIN. but ne apparently
does not believe in unm!Xed praise, AZ
the following extract shows
In Threads Of Destiny the author
attempts 10 enforce the theory that des-
tiny Is All controlling. In Al Bay the
authors had no mission Their purpose
was to provide an evenings entertain
ment which would bring customers tc
