FLOTOW'S MARTA" IS

Flo,ow's Marta" WAS given at the
Metropolitan Opera House yesterday

Miss Abott as Marta, Mime. Homer AZ

Mr.. Malatesta was the Trtstnro. and the
conductor Mr.. Bavagnoli. There Vas .
large audience and the ~favorite numbers.
especially THE Last Rose Of Summer"
received hearty applause.
The performance was one Of vivacious
spirit and ranged from lively humor to
l~achrymose pathos in accordance with
tradition and the requirements Of the
rather naive score. The singing was not
always OF the type which used to de.
light our fathers, yet It la some sound
merits At times. Nine. Henpel. despite
her frequent departures from the pitch,
gave the greatest satisfaction 10 iDvers
OF refined vocal nrt. for she sang with
beautiful quality Of tone and a SMOOTH
ness Of style which was often wanting
In the delivery of her ~nssooiafes. In
observance of ancient custom b { alnG
The Last Rose OF Summer In english,
and very Scar English. for an encore.
Mr.. Caruso made an artistic endeavor
toward his early lyric style. He was
not always successful In divesting him
self OF declamatory mannerisms acquired
In recent years, but In many places he
sang with much elegance and finish.
