IRIS" REVIVED
AT OPERA HOUSE
Beautiful Art Displayed
by Miss BOri in Mas
cagni Work.
SUNSET SCENERY
OPERAS CHIEF CHARM
Excellent Work by Conductor
and Singers Unavailing, with
Score Lacking in Vitality.

When Mascagni's Iris" was revived
after slumber Of FIVE years in the
season of I907-l908 (it had been
brought forward by the composer in
his calamitous visit in October, 1902
the only excuse nat could be found for
il was that Nine. Eames wanted n Jap
anese part to set against Miss Farrar's
Cio-C io-San. With the aid of her beau
tiful face (albeit it looked little
matronly when pressed against that of
her doll) and the popularity OF Caruso
and Scotti the management succeeded
in giving the opera four times. Then
the sunset, which was it's chief charm,
paled it's Intellectual fires and the brill
liant scenery went into the Metropoll-
tan's lumber room.
II might profitably have been per-
mtted to remain there; but the need
of an opera to take the place OF Prince
Igor turned the attention of Mr.. Con-
REDS successor TO the work. Mr.. los
canini seems TO have been amiably dis
posed toward it, there was the most
perfect representative of tbs principal
character conceivable IN the company
in the person Of Miss Bori. and so 1t
was "revived" again last night.
A deplorable waste of time and en-
crgy. we fear. Not even Mr.. Toscanini's
genius. though exerted in the stage
arrangement as we'll as in the direction
q the music, can put vitality into
iifeless score. The symbolism OF its
opening and closing sunsets is poor
dramatic material, because it is incom-
rrehensible to the multitude.
The second act, witt its reproduction
OF a bawdy house scene, which Is none
the less inexcusable because IL is Japa-
nese in it's externals, lacks thf poor pal
liation which good music might give 1t,
and, lacking good music, is insufferably
dull; and the third act is no better,
despite the recurrence of the opening
chorus. TIL music of the scene in the
first act of the mousme, otherwise the
japanese blanch discusses, is pi ,tty, and
the puppet play holds tn attention
largely because of the fascinating play
and song Of Miss Bori, but with this
the catalogue Of the operas merits is
exhausted.
The story invites local color, and
there is a suggestion of it in the parade
of exotic instruments of music and
some tinkling sounds which are sup
posed to proceed from samisens; but
there isn't 6 note of japanese music
from beginning to end in it's score.
1t was pity that such beautiful
art as that displayed by Miss Borl was
wasted upon the work, and only little
smaller pity that Mr.. Botta, Mr.. Scott
and Mr.. Ddur should have labored so
zealously and well in a cause bound to
hp futile HI. r.. Il.

FRIENDSHIP FOR U. S.
IN BRITISH COURT
Stars and Stripes to Adorn
Queens Present to Princess
Mary.
[By Cabl. TO The Tribune J

London, April Princes Mary on
her eighteenth birthday, which occurs
on April %, will receive from her
mother a $4,000 bracelet bearing the
flags of Great Britain, France. Russia,
Belgium and the United States done
in jewels and gold enamel. Originally
her majesty had intended to have
pictures OF the rulers Of the countries
of the Allies. with President Wilson
added as a friend, but finally decided
on the flags as a more permanent
souvenir.
This is but one example of the fact
that the English court grows daily
more pro-American, and il matters at
issue with the United States could be
settled by royal courtesy. compliments
and expressions Of good will no ques-
tions would be long under discussion.
There is little doing at the English
court at present. but the Anglo-Ameri-
can contingent always holds a place in
whatever festivities may be in prog
ress. At dinner party at Buckingham
Palace a week ago many titled women
of American birth were present, IN
GLIDING the Duchess of RoXburghe and
Lady Beatty, and the table decorations
were a notable feature Of the dinner,
and in honor of the American guests a
centrepiece was arranged "a the flag
of the United States. The last time
this particular royal courtesy was paid
to another country was when President
Loubet was the guest Of King Edward.
Anglo American women have also been
frequently in attendance at Queen
Marys series of afternoon teas held
in her majesty's boudoir, although the
series was commenced only for the
Queens most int mate friends. Per-
hans the most remarkable evidence OF
the royal desire to be particularly po-
lite 10 America was the speech which
the King made recently at headquar-
,ers staff mess at Aldershot.
After King Georges health had been
drunk in the usual course the King re-
piled and proposed "the health Of the
commanding officer and staff but in
mis- speech the King made rather re-
marka1le allusion TO Great Brltsln's
unbroken friendship with America for
The last hundred years, and IN propos-
inc the toast coupled it with the health
Of "our oldest friend. if not ally, the
United States Of America"

DENIES BAD WORK
ON THE LOST F-4
Daniels Declares Engines and
Battery of Submarine Were
in Good Condition.

Washington. April Secretary Dan
iels has chafed under criticisms APP
pearing in various newspapers in
, which the suggestion has been con-
veyed that the loss Of the submarine
F-4 was to be attributed to inferiority
Of design and lack of sufficient appro-
priations by Congress for the proper
upkeep OF the navy, particularly of the
submarine notilla. Secretary Daniels
told Rear Admirals Griffin and Taylor
to answer these criticisms, and on the
advice of these officers this afternoon
he issued an official statement, in which
he said:
"The most recent reports from the
FL show that both engines we're in ex-
cellent condition during :. 4S-hour run.
As to the battery, a report Of January,
1915. the last ono or record. states that
an overhaul had been completed ard
that the battery was in good condition.
A previous one, dated November 20,
1914, states that il was in excellent
condition, except for high tempera-
lures, but this is to be expected in the
tropics. An abundant supply Of bat
terry material was in store in Honolulu,
so that there was no reason why the
battery should not have been in splen-
did condition at the time OF the acct
