for the afternoon papers interviewed
the mayor. Are you going to sub

said the mayor. The reporters then
questioned him about other matters
Shortly before the interview ended he
said: You mustn't absolutely de-
pend upon what say in these inter
views, boys. Sometimes things come
up which change my plans"
Yesterday something came up to
change the mayors plans. He made
his appointments and asked that &C !.
ton be deferred week.
The reading of two orders, one
from Buck and one from Kennedy,
followed. Buck demanded the school
committee find out the stand of each
prospective board member on the
right of the city to investigate the
finances of the board. Kennedy
wanted to know their attitude on the
right of teachers to belong to labor
bodies. Both were referred to the
police committee, which meets to-
day. The aldermen will fight to have
these orders reported back into the
council before next Monday night.
When interviewed last night the
mayors appointees refused to take
any definite stand on any Of the i'm
portant matters now before the
board. Indeed, many of them said
they were going to see the mayor"
first. John Brushingham, the polfti
cian-minister, openly declared he
would take his stand and do what
the mayor tells him to.

Bedtime No Time for Candy

(ANDY is a good thing. There
would be a lot more hungry
people in the world If 1t
wasn't for candy. Even in favor OF
cheap candy there's a lot to be
said.
Sugar. in whatever form. is a
real food as well as an actual
stimulant But you ought not to
eat it before going to bed.
The digestive organs work as
well during sleep as during wake
fulness, though not as fast, but the
salivary glands do not.
Accustomed to being stimulated

by the act Of chewing. the juices
that come into the mouth readily
at that time, and often during the
day, are apt to be dormant during
sleep.
Candy, like all sugars. requires
a great deal Of the substances in
the saliva to help it through its
various transformations into alco-
hOl, starches and then the various
organic compounds that the body
needs.

will expect the characters to be ap-
propriately and faithfully interpre-

Of countries which produce capable
singers who can actin greater

them no excuse for going on pre-

The Pavlowa-Rabinoff new opera

The result Of the Japanese sing
er's first appearance in that char

tan Opera House. entirely justified
Mile. Pavlowa's perspicacity. To
certain extent it duplicated the eff
feet Of Oscar Hammerstein's initial
presentation there of Tetrazzini, the
exhilarating Italian coloratura So
prano. when the fortunes Of that
new temple of grand opera were
hanging in the balance. II seemed
to place well on its legs the Russian
dancers rather risky enterprise.
The opera reviewers were unani-
mOusly cordial in their published
reception Of the indigenous Cio-Cio-
San. The dean Of the New York
critical corps recorded that Tamaki

the house by storm" AS subsequent
audiences. successfully larger and
more representative Of New Yorks
opera-going public, manifested the
same degree Of enthusiasm. that re-
viewers analysis Of the japanese

nificance:
The enthusiasm was entirely jus
tilted, for not only is her perform
ance authoritative, asno Occidental
conception can be, but she is a fine
actress, reminding one OF her great
countrywoman. Sada Yacco. As a
climax to these qualifications for
this role she has a voice Of unusual
beauty, power and fervor. Even
the white, thin quality Of the me
dunn voice is an asset in this part
as Tamaki Miura San seems to be
the child she is supposed TO be. She
is as gay and childlike. as full Of
laughter as any tiny Japanese
maiden Of fifteen would be, but
there is also remarkable dignity and

And when the time arrived fOf
the dainty, trusting and tender lit
tie japanese sweetheart to be con
fronted with the uncOmpromising
American wife Of her American
naval officer lover, she accepted her
fate like true Oriental. Simply
and with fatalistic lack Of hesita-
ton. and in becoming retirement
from the scene, she performed the
private and personal last rite Of
hara-kiri.
The audiences at the Manhattan
could not resist an appeal which
seemed so true to our Western ideal
of the japanese feminine character.
Here appeared the results of Tamaki
Miura's stage training on Occident-
allines. Instead Of the effect ofaloof-
ness, and the stolid mummery OF
Oriental actors in Oriental dramas
presented in the Oriental manner,
she demonstrated possession Of the
magnetic quality, in stage phrase
called personality" which is re-
garded by actors Of this country
and of Europe as their chief asset
for it enables them to get their
work over the footlights," that is,
to convince and hold the audience.
To some, however, It was sad that
so fine and novel a performance
should have been marred by lack Of
managerial judgment in casting the
character Of the hero's American
wife. A man in Pinkerton's posi-
ton, an offi:er in the United States

shock of that brutally assertive ap-

stoned little Oriental could have
been trusted to save the tragedy
with hari- kiri, anyway.
It viii be of interest to every play
and Opera-goer in this country
to know that this japanese prima
donna not only sings Occidental
music in the Occidental manner,
but acquired that art in her own
oOuntry-in TOkiO-where opera is
given as in Europe and America.

nual deficit, in spite OF the manage
ment's enormous subscription sales
Of seats and boxes. Where would
Mr.. Hammerstein find a CarusO, at
any price? And, lacking any such
means OF drawing several thousand
opera lovers past his box office at
the Manhattan for at least two or
three performances a week, how
could he stand the strain Of the
enormous ordinary expenses Of pro-
ducing grand opera?
But Mr.. Hammerstein had laid
foundations for grand opera other
than those Of the Manhattan Opera
House. First, he delighted New
York operagoers with a fascinating
revival of their favorite Carmen"
This lifted him safely over the first
hurdles. Then he played his trump
card. He astonished New York BY
presenting a highly efficient female
foil TO Caruso-Tetrazzini, who
proved TO be the most magnetic
eolOratura soprano ever heard in
the Eastern metropolis.

This feature-with the success OF
the real japanese Butterfly
points to a possibility Of another,
though lesser, opera war in New
York, with the Manhattan Opera
House as its storm centre-as be
fore. At present this prospect IS
somewhat remote owing to the fact
that the PavlOwa-Rabinoff organ
ization and the japanese Butterfly
are not yet a permanent New York
institution. Boston, Philadelphia.
Chicago and other large cities come
in for their attention, also. and they
do not expect to appear in New
York again until next Spring. It
may be well, just the same. to bear
in mind recent opera history in
New York.
Ten years ago. when Oscar Ham
merstein built the Manhattan Opera
House and announced his purpose
of becoming a grand opera impress
ariO in New York City, everybody
laughed-except those who wept
over the anticipated total wreck OF
the Hammerstein fortunes. How

ours SC seldom that
its advent assumes
the proportions Of an
event worthy of
more than casual
mention. Such a
departure from the
well-worn thorough
fare OF opera per-
formances in New York City
recently gave keen pleasure TO
jaded patrons Of that form of pub
lie entertainment, and, perhaps,
justified a hope Of further develop
ments along similar lines.
Last season, and for several Sea
sons past, Madame Butterfly" an
opera composed by Puccini with a
IibrettO adapted from BelaseO's
play with the same title, was the
most popular work in the repertory
Of the Metropolitan Opera Company.
Like the play, this opera depends
for its success mainly upon its Sc
ductiTe exotic scene and central
character. It enacts the affecting
love tragedy Of a naive and trust
ing japanese girl amid the sur
roundings and in the deity sug-
gested atmosphere of her native
home.
In presenting the opera Of
Madame Butterfly" however, the
lyric soprano enacting the role OF
heroine has been one or another of
several prima dome who bore not
the faintest resemblance to a jap
anese girl, nor seemed to have the
remotest conception Of the char
acter and national traits Of this en-
gaging heroine Of an international
tragedy They were Italian, French
or American-hopelessly Occidental
opera singers, and that was all.
Their interpretations cost the az

Of the charm felt in the reading Of
John Luther Longs little master
piece, namely. a INSTALLATION Of
the real japanese Cio-Cio-San, it's

Now. suddenly, this ponderous
error is corrected. and by the sim
plest and most direct means.
Madame Butterfly" is lifted out Of
commonplace by a singer
who is as japanese as the heroine,
Cio-Cio-San, herself capable op-
era lyric soprano born in Japan Of
japanese parents and educated and
trained in her art in Toxic.
Her name is Tamaki Miura, and
her opera introduction to Western
stands to the credit of
Nile. Anna Pavlows, the celebrated
Russian danseuse. Straight from
Toxic the japanese opera songbird

she appeared with the Imperial
