Butterfly" as Mascagni had done in
Girls" Giordano, illustrating story
of political oppression in siberia,
called in the aid of Russian melodies.
His cxiles sang the heavy-hearted meas
ures Of the bargemen Of the Vol ga,
CAV ouchnem." the power Of which few
Russian composers seem able to resist.
There were also strains Of Easter
music Of the Greek Church. of popu-
lar song known TO Germans az
"Schonc Minka" and Of the GLORY
song ("Slava"O which Moussorgsky had
fashioned into choral thunderbolt.
though Of that fact the world was then
in ignorance. IL is stranger GOMEZ
dence that the "Slava" melody OF
"Siberia's" score should have cropped
up in the opera of Boris Godounow'
than that the same revolutionary airs
should pepper the pages of Madame
Sans-Gene" that gave fierce life 70
andrea Chenier." The operas are
allied in subject and period and the
same style Of composition is followed
I'm both. Chenier goes to his death TO
the tune of the "Marseillaise,' and the
mob marches past the windows OF
Caterina Hubscher's laundry singing
the refrain of Roget de Isles hymn.
The infammable spirit of present-mo-
ment Italy has made 1t seem wise TO
the authorities TO cut out the hymn az
performances now giving, but the de-
corous mood of our people will save US
from any such necessity here, where
we have nobody to censor our operas.
Giordsno does not make extensive
use of the national hymn OF France;
il appears literally at the place men
toned and surges up with fine effect
in a speech in which the Countess OF
Danzig overwhelms the proud sisters
of Bonaparte, but that is practically
all The case is different with the two
revolutionary songs whose history was
discussed in this journal last Sunday.
Their melodies are not go widely known
in America now as they were century
and q quarter ago, and so they are re-
produced here as sort Of thematic
guide TO many pages Of Giordano's
score. The first crash Of the orchestra
launches US into LA Cnrmsgnole."

new THEATRE FOR
NEW-THEATRE IDEA
1t Depends on Success of
Granville Bankers
Present Season.

j. was learned definitely yesterday
that n the coming season OF dramatic
performances a. Wallack's Theatre
under the management OF Granville
Barker is 4 success, Mr.. Barker will be
made the director of revived New
Theatre which will be opened in New
York in the autumn. The hackers Of
the new enterprise are practically the
same men who founded the old New
Theatre, now the Century Opera House,
and the plan that will be followed will
be similar TO the one put into effect
under the leadership Of Winthrop Ames
that Of a repertory theatre to present
high class plays.
The fatal mistake made in the orig
inal institution will, however. be avoid
ed by the choice of playhouse seat
ing probably not more than 200 per-
sons. With such an auditorium II IS
believed that the plan of a repertory
theatre can be carried to success. Mr..
Barker will manage the New Theatre
i'm conjunction with a similar house in
London, a plan which he believes will
facilitate productions and the engage
ment Of actors.
One Of the supporters Of Mr. Bar
ker's present season told Tribune re-
porter yesterday Of the hopes he enter
tanned.
"The New Theatre idea has never
died. An attempt was made TO develop
il in An auditorium that was too large
for the proper presentation OF plays,
except the most spectacular ones. The
running expenses Of the house were
enormous. Yet the audiences we're al
ways of good size, and we feel that IN
more intimate surroundings the scheme
would have been a success.
what we have been looking for IS a
man to build up the theatre about.
Given the man. we believe its success
is assured. We feel that Mr.. Barker
will prove to be that man, and if his
present season is success he Will
probably assume the dictatorship of q
revived New Theatre, which he will
manage in connection with his London
repertory house.
"Much depends upon the popular re-
Spouse to the performances about TO
open in Wallack's Theatre. If the pub
lie wants a high class repertory COM
pany in New York, let it now show its
desire by patronizing Mr.. Barker
season.
