BOSTON GRAND OPERA
CLOSES With BOHEME
Pavlowa's Spanish Dances Riot of
Bright Color and Sensuous
Rhythm.

I have never seen a more even per-
formance of Boheme than that given to
a rather poor house last night by the
Boston Opera Company. 1t is not an
opera In which the distance of history
lends enchantment to the view. 1t is not
tragedy. but pathos which Is more emo
tionaI stuff and leaves proportionally
less to the imagination. Juliet and
Brunhilde can be in the 30o-pound class
and over. but a buxom Mimi or a pious
looking Dutch Musetta are impossible.
But Miss Maggie Teytc makes just the
pathetic little figure that Muergers
grizette must have been while Miss FL
vira Amazar was the bold and vivacious
Musetta to a hair.
The keynote of the whole opera is a
carefree light heartedness. All are of
the ephemeridae and there is something
swift and easy about the death of Mimi
that accentuates the pathetic unimpor-
tance of il all. Miss Teyte's singing of
the aria in the third act was magnifi
cent. Ricardo Martins Rodolpho is too
well known in America to need praise.
Thomas Chalmers makes a good Marcello
though his voice is not quite equal TO
carrying over the rather forte orchestra
ton that goes with this part. GiorGio
Puliti has a splendid basso and sang the
coat song well through without the
suggestion of pose" which it seems to
demand. The ebullient Colline was well
rendered by Jose Mardones The parts
of Benoit and Alcindoro were taken by
Paolo Ananian. Parpicnol by Palmiro
Aleotti and the Sergeant by Micaelo Ger
nusco. Moranzoni again conducted.
The Spanish dances which followed the
opera can only be described as a mov-
ing riot of colour. light and sinuous fig
ures with a will of the wisp Carmen

costume-or was it a shot blue costume
