MAUDE FAY MAKES DEBUT
Well Received az Sieglindc at Metro
politan.

A singer new TO New York, yet an
American and of great repute in Ger
many, made her debut at the Metro
politan Opera House last night in Ole
Walkure." Miss Maude Fay is one OF
the chief sopranos of the Munich
Opera, and her Sieglinde, the part she
sang last night, is said 10 be her best
known role.
Miss Fay proved herself 70 be wom-
an of statucsque beauty, possessed OF
charm, graciousness Jf manner and
much temperament. Her diction was
clear, her poses plastic, her conception
Of the character clear cut, yet imagina-
tive. II was said officially that she was
slightly indisposed, which may have ac-
counted for the exceeding weakness Of
h,- middle and lower tones.
Under the circumstances il would be
manifestly unfair 10 Judge finally her
vocal powers. She is certainly an artist
Of sound schooling. and the possessor
Of a keen hstrlonic sense. She was
warmly greeted after the tirst act and
called before the curtain numberless
times.
Johannes Sembach sang the music Of
Siegmund with feryor, but gave the
Spring Song scant justice. Mr.. Braun s
Wotan IS an old acquaintance, and 80
are Mr.. Ruysdaels Hunding and Nine.
Gadsk's Brunnhilde, while Nine. Homer
returned to US as Fricka 10 the mani
fest delight of her many admirers. Mr..
Bodanzky conducted with his usual
clarity OF detail and balance OF tone, al
ways giving the singers a chance TO be
heard, yet never forgetting that the
orchestra had its effects to be obtained

which possess that ghost-story quality.
Not alone do they haunt they start!e
and waylay. "In the Dark" sung by
Mitzi, with a male chorus accompani-
ment, seems destined for preservation
on red-seal recorder is the color
purple? And Evelyn" and Kiss Me"
will certainly soon be played in hotel
restaurar is by request.
Mitzi Is first Paulette, musical
comedy star. II is the first night and
she is 20 play the part of Pom-Pom,
the sneak thief. While she is in cos
tune, burglars come TO steal her jewels,
and four trusty Keystone policemen,
under the leadership of the incorrigible
Tom McNaughton, capture her by mis-
take. She is taken TO the prison with
two real burglars, and for protection
pretends that she is really Pom-Por,.
They all make their scape over one OF
Josef Urban's non-shakable stage walls,
and the second act takes place in tho
Black Elephant, the den of thieves.
Here Mitzi encounters probably the
strangest chorus that ever trod the
boards. The frst-liners were eight
blond shoplifters. Directly behind
them romped a row Of destitute
mothers, with children in arms. Next
a division of beggars. labelled "Please
Help the Blind" followed by rear
guard OF wooden-legged orphans.
IL may be questioned whether the
subject matter of this chorus was IN
excellent taste, but, judged strictly on
its merits as "a chorus, no fairer shop
lifters, no more radiant beggars, ever
disported in lowly dive. The wisdom,
however, of troupe OF maldens VINO
faunt hickory stumps where genera
tions of musical comedy ilrst-nighters
have come to look for something else,
is open to dispute.
The thieves are suspicious lot, and
N;tzi has many trying experiences, but
her cleverness always happens TO save
her In the den she has an opportu-
nity to burlesque a circus with the aid
of Tom McNaughton, which provides
the best acting of the evening. with
brown rug and two loaves OF French
bread McNaughton gave a fiawless imi-
tation of one of Powers's elephants.
Soon Mtzi discovers that one of the
robbers is a detective, a man who once
saved her from committing suicide, and
a romance which started sadly at the
riverside is happily concluded in the
thieves den.
Altogether, "Pom-Pom" is as bright
and zippy as its name. And Mitzi is
even more SO.

GIVES SECOND RECITAL
Paul Reimers's Programme Includes a
Group of Folksongs.

Paul Reimers gave his second song
recital and lecture yesterday afternoon
at the Princess Theatre. He sang
Bach's "Komm. susser Tod; Beetho-
ven's adelaide" and Der Kuss" and
Schumann's "Dichter's Genesung," ""Alte
Iaute." Der Soldat,' Die Neerfee"
and "Provencalisches Lied" He also
offered a group Of international folk
songs of German, Norwegian, Hunga-
rian, Italian, Swiss, Portuguese, Breton
and Scotch origin. lie prefaced these
with a short and very sound talk on
phrasing. using Schumann's "Du blst
vie cine Blume" as an illustration.
Mr.. Reimers's singing lacks robust
ness; but, on the other hand. it shows
taste, intelligence and genuine sympa-
thy. His voice, though small. Is ex-
ceedingly appealing. Mr. Relmers was
heard b. a friendly audience.

THE Pianiet's Speed.

Astonishing statistics have been gaths
cred with reference to the amount Of
work accomplished by the brain and
nerves in piano playing.
A pianist In view or the present state
OF pianoforte playing has to cultivate
the eye to see about 1900 signs in one
minute, the fingers to make about 900
movements and the brain to receive
and understand separately the 1900
signs while it issues 1900 orders. In
playing Webcr's "MOtO Perpetuo'' "a
pianist has to read 4,541 notes in lit
lie under four minutes. This is about
nineteen per second, but the eye can
receive only about ten consecutive i'm
pressions per second, so that it is evil
dent that in very rapid music II player,
does not see each note singly, but ratl.
er sees them in.groups, probably, u bar
or more at one vision. In Chopin's
"Etude' in f minor, in the second set,
the speed of reading, is still greater.

equivalent to about twenty-six notes
