genius From the exquisite strains
of the opening scenes TO the thun-
dering chords of the climax, Mr..
Elbel kept the interest Of his audi
ence at high pitch. conveying with
consummate skill the mystery, the
overshadOwins gloom, the gripping
tragedy of this most peculiar opera.
The story is that Of a beautiful
young girl. who, lost in a deep wood,
is found by Golaud, a prince, who,
though much older than she, in
duces her TO marry him. He takes
her 10 his castle in a primeval for

love with his younger brother,
Pelleas. Pelleas returns her love.
They meet secretly Golaud suspects
them. spies upon them and at last
following them one night 10 their
trysting place, he kills Pelleas
Melisande, as a result of the shock,
falls i'll and dies without revealing
TO Golaud the truth of her relations
with Pelleas.
When Claude Debussey wrote
his score for Pelleas and Melisande
ms aim was TO produce in sound as
shadOwy an atmosphere as Maeter-
iinck had given in his play. He
achieved his end by overriding all
musical conventions in form and
phrasing. In place of arias which
hitherto had been the most i'm
portant feature Of the opera, he sup
piled a most unique orchestration
consisting Of short phrases design
ed TO adhere strictly TO the emotion
/ al suggestion of the lines of the
drama. He endeavored TO reproduce
in sound even the physical aspects
and settings of the drama and to
make each phrase contribute TO the
weird suggestion of the whole.
The play is in five acts and Is
/ scenes and the characters are

Why don't you get 10-cent box of
Cascarets at any drug store and give
your liver and thirty feet of bowels

They don't bother you all next day
