DOUBLE BILL GIVEN
AT THE METROPOLITAN
Metropolitan Presents Italian
and German Operas at
Poplar Street

Perhaps It Is because the season is
waning and but two operatic perform
ances remain in the regular season per-
haps II was due us that Cnruso should
sing and sob again; perhaps II was a
matter Of artistic necessity. At any
rate Il was success and 1T refers to
the combination, in one bill. of "Haensel
und Gretel" and IT Pagliacci" The
audience was of Caruso size, and 1t Is
to be hoped that great number came
to hear "Haensel und Gretel
That opera, first given Included in Its
cast no established star except the good
Otto Goritz, who looked like n drunken
Laird and was nightly pleasant to hear
with his chuclSlng beery bass. Mr.
Goritz, however, was q known quantity,
assumed and counted upon for good en-
tertainment. The other names. Mines.
Mason, Mattfeld, Robson. Warrum and
Sparkes and Mr.. Relss are nowhere near
so familiar. and yet It was upon them
that the work devolved, and It was they
who made the evening so almost dellrious-
ly enjoyable. The amount Of good sing
ing very nearly coincided with the amount
of singing there was to be done, The
heartness and fantastic humors of the
acting were unlimited, and If Miss Mason
eNcelled In them II was probably because
her opportunities were greatest She
literally danced rings around Nine Matt
field, who was an agreeable, II somewhat
laggard Haensel and the amount OF
energy she could put into her irrespon-
sible pirouettings about the stage with
out prejudice to her singing was ex-
traordinary. Her voice is strong and
pleasing; In this opera at least the occa.
sion for nuance Is restricted but Miss
Mason gives precious little reason for
suspecting her ability to discriminate.
It was her evening and she made the
most of It.
There was actually some illusion In the
scenes in the forest and, with its cir
sets and properties, the Met
ropolitan did wonders. But what stood
out after the singing was the excellence
of the orchestra under Mr.. Richard Hage-
man. Mr.. Hageman himself scored the
of actually making the audi
ence shut UP during the intermezzo, and,
Mr.. Bodansty's failure to do
as much for the prelude to Tristan und
Isolde" a week ago, it is an achievement.
The orchestra Is one or the finest organ
iSations given to periodical visits to this
city, and for whatever neglect they have
suffered before, in these reports of oper-
attic doings let this be recompense. Labor
ing with steadiness of public perform
lnce, under many different directors, and
with a variety Of conditions unknown to
the symphony orchestra, the men of the
pit have acquired an ad-
mirable and desirable standard of excel
ence. "Haensel und Gretel" is not one of

THE INSTITUTION, CON-
TRIBUTES MUSIC.
REMARKABLE ORGANI zAIIO N
Played Excellent Music At Academy
Opening With Only One Practice
Another Band May be Engaged to
Assist.

To assist in the celebration at the
Better Corn Show on Monday, Octo-
Der 9, Col. o. C. Hulvey, president OF
the Columbia Military Academy, has
given the services of the school band
on that day. The organization is in
many ways the most remarkable that
has ever been assembled at the Acad-
envy. At the formal opening of the
school, the band, with only one night
of practice, rendered difficult selec-
tions. The townspeople who attended
the exercises were most favorably i'm
pressed with the organization. Since
school has been in session, frequent
practices have perfected the music
making qualities of the band; and, by
the time the corn show is held, one OF
the best organizations in the state will
play for the entertainment of the
large number of visitors who will at
tend the festival
Another band, the Culleoka one, may
be engaged by the officials Of the
show, but they believe that the Co
lumbia Military Academy band will
be able to make enough music for the
guests of the city.
Within the next few days the pre-
MUM list for the festival will be
mailed out to all people in the county
who desire to know how and what to
show. Substantial prizes are offered
in many departments, although corn
will receive the greatest attention.
The judges of the show have not as
yet been announced by the officials,
but they will be selected and named
within the coming week.
