WEEK OF VIOLENT
DEATHS PROMISED

SO lengthy is the list of murders and
tragedies of the operatic stage that the
gentle assassinations of Nero, Luoretia Bor-
gla, Herod and other celebrated humani-
tarians of history appear like the tender re-
cital of the benefactlons of n modern char
table organization. Never since the first
prma donna warbled forth her initial ca
denza or the primordial ,self-effacing tenor
sang his couplets to the property moon has
there been grand opera without murder.
If the plot was not built on bloodshed, 1t
was not grand opera. Matricide seems to
be the sine qua non of this most elevating
and most plutocratic Of the arts. Is there
any special Significance In the association
of the two adjectives? l wonder, as Nat
Goodwin says.
Take Marguerite, for instance, which role
Maggie Teyte will sing when the Boston
National Grand Opera gives its season here
the week of November IS. Poor little
Gretchen. She not only commits infanticide,
but her brother and all kinds of relatives
die or get murdered as a result of her
fall from grace Besides, Faust Is sent to
help popHlate the village greens Of the
Internal regions, and there is the devil to
pay generally. Then look at petite "Madama
Butterfly" She only kills herself, but II Is
a gruesome act at best, and the tear vials
are In abundant evidence when the final
curtain falls. Iris" another Oriental hero
inc who Is also crossed in love, jumps or
Is pushed into a vile-smellng sewer. At
least that is what the libretto says, but the
audience thanks its stars that the produc-
tion has not been staged by David Belasco.
"The Love of Three Kings" literally reexs
with death. Everybody gets murdered but
the chorus, and as grand opera choruses
have never competed with the Folies in
puchritude. one might wish that II were
the other way around. Mimi In la Bo-
heme" demises with the lingering agonies

GRACE is DEMANDED
OF CONDUCTORS:
STRANSKY HAS 1T

Military band conductors are more or
less given to heavily accentuated gesticu-
lation in directing their musical forces.
Some of them, in fact, draw audiences who
are as Interested I'm watching the conduc-
tors gymnastic gyrations as in listening to
the band.
Conductors of symphonic orchestras, as
rule, are noted for the ease and grace OF
their movements. One of these Is Josef
Stransky, conductor Of the New York Phil
harmonic Orchestra, which plays In the
Academy of Music Monday evening, Novem-
ber 10. for the first time in this city since
the death of Gustav Mailer.
"'The presence of Stranslty is reassurlng,"
writes musical critic in giving pen-pic-
ture of the man and his work HE is digni-
fed and OF a serious mien. with a face that
shows but family the satisfaction in an
audiences enthusiasm. His mood of direct
ing is absorbed. eloquent and graceful. His
peculiar style OF the dainty, pohing beat has
largely been swallowed up in wider mo-
ton.
"As he turned to direct the concerto, one
caught hints OF grace which were not so
noticeahly apparent when he stood with his
back to the audience. He makes no un-
necessary motion. and there is absolutely
nothing wild or frantic about him. 1t IL
all smooth and easy, even when he works
up to stressful climaxes.
'In his impersonal and concentrated at
tention TO the task in hand there is not the
smallest sign of consciousness or gallery
play. He seems TO forget everything but
the work of the moment. His performance
is the embodiment of the poetry Of motion,
and through II all appear the masters grip
on the subject in hand and the absolute con-
troll of the forces under his direction"

Tobin and Mcintyre Here To-
day, and Report Bright
Prospect for Site Eleven.

Elgle TObin and "Monty" Mcintyre,
coaches OF the West Virginia football
team for the present season, were in
Clarksburg today on their return from
jaunt over the southern part Of the
state in the interest OF athletics gen
orally for the university and especial
ly In the interest OF the football team
The canvass of the state. which is
just about closed, by these coaches
brings to light the fact that of all the
football material OF West Virginia
which will enroll in various colleges
this fall, in the state and out OF the
state, at least eighty per cent OF
the football material will enroll at
West Virginia University,
Football prospects at the little city
down the river are most encouraging
and the outlook is great one. That
West Virginia is going ahead and even
be better than the championship team
of last fall, is the opinion Of many
who are in close touch with the Stu
alton.
OF the varsity squad OF thirty play
ers for last season, only five will be
lost, and only one OF these five was
regular the past season. And at
that there Is still a possibility of this
regular coming back for another year
Of study and football.
The varsity will open September
30 with the University Of Pennsyl-
yanla, on franklin field, Philadelphia.
U. of P. has a new coach in Bob
Fowell, the man who put Washington
and jefferson on the football map. Re-
ports come from Philadelphia that
Fowell will have a most promising
squad to pick from-that his squad
will number at least 200 players. The
call is out for these men to report on
September 10. and this fact alone
shows that the old Washington and
Jefferson coach knows West Virginia's
strength and does not intend TO be
caught mapping and with defeat for
the first game Of the season.
On the other hand Coaches Mcln-
tyre and Tobin are Just as determined
that Penn will start the season with
a defeat as Penn is that West Virginia
will fall short on Franklin field. West
Virginia has never defeated the Uni
versity Of Pennsylvania, but this year
a special effort will be made to start
what looks like a successful season
with a victory. Penn was victorious
by one touchdown last year over West
Virginia.
Present reports indicate that on this
years squad the names of several
Clarksburg boys will appear. These
boys are sure to be heard from before
tho season Is over. Coaches Mcintyre
and Tobin expressed their regret that
the varsity did not play in this city
this fall. Both of these men wanted
to play here, especially for the large
alumni situated here and which is one
of the liyest, wide-awako crowds Of
old grads" of any city in the state.
