And the average sensual man, which
means the average normal man, will
ever find Faust" agreeable to his taste,
as he found il yesterday-provided
that II is given as it deserves.
For the success of yesterdays re-
vival we must give first credit to NJ
Monteux, whose vigorous yet ex-
quisitely refined reading Of the score,
whose authority of manner. whose
sympathy, pervaded alike orchestra
and singers Four years ago a per-
formance OF Faust" at the Metropoi
tan had its singers going north. south
and east, with the orchestra headed d
west; yesterday it found well CO.
ordinated ensemble, participated in by
artists who knew the ideals of French
song. Let US doff our hats to NJ.
Monteux. He has accomplished the
impossible!
When Nine. Geraldine Farrar first
appeared as Marguerite she did vio-
lence to nearly every canon Of Gallo
taste.
Yesterday her Marguerite was an ex-
Guisite creation, sincere, spontaneous,
beautifully composed. Her singing Of
the love scene in the garden was such
singing as Nine. Farrar never before
vouchsafed, and this in spite of the
fact that she was not in the opening
scene in her best voice. 1t is long
road that Nine. Farrar has travelled
as Marguerite, but at last she has ar
rived at Gounod.
NJ. Rothier has always been On excel
lent and debonair Devil, and he he's
gained in righteousness and in cynical
bravado. OF him n fine performance
was expected, and he did not disap-
point.

Blind Lecturer Here
To Become a Priest
Pope Grants Special Dispensa-
ton to Henry Wolming, of
St. Francis Xavier's

Pope Benedict has granted to Henry
Woffling, a member Of the Society Of
Jesus, and blind for the last nine years,
the dearest hope OF his life. Before
a month passes Wofiing will be or
dained q priest Of the Roman Catholic
Church. That this might be accom-
plished, the Pope has ignored prece-
dent.
The Catholic law orders that those
who serve in the priesthood must be at
the time Of their ordination as nearly
perfect as possible, physically as we'll
as mentally. Woffling Is certainly the
first blind man ever to be admitted to
the priesthood in America, perhaps in
the world.
Il was his blindness which turned
Woffing to intimate service in the
church of which he will become a
priest within the next month. Nine
years ago, when he was only twenty
five. he was professor Of chemistry in
Canisius College, Boston. During an
experiment, the chemicals exploded
and Woffing was blinded for life.
Immediately he turned to the
Church, and entered Woodstock Col
lege, the famous Jesuit seminary in
Maryland. Sightless, he was not dis
couraged nor apparently hampered,
for he stood with the first men in his
class.
From Woodstock, he went to George
town to continre his theological stud
les. Here too, he won honors not
only for his ability, but for his un-
falling patience and cheerfulness.
Eighteen months ago he came to the
Church Of St. Francis Xavier here.
Since then he has been giving instruc-
tion to converts.
"He has always been hopeful; never
has he exhibited tinge of melan-
choly," Father White, of st. Francis
Xavier, said last night.

Hotel Biron, which was purchased by
the government for s1000,000, to be
used as his home. studio and gardens
during his life.
The final outburst of his career came
when. shortly before his death. Rodin
decided to the French government his
entire art collection, naming as one OF
the conditions that he should be per-
mitted to retain the studio of the Ho-
tel Biron, but that his collection should
remain in it and that it should become
a Rodin museum after his death.
His associates at once raised storm
of criticism against permitting a living
artist TO select for himself a place in
history by thus erecting. without cost,
his own monument. The criticism was
so great that the acceptance OF the gi1t
was Temporarily halted. Later, how
ever it was accepted and his former
home from now on will be the Musee
Rodin.

tinelli, Thomas Chalmers, Raymorde
Delaunois and Kathleen Howard. Mr.
Martinelli as Faust was really superb
evocation, both vocally and dramati-
cally. His singing of the "Sqlut De-
meure" was splendidly accomplished.
His voice, especially his upper tones,
has rarely, perhaps never before
sounded so full and powerful. Faust
has at last returned t. us, Mr. Chal-
mers was making his debut at the
Metropolitan, and his Valentin, a dif-
hcult part even for veteran, made an
instant and profound Impression.
Mr.. Chalmers's voice J.. a light barry
tone Of beautiful quality, and one
which is produced with rare ease.
While no means of large volume, it
carries well, though he never under
took TO force it, Moreover. his feeling
Tor the grace of the French style, It's
nuanee, It's feeling, was admirable, while
OF the character he gave a manly, a
distinguished, forceful portraiture.
MS death scene was acting Of high
order, and the ovation he received from
the audience was we'll deserved Miss
Delaunois sang her air very effectively,
and Nine. Howard made Of Marthe, for
the first time it has beer made in New
York in many years, portrait incisive
and humorous.
The settings by Joseph Urban were
uneven in merit; Faust's study and
the cathedral scene possessed atmos-
phere, but the stiff fat flowers of the
garden were an offence. The intro
duction OF the Walpurgis Night scene
gave an opportunity for scene strong
" reminiscent Of Alma-Tadema and
for some exquisite dancing by Miss
Rosina Cali. Aside from this its in
clusion meant nothing.
This was the cast:

New York Symphony Or
chestra Accompanies a Re-
producing Piano in Concert

A concert Of distinctly unusual
nature took place last night at Aeollan
Hall, when, for the first time in
America, a symphony orchestra ap-
peared on concert stage accompany
ing 4 reproducing piano. The piano
was the Duo Art reproducing piano
and the orchestra was tie New York
symphony, under the direction Of
Water Daprosch.
The piano played tne SOLO part OF
the Saint. t.Ssan, G-miror concerto aad
the orchestra accompanied it, Harold
Bauer having made the record II was
really d reSarkabIe performance. the
coordination between orchestra and m
strument being perfect, while it took
no great stretch of Imagination to
visualize Mr. Bauer himself at the
keyboard.
OF course. it would be idle TO state
that the living pianist was not missed.
for machinery. no matter how per-
fectly adjusted, can never replace the
soul. but it was certainly a wonderfully
close approximation to the original Mr
Bauer, probably as close one es de-
vice ever has approached. The play
ing of the piano brought forth from
the large audience both warm enthu-
sigsm and amusement when the piano
would suddenly dash into a particu-
larly brilliant bit Of work.
The orchestra itself under Mr.. DAM
rosch's direction, also played the over
ture to Weber's "0beron," and the
adagio from Saint-Saens Second SYM
phony."
The second New York Symphony
Orchestra Concert for Young People
with John Powell as the sololst, took
ulace Yesterday afternoon at Carnegie

the concert was Mr.. Poweil's playing
Of Liszt's Hungarian Fantasia" twas
a performance in which was revealed
beauty of tone, strong rhythmic sense,
and fine appreciation for climatic Ell.
feet. He was warmly applauded and
recalled several times. =,
