Carmen" as II was given last evc-
ming at the Metropolitan, might fittingly
have been termed Don Jose" Giovanni
Martinelli's conception of this character,
MS line dramatic sincerity and his ring
Ing vocalism were the prime factors of
artistic import.
His domination of the performance
was moreover. not subversive of the
basic content of the libretto. The in
fatuated Spanish dragon is the true
tragic figure of Prosper Merimee's classic
tale from which Meilhac and Halevy
derived somewhat freely their highly ef-
fective operate version. The capricious
gypsy cigarette girl is the shower role
until n brilliant dramatic tenor, such as
Mr.. Martinelli is. appears It's conven-
tional domination Is then placed in
jeopardy.
Inc situation was particularly strik-
ing last night, for while the masculine
principal sang more eloquently than any
Don Jose ever heard in this opera house
and depicted the character fully as vivid
ly as Charles Dalmores at his best, Ger
aldine Farrars Carmen betrayed much
palpable artifice and Iamentably little
voice. Her portrayal has certain SUPER
flcial dramatic value, but she misses the
deeper tragic significance at many
points notably in the thrilling "c'est
fini' passage of the final act and in the
fatalistic card scene
Pictorially she displays the same plas-
tic technique which has served her so
prosperously in motion pictures. She is
duly 1.-THE and graceful, but she would
do well TO discard the castanets in Pas
tia's tavern. She still plays them like
an amateur, and after the eloquence
extracted from these tricky little shells
OF chestnut wood by the genuine Car
mems now visible in 1.-The Land of
Joy" the contrast is peculiarly marked.
Throughout almost the whole per-
formance Madame Farrar's vocal tones
were dull and muddy. The seductive
"Fabanera" has seldom been less in

WEDDINGS.
Noyes-Greenman.


 With only immediate relatives at- tending the ceremony, Miss Lucy M. Greenman and Everett Moves of New Haven were married on Saturday af- ternoon at the home of the bride at 1T9 Laurel Hill avenue. Roses and syringea, with palms, carried out the color scheme of pink and white with lovely effect. and the ceremony was performed at o'clock by Rev. J. H. Selden, pastor of Broadway Congrega- tional church.
 The bridal party entered the room preceded by the two little flower girls, Agnes Lester Greenman and Elizabeth Starr Moves, nieces respectively of the bride and groom. They were in dainty white dresses an dcarried baskets of pink sweet peas. The groom with his best man, William H. Oat, was follow ed by the hatron of honor, Mrs. Will liam H. Oat, who preceded the bride. The brides. gown was embroidered white Georgette with veil mad she carried a shower bouquet of white roses and sweet peas. She wore a dainty necklace, the gife of the groom. The matron of honor was gowned in white Georgette with picture hat of the same material and carried pink roses.
 The newly married couple left dur ing the early evening on their bridal tour and will reside in New Haven, I where Mir. Moves is employed by the Marlin Rockwell company. He. is a brother of Charles D. Moves of Lincoln avenue and has resided in this city while in the employ of the Marlin Rockwell branch here, and he was chorister of the Central Baptist church while resident here. His bride has been a resident of Norwich all her life graduate of the Norwich Free Acad- eny and of the Norwich Art school Corhart-BIiss. At 4 o'clock Saturday afternoon in New London Miss Isadore Bliss, daughter of Mir. and Mrs. Chester 1 Bliss, became the bride of Amory $ Carhart, son of the late Mir. and Mrs Amory S. Carhart of New York. The ceremony was performed at the Pe- l quot chapel, Rev. Philip Markham Kerridge of St. James Episcopal church and Rev A. D. Wood of Tux edo Park officiating.
 Owing to the recent death of the bridegroom's mother. only a smai number of guests witnessed the cere- mony which was followed by an in- | formal reception at the summer home of the brides parents on Pequot ave- l nue.
 The groom is in the naval reserve | force.
