ciudes Monday night Of the following
week, when Amelita Galli-Curci will
make her New York debut in "Dinorah /"
winch has been one Of the most sue.
ccssful rcvivals Of the Chicago COM
pany.
The story Of "Isabeau" is as follows.
In his castle King Raimonde awaits
the arrival of the princes from abroad
VINO are coming to joust in the Lists
OF Courtesy, the victor to win the hand
OF isabeau, the daughter and only heir
OF the King. The crowd outside sings
the praise of Isabeau, who is returning
from pious pilgrimage. The digni-
tarles retire at the command Of the
King, who wishes to speak to her alone.
She enters, and to her greeting he
replies that he speaks as King and
not as father. Sho must discard the
mantle that has always hidden her
charms and show herself to best adj
vantage before the princely suitors
who are about to contest for her hand
In spite of her protests that she wishes
to be won by love, he commands her
to lay aside her modesty and piety and
appear in the most becoming arrav
before their guests.
AS Isabeau leaves to enter the ora
torio Giulietta, an old woman, enters
with her nephew Falco, dreamer and
an idealist. Cornelius, the Chan
cellor, confronts them, and, to their
idyllic fancy of presenting two white
doves to the Princess, answers with
command to leave the castle. Isabeau
reenters at this moment and bids them
stay, that she may hear the old wom-
ans story. Giulietta tells Isabeau that
she has come far to commend her only
beloved possessions--two white doves
and her nephew-to the possession and
protection of the Princess, for she
feels that the end of her own guardian
ship is nearing with the end of her
life. 1sabeau graciously accepts the
old woman's charges.
In the lists the Herald announces
each prince, recountlng his deeds Of
valor, riches and noble family, but
each one 1sabeau rejects, declaring
that she can marry only for love.
Enraged at his failure to pcrpetuate
his dynasty, the King orders the town
under martial law and directs the peo-
pie to go into mourning for the ap-
preaching end of the kingdom. Isa-
beau begs him to spare this punish
ment to the people, declaring herself
guilty of his dspleasure. He turns
his wrath upon her, commanding her
to expiate her disobedence and NOR
tlfy her obstinate modesty by riding
nude through the city streets at mid
day mounted upon a white horse. Al
though Mortified at this sentence, she
assents in order to escape from mar

men to marry his daughter. Xalca ad-
mlts his love and refuses to surrender
Azora, to which the priest replies with
warning and threats.
On the morning Of the feast of Totec
lives are to be sacrificed to the sun god
to bring military success against new
enemy. Tarascan. The ceremonies Of
the feast begin, the sacrificial victims
are brought forth. Montezuma notices
that his daughter Is not present, and
his sister Papantzin asserts that she
persuaded Azora to remain away from
these cruel rites, which she believes
wicked. Rebuked by the Emperor, Pa
pantzin describes vision in which she
has behcld the messenger of the true
god whose warriors shall come with a
cross as their emblem and triumph over
cruelty and superstition.
Montezuma is angered, but the ap-
rroach Of the enemy is heralded, so all
attention is given to the rites and prep
arations for battle. Xalca is sum-
moned and Montezuma places him in
command, promising him whatever he
may demand if he returns victorious.
Seeing chance to win Azora, the war
Slor accepts the appointment eagerly
and goes to the front.
When month has elapsed without
news Of Xalca, Canck tries to convince
Azora that her lover is dead. Ramatzin
urges his claim for her hand, humbly
q: first, but, being repelled, turns to
brutality. Canck intercedes, but she
dismisscs them both.
In the temple Montezuma and his
people appeal for aid. Ramatzin, about
to depart as commander of second ex-
redition, demands that first Azora be
formally bctrothed to him. The En-
pcror accedes, but Azora refuses. and
the cnraged Ramatzin accuses her of
loving Xalca. She proudly admits it.
and refuses her fathers final stern de-
mand, whereupon Montezuma decrees
death to Xalca.
Aalca returns victorious, and the EN-.

peror grimly tells him that sacrifice
shall celebrate the victory. Xalca
claims the hand of Azora as his reward,
but the monarch denounces him as an
alien slave. When his daughter pre-
sents further insistencc he declares
that they shall be joined only by the
hand of death.
In the hour before dawn Of the fol-
lowing morning Papantzin administers
the consultations of the coming new
faith to Azora in the Cavern of Sacri-
flee. Canek brings the final offer of
Montezuma to spare his daughters life
II she will wed Ramatzin, and she again
refuses. Xalca enters and begs her to
yield, but she is firm.
Montezuma appears and the people
gather for the sacrifice. Canek pre-
rares to dispatch the two lovers at the
instant when shaft of sunlight, ad-
r;1tted by cleft in the wall, rests upon
them as the mystic signal of the sun
goa. Voices are heard outside singing
the theme Of faith in the true God
which Papantzin predicted, and the
ceremony is arrested with awe.
In the entrance appears the Spanish
leader, Cortez, mounted on a white
charger and backed by warriors and
priests bearing banners of the Chris
tian religion.
The natives stand back in dismay as
the bearer Of the cross walks to the
altar while the Spanish priests chant.
Montezuma and his people call franti-
cally upon their god to protect them,

pears against the Christian conquest,
and the strains of "Gloria in Excelsis
Dec" proclaim the coming Of civiliza-
tion.

"Asaout aoVe and to save her
people from unmerited punishment,
IN the courtyard Of the castle the
populace is gathered to hear the de-
cree OF the King. An old man sur
gests that, whom Isabeau goes forth
Tor her ride of penance, all the
ooors and windows be barred, and that
every one remain indoors. Let anv

time be punished by having his ewes

her ordeal.
Having learned Of this outrage. her
devoted protege, Falco, rushes onto
the terrace and curses all responsible
for it. AS she passes below the ter
race he pelts her with flowers. Learn
ing of his disobediencc to their will
and denouncing his sacrilege in look
ing upon the nudo princess, the people
clamor for his life. Isabeau. returning
from her ride, is terrified at learning
OF his Jealous folly. To her ho calmly
says: Il am ready to die"
The shadows fall in another corridor
of the Kings castle as Isabeau de-
scends the stairs from the oratory sing
ing OF her newly discovered love for
falco. Giulietta rushes in and i'm
plores her to give her nephew back to
her' that he may escape his dreadful
fate. The princess promises that she
WILL save him, and leads the old woman
to his prison. The voices of the people
are heard outside as Falco enters and
again processes his love for Isabeau
and his Willingness to die, having once
more beheld her. She tells him that
his love is requited and entreats him
to flee. They pledge eternal devotion,
and lsabear leaves to tell her father
that she has at last obeyed his CON-
mand and chosen husband.
The crowd enters, seizcs Talco and
drags him out to q whipping post be-
hind drawn curtains to carry out their
sentence by binding him. Isabeau re-
enters and hastens out to rescue her
lover. The voices of the crowd with
out bewail the wounding Of their prin-
cess, and as the curtains are drawn by
the panic-stricken executioners the low
ers are seen in their last embrace.
The story of "Azora," which is also
new to New York, is this:
Xalca, prince of Tlascala, is nomi-
nally prisoner of war in Montezuma's
capital, but, having sworn allegiance to
the latter, has been intrusted with an
important command. The real reason
OF Aalca's loyalty to his conqueror is
his love for Montezuma's DAUGHTER.
Azora. She loves him secretly. her
father having destined her to marry
Ramatzln, titular chief Of Montezuma's
army.
Ramatzin, angry at Xalca's success
END popularity, becomes more bitter at
the suspicion Of Azora's love for him.
To Canek. fanatical high priest, he tells
his suspicion of Xalca and Azora
Canek warns Xalca of Montezuma's
pride Of race, which would permit none
