and then he quite equelled Meyerbeer,
who in "LAfricaine' proved himself to
be a .consummate Juggler OF toes In
the fourth act we return to our familiar
master of the 'TrovRtore" and "Rigo-
letto' manner. Occasionally one notes a
phrase that might have been In the score
OF "Traviata," but after all where there
iE 80 much ''pieta" and "addlo' we can
not hope for new musical formula.
The work was worth reviying. Its
pages are indeed reminiscent ofthe COM
posers earlier creations, but the melo-
lies are new and they have the traits
OF directness In line and In rhythmic
march so strongly characteristic OF this
masters old works. Any half dozen of
the young italian school might be glad
to plumber such a score to stock their
own slender treasures.
The production was excellent. As
usual at the Metropolitan the scenery
was one Of the stars OF the evening. 1t
Is all new and all good. from the Sierra
Nevada fastness of Leonora to the Glen
wood Mission Inn where Alvdro Is In
cloistered residence.
Two Interesting Debuts.
The production was further made
memorable by the debut OF new So
praho, a young woman, said to have
been born in Meriden, Conn.,. discovered
on the vaudeville stage and never before
heard in opera. II Rosa Poncelle never
sang in opera before last night she must
have been born with a ready made rou-
tine. However that may be, she is the
proud possessor of one of the most volup-
tuous dramatic soprano voices that pres
ent day opera goers have heard.
Some day doubtless Miss Poncelle will
learn how TO sing, and then she will be
an artist. At this moment she Is al
most naive in method. But che has the
precious gift Of voice and she has real
temperament, not the kind that drives
people into acrobauc excursions all over
the stage and to wild shriekS Of vocal
anguish. but the kind that makes itself
felt IN the eloquent quality Of tones and
the accumulation of melody. Her debut
was very interesting. and we hope an
incident of the evening having perma-
nent Importance.
The other debutante was Alice Gentle,
who was entrusted with the impersona-
ton of the vampire lady. Her proceed
ings were marked by immense activity
and a carefully elaborated vib-ato.
AS for Mr.. Caruso, he is always him
self. no matter what the costume or the
circumstances. His treatment of the
role OF AlvGro was sincere, and he sang,
as he customarily does in these days.
with vast amount Of vigor and declam-
atory emphasis. Mr.. de Luca was a
suitable operate companion in the role
of Carlo Mr.. Mardones pontificated as
the Abbot with much orotundity, and
NJ. Chalmers made a clever sketch o.
Brother Mi!ttone. He was an excea-
tionally good singer for a buffo, as he Is
usually a serious barytone.

MRS. WHTTNEY'S ART
GALLERIES REOPEN
Ernest Lawson, an American
FavOrite, Presents Some
Brilliant Landscapes.
REVIVAL is WELCOMED
Guy Pene du Bots Is Satirical
in His Pictures, but Does
Not Caricature.

Another sign that peace has surely
come was the opening OF an art exhibit
ton yesterday in the galleries attached
to Mrs. Henry Payne whitney's studio
20 West Eighth street These galleries.
1t will be remembered. rellnquished the
series OF shows planned for last winter
and were given over to certain war ac-
tivities. This prompt revival. with the
coming OF peace, will have a cheering
effect upon the studio district south OF
Washington Square, which as an indus
trial centre, has been badly hit by the
war
Two artists figure in the present ex-
hibition, and both are already well
known. Ernest Lawson and Guy Pene du
Bois. They have the advantage OF show
ing In newly decorated rooms. and this
time IT is a real advantage. The gal
leries have been done over IN an ashen
purple color, with hangings OF gold. The
purple proves to be especially fortunate
for Mr.. Lawson's landscapes which have
not been seen before to such effect In
New York.
Added to this. certain of Mr.. Lawsons
pictures are in themselves OF special Inn
portance, eclipsing any that he has
shown In recent years. He has been pro-
life and popular. and sometimes IL has
seemed as though this artist were afraid
of his own popularity. He has always
been much admired for his color. and
certain landscapes that were bathed in
greenish light were so much praised
that for time II seemed that Mr.. Law
son intended to regard the world through
green lenses until the end OF time.
Although the masses never viii be-
lieve ii, Il is bad for an artist to repeat
successes. 81 II was a fortunate moment
for Mr.. Lawson when he lest his green
lenses acme years ago HIS color gained
Immediately in richness without losing
the essential Lawson" quality. In the
present show there are three pictures
that mark the continued advance. All
three are fine in color but have some
thing also that Ia finer even than color
and that is poetic feeling.
II Is a matter for general congratula-
ton that three such charming pictures
should have been painted by an Ameri-
can. AS It is difficult to give identifying
titles to these landscapes, II may be suf
fcient for the student to know that the
three canvases referred to are the two
small landscapes by the windows and the
large one in pale green by the central
door,
To show that the purple background
Is not a special invention OF M. Law
sons, Mr. Du Bois's new pictures look
we'll upon II. too. This artist is satirical.
He is not an out and out carlcaturist
like Mr.. Sloan. and does not deal in such
definable material He paints figure
pieces that not every one understands,
but which leave n vague feeling OF
mockery behind them Like Mr.. Sloan
however. he seems TO be more at ease
when holding a mirror up to poor hui
man frailties than when settling down
seriously to paint the great American
landscape.

LEON SAMPAIX PLAYS
PIANO IN RECITAL
ShoWs Good Technic, but Is
Not ProdigaI in Color.

Leon Sampaix. director OF the must
cal apartment in the University of
Syracuse, gave his deferred piano re-
eital in Aeolian Hall yesterday after
noon. Mr.. Sampa!x was to have given
II on the day when the false story of
the armistice set the town wild, and the
siren Of the fire engine across the street
from the hall made sounds which would
have caused even Mark Hamburg to
throw up his hands. One result OF the
postponement was that Mr.. Sampaix
had a small audience.
He played Bach's chromatic fantasia
and fugue, Chopin's r fiat minor sonata
pieces by Scarlatti, Saint-Saens, Albenitz
and Granados. He proved to be q
player of the professional type. equipped
with generally good technic, normal tone
and taste. but with no great variety OF
color or expression.
