LIE PROPHETIC SUNG
WITH HIGH SUCCESS
Carus0 as jean Of Leyden
:. Gives a Dignified
DelineatiOn.

Meyerbeer's lie P.ophete," with Mr.
Caruso in the title role. was given for
the first time this season yesterday af-
ternoon at the Metropolitan Opera
House. The work was revived with
great success by Mr.. Gatti-Casazza last
season. following a period Of eight years
silence. It's revival seemed due in part
TO the need OF material in place OF the
German operas discontinued and also in
part TO give Mr.. Caruso an opportunity
20 find another field for displaying his
powers in heroic roles.
Yesterdays performance was heard by
n large audience and interest In Il was
apparent. The representation had spec

Munster Cathedral served as great
climax in the third act. The explosion
followed by the collapse of the banquet
hall at the end of the opera. though here
all did not go quite smoothly owing to n
mechanical slip. was another remarkable
feature. The skating ballet in the sec
ond act was as usual a pleasing Incident
in a succession OF stage pictures which
varied rapidly from those OF gloom to
others picturesque in splendor
The score containing much music of
only hollow worth and much of genuine
melodious value was conducted with fine
skill by Mr.. Bodanzky. Mr. Caruso as
Jean Of Leydeh repeated his artistic rep
resentation of last season. His delinea-
ton had the qualities OF dignity and
imposing mystic power and he sang with
superb voice and with vocal skill.

PLENTY or WORK
FOR WOMEN LIKELY
Peace Production May In
crease Demand for Them.

WARRINGTON, Nov. 23.--Redistribu-
ton OF women workers In factories and
mills with the aim OF facilitating the
efbcient and rapid readjustment of in
dustry for peace production and for
meeting after war demands for materials
and commodities that have been under
curtailment has been organized by the
Federal Employment Service during the
past week and is being carried forward
with speed. Several thousand women
have been shifted already to lighter
tasks. due TO the sudden stop In pro-
duction of war materials requiring the
uge of heavy machine work
Neither the officials OF the Employ
ment Service nor OF the War p emotion
Boards expect the demand for these
workers will diminish with the return
OF peace production. On the other hand
strong belief exists that the need for
women workers in factories will be
greater the coming year than ever.
Automobile plants rezuming manu-
facture OF motor cars have called on
the employment service TO supply them
with large numbers OF women, In ad-
dillon to their present forces. Some of
these factories, II is said. Lave sufficient
orders booked to occupy their full pro-
ductive capacity for at least two years.
In only few instances have orders
been booked from foreign buyers. Their
advent In the American market is ex-
pected early In the year.
Other concerns engaged in war pro-
duction and which have temporarily
halted In order to scrap and rebuild
their plants for yet buster period OF
peace activity are urgently asking the
employment service for additional
women workers
The return Of the soldiers from train
ing camps and overseas is not expected
TO disturb seriously the place OF women
In factories. II Is believed many OF the
women will DO retained also as elevator
operators. store clerks, messengers and
bookkeepers.
Many OF the women who entered war
Industries as unskilled workers have
acquired sufficient Skill TO assume more
difficult work in the reconstruction
period. Especially Is this true OF women
with knowledge Of chemistry, draught-
ing, designing. &c.

18TH CENTURY ART
PROVES ATTRACTION
English Masters Works Are
Put OH View at Knoed- g

MANY STUDENTS ATTEND
GerOme Brush's Sculptures
and Indian Paintings
Shown in Public.

English eighteenth century portraits
seem to have special and enduring
charm for New Workers., go the coliec-

Romncy, but the other artists, who do
not share In the celebrity of these two,
do share at least in many of their
virtues
One reason possibly for the great
favor that English eighteenth century
portraits enjoy is the calmness and Sc
curity to be observed not only in the
sitters, but In the method of the painters.
II Gainsoorough and Blake be excluded,
and they have been excluded from the
present exhibition, scarcely any OF the
painters OF that period may be accused
of having a nervous touch. All OF them
are thorough. worlUnan!ike and solid.
Fashion loves TO feel secure. ana there
is still mucif comfort for ia shion to be
obtained from eighteenth century art in
England. The Intervention between that
time and this. OF that trining little affair,
the French Revolution, is something that
we can easily shut our eyes to, espe-
cially in the presence of the pictures
