Blanca SorOya as Marie Plcases
Audience-Hadley Con-
duets Well.

Donizetti's THE Daughter OF the
Regiment" was the second offering Of
the Society of American Singers at the
Park Theatre last evening. This pretty
work Is now quite familiar to local
music lovers who have only recently
enjoyed performances Of II at the Metro
politan with Frieda Hempel as the
heroine and Mr.. Scott as Sergehnt Sui
pice. In English the text loses some
of the piquancy found in the French
version. but on the whole the atmos-
phere of the comedy Is well preserved
in the translation.
Last evenings performance was one
replete with uncertainties. Almost every
one on the stage seemed to be suffering
from exposed nerves and consequently
there was no little stumbling In the
dialogue, which therefore moved heav-
lily at times. This shortcoming will
probably disappear in future performs
ances and the singers should be able to
impart to the action greater elasticity.
Blanca Soroya, who was the Mdrie
last night, disclosed pretty voice. and
her singing. though by no means I'm
ished. apparently gave much pleasure to
the audience. David Bispham made a
very stalwart figure of Sergeant Sulpice
and showed that his voice was In ex-
cellent condition. Craig Campbell. the
Tony of the evening. was that rare
being tenor who could speak lines
with effect. He spoke much better than
he sang. although for some passages he
received applause Of hearty nature.
Henry Hadley conducted. He is well
known here as a composer of orchestral
and choral music and last season he
conducted an opera OF his own which
Company. Mr.. Hadley, however. has
had considerable experience as an oper-
attic conductor in Europe and last eve
ming he showed his acquaintance with
the requirements OF his occupation. The
audience was of fair size.
