these "Le Coz dor" given as pan

Cadman's "Shanewis" proved to be q
pleasing and melodious little work of
no pretence and considerable popular
appeal, and Mr. Gilbert's "The Dance
in Place Congo real addition to
American music, if not to the Ameri-
can stage Rabauds "Marouf" made no
deep impression, being a we'll made but
uninspired work of the modern French
school. LISTS "Saint Elizabeth"
proved on the whole unsuited to dra-
matte investture, despite some mo-
ments Of exquisite beauty. 1t did
prove, however, that poetic English is
as singable as the poetic diction of any

Regiment" in which Signor Scott

of Bellini's 81 Puritani," Mozart's ole

, and Meyerbeer's "Le Prophetic"
~ Several of the new members of the
company made favorable impressions,
notably Thomas Chalmers, the young
American barytone; Hippolito Lazaro,
the Spanish tenor, and May Peterson
and Ruth Miller, American sopranos
Miss Sophie Braslau, though for a
number of seasons a member of the
company, came at last into the first
rank of the company's contraltos by
creating the title part in "Shanewis,"
and Miss Mabel Garrison, like Miss
Braslau an American, and a member Of
the company for several seasons past,
the new conductors, Signor Moranzoni
and Mr.. Monteux, gave salts faction,
Signor Moranzoni's conducting Of

in particular mastery.
Signor Caruso remained, of course,
the big drawing card of the season.
Whenever he appeared the house was
sold out few minutes after the open
ing of the box Office. The great teno,
was in excellent condition throughout
the season-a fortunate condition.
owing to the death of Luca Botta.
Signor Botta's loss was not made up
until late in the season, when INppolito
Lazaro Joined the company and dis
played remarkable voice, which he as
yet seems unable to control at all
times.
The German singers who were not
reengaged or who were released from
their contracts were Nine. Johanna

III you can't fight for your country
come and sing for her!"
This is the appeal made by Brooks
Leavitt, of the Liberty Loan Commit
tee, to the public in announcing plans
for the Peoples Chorus, a choir Of
5000 male and female voices, which is
being organized in connection with the
Liberty Loan campaign.
The Peoples Chorus is described by
Mr.. Leavitt as a training camp for
singers. 1t is the only society in this
city which has for its object free pub
lie instruction in the singing of Amer
lean songs.
The chorus will meet thrice weekly
ON Tuesday, Thursday and Friday
evenings-in the High School of Com
merce, 1855 West Sixty-ffth Street, at
8 o'clock. Rehearsals will be conducted
by L. Camilieri, who was in charge of
the great choir which sang at the
Olympic games at Athens.
Mr.. Camilieri plans to conclude the
choir's four weeks training period
with two concerts. One of these will
be an out-of-doors concert, and prob
ably will be given on the steps of the
Public Library. The other is sched-
uled for some large auditorium such
as Carnegie Hall or Madison Square
Garden.
feature Of the concert will be the
singing of the new Liberty Anthem,
which was composed by Katherine Cor
don French and Charles w. Gordon.
The first rehearsals were held last
week in the High School of Commerce.
They were attended by members Of the
Rubinstein Society, the new singing
society and members of banking and
department store clubs. Mr.. Camilieri
pointed out yesterday that, although a
special invitation has been extended to
trained singers, all who are interested
in singing will be welcome at rehear-
sails and will be assured of an oppor-
tunity to participate in the public con-
certs.
