Opera
Holiday Audience Hears
Caruso Sing ''Lodoletta'
at the Metropolitan

Mascagni's "Lodoletta" was sung for
the second time in New York at the
Metropolitan last night. The audience
was huge IN size and tempestuous in
its exhibition of delight, a true holi~
day and Italian gathering. How much
Of this delight was due to Mascagni's
music and how much to Mr.. Caruso's
singing it might be difficult to deter
mine, but when in doubt it is always
we'll to cling to the tenor. 1t is cer-
tain that Mr.. Caruso has never put to
his credit more perfect singing than he
has accomplished in this new work
Owing to the indisposition of Mme-
Farrar, Miss Florence Easton sang the
title part. Miss Easton came to the
Metropolitan unheralded, but she has
already proved herself an artist Of
high quality. She sang last night with
beautiful tone and with an exquisite
command of legato. If her Lodoletta
was not as girlish in appearance as
that of Nine. Farrar, it possessed
charm and simplicity. The Metropoli-
She brings to the company rare
sincerity, beautiful voice and
knowledge and a command of the art
of song which are rare in the operatic
world to-day. The rest OF the cast was
as usual, with Mr. Amato, Mr.. Didur,
Mr. de Segurola, Miss Egener and Miss
Arden in the chief roles. Mr.. Moran

Big Bill at Colonial

The Cameron Sisters. with Burton

at the Colonial yesterday. Dorothy and
Madeline are fascinating creatures and
their dancing is artistic as we'll as
amazing.
A danse Narcssus came first, then
wonderful Eeyptionne waltz, and lastly
the Cameron fox tr0t. This was danced
to patriotic tunes, and the sprightly
sisters wore abbreviated red frochs,
blue sox and shippers and little white
hats. They deserved all Of the ap-
plause which was theirs.
The most artistic number on the pro-
gramme was an act called Liberty
Ahame," which Paul Keith and f. T..
Albee presented, with the fascinating
Gladys Hanson as Liberty. The idea
is new and the thing was wonderfully
inspiring. As one listened to and gazed
at Miss Hanson one could readily un-
derstand how Patrick Henry felt when
he said, Give me liberty or give me

William S. Hart Opens
New Picture at Rivoli
wolves of the Rail-" Western
Drama, Contains Many
Thrills

Once upon time the cleverest critic
IN New York, who is now across the
seas, remarked that William S. Hart
had that sad, wistful look, as though
he knew he was about to be struck by
a cyclone or kicked by mule, and that
his gloomy forebodings always were
realized. But surely he never could
have guessed what was going to happen
to him in evolves of the Rail" a pict-
ure which Thomas Ince presented at the
Rivoli yesterday.
1t is a regular Hart picture, but it
has number of things in it which the
other pictures have not had.
Bill Hart is Buck Andrade, an out
law, as bad as an outlaw can be; only
Bucks reformation occurs in the early
part Of the picture, when his mother
dies. He promises her that he will
hold up no more trains, and he keeps
his promise, discarding forever the
serviette with two holes cut in it, with
which he used to conceal his identity.
Usually Bill does not reform until af-
ter he meets Vola Vale and fixes his
eyes on her and heaves his chest, for,
however different Bill may be in his
methods of shooting and ropng and
riding, when he falls in love he does
