IN the violence of his discords He has
never preached as a musical Bolshcvik,
nor has he practiscd as one. He has

Is Story of Old Mexico
"Azora" is written to lbretto by
David Stevens. 1t has to do with
Mexico ct the time of Cortex, and its
story is romantic to degree.
Aalca, having been overcome in bat
tie by Montezuma, is residing in the
iatter's capital, a nominal prisoner of
war. He stands high in the Emperor's
tavor as military leader; having sub
m'tted to Montezuma's rule, he has
been given an important command. The
reason for Xalca's devotion to Monte
zuma's interest lies in his love for
Azora, the Emperor's daughter. who is
destined by her father to be the wife
of Ramatzin, titular chief of Monte
zuma's army. Owing to Xalca's anon
alous position, his betrothal to Azora
has been kept secret in the hope that
an impending war with Tarascan will
altord him an opportunity to so dstin-
guish himself that his claim to equal
standing With all will be recognized.
Kamatzin, however, already resentfuI
and angry at Xalca's success and popu-
larity,, is further enraged by the suspi-
sion S that Azora loves the Tlascalan.

By Grenville Vernon

American opera is no. longer the
cinderella of art. The last decade has
seen long list of works by native
composers. We have had Converse's
"flpo of Desire" Parker's "Mona."
Herbert's "Natoma" and "Madeleine. >"
Damrosch's "Cyrano de Bergerac" and
De Kovcn's Canterbury Pilgrims.
All have been presented with capable
casts' all have been cxcclently staged.

noplng that they would find in the
music SOMETHING to stimulate the hope
that an indigenous opera had at last
appeared. That these hopes we're frus-
trated the world knows only too we'll.
IN none Of these works was found any,
thing distinctivcly American, unkind
critics might add, nothing distinctive
at all. But with a young nation hope
never dies, and SO it was that a large
and unusually representative audience
lourncycd Saturday night to the Lex
lngton Theatre to hear the CHICAGO
Opera Association present Henry Had
ley's "Azora."
Mr.. Hadley is a sound musician of
broad sympathies, whose symphonic

and the final rescue OF the lovers by
the arrival Of Cortez.
The possibilities of this story for
conventional operate treatment are
obvious. Pomp and circumstance,
priestly choirs, mystic rites. all the
flub-dub that the genius of Verdi
raised to magrifcence in the eloquent
pages Of "Aida," Mr.. Stevens has
hurled into his libretto. When in doubt
he orders procession. Fuss, fury and
feathers continually fill the stage.
OF humanity there is precious little,
Of poetic language even less, though
the words are better suited to song
than was the case with other English
operas which might be named.
Libretto Lacks Charm
Taken by itself the libretto is
throughout vapid and utterly lacking
in charm. 1t simply gives the COM
poser an opportunity to write music
Of almost any sort that he might
choose. for marionettes do not require
fixed style and never insist on as
scrting themselves at awkward mo-
ments. Mr.. Hadley was given his own
sweet will.
Mr.. Hadley's music is always we'll
made. The orchestration is clear, and
"''oe 'NOo' ttS oSOLC puSSeSSeS arc
never hindered from appearing. Mr..
Hadley had not attempted to bury his
lyric gift beneath a mass of symphonic
development. He believes in set pieces,
and in their display by the human
voice, and if at times his orchestration
IS rather heavy, at others he allows the
singer ample play.
The trio in the second act, Azora' $
opening air in the last act and the
quintet made not little stir in the
audience
Mr.. Hadley is an eclectic, and it
would be too much to assert that his
music possesses any particular charac-
ter. 1t is an,iable rather than forceful,
an amiability which becomes a little
wearisome long before The opera is
over. We feel that he is repeating
many charming things he has heard
without realizing that charm is lost
when it is no longer spontaneous.
Music Wants Personality
He understands the ex!gencies of the
theatre, but to the theatre he fails to
bring any definite personality. He pro-
duces huid music in workmanlike
manner, but music which lacks def
milton Of outline or richness Of color.
The performance was in some re-
spects excellent, in others less so. Miss
Anna FitSiu sang Azora exceedingly

aspiring to wiz the hand Of the En-
peror's daughter, but Xslca admits his
love for Azora and refuses to surrender
her. Azora then appears. and in pas
slonate scene with Xalca their mutual
love and devotion are reasserted.
Human Sacrifices Prepared
The ceremonies Of the feast begin
with an assembling Of Montezuma's
people. The sacrifcal victims are
brought forth and all are about to
proceed to the scene of the sacrifice
when Montezuma, observing that his
daughter Is not present, inquiries the
reason. Papan declares that she dis
suaded Azora trom presenting herself
at the ceremony, believing the sacri-
ticial rites to be wicked and unhal-
lowed. Though Montezuma rebukes her
for her apostacy, she relates a vision
in which she behcd and heard mes
senger from the true God, who pro-
claimed the coming of Christ's warriors
and the victory of the Cross over blind
ness and superstition.
Montezuma is momentarily affected
by her recital, but at that moment
Ramatzin appears with the news that
the approach of the Tarascan has been
sgnalled from the mountains, and all
~ IOTgOCteH except tne SACrluce Co the
sun god and immediate preparations
for battle. Xalca is summoned and
Montezuma intrusts him with the cam
paign against the enemy, promising
him whatever he may demand if he re-
turn victorious.
Xalca eagerly undertakes the task,
seeing therein this chance to win Azora
unopposcd. He departs, and despite the
earnest protests of Papan the sacri-
fetal ceremony proceeds.
Xalca Remains Faithful
A month clapses without news from
Xalca; Azora seeks the Temple Of
Totec at sunset, and before the sacred
FIRE prays for her lovers safe and
victorious return.
Her devotions arc interrupted by
Canek, who tries to convince her that
Xalca is defeated and dead. He fur
thcr declares that Montezuma, angry at
the apparent failure Of Xalca's army.
has determined on second expedi-
tion under Ramatzin's command.
Ramatzin appears and urges his suis
on Azora, who proudly rejects him.
Xalca, triumphant, returns and de-
mands from Montczuma the hand Of
his daughter, and the Emperor, caught
by his promise, is forced to submit, but
orders in revenge that the lovers shall
die MS a sacrifice. The last act deals
with the preparation for the sacrifice

of ample power, rich in timbre and
even throughout its range. If her
singing lacked yesterday a little in
polish, this WAS probably due to the
music. Arthur Middleton's fine voice
and excellent diction redeemed his ut
ter lack of dramatic temperament.
Forrest Lamont showed an excellent
natural voice as Xaica.
The rest of the performance, which
included the scenery and costumes, was
less excellent. The audience was more
than usually enthusiastic, and brought
the artists, Mr.. Hadley and Mr.. Stevens
before the curtain many times.
