This Weeks Bill
At the metropolitan,

When "L'Amore del tire Re" was first
performed at the Metropolitan Opera
House four seasons ago it was hailed
by many judicious musical observers as
the most interesting operate work that
had come out of Italy since "La b.
meme" Its success was due to the very
effective libretto, originally a tragedy.
by the gifted Italian poet Sem Benell
(who has recently been wounded at tho
Italian front, but who is now in fair
way to recovery; to the sincere, spon-
taneous, fluent score provided by the
composer ltalo Montemezzi. and to
what was generally conceded to be
very admirable cast.
Next Thursday evening General Man.
ager Gattl-CasaZza will revive the work
with two important changes in the dis.
trlbution of parts. Mr.. Caruso for the
first time will sing the role of Avito
VINO IN the play represents the pure
Italian type-the representative of the
Latin race, at the period of the action
of the drama subjected to barbarian
invader, as is Northeastern Ita}v to-
day. The role of Flora, in which Sem
Benelli evidently aims at typifvjnp
Italy herself, will be sung for the first
time here by an Italian girl. Miss
Claudia Muzio. She pleased the Milan
public in the part so much that it
is said her head was taken as model
for the widely distributed poster rep
resenting Italia with her forefnger ON
her lips warning the public in the
words: "Tacetc. Anche il vostro silen-
zio aHretera la vittoria!" ("Not a
word! Even your silence will hasten
victory!").
Mr.. Amato again will be seen az Man

After all, this is a scheme no more
extravagant than many another re-
Gently devised for the reformation of
society. What one generation hears
the next will be. The great trouble
with the Wagnerian movement in Ger
many was in its displacement of en-
phasis. Wagner was one of the su-
preme musicians of all time, who, wish
ing to be universal, decided also to be
a supreme philosopher. That he never
was a supreme philosopher did not oc-
cur to him. and it did not occur to a
large portion of the German people.
So Wagner, misunderstanding himself,
was misunderstood by his public, with
the result that there followed a grand
jamboree Of Misunderstanding, in
which complete violence was done to
every one of the canons pertaining to
the limits of the arts, so ably set forth
by another German, and German who
was true philosopher, Gottold
Ephraim Leasing, in 1.-THE LAGOON"
Everything was to be welded sound
with sense, poetry with painting,
philosophy with the ballet. Never since
the beginning Of the world was Hymen
to be so triumphant; a wedding ring
was to be on the finger of all the chill
dren OF art; everything would be legiti-
mate!
But, alas, the arts are jealous bed
fellows. Asleep they are all very we'll,
Gut awake there is the devil to nav.
and the price is usually divorce. With
great genius like Wagner it was pos
sibic TO keep at least an outward show
OF marriage, though in reality music was
complete master, but with the most o,
little Wagners, the pawnshop Symptom
lsts OF the theatre, who settled like
lecusts over the fair land Of Germany
and then crossing the Rhine and the
Atlantic proceeded TO eat up the
natural genius Of other peoples, the
marriages became those of very little
stolen music united to great mass
Of words with resultant sterility
These marriages were possible only be-
cause both music and poetry were
asleep. But the sieep was the sleep
OF death and in its arms never TO wake

even vital ta]ents. And out Of this sleep
from this land Of technical boredom
is IL to be wondered that the public
