Hugo's Temple Dancer"
 Scores Marked Success
(Continued from Page One)

For the voices of the singers Hugo does not show the utmost considera- tion. The tessitura of the music al lotted to the Temple Dancer seems inordinately high, and not a little which the Temple Guard is asked to sing lies somewhat low for a tenor voice.
 From a. spectacular point of view The Temple Dancer left little to be desired, thanks in a measure both to James Fox, who had painted the scenery, and to Rosina GalIi, who had arranged the effective Hindoo dance
 Florence Easton sang her exact ing music successfully despite the physical exertions which her imper- sonation of the dancing priestess re quired. Morgan Kingston, in pants that reminded one of running-trac brooches, made a, competent guard. Carl Schlegel, as the Toga, exhib- ited his command of sustained singing In the few measures allotted to him. g

They serve as sti1u- ulaing efforts to our composers and hbrettists, and the time undoubtedly will come when their accomplishment touch the standard desired
 For 'The Temple Dancer" there might have been a living chance had Mir. Hugo not been wefghted-as was NIT. Breil-with a book of almost commonplace English. But, unlike The Legend" which lacked the ele- ments of suitable dramatic fabric, The Temple Dancer" had a good dramatic idea. There was genuine feeling and a deal of originality in the music written for the early part

of this one-act piece, even though it lacked, strangely enough, any hint of the original color one would have ex- pected the composer to provide.
 There were some commendable, ii decidedly too vocally---trying, phrases for the soprano in the romanza; and some effective moments for orchestra in Miss Easton's alIuring dance. But Mir. Hugo appeared to have Q variety of style, and the farther one got into his opera the more apparent did this become. And there was a most or dinary theme just before the close of the work, when the Temple Dancer and the guard lay dead.
 Miss Easton made a, most admira- ble temple dancer. She was attrac- tive to the eye, and had the tessitura of the music been less terrific her singing would have been still more admirable. Morgan Kingston, as the Guard, was impossible vocaHy and dramatically

The demoralized condition of the coal barge service has resulted in so diminishing the supply of steam coal in the city that transit companies have appealed to the public service commission and the navan authorities for aid. A complete shutdown of service on the elevated and subway lines was predicted today by Frank Hedley, general manager of the In terbOrough Rapid Transit Company when the four days supply on hand Is exhausted. Similar conditions are said to exist in Brooklyn and man ufacturing plants throughout the city are beginning to feel the pinch of the coal supply shortage.

French Ariutor Starts

Lieut.. Roget Plans to Make
1,977-Mile Trip From Dakar,

PARIS, May 24.-Lieutenant Roget,
the French aviator who in April made
nonstop fight of more than $50
miles from Lyons TO Rome, started
this morning to fly from Paris to Mo-
rocco, whence he plans to attempt a
flight across the Atlantic to Brazil,
with Dakar as starting point.
Roget made his start from here at
a. m. He was accompanied by Me-
chanician Offrey.
The total distance in land miles from
Paris to Pernambuco, the most eastern
port of Brazil, by way of Dakar, is
more than 400 miles. French avia-
tors previously have flown from Paris
to Casablanca, Morocco, a distance of
1854 miles. From Casablanca to Da-
kar is about 1000 miles. The distance
across the Atlantic, from Dakar to
Pernambuco, is 1,715 nautical miles, or
about 1877 land miles.
