MARY GARDEN SINGS
IN NEW CLEOPATRA
Massenet's Promised Version
Given at Lexington Theatre
by Chicago Opera Company.
SCENIC MUSIC APPEALS
Composers Egyptian Queen
Might Have Been Built on
Grander Lines.

Massenet's Cleopatra" an opera often
promised. was produced Mt the Lexing-
ton Theatre last evening by the Chicago
Opera Company. Its advent in this
country, recently achieved in Chicago
may be attributed to the necessity OF
furnishing Mary Garden with new
role. Historically Cleopatra is a some
what vaguely outlined person, but the
Shakespearian tradition Is the one most
affectionately followed. A royal siren
with some exceptional qualities, we are
asked TO believe that she really loved
Marcus Antonitls. Along this line the
opera OF Massenet Is constructed.
In this version of the story of Antony
and Cleopatra we find one Spdkos
ENTHUSIASTICALLY called favorte OF the
capricious queen. He and Antony take
opposite sides Of the dramatic ring In
the first scene when the Roman, FRESH
from victory. secs the lady for the ilrst
time. In the second act. which takes
place in Rome, Antony. who has JUST
lea rned the favor of Spdkos. is led by MS
jealousy to confess to Octovid on the eve
OF their marriage his passion for Esyptf
ruler.
Now we go to Alexandria. where an
Egyptian Bolsheviki surround Cleopatra
and SpdIoS. and the latter pitches into

Her 1.-THE form. her expressive eyes. her

and that extraordinary subtlety of vocal
moments. were the elements In a dram
attic composition which disclosed all OF
her skill, but to no great purpose.
An operatic Cleopatra would have to
he built on grander lines, not heroic. but
| suggestive OF the incarnation of the
temptress OF world. 1t was not in
Massenets power to create a type. To
compose Cleopatra successfully one
would have to do just that. Mary Gar
den in all her superb costumes and even
her generous display of her delicate
physical charms could not make us think
OF her whose infinite variety custom
could not stale.
Mr. Maguenat was an admirable Mdrk
Antony. He lacked the voice to give the
music its fun value. but his picturesque
acting and his command OF style we're
very effective. Mr. Fontaine was en-
tirely suitable as Spdkos, Mr.. Pavley as
Addmos the dancer did some remarkable
posing and made the sudden fancy OF
| Cleopatra comprehensive. The Octdpid
