Miss Emmy Destinn
Appears Again in
Metropolitan Cast
Audience Welcomes Singer
as Patriotic Citizen of New
Czecho-Slovakia; Beauti-
full Performance of Aida

Mis- Emmy Destinn made her reap
pearance last night as a member of the
Metropolitan Opera Company. Miss
Destinn left US an Austrian subject,
who hated the House Of Hapsburg and
all it's works. For her opinions she
suffered what was practically a three
year imprisonment. She returns a
free citizen of the newborn Czecho-
Slovak Republic. Miss Destinn is both
patriot and a great singer, and as
both last nights audience gave her its
welcome.
Miss Destirn's Aida is still a very
beautiful performance. 1t is slight
praise to say that there is no one at
the Metropolitan who is worthy to be
mentioned with her in the same
breath, but it will do no harm to say it.
That her voice is all that it was when
last she was with US it is too early to
say. She was evidently nervous, and
at times she appeared to have trouble
with her breath support, but the voice
was still warm and pure. Her shadow
has not grown less. We might even
whisper it has grown larger How
ever, the way of all flesh is the way of
the prima donna. Welcome back,
Emmy Destinn, or Destinova, as your
pro-Ally soul has proclaimed you are
henceforth to be!
The rest of the performance requires
only mention. Giulio Crimi was the
Radames. He was neither heroic nor
always euphonious. Nine. Besanzoni
was the Amneris, and effective enough
in all but her upper tones; Mr.. Zanelli
was the Amanasro, Mr.. Martino Ramfs
and Mr.. D'Angelo the King. Mr.. Mo-
ranzoni conducted.

John Meldrun,, Blind
Pianist, appears at
AeOIiun Hall Recital

John Meldrum, who appeared q.
Aeolian Hall yesterday afternoon, is
young man, who despite total blind
ness, measures we'll above the average
of the pianists who have asked our
suffrage so far this season. His style
is miniature, rather than broad, but
his playing is full of color, and finely
articulated. He was at his best yes
terday in such things as the Gluck-
Brahmbs Gavotte and the Gluck-Saint-
Saens Caprice sur les Airs de Bal
let," in which his fancy and delicate
sensibility were pleasingly evident, and
it is probably in such numbers as
these that he will find his most fertile
field. Other things that he played
were the Cesar Franck Prelude,
Chorale, and Fugue, a group of Chopin.
and compositions by Scriabine, De-
busy, and Liszt. His audience was
large and it attested its interest in no
uncertain fashion.
