last week numbered $1,000 persons, and
on Wednesday, July 2, the attendance
was over $4,000. The enthusiasm in
creases each night, also, and the ap-
plause seems greatest for the music Of
the masters. The music Of Wagner has
met with particular favor. These per-
formances are not alone attracting the
general public, but hundreds of musi-
clans are in attendance nightly. The
services of the New York Military Band
are being sought constantly, and it is
probable that a tour of the United
States soon will be arranged, as in
quiries are coming from all of the
large cities in the country.
On Monday, July 7, the band played
at the country home Of John D. Rookie
feller in honor of his eightieth birth
day. Philip Berolzheimer has engaged
the services of the band for a concert
at Poe Park this afternoon,
in order to give the people of The
Bronx an opportunity of hearing this
remarkable organization.
Tomorrow night there will be
special French programme in

lzed MT. Caruso will be put in chains
ana IN chains placed upon the Moscow
stage and hidden to sing "Una Fur
tiva Lagrima." That will be an inter-
estlng occasion, especially if the genial
Mr. Peters happened to be seated IN

Tor the standees and for Mr.. Chaliapine.
but we have our doubts about the ar
lists on the stage.
Then our thoughts drift back to our
own country and begin to evolve a So
vletized Metropolitan Opera House. OF
course the golden horseshoe is no more
ana there being no millionaires there
is no one to pay the bills. The en-
trance fee being within the reach Of all
and the seats being allotted in inverse
ratio to the patrons previous impor-
tance, these bills are Of course enor-
nous. To pay them the manageme ent
must milk the artists, who will sing
after the manner of discontented sing
ers. In the words of our immortal
Mr.. Briggs it will be "a grand and
glorious feeling" to attend the opera
in Soviet days, to pay 10 cents, to wear
overalls and sit in the orchestra while
the tenor sings fiat and the soprano
sharp. Discipline we will have-that
is, except among the audience. In these
days the proletariat will have been
trained in self-expression. We can
imagine the comment at performance
of "Aida" of a former patron of bur-
lesque who has strayed into the opera,
inveigled there by the low price of
seats. There will surely be interest
in the orchestra if not in the doings on
the stage.
1t is nonsense we are talking-but
then Chaliapine does reign in Soviet
lied Moscow-and this. is the silly
season.

In music as in many other things
sTlds is the slack and foolish season.
& Therefore we can let our thoughts drift
Md circle and eddy without regard to
Zine, place or even sense. We are in
the summer doldrums. So we can talk
of,Bolsheviki and Moscow and Chalia-
riBe.
Word has been received from Moscow
that opera is flourishing under the
Sotiet rule, and that the great Chalia-
oine is sort of operate czar. The
story goes-for all is story which comes
From Russia these latter days--that the
artists Of the Soviet opera are for the
srse time in their operatic history
barren Of troubles, veritable lambs in
The fold of the shepherd. The reason
for this is simple. Chaliapine gives an
< brdsr--if any one disobeys it his salary
ceases for that week. The order is
again given; if the refractory one still
proves recalcitrant he goes to jail. with
pstex, the executioner, always ready,
IL needed, around the corner. Thus
does the great Theodore Chaliapine en-
force discipline, and thus does opera
bud and blossom as never before under
! the orif1amme of the proletariat. At
laAst SO we are assured by various
persons who have heard some one say
easFho had seen some one who had
been in Moscow.
Now we can believe this if we wish
Il sounds very beautiful and very SIM
pie, perhaps altogether too simple for
this complicated world. Also we hear
that all the artists arc paid the same
hmount-a living wage. We should
like to have Mr.. Caruso's opinion on
this point--as to whether Moscow
would prove attractive to him. Per-
haps when the whole world is Soviet

4 Boston Exhibition

Summer visitors to New England who
pass through Boston have the opportu-
nifty of seeing an exhibition of portraits
by artists who painted in Colonial
times, at the Vose Galleries. This ex-
hibition, which will continue all sum-
mer, is of especial significance just now
because of the interest that has be-
come manifest in the last few years
among art lovers in the works of the
early American group who flourished
in the very dawn of the nations artistic
awakening. Though many regard these
productions as somewhat crude. the
connoisseur knows that the work of
the better Colonial portrait painter has
great charm; that it sometimes has
refinement of color that is of the
very essence of great art and that
nearly always there is a faithfulness
of Characterization which makes the
portraits intensely interesting from
an historical as well as a. patriotic
standpoint.
Altogether there are twenty-four pic
lures in the Vose Galleries exhibition
ranging in period all the way from J.
Blackburn, who was born in 17Oo and
who painted until 1865, ten years be-
fore the start of the Revolution, down
to Thomas Sully, who did his best work
in the first part of the last century.
The Blackburn portraits, life-size
representations of Mr.. and Mrs. Sam
uel Cults, members of the highest
circle of the Colonial arstocracy. arc
of special interest. Samuel Cults was
sea merchant Of Portsmouth, and his
ships went to China and the Orient
for trading purposes. He was very
wealthy and his home was one Of the
show places Of Portsmouth. He was
a revolutionary patriot, and it was to
him that Paul Revere gave the letters
of warning to the patriots. His wife.
the subject of the other portrait, was
Anna Holyoke, daughter of the tenth
president Of Harvard College.
These portraits by Blackburn are
beautiful in color, the tones being quiet
and refined. The poses are natural
and the characterization is careful and
convincing. They show that Blackburn.
the earliest artist, undoubtedly had
great influence on Copley, and that he
was superior to the latter in some
ways.
Another fine pair of Colonial por-
traits is that Of Thomas Dongan
and his wife, by John Woolaston, who
painted about 1850. Thomas Dongan
