''LABOHEME" WINS
MERITED OVATION

la Boheme" was presented by
the San Carlo Opera Company with
such engaging skill and artistic por-
srayaI at the Belasco last evening
that the audience which packed the
theater was inclined to go into mild
ecstacies at not infreQuent intervals.
The orchestra and once or twice,
the players, were unable to end the
act before waves of applause in
spontaneous recognition of their ar
tistry swept through the house.
The singing of Queena Mario in
La Boheme" constituted her great
est success in the National Capital
and she has WOE VeTy favorable COM
ment in other operas in which she
has appeared this week. Her sing
ing was wonderful and her splendid
enacting Of the part of Mimi" won
for her general admiration. She
sang mezZo-voce through the last
scene and her portrayal of the death
scene was particularly realistic.
Sofia Charlebois sang the part of
the tempestuous ''Musetta." Rudolfo
was sung with skill by Giuseppe
Agostini. who shared with Queena
Mario the greatest commentator
from the audience.
GleITO OebldSl as COlllueS nv
dolfo FornAri as "Shaunard,' and Jo-
seph Roger as Marcel were reveal
ed as singers of more than unusual
talent, while enthusiastic approval
was won by the singing of Natalie
CerYi.
Gaetano NICOLA. the conductor, led
his musicians through the maze of
the score with skill and pleasing in
Genuity, which aided much in max
ing the presentation a success.
IL Trovatore" will be presented
by the San Carlo Opera Company
this evening. Estelle Wentworth. a
Washington girl, is expected to ap-
pear in I'll Trovatore."
Madame Butterfly" will be sung
this afternoon. with Mardella Craft
singing the title part.

"Cavalleria Rusticana," Mascagnrs
equally ttagic opera, but one of primal
love and passion, never loses its allur-
ing appeal through its warm and
opulent melodies. its full voiced Ital-
ian outpouring of lovely sound, or its
beauty through the orchestra alone.
Francesca Peralta, Francis Maclen-
nan. and Jeanne Gordon made their
first operate appearance in Washing
ton. Miss Peralta has a full. rich,
dramatic soprano voice and she gave
Santuzza with excellent effect An
occasional deviation from pitch was
evident, but her singing was mellow
and suits the role.
Jeanne Gordon as the coquette Lola
was a surprise. Her voice is beautiful
and she is actres and artist as well.
Francis Maclennan made a dramatic
TuTiddu. His tenor robusto fits the
role, although he lost melody in his
lyric singing. Milo PiccO as Alto
and Mary Kent as Luci completed the
cast, bringing it little above the
average.
To Carlo Peroni and his orchestra
is due the beauty of the overture,
played with curtain raised. and en-

music drama" as it is called, of
"L'Oracolo," by Franco Leoni. the
tragic Chinese opera, were the novelty
ATTRACTIONS at the performance of the
Scott Grand Opera Company at PolI's
| Theater yesterday, with a capacity
audience again showing its appTecia-
tion of grand opera in Washington. :
A double bill was given with Mas
cagnPs "Cavalleria Rusticana" as the
second opera, with Francesca Peralta
as Santuzza, and Francis Maclennan
as Turiddu. There was much dis
appointment that Anonio Scott was
not heard in the second opera also,
because of its opportunity to hear
Scott, the singer, in a more vocal
Irole.
! "L'Oracolo" is a gruesome tragedy
OF life and crime in the Chinese quar-
ter of San Francisco. 1t is a master
full piece of dramaturgy by Antonio
Scott, as the villain, Chin Fang, $"
the opium den keeper. The music is
chiefly that of local color, that it
maintains with fidelity. But in this
opera of the Chinese-albeit of the
lowest life OF a transplanted China
Leoni has in no measure created a
typical beauty in score such as Puc-
cini has put to his Japanese Mime.
Butterfly"
| There is a soprano aria, sung most
effectively by Nine. Florence Easton
as "Ah-Yoe," that is reminiscent of
Nine. Butterfly, and that has beauty
in II. Nine. Easton's voice was pure
and quite lovely, though with no large
dramatic breadth to it, Then there
was a tenor love song, ending in a
duet. Orville Harold was the lover.
| but his music was rather unRratefuI
and remained little more than dra-
matte impassioned defamation, that
he gave with dramatic power.
The most beautiful music of the
opera was the choral prayer. Filled
with the atmosphere of the scene. il
was sung with exquisite soft effects
in color and harmony. and it rose to a
great climax of choral wealth and
nobility.
The sinister "Chim-Fang" of An
tonic Scott remains apart as a great
piece of acting. The resonant voice
| OF the celebrated baritone expressed
the moods. the evil intent, the craven
fear, the hypocritical humor Of this
son of darkness. who seemed to love
evil for evils sake, with the vocal
mastery of this great artist.
In action. too, in facial expression.
and in pantomime, one will not forget
this delineation. Ever subtle, he con-
veyed in every gesture his motive and
| his thought
! In rich defamation, too, the role OF
| "Hoo-Tsin," the merchant against
whom Cbim-Fang sinned by the alb
duction of his tiny son, was signii1-
cant as sung by Louis D'Angelo, as
was the role of the doctor as given
by Charles Gallagher. Miss Mary Kent
and GiordanO Paltrinieri completed
/ the cast.

many people who attended the per-
formances OF "The BetrothaI" were
not aware that much OF the pleasure
they derived from its performances
was due to this suggestive quality OF
the music-"incidental" music, we be-
lieve, is the term usually employed TO
describe it, Though why music should
be so labeled is odd. II is sometimes,

Mr.. De Lamarter's case-sO important
as to be OF equal Importance to what
is taking place before the eyes, or the
words the players utter.
The Betrothal' score, however,
seems to have been an exception, for
II attracted notice OF many patrons,
who were not aware. until they had
heard this music. that they had a mu-
sical trend. There was q very definite
development of thematic material in
what Mr.. De Lamarter penned, and
ne wrote for the orchestra with a full
understanding OF the task to be per-

was that Theodore Spiering con-

Pierre Key. in the New York World,
says:
The closing OF Maeterlinck's, "The
Betrothal" will bring a pang OF regret
to many, not alone for the dramatic
interests OF the production but be-
cause the music written for this fairy
tale play was exceptional. For the
sake of music in the theater it de-
serves to be performed as often as
there is occasion to use il. 1t is odd
that the music in common use in most
New York theateTs is both common
place and badly performed. A tink
ling tune. an array of Indifferent in
strumentalists who do not usually
merit being called musicians, and the
audiences are made to feel that in
this important respect their wants are
being cared for. Those who know
appreciate that they are not; and il is
on this account that such a score as
Eric De Lamarter. the Chicago COM
poser. conductor, and. critic, provided
for THE Betrothal," commands unre-

HERBERT DEFENDS
THE SIMPLE SONG
Victor Herbert Is quoted thus:

Victor Herbert IS quoted thus:
Il am annoyed frequently by mu-
sicians who look down on the man
who writes a simple song that the
people love to sing. l don't think
they should. For to write a song
that strikes a responsive note in mill
lions of people is not an easy thing
And as you know many OF the songs
of the people are not written by mu-
sicians at all Take, for example
The Low Backed Car and Molly
Bawn.' which many people think OF
as Irish folksOngs, but which were
composed by my grandfather, Samuel
Lover He was not a trained musi-
clan, and when he wrote his melo-
dies il was Michael BaIfe who wrote
the accompaniments for him, Balfe
of Bohemian GiTP fame. or course,
Samuel Lover in writing these songs
was writing for his people. he was
giving them songs which are as close
to their hearts as any folksong, which
latter, strictly speaking. is a song
without authorship. And the men to-
day who are writing simple songs
that take hold OF an audience are,
for all we know, writing the folk
songs OF America, songs which may
in fifty years be sung, their authors
names forgotten by the majority OF
people, and viewed as folksongs.'
