had to be in order to hear her at all

Cunsbourg's ''Le Well Aigle"
Given hy Chicago COMPANY

There was triple bill last night at
the Lexington Theatre. when "Cava-
leria Rusticana," lie Well Aigle" and
ballet advertisement, led by Andreas
Pavley and Serge Oukrainsky, were
given before a large audience. The
Mascagni opera received vigorous,
full-blooded performance under the
baton of Giorgio Polacco. Miss Fran
cesca Peralta was the Santuzza, and
she would have been more effective had
she bridled the outpouring Of her
splendid voice. Nuance and truth to the
pitch are desirable, even in Cavalleria."
Forrest Lamont was excellent as Turid
du, and Alfred Maguenat more than
that as Alto, while Louise Berat as
Lucia and Irene Pavloska as Lola were
both admirable.
1t is impossible to discuss "Le Well
Aigle" at such short rotice. 1t was re-
ceving its first performance in New
York, but, though there had been dress
rehearsal. none of the critics were in
formed Of it, and as the opera did not
ended, extended critical comment is, of
course, out of tho question.
"Le Well Aigle" was written by
Raoul Gunsbourg, the impresario Of
the Monte Carlo Opera, where it was
first performed on February 13, 1909.
From single hearing the opera
seemed singularly feeble, beth music
ally and dramatically. The music was
always without character and often
ruerile, the story an unmitigated bore.
Why the Chicago company should
have felt calS,d on to irfict such
rubbish on an unsuspecting public is a
mystery. What Mr.. Baklanoff, Mr..
Fontaine and Miss Gail could do to
sustain it was done. Mr.. Charlier
conducted. Let the record stand ut

1t is enlightened common sense to see
that the workers and the dependent

his general efficiency, benefits his en-
