Opera
Spirited Performance of ssAida''
Given by Lyric Federation
at Brooklyn Academy

The Italian Lyric Federation gave a
performance of aida" at the Brooklyn
Academy of Music last evening. The
eternal beauty of Verdi's score gave
pleasure to the audience and served as
an inspiration to those taking the prin-
clpal parts. The strength OF the cast
lay rather with the men-Mr. Zenovieff
Mr.. Picco, Mr. De Biasi and Mr.. Cervi-,
who displayed fine voices as we'll as
knowledge Of opcratic traditions. Miss
treeman's Aida WAS conventional in
song and action. Miss Poggi's voice
was excellently suited to the music Of
Amneris. She was seductive in ap-
pearance, and her impersonation was
we'll sustained
There were certain informalities
about the performances Amneris vas
not diverted by the dancing of the Gus
tomary slaves, and the Ethiopian pris-
oners we're conspicuouslv few in num-
Der. These omissions, however, were
atoned for by the generally spirited
character of the performance, which
reached its climax IN the great en-
semblc at the close of the second act.
Tomorrow evening the Federation

Drama
''Roly-Boly Eyes, Has Its First
Performance at the

By Heywood Broun

"Roly- -Boly Eyes" may perhaps be
SET down as effective popular enter
talnment. The book and lyrics, for
which Edgar Allan Wolff is responsible,
could hardly be worse. They are inane
beyond belief. But the specialties are
numerous and interesting, and it is by
such devices that many musical show

vaudeville performer, sings a number
OF minstrel melodies with a quality of
voice and rhythm which is ngratiating
ne also dances pleasingly. AS for the
llnes' 1t is matter of Indifference as
to how they are spoken. The dancing
appeal of the show is particularly
strong, since the cast boasts the CO.
operation of Miss Queenie Smith, the
talented young exponent of classical
modes, from the Metropolitan Opera
House. Miss Queenie Smith is not only
graceful toe dancer, but stanch and
determined young miss who for several
Sc seasons has resisted every appeal of
the metropolitan management to
change her name to the more dignificd
Regina Smith. Queenie she has re-
manned, and it has abatcd her charm
not whit. 1t would seem the part Of
wisdom to make greater use of this
performers talents, for her one solo
dance in the second act was rapturous-

and if she is a permanent recruit from

Margaret Edwards danced vividly in
an Oriental number, and there was some
mildly amusing broad, burlesque by
Miss May Boley.
Eddie Leonard's appearances are in

dit'on which he brings to the stage.
Apparently, a great number OF persons
