Taylor's 'Hiawatha'
Marks Change of
Policy at Capitol

Coleridge Taylor's "Hlawatha's We'd
ding Feast" will be sung at the Capt.
tol Theatre this week, in connection
with new policy adopted by the man
agement. In future elaborate musical
features will be given each week. The
cast TOT the first attraction, which will
nave its first performance this after
noon. includes as Hiawatha, Willard
Foote; Minnehaha, Margaret Waldron;
Bau-Puk- -Kee-Wis, Angelo Romeo; Chi
Dlabos, Warren Proctor; Lagoo, j. Par
ker Coombs; Nokomis, Ida Mule;
Ossee, Frederick Adams; chief, Thomas
Springer; one Of the tribe, Chief White
Hawk, of the Sioux tribe; traitor.
Thomas Dowd.
Managing Director Bowes makes the
Following statement concerning the
new policy:
Commencing to-day the Capitol will
enter upon an elaboration of Its pro
| duclng policy that will place it in an
institutional class. Taking a step for
which we have been feeling our way
we shall present musical features Of =
hlgher type as the complement to mo-
tlon pictures, leaning heavily toward
operate works. It is not meant by
the latter that we will encroach upon
the field now occupied by the opera
companies giving a full evenings en-
tertalnment by presenting condensed
versions of the works they stage. Com
piete works that may be presented
within forty-tive minutes or an hour
at most, new operate works and mu-
seal novelties in the field of ballet, and
pantomlme and undertakings of har-
monious character offer field that is
at present neglected. And, in 80 far as
is possible, these works will be suns
| in English. 1t Is felt that aside from
the interest that such course COM
mands it will have great educationa|
value and, in addition, will afford both
an outlet and an inspiration for native
composers and librettists.
"A singing ensemble Of seventy-si,
voices, every individual a carefully
trained soloist, has been organized and
is IN rehearsal for our first produc-
ton. This Will be presented next Sun
day and will be an indication Of our
aim. The work selected for that oc-
casion is 'Hiawatha' 8 Wedding Feast
which will be presented for the first
time III operatic form S. Coleridee
Iaylor's beautiful musical setting for
Longfellow's imm mortal poem is familiar
TO all music lovers, and it has been
staged al fresco with splendid choral
organizations. but there Is no record
OF II having been done in any theater
as we shall present il. a cast Of
princi pals, large singing ensemble,
pantomime and spectacular scenic in
vestiture and a symphony orchestra OF
eighty pieces will combine to lend
charm to the work.
Nathaniel Finston, conductor Of the
Capitol symphony orchestra, has been
gladdened by the addition Of ten musi-
clans TO his already large organization
as the first step in approaching the
work we have in hand William G.
Stewart, >our new stage director, and a
practical, experienced operatio sing
er, coach and director, has been riven
carte blanche IN the preparation Of
the production. and John Wen9er. the

rector, has been accorded the widest

where tho Taos Indians supply the
artist with picturesque models. The
region, we take 1t, contains moro than
the properties Of q studio. It is the
seat of really interesting life. Paint
crs who have fingered there have be-
como thoughtful students Of customs
and manners that command respect.
But does Taos do anything talismanic
for its devotees? Granting that place
and people are paintable, is there any
thing about either the one or the othe
which will give the artist any special
sdvantage7 Is there something In this
air Of Taos which stimulates the max
ing Of good pictures? Obviously these
questions answer themselves. An
artist can find IN Taos only what he
takes there.
One Is driven to some such rehec-
tiona as the foregoing by the very fact
that the Taos Society of Artists should
exist as q society. 1t asserts itself as

singularity. Yet It has accomplished
nothing singular. One of these paint
ers, Mr. E. L. Couse, has for number
of years made himself favorably known
through his handsome treatment Of
Indian subjects, and recently Mr.. Julius
Rolshoven has brought back from Taos
some striking souvenirs In the shape
OF vigorously painted portraits. There
arc some other men Of talent repre-
sented in the present exhibition-Mr.
f. l.. Blumenschein, Mr.. Victor Hg-
gins and Mr.. Walter Ufer-whose i'm
pressions arc clevcrly recorded. Mono
of them, however, appears to have cap
tured the one thing iustifying such ex-
tensive travels-none of them has
achieved beauty. They all have man
ual dexterity. They are all skillful in
the bold delineation of those broad
effects, full Of sharp contrasts, char
acteristic of Taos. And they all wake
doubts as to whether those effects are
worth while. Taos, we fear, will not
become great artistic shrine until it
has been put on the map by q great

A Classical Period
In F French Art

There has just been opened ut the
Museum Of French Art the third Of the
loan exhibitions arranged by that use
ful organization. It covers the Di~
rectoire and Empire periods, illustrat-
ing them in collection of about $50
pieces. David Is In painting the
salient figure of the time and he Is
hero interestingly though not bril-
Eantly represented. There are some
charming portraits by Vincent and
others. Ono Of the most welcome Of
the drawings Is an example Of Pru
dhon, that graceful designer, whose
feeling for antique form was alwavs
lightened by delicate eighteen
century sentiment. The exhibition at
large, made up of furniture and
bibelots, books, manuscripts, and mis-
cellaneous objects, IS enveloped In a
purely classical atmosphere. Tho
periods in question were periods Of
decorative discipline They werc
marked by kind Of spare elegance.
They seem In q show Ike this one a
little bleak. But Napoleonic austerity
lad one great virtue-no matter how
cold 1t was 1t made, on the whole, FOR
good taste.

The Delightful Artistic Traits
OF M. Henry Caro.Delvaille

how into the background Such an ex-
hibition NJ. Henry Caro-Delvaille is
making at the Gimpel & Wildensteln
Gallery. His technique concerns US, as
will presently be seen. But the i'm
portant point ia that he is an artistic
personality, man Of ideas, a painter
with something to say. and from a
first impression Of his canvases we re-
ceive q pleasure too varied and too
rich for Us to think overmuch about
the mint and cummin Of his habit with
the brush. BE has given US intima-
tions Of this quality before On the
present occasion he communicates as
he has not hitherto done full sense
Of his aesthetic purpose If the COM
munication has not reached US earlier
1t has not been for want of executive
adroitness, but because the painter has
been occupied, we imagine, in slowly
working out the decorative hypothesis
on which he now bases his appeal.
