Mr.. Pintel proved TO be pianist with
an abiding faith in overtones. He oper-
ated the loud" pedal with assiduity.
His polyphony in Bach was like cloudy
day with occasional flashes OF sunshine.
and the poetry OF Chopin under the
spell OF his hands became one grand.
sweet lullaby. Good fingers and strong
arms enabled the pianist to accomplish
hut little. for his performances showed
little Imagination or power OF COM

Is Planning Tour of

Will Visit Larger Cities
Here.

The Metropolitan Opera Company an
nounced yesterday that It had aband onec
any idea OF giving opera in Covent Gar
den. London. after the close OF the

send the company on tour OF the lead
ing cities OF this country. In making
this announcement the company said
that. while fully appreciative OF the

to 1t. 1t had reached the conclusion that
II cannot find its way to undertake an
operate season in London next year"
Tho London project. which would have
been one OF the greatest magnitude In
the history OF operate production. be-
came known last summer wnen Edward
ziegler assistant general manager OF
fer with the directors Of Covent Garden
and report back to the board OF d.
rectors The scheme would have involved
the sending to London OF the entire
Metropolitan operate force including the
singers. chorus. ballet. musicians and
mechanical departments.
Chief among the considerations which
caused the board and management OF
the Metropolitan to give up the sug-
gested London season and to contem-
plate the extension of the American
season. was the thought that II an extra
season was to be given 1t should be
given in this country.

After careful investigation, the

fully appreciative OF the friendly spirit
of the approaches made to It. has
reached the conclusion that IL cannot see
Its way to undertake an operate season

Among the considerations which have
caused the board and the management
to arrive at this conclusion Is the
thought that II the Metropolitan should
find 1t practicable and advisable to give
a season Of opera after Its regular sea-
son II ought to do SO in this country
rather than abroad.
THE Metropolitan Opera Company Is
constantly being invited and urged by
representative organizations in the lead
ing cities throughout this country to
visit those cities. II has heretofore ad,
hered to the rule Of declining all such in
vitations. except only the traditional

by the desire to do their Part 70 meet
