Original Cast Repeats
''Zaza'' at Metropolitan
Leoncavallo Opera Gives Miss
Farrar an Opportunity to
Startle With Daring

The music of "Zaza." if. not as good
as we believe Leoncavallo fondly
thought it. is not as bad as has been
represented 1t is not fresh or origi-
nal, nor even characteristic of it's com
poser except in places where it is remi
nlscent of "Pagliacci," and even in it's
best moments it is sadly lacking in
distinction; but it challenges praise
which must go to the creation of a
man who knew his business, knew it
thoroughly. And the first act, barring
the profiigacy of the principal charac-
ter, which Miss Farrar displayes with
daring. effrontery but consummate art
Of 1T be allowable to call it that is a
masterpiece of construction.
With it the merit of the drama vir-
tually stops, and having little incentive
to lofty flight, the music also droops
it's pinions, though rising to a brief
fight of pathos in the scene with the
child in the third act where the old
melody of Cherubini for a space leav-
ems the lump. On the whole the
opera justifies its existence better than
the music of some of his other works
which the composer produced on his
ill-starred visit to the United States
1t was repeated again at the Metro
politan Opera House last night with
the original cast of singers and won
the same measure of appreciation which
was meted out to it at its first per
formance.

how it would be with Peter. "That

He will think that probably have for

to know what is going on in the Old

as surely as he plants his hind feet in

So, just as jolly, round, red Mr. Sun

Hills on the third day after Reddy's
visit to the Old Briar-patch, Reddy
stole up through the Old Orchard to
the far corner where Johnny Chuck

that was where Peter was in the habit
of jumping over the old stone wall
Just one good jump from that low

Bedtime Stories
By Thornton w. Burgess
Reddy Fox Lies in Wait
When all seems aVell and a,nught to fear
There may be hidden DANGER near.

For two or three days Peter Rabbit
remained in the dear Old Briar-patch.
He knew that little Mrs. Peter was
quite right when she told him that if
he had any wisdom at all he would
remain where he was safe. He knew
that Reddy Fox would not soon forget
how he had been fooled. He knew that
Reddy would do his very best to get
even. SO for two or three days timid
little Mrs. Peter had no occasion to
worry about Peter.
But in some ways Peters memory is
very short. 1t is apt to be that way
with most Of the people of the Green
Forest and the Green Meadows. Hav-
ing escaped a danger they promptly
forget all about it. You see, most Of
them have at least one narrow escape
every day. Sometimes they have sew
eral in day. So they very quickly
get over fright. 1t was so with
Peter.
Now, Reddy Fox, who is very sly and
