lcavallo's music. lie was in New York six
years ago, and then he made statement
to the effect that he preferred it to "Pagl-
iacci." 1t is melodious and light. There
are touches of passionate vocal utterance.
There are bits of sentimental music. But
it never is thrillingly dramatic or is it ever
dull. f
Leoncavallo knew how to make his
music interesting. He knew just when
to change The mood and just how to
manage pauses and cliInaxes. He is a
master of technique in opera. Pagl-
iacci'' is the first proof, and "Zaza' car
ries il out No one will be apt to call
'Zaza" a great opera. but many Will call
the Metropolitan's offering a great per-
formance.
The staging Is not particularly elaborate
or striking. It is we'll done. as are all
things at the metropolitan. The interest
lies in the characterization of roles and
in the fact that the opera moves with the
rapidity OF real play and not with the
slowness OF most operas. 'Zaza' snouio
be popular with the opera going public.
Miss Fnrrar's Best Role.
The feature of "Zaza" is beyond cues
ton Miss Farrar's characterization OF the
role of the music hall singer. IT Is the
most artistic thing she has ever done. 1t Is
not an easy role. Few opera houses couid
do the opera for lack of a capable inter-
prefer.
In the first act Miss Farrar was TYPICAL
ly of the stage. She seemed to enjoy her-
self as she dressed and undressed, chang
ing costume5, displaying lingerie ana
stockings profusely. once when witch her
back to the audience she barred it TO the

waist the spectators gasped. All through
the lively first act she was full OF life.
vivacious and charming. She always had
the sympathy of the audience. Everyone
was amused at her little stage crudtles-
her staginess.
Later her moods were more serious. She
was still coarse creature-a woman of
underworld. Gradually she put a note
OF sincerity into her acting. She became
seriously in, love with Dufresne. Then In
the third act she became Just a woman
angry at first but heartbroken later--and
many in the audience shed tears as she
acted her scene with the child. The secret
of her success lay in the fact that her
hearers were touched.
Next to Miss Farrar It was child OF
five who won the biggest success of the
night. She is Ada Quintina and she had
the port Of Toto. She received as much
applause as Miss Farrar after the third
act. Her father was an Italian chorus
singer who was killed fighting for Italy.
Her mother was wardrobe woman at the
Metropolitan who died in Mexico Of pneu-
monia three years ago. The child was in
Boston when her, mother died. p. Quin-
tina, a. chorus man at the Metropolitan,
is her godfather and at her mothers
death adopted her. She has appeared in
other child parts at the opera. but had no
such opportunity to display her unusual
talent before.
Between the acts she ran out before the
curtain TO pick up a few bouquets which
had been thrown at her and Miss Farrar
ard the audience applauded her wildly.
Mr.. Otto III. Kahn and Giulio Gatti-
Casazza went back stage to congratulate
her after her performance. That's the
way Eleanora Duse started" Mr.. Gatti-
casazza informed her.

French by David Belasco in 1899 and pro-
duced with Mrs. Leslie Carter in the title
lole
There is bit OF sentiment for New
aerk theatregoers about this play. 1T
pad 1oeep a failure in Paris until Mr.,
i3elasco produced it here But after its
american success it became one of the
most popular roles for emotional actresses
on both sides of the Atlantic. But a
review of 'ZaZa' would be quite super
1luous without first mentioning that Miss
Geraldine Farrar sung the title role.
For several seasons Miss Farrar has
been searching for parts suitable for an
emotional singing actress-for she is above
all an actress who sings. She has tried
the principal roles in La Reine Fla
1nette, " 'Suor Angelica" 'Lodoletta" and
several other well known operas. Bat
none of them has been exactly suited
TO her. She could not have found any
Thing more to her liking than ''Zaza-" 1t
seems to have been written for her ard
she to have been trained for it. IN this
ease the opera is OF second Importance

'Zaza' was sung in Chicago and in
