Nine. Matzeunuer's Singing.

Nor can the individual impersonations
be adequately described this morning.
Nine. Matzenauer's ISolda, was well
worth while but despite some moments
OF real splendor and many Of impressive
sincerity 1t could not fully realize the
singers own ideal. The voice is not a
dramatic soprano. It's best tones are
in the lower medium and in passages
where these predominated Nine. Mat
zenauer's singing had a real thrill.
But in the stormy outbursts of ISoldd's
first scene and in the mai stic threnody
OF the final episode the sweep and con-
quest OF true soprano of high register
were wanting. The singers interpreted

well sustained. and only the musical inn
possibilities which confronted her ham,

Curiously enough, Miss Jean Gordon,
wo sang Brdngdene, contralto role.
disclosed tones OF a truer soprano timbre
than those OF the TsoIdd. Miss Gordon's
essay was her first in this kind of art
and was creditable, but by no means all
that Il should grow TO be after more ex-
perience In the role. She sang the
watch song unexpectedly well.

Change In the Action.

The English version used yesterday
began with that of II. and F. Corder,
which was revised and edited by SieS-
mund Spaeth and Miss Cecil Cowdrey.
The verbal alterations are in the direc-
ton of correctness, often sacrificed by
the Corders. and vocal smoothness But
since 1t is obviously impossible to inter-
est the public in the employment OF
English text and since most of it is
quite as unintelligible as the German.
comment on it would be idle.
One point, however, must be noted.
The tragedy of Tristan and Isolda"
rests upon Brdn0dene's hastily deter
mined substitution of the love philter
for the drink of DEATH" In the stage
business" as printed in the libretto de-
livered to yesterdays audience there
was nothing to indicate anything of the
kind. and on the stage the action was
performed behind a couch and in such a
pointless manner that it could not have
been seen by many and must have been
meaningless to all. This action can cas-
lily be corrected, and should be.
Owing to the change in language the
opera had been restudied. Under the di-
rection of Artur Bodanzky a musical en-
semble of genuine merit was created
That there was lack of balance between
voices and orchestra at times was in
evitable. but the voluptuous melodic
quality of the score, its passiona =
surges and recessions, its poignant ut
terances OF yearning. spiritual abandon
ment and despair were delivered to the
great audience with burning intensity by
singers well trained TO the task and an
orchestra most admirable in its plas-
ITCHY. It's wealth of transparent color
and its justly placed dramatic accents.
hod
no one OF which effaced memories of the
older mountings But of these and the
sometimes awkward stage action caused
by their design. which among other
things plainly sought to force most of
the action to the front but sometimes
too far to the rear. more may be said
at another time.

TRISTAN" SILENCED BY WAR,
HAS REVIVAL IN ENGLISH
Wagner's Opera Heard With
Nine. Matzenauer and Mr..
Sembach in Title Roles.

Wagner's Tristan and Isolda." as II

stored to the repertory of the Metro
politan Opera House at the first matt
nee of the season yesterday. The re-
vival awakens memories. On April 8.

At noon the next day the First Battalion
of New York Naval Militia marched
down Fifth avenue to entrain for the
League Island Navy Yard. there to be
distributed among fighting ships. This
first departure OF New York militia

April the United States had begun
war with Germany.
One German opera performance re-
manned on Mr.. Gatti-Casazza' schedule
and was permitted to be given. The
work was Tristan und Isolde" the date
April IA, the cast Nine. Gadslti as Isolde,
Nine. Matzenauer as Brdngden Mr.. Ur-

No more Wagner was heard from the
Metropolitan stage till "Parsifal' was
revived in English last season.

Descendants Of the sturdy Vikings,
of the venturesome Puritans or of
the Forty-Niners who navigated the
uncharted deserts of the west in
their prairie schooners, you will find
them today in ever increasing
thousands on every highway and
trail.
In course of time this class of
motorists probably will have some
kind of organization-The Explor-
ers' Club or the Adventures Clan
and it is quite certain that among
those qualified for charter member
ship will be A. H. Pitney of Marsh
field, Oregon.
When Mr.. Pitney decided to. go to
California, he did nothing so prossaic
as to go to the railway station and
purchase tickets for himself and his
family. Instead he bought a used
Hudson Super-Six which already had
seen 5000 miles of service.
Then he acquired a camping out
fit and started on an exceedingly
roundabout way to California. The
route included Portland, Seattle,
Butte and Livingstone, Mont. From
Livingstone he motored to Yellow
stone Park and then to Jackson's

authorized F. P. Allen, superintend-

Quads were loaded with two-tons Of
baled alfalfa, and a determined
"drive" was made for the imperiled
cattle.
The storm had left from eighteen
inches to three feet of snow which
had formed drifts from six to eight
feet in depths. Sheepmen from the
surrounding country rounded up one
hundred head of horses and drove
them into drifts ahead Of hte caval-
cade of Quads. With the opening
thus made the Quads plunged into the
heavy banks of snow and the struggle
to reach the ranges was begun.
Those who participated in the res

Quads to progress in the face of con-

Because of the unusually heavy
storms this winter the cattle found it
impossible to burrow for food and a
storm which swept that section sew
eral weeks ago made the situation
desperate. Efforts to carry food
across the snow-bound ranges to the
cattle proved futile, it being impos-
sible for rear-driven trucks or horse
drawn vehicles to make any progress.
