liked the music as a score from
the first and felt that if it failed the
fault was in the Metropolitan per-
formance. They do all modern
French things more or less badly,
but l thought this one had had espe-
claliy unsympathetic, unidiomatic
treatment. | resolved to hear it to-
night, seeing that the composer was
conducting, and that Pe1ier, who
Rabaud told me created it, was sing
ing.
Well. have had such diverting
evening as one seldom has at the
opera. Perhaps you will say it is
not grand opera, and of course it
gained the advantage of intimate at
mosphere. People heard the lines as
they couldn't at the Metropolitan,
even with an ideal cast. But, aside
from the perfect impersonation of
Perler, his comedy which never
wholly lost dignity, although it was
broad, even farcical, he never ceased
to sing legitimately and he never
lost the tone of romance and did not
have to change the key in the love
scenes.
OF course. he could not sing like
de Luca, and it would have been nice
II the voice had been more purely
lyric. But for all purposes of max
ing the performance adequate, and
the achievement of the operas per-
1ect presentation, he was all one
would ask. Equally the soprano.
nalmain,, sang pretty tryingly at
times; she was inclined to keen IN
strenuous passion and made the
noises of an irritated peahen. But.
unlike Aida, she had various colors.
and in her vivacious humor. the bait
ing of the father and the tantalizinp
OF the Vizier, for instance, she had
sarcasm and delicious tone color.
But the sum of it was that it was
all characteristic and all SATISFYING

but the ensemble, >illustrated Ra,
paud's score so that it assumed
natural expression, had raison

musical value before, have now tic
impression that is one of the most
interesting modern efforts. If a
'~N'N VI So>H iiiiS HuSlCIdHSHlD can
give such pleasure there is an excuse
for going on with opera. 1t still
seems vital form. And it is worth
while that work which surely does
not pander can achieve sixty-seven
performances. 1t is a success of
notable import.
So we come back to the artistic
crime of seeming to assume that
opera is a matter of vocalism and
scenery. The Metropolitan ought to
be interdicted from giving French
opera with singers without training
in the French school and without
diction
The house roared with laughter at
times, but were perfectly serious in
their attitude when they listened to
the love-music. Throughout there
was a sympathetic and en- rapport
atmosphere in the house

BANKS DROP CUBAN
GROUP LOAN PLAN
Diverse Interests of Institu-
tons in Project Given as
Chief Reason.
INVOLVED FIFTY MILLION
Government Of Island Has
Been Requested to Extend
Moratorium.
INVOLVED FIFTY MILLION

Following a series OF conferences Of
New York bankers. yesterday, II was
learned that the plan under which the
New York banks were to take over
the loans held by Cuban banks against
the sugar growers OF the island had
been abandoned. The chief reason
given for the decision to scrap the
plan was the great diversity of inter-
ests OF the various American banking
institutions included in 1t. Some Of
the banks have their own branches In
Cuba and others operate through cor
respondents. and those and other equally
unsatisfactory reasons were RESPONSE
BILE for the abandonment OF the idea.
The plan as 1t had been developed
provided for taking over loans Of $40
900 GOO and $4,000. 900, held by Cuban in
stitutions, by American and Canadian
banks. In that way the Cuban banks
would be helped out of the difficulties
which made necessary the declaration
of a moratorium on the island. Those
loans are secured by approximately
100000 tons of sugar. valued at current
quotations around siT,0c0.00o. 1t was
estimated that probably s3o.0oo,Oo had
been loaned on that sugar. and that ad-
vanoes of 100000 and s9o.oOo.Ooo on
the new crop had been made. The
difficulties In the way of obtaining
Joint action of the American and Cana
dian banks, however, resulted in the
overthrow Of the scheme.
The banking institutions Interested In
Cuba from now on will have to handle
their affairs individ tally unless new
group is formed and q new plan of ac-
ton worked out. The original plan o.
making a loan to the Cuban Government,
which, In turn, would take care OF the
needs Of the banks there. was scra pped
some Tine ago because Of The necessity
for legislation and the imperative need
Of immediate action.
A continuation of the moratc rum for
thirty or sixty days beyond December ],
the date for It's expiration. is expected to
re the outcome Of those latest develop
ments. Bankers were not INCLINED yes
terday to express any opinion as to how
the situation would work out But II
was known that at a conference held
ON the preceding day the New York
bankers Interested in the situation had
decided to ask the Cuban Government to
extend the moratorium period for an
other thirty or sixty days.
