will find something Of unique interest
in the entertainment, if that is the
proper name for it, to be given at the
Cosmopolitan Club this evening. There
Mr.. Marius Barbeau, Mr.. de Repe-
tigny, Mr.. Bedard and Miss Lorraine
Wyman will give glimpses into the
lives, customs and emotions of the
primitive French settlers of Canada.
Mr.. Barbeau will preface the ex-
position with an address on the sub
ject in English, but the stories and
songs will be delivered by his com
panions in their original dialect. Dr.
Barbeau is member of the staff of the
Ethnological Department of the Do
minion Civil Service at Ottawa, a grad
uate from Laval University, Montreal,
and was one of the first holders of
Rhoades scholarship at Oxford. Up
about 1000 folksongs from the inhabi-
tants of the region bordering on the
lower reaches of the St. Lawrence Riv-
er. Mr.. de Repetigny is an old folk
song singer who is so interested in
his subject that, though no scholar
in any sense, he has gathered hundreds
of records for the government bureau
al Ottawa. Miss Wyman, it is scarcely
necessary to state, has done notable
work in gathering and promulgating
vived among the mountaineers of the
Appalachian Range in the United
States. Messrs. de Repetigny and Bedard
will give the songs and stories
as the people sing and tell them. Miss
Wyman will have the help of Miss
Emerson, her accompanist. to disclose
the artistic value of some French Can
adian songs, and provide an opportu-
nifty for comparison with those Of other
peoples. The program is as follows:

Many Compositions Received
By Riesenfeld i'm Prize Contest

Seventy-seven compositions have been
received in the competition for the $500
prize offered by Hugo Riesenfeld, di-
rector of the Rivoli, Rialto and Criterion
theaters, for the best overture suitable
for presentation at his houses In addi-
tion to the cash reward Mr. Riesenfeld
promised a presentation by at least one
OF his orchestras and free publication,
with all royalties to go to the composer.
The contest was to close on March 81,
but announcement of it's closing date
was delayed so that all manuscript
mailed prior to that date might be re-
corded.
Edward Falck, formerly assistant oon-
ductor of the Metropolitan Opera Com
pany, chairman of the committee
selected by Mr.. Riesenfeld to pick the
winner, said yesterday that it will be
at least two months and perhaps longer
before the choice can be made, His
associates on the committee are Fred
erick Stahlberg, conductor of the
Rivoli orchestra; Josiah EURO, Mr..
Humiston, Mr.. Lange and Mr.. EURO.
Thus far Mr.. Falck has discovered
several compositions that are of more
than ordinary merit 1t is probable that
several of the composers other than the
prize winner will be given an opportu-
nifty to have their works presented by
the Rivoli or Rialto musicians because

brothers de Reszke and Plancon in "Les
Huguenots." But to remember those
day is like recalling a golden age in
New York's operate history. Such
recollections must not be indulged, lest
they lead to discomfort with the things
vouchsafed to-day.
AS to the omissions of operas from
the various subscription days, while we
fancy that Mr.. Gatti's knowledge of
the predictions of his patrons had
something to do with the character Of
the lists, we are not inclined to at
tempt to draw a lesson from them.
To some extent they were determined,
of course, by such needs as the dis
tribution of the services Of Caruso and
Miss Farrar, the exigencies caused bv
the visits to Philadelphia, and con-
sideration for the physical abilities and
contractual rights Of other members Of
the company. We note that MONDAYS
audiences went without "LItaliana in
Algeri," I'll Trovatore," "L'Amor- del
tire Re-" "Marouf," "Parsifal" and Eu
gene Onegin." The first and last of
these operas being two of the seasons
novelties, their omission may be said
to cast significant light on the pre-
dilections of the people who have made

''Lohengrin" at the Capitol

"Lohengrin" will be sung in English
this week at the Capitol Theater. Man
aging Director Edward Bowes has Sc
cured cast hesded by Carl Jorn
and William Beck. Goddard. formerly
with the Chicago Opera Association,
Cancelled a two years contract that he
might 'do his bit" in the war.
Mr.. Beck sang for three seasons with
the Manhattan Opera Company, and
later for seven years with the Chicago
Opera Association. During 1912 he
sang the part of the Sheriff in the Saw
age production of 'The Girl OF the
Golden West" Among favorites with
Capitol Theater patrons included in the
cast are Wilfred Glenn; bass, Irene
Williams, soprano, and Cesar Nesi and
Leonard Sanford, tenors. The newcom-
ers include Gladys Martell, Lillian
Tovell, Olga Macmillan, Hermonie
Hudon, Mecca Blommaert and Ena Nick
olay.
The first act only will be presented.
A new production has been made for
this by John Wenger, painter and art
director of the Capitol. William G.
Stewart is staging the revival and Ma
thaniel Finston will conduct.
New-York tribune., 1920-04-25

Before producing the tabulated state
sment and few comments, which may
Ssiy accompany it, attention may be di-
reeted TO the fact that the following
operas, which were heard in the season
of 1s1S-'19, were omitted from the list
~ the season just ended, viz: LA Figlia
Gel Reggimento," "Crispino 9 la Camare,"
Ia Reine Fiamette," "Petrouschka" {"
ieallet), "Mireille," "The Legend, 1.-THE
temple Dancers" and "Shanewis" One
1s'i Of these, we fancy, have departed
permanently from the Metropolitan
stage. The additions to the list were
LA Juive," "LTtaliana in Algen,"
sIoiseau Bleu." "Zaza," "Clcopatra's
wight" "Parsifal," "M&non" and "Eu-
ssns Onkgin." In ons-half Of these we
are Inclined TO see merits which ought
~ make them enduring. However, the
sssment OF life for the near future in
aas Metropolitan repertory rests more
Upon the singers than upon the COM
Positions.

Monday the night of fashion. For them
to forego the old opera by Rossini, which
they had never heard, and the new
opera by Tschaikoffsky was preferable
to missing a twenty-ffth "Tosca" or
fiftieth Marta" "Parsifal" was too
serious thing to think of, of course;
it might have recalled the time when
Mr.. Grau obliged them to accept "Tris-
tan und Isolde" on an opening night
of the season, after their hearts had
long been accustomed to hunger for
"Faust" or "Romeo ct Juliette" on such
occasions. But there was Jean de
Reszke to sugarcoat the pill in those
days.
Wednesdays subscribers missed "La
Boheme," "Il Barbiere di Sivigia," ell
Trovatore," "L'Amore del ire Re-"
"Marouf," "Cavalleria, Rusticana" and
"L'Oiseau .Bleu"-the last a novelty.

It used to happen so frequently that
season ended leaving managerial
promises in respect Of new productions
unfulflled that this reviewer was wont
to liken those promises to lovers per-
juries at which Jupiter laughed. This
time Mr.. Gatti redeemed every word
Of his prospcetuses issued last summer.
He brought forward four works new
to the local stage, two of which were
new to the world, and revived an equal
number which had been permitted to

New-York tribune., 1920-04-25


go far as the subscribers are con-
cerned there are three considerations
which the manager is compelled to
keep in mind and which have a large
influence in shaping the repertory Of
the season: He must, first of all, since
the worship of individuals still takes
precedence of everything else in what
may be called the fashionable contin-
gent of his patrons, meaning those
who are in regular attendance on the
subscription nights, see to it that the
inestimable boon Of hearing Mr. Caruso
and Miss Farrar, is distributed as
equitably as possible throughout the
subscription performances; what they
sing is matter of secondary i'm
portance as long as there goes with
the distribution an equally impartial
distribution Of the operas in which
they sing. Secondly, he must try to
give all of the subscribers an oppor-
tunity to hear the novelties of the sea-
son. Thirdly, he must let his subscrib-
ers hear as many as possible Of the
operas which make up his repertory.
Since there are moro operas than there
are weeks, he must, of course, with
hold some Of operas from every
one of the subscription occasions, and
in the manner In which this is done,
as well as in his choice of operas for
afternoons and the Saturday evening
performances at popular prices, an OBJ
server, given to analysis, may arrive
at Mr.. Gatti's estimation Of the taste
Of his patrons or at least Of that
manifestation Of their taste which is
disclosed by the reports Of the box
Office. Those who wish to indulge in
such study are invited to contemplate
the following facts concerning the
season:
The subscribers for Monday nights
| were privileged to hear Mr.. Caruso
eight times in the twenty-three weeks
and Miss Farrar seven, leaving eight
evenings in which they were invited to
hear operas for the sake Of the operas
and not to crafty their admiration for
the singers; Wednesdays subscribers
heard Caruso and Miss Farrar seven
| times each; Thursdays Caruso seven
times Che was compelled to disappoint
them once by illness) and Miss Farrar
five Fridays, Caruso seven times and
Miss Tarrar FIVE; Saturdays Caruso five
| times and Misc Farrar, who Is particu-
iarly the object Of female idolatry.
