Farrar as ManOn
Adds New Charms
10 Masse11et Opera
Singer in Better Voice Than
in Opening Performance;
Hackett's Vocal;zat;on
Seldom Surpassed Here

Massenet's "Manon" received it's sec
ond performance last night at the Met
ropolitan and brought renewed delight
at it's restoration to the local repertory.
Massenet is the Vatican Of operatic
composers and "Manon" is his master
piece. In it is the perfume Of old Yer
which never can be again, and not a
little of its silken cruelty. Happily, the
present revival is in most respects
WORTHY Of the opera.
Nine. Farrar has always been q
Manon of exquisite grace and charm
and last night she was in better voice
than at the opening performance. In.
deed, her Manon ranks with the best OF
her creations. And then at last the
Metropolitan has a Des Grieux. Charles
hackett is the aristocrat in figure and
bearing and he sings the music with ex-
quisite sense of phrase and rare dis.
tinction. Last night his singing of the
"Reve" was as beautiful bit of vocal
ization as New York has heard in many
a season.
Giuseppe de Luca is less happy as
Lescaut, the blug braggart escaping
him, but Leon Rothier has rare dignity
as the Compte Des Grieux; and the
smaller parts, and notably those of
Mr.. Qua and Mr. Segurola, are all we'll
taken. Albert Wolff gives of the score
a truly inspired reading, and it is as
much to him as TO any one that is due
the success Of the revival. 1t is a
pity that such tawdy scenery should
have been furnished for the Cour la
Refine scene. America has a number
of young scenic artists who could have
given this scene the brlliance of set
ting without which it is feeble in eff
feet.

Film Star Fails to Impress
in Her Debut as Star
of Piece Which Sets
a Record for Nonsense
TIE CAST
By Haywood Broun

Ruth Gordon, the heroine Of "The
Blue Flame" used cocaine, spoke
GROSSLY to her maid, instigated the
theft Of an emerald, murdered young
man, took money from a gentleman
other than her husband, said You go

young girls heart, refused to see

merchant after midnight, gave hex
latchkey to a rounder and smoked a
cigarette. Ruth was bad Miss Theda
bara played the role without violating
any of the city ordinances, but she was
not so very good either. After all, we
people make so much fuss about mur-
ders.
AT the end Of the third act Miss
Bara said that God had been very kind
to her. Probably she referred to the
fact that at no time during the evening
did the earth open and swallow up the
authors, the star and all the company.
However, it has often been remarked
that the patience Of Heaven is infinite
Still, as we remember it, Jonah was

For the first two acts the play was
amusing and interesting because the
spectator was constantly asking him
self can such things really be-" At
the end of the third act there was no
escaping the conclusion that they were.
lne play tells the story Of an agnostic
doctor who restored a dead woman TO
life but forgot to restore her soul,
whercupon her conduct and her gram
mer Immediately become fearful. At
tho end the doctor woke up and dis
covered that it was all dream. We
half suspect that we shall do the same.
1t hardly seems possible that any
play could be as bad as that which
George V. Hobart and John Willard
have fashioned from "Lcta Vance Mich

here the horrifying thought intrudes
if Mr.. Hobart and Mr. Willard have
touched up and improved the original
material what must be the nature of
Leta Vance Nichoisons-but it is too
much.
The playing of Miss Bara is, if any
thing, more extraordinary than the
melodrama IN which she appeared 1t
was perhaps no surprise to find that
she knew nothing of the use Of her
voice and spoke usually, like a high
school girl in the first rehearsal of a
set piece. Still, almost everybody else
who has come to the speaking stage
from FINLAND has displayed a consid-
cradle sense of the value of gesture
and has been discreet and graceful in
movement. Miss Theda Bara made no
appeal to eye, ear or intelligence. Sew
