LUCCHESE AS
I G|LDA SCORES
IN 'R|C0LETT0'
Newcomer to Capital Furnishes
Splendid Soprano-Agos-
TIM PIeases.

In Josephine Lucchese, singing the
role of Gilda in Verdi's "Rigoletto.'
the San Carlo Grand Opera Company
presented last night at Polls one of
the best sopranos heard here In years.
except on the concert stage.
Miss Lucchese possesses a voice OF
remarkable sweetness and fexibility.
and has other attributes of person
which eminently fit her to portray
the unfortunate heroine of the SON.
Der. but beautiful work Of Giuseppi
Verdi.
Her Gilda is a character of sim
plicity and charm. half resisting. the
dutiful daughter, albeit strong In the
greatness Of her love for Walter.
Commencing with her duets with
Rigoletto, "Veglia o donna" and Och
non parlare al misero." Miss Lucchese
won her way into the hearts of the
audience. Her next number. "E II sol
dell anima," sung with the duke. was
q beautiful rendition Of this tuneful
aria, but was, after all, but a prelude
to a most remarkable "Caro Nome"
which was shortly to come.
In this beautiful and well.beloved
aria, the soprano rose to heights OF
the true prfma donna. All the trlils,
roulades and staccatos which adorn
the ending Of this number were
poured forth lavishly and unsparing-
ly. and marked Miss Lucchese as q
dilda such Is seldom heard beyond the
walls Of the Metropolitan Opera
House.
Giuseppe Agostini, singing the part
Of the duke, is well-known in Wash
ington. He was the ideal duke, light
hearted. irresponsible, the lover none
can resist. Ease and abandon marked
his La donna . mobile" which ne
was forced to repeat, singing the diff
ficult cadenza in the second part with
the effectiveness Of the true artist.
The role Of the unfortunate Jester,
'Rgoletto, is one of heroic proportions,
such as to tax to the utmost the vocal
and histrionic powers Of the baritone
cast in this part. Gaetano Viviano
sang superbly the many difficult and
tuneful numbers which were his por-
ton, and was ever alive to the
dramatic possibilities of the character.
Less important parts were capably
sung, and q small but well-trained
chorus, in the guise Of courtiers,
Iadies-in waiting and pages added to
the smoothness Of the performance.
Ernesto Knoch conducted.
"Madama Butterfly" will be sung
tonight, with Fitziu, Paggi, Agostini
and Vale in the leading roles.

CITY RESERVOIRS LOWERING.
Lost one-Fifth of Their Capacity in
Past 10 Days.

II the water in the Orange and Boil
ster reservoirs continues to lower as
fast during the remainder Of the sum
mer as It has in the past l6 days, then
Barre is destined tc be in for an acute
water shortage. Since June l3 both
reservoirs have lost one-fifth of their
capacity. due in a lare measure 10
the continued hot weather and alb
sence Of rain.
Both reservoirs on the above date
were fun. Yesterday, when measured
by Water Superintendent 5. J.. Rug
giles, the Orange reservoirs supply had
lowered three feet and that Of the Boil
ster reservoir foot and a half. Had
the stonesheds of Barre been operat-
ing this summer as in years past, Barre
consumers would have become con-
scious of this drought long before now.
The heavy rains Of Monday evening
and Tuesday morning replenished the
supply but slightly. the rain having
been absorbed mostly by the dry fields
and thirsty crops. People dependent
on the eity reservoirs should be con
in their use Of water, or
drastic conservation will be compelled
later in the summer. such being the
,nlv means OF insEring a water supply
10 the people unless heavy showers re-
store the reservoir volumes.
