consequent cessation of it's activities is
undoubtedly the most calamitous hap
pening that has occurred in British
music for many years.
From national point of view the
situation is the more distressing be-
cause the liquidation of the company
was caused principally on account Of
the heavy losses sustained during the
last grand season of foreign opera and
Russian ballet given at Covent Garden,
in which the limited company was heav-
lily interested. In consequence of this
|, iiQuidation the successful English per-
formances (Which were so finely sup
ported not only in London, but in Man
chester, Birmingham, Leeds, Bradford,
Edinburgh and Glasgow have tempo
rarily come to an end, and company
that was firmly established, with fine
record of creditable work and a great
following, is no longe9 before the pub
lie. The conductors, artists, musical
staff and chorus of the company allied
with the Beecham Symphony Orchestra
have now decided to form themselves
into the British National Opera Com
pany, Ltd, and to run the organization
on cooperative lines.
at is obviously beyond the capacity
OF any one individual to undertake the
financial responsibility entailed in run
ming so big and representative a COM
pany. Cooperative effort therefore
seems to be the only solution. 1t is
the first time in the history Of music
III this country that we'll known con-
ductors, leading artists and first
class orchestra have Joined forces for
the giving of opera in which all it's
active members will be shareholders.
AT a representative meeting of the
members of the company it was de-
cided that the control of the organiza-
ton should vested in board of direc-
tors elected by ballot. The directors
have power and intend to add to their
number financial experts and members
interested in the social side Of opera
giving, and a general manager will be
appointed shortly.
ut is the intention of the company
TO give spring and autumn seasons of
opera in London, Joining them by a
tour in the great provincial centers,
and continuous series of perform
ances extending over period of forty
weeks per annum is their aim. 1t is
their hope to provide not only a ma
tional assets but what may eventually
become national property. The direc-
tors are most anxious TO avoid clash
ing with other operate interests, and
they know from experience that there
ia great public anxious to hear and
eager to support performances of opera
in English if given In the best possible
manner, and they are confident that
the scheme can be made a sound com
merciai proposition. 1t is hardly neces-
sary to draw attention to the great
possibilities for musical benefit that
are contained in the organization, con-
stituted as it is of SO many leading
native artists and an orchestra that is
so famous, all imbued with the highest
artistic aims"

know, large proportion Of the best
English singers who have cultivated
opera, an experienced chorus, and a
very fine orchestra. 1t is the first time
that number OF English musicians
united Tor such purpose. Every per-
former, whether on the stage or in the
orchestra, will be q shareholder TO a
degree proportionate to his earning
capacity. All have agreed, in the event
OF week of bad takings, to accept
proportionately reduced salaries all
around.
Hopes for the success of the under
taking are based on the well-proved
gifts of the brilliant people whose CO.
operation is assured. The directors
are all leading lights in the English
musical world. Four represent the
singers--xiz., Nine. Agnes Nichols, the
leading soprano Of the Beecham Com
pany; Mr.. Walter Hyde, tenor; and Mr..
Robert Radford and Mr.. Norman Allin,
hasses. Four others represent the or
chestra--Messrs. Thomas r. Busby, Van
der Meerschen, horn player; Horace
Halstead and Percy Pitt {musical d.
rector).
"AmoeR the other players and sing
ers of distinction who are collaborating
in the scheme are Messrs. Albert
Coates, Eugene Goosens, Julius Harri-
son (conductors); Mines. Agnes Mich
oils, Elsa STRATA, Jeanne Brola ESQ
Ipranos), Edna Thornton, Misses Gladys
Ancrum, Edith Clegg (contraltos),
Messrs. Frank Mullings, Frederick
Blamcy, Webster Millar (tenors), Fred
eric Austin, Frederick Ranalow, Powell
Edwards, Herbert Langley and Foster
Richardson (barytones and basses).
The London Daily News, in writing
Of the new company, said:
"Tne first performances of the new
company will take place in London in
September, and it is not unlikely that
Der Rosenkavalier' will be in the
repertoire of the first short season. A
longer season will follow at the end of
the year.
Taken as g whole, the scheme has
hopeful look. The cooperation of all
concerned in the actual production of
opera is good omen, and without
precedent. 1t affords grounds for hop
ing that both artistic excellence and
economy will be studied and combined
IN way rarely possible in operate
management. 1t only remains for the
public to show that it really wants
opera-pernanent opera-of it's own.
sit has already been shown that the
material for frst-csass performances
exists in this country The fact that
it was deprived of ore of its best
chances of showing itself was the most
lam entable feature of the enforced
abandonment of the Beecham enter
prise. Nor is it necessary to speak of
the value of the undertaking to our
potential composers of opera, who have
suffered mainly from the lack of oppor-
tunity Of educating themselve inside
the theater, which is, after all, the best
classroom for them
A letter from Robert Radford, one of
the directors of the new company, to
The Manchester Guardian contains
some interesting points relative to the
rev project. Mr.. Radford's letter said

Etchings in Show for
Summer Students

Etchings in Show for
Summer Students
An instructive exhibition of etchings
and other prints has been provided by
the KeppeI galleries for the summer
school students of Columbia University
at Avery Hall. Six stages of copper
plate engraving, illustrating Ddrer's art,
are shown. Counter proof or reverse
printing and the mezzotint process are
similarly illustrated. The collection in
cludes the work of Jean FRANCOIS Millet,
Anders Zorn, Legros, Joseph Pennell,
]. G. Willie and Kerr Ely. The latter's
examples portray various scenes Of hat
tleheld action, while among the Whist
Ter prints are LA Vile aux Loques,"
'The Forge" "The Rag Pickers,"
Anne Seated" THE Longshoremen"
and birmingham"
Eight groups of pictures in various
media and revealing considerable
technical appreciation and cleverness
compose the show by Florence Wynar
WINS in classroom B at the Metropoli-
tan Museum Of Art. Her attention is
eentered throughout upon the sphere Of
childhood activity. There are many de-
lightful little glimpses into this field
that are full of simplicity and roman
tie charm. What fine record hers will
be for the future grown-ups that she
has pictured here as childreni There
Is nothing stilted or posed about hers
work. Each little subject she has
caught unawares, it appears, and it is
in that same unaffected manner that it
is transferred to the paper. There is
4 series of water color drawings,
Bread and JAM" "A Knight" "The
Boat" and Bubbles" being among the
best, all done in a dignity of style and
simplicity of color. Two groups of
Little Sketches" in water color and
pen-and-ink are of similar subjects,
though more freely drawn. Besides,
there are wood cuts, drawings in
black and white and thirty-two little
drawings, mostly of wild flowers, the
latter done with marked degree of de-
tail and accuracy. A series Of broad
sides and drop scenes, illustrating folk

Cooperative Opera To Be
Established i'm London
Sew Company Composed of Artists, Singers and
Orchestral Players Determined to Make
Opera in English Success

A new project which promises the
solid establishment of English opera on
.he best scale is about to be launched
in London, according to an announce
ment in The London Daily Mali early
this month. All Of the London news
papers have commented upon the new
project and have speculatsd upon its
meaning and its future from every
angle.
The promoters of the new company,
whirh is called the British National
Opera Company, arc the singers and
orchestral players Of the late Beecham
Opera Company. They have Joined to-
gether on a cooperative basis IN produce
and perform opera in English as a per-
manert organization.
"The most charming surprise, for
many of US, in the return to civil life
early in 1919, was to find, in full swing
at Drury Lane, an English opera com
pany performing with competence, a
success, and an apparent permanency
unknown to native efforts in that branch
Of art before the war;" said writer in
The Daily Mail recently.
"The rich repertory, the excellent
singing and splendid orchestral playing,
the crowded housc-all this was as
tonishing and cheering. The war, in
cutting of the foreign opera supply,
seemed to have established English
opera on scale the old peaceful years

or financial failing of its own, came 10

tails Of which one need not go.
But the news that out of that dis
aster pharix-'the British National
OPERAS rising is of deep interest
and Importance. The singers and
players of the dishsnded company
who, united on cooperative plan, are
this 'ph9nix,' have, Of course, taken on
huse task. But they start with the
wost serious credentials. Their ad-
nirablo performances at Drury Lane
(spring, 1919 and Covent Garden

still be fresh in the memories of many
thousands
They now propose to carry on the
artistic traditions of the Beecham
company and even improve on them
We have the word Qf artists like Miss
Agnes Nichols, Robert Radford and
Thomas Busby for it. Mr.. Busby, who
is managing director of the London
synphony Orchestra and has bust
ness head, says that without departing
from the Deechan standard English
opera can be made to pay. Interna-
tional opera of the old magnihcence
nay have gone forever, but if a truly
adequate, permanent English opera
takes its place we shall feel more than
compensated.
"Phe new company starts in London
in September, so that, with the Carl
Rosa Company's promised season at
Covent Garden to follow, Londoners
are to have opera IN swing the whole
c. the autumn"
practically all the members of the
late company are enlisting in this
