EASTON AND DIDUR SING IN
MEFISTOFELE' AT THE OPERA
Admirable Performance of Boto's Work at Meropoli-
tan With Society Present.

Boito's 'Mefistofele'' was repeated at
the Metropolitan Opera House last eve-
ming. There were some changes in the
cast. but none in the general character
or the performance. At the first repre-
sentation the spirit who denies was I'm
personated by Jose Mardones. Last
night the burden of the title role rested
upon the experienced shoulders of
Adamo Didur. But there seemed to be
little difference whether a Spaniard OF
a Pole acted German devil in an Ital-
ian opera In spite of all temptations
to belong to other nations he remained
an Italian opera fiend. Mr.. Didur was
always good Medstofele, and last eve
ming he received abundant applause.
Nine. Florence Easton replaced Nine.
Aida as Marguerite. The soprano of the
evening Is one Of the most finished
artists In the company. and the music
or Biotos heroine lies well within the

vocal condition, and particularly in the
famous prison scene rose to level OF
dramatic eloquence.

allotted to Nine. Easton fell last evening
