Great Singers Of
The Past Recalled
Here is letter from a gentleman
who can recall the days on which our
memory has been dwelling of late, as
we'll as some earlier ones:
Ny Dear Mr.. Krchbiel:
In your extremely interesting article
on Christine Nilsson in last Sundays
1IlpuHo you speak Ol a performance OF
s'The Huguenots" at the Metropolitan
Opera House in 1883 in which she sang
the part of Valentine, with Sembrich,
Scalchi, Campanini, Kashman and Del
Puente in the cast. we'll remember
that performance. but can recall
what think still more remarkable
one at the Academy of Music in 1873
1874, with the following cast:
Queen Margaret. Toriannl
valentine ......-.... NilsF0n
OrDan ........s.. Car2
Raoul ............ .CafnpaDinl
san BITS .............. Maurei
Marcella .................... .Nanetu
The voices of these singers were
then in the fullness of their beauty,
and although Torianni was not the
equal of Sembrich she sang her part
remarkably we'll. The rest of the cast
l have never heard equaled, even with
the De Reszkes and Lasalle. l wonder
if you have any record of that perform
ance? But you boys cannot be ex-
pected to go so far back as that.
Sincerely yours,
HORATIO j. BREWER.

Decentralization of
Russia Doesn't Hit
Opera and Theater

PETROGRAD, Nov. 2 (By Mail from
Staff Correspondent Of The Asso-
ciated Press). --- Petrograd's govern
ment theaters and opera have been
spared the general liberalization which
has swept Russia, through the good
Judgment and organizing power of Ivan
Vassllievich Ekskuzovich. Since 1917
ne has been director of the Academic
Iheater and head of the theatrical or.
ganization uf Petrograd. He is q pro-
fessional actor. but also an architect
and mechanical engineer and has no
interest in party politics.
When the theatrical organization
elected Ekskuzovich to be its head,
Lunacharshy, the Minister of Educa-
tion, recognized him as an ideal man
TO conserve and continue the theaters
and opera. Actors, dancers and singers
pledged themselves to keep out of poll
tics and under Ekskzovich the old re-
organizations have been held intact.
The Acedamic Theater, on the Neysk;
Prospekt, together with the dramatic
school, the ballet school and the theatri.
cal museum and library which adjoin
it, stands forth as an untouched island
of old Russia. Glasses run on as usual
in spite of limited food supplies and
the lack of fuel.
Davidotf, the veteran comedian who
has been the idol Of Russian audiences
for over half acentury, lectures every
day TO the student actors on the tradi-
tions of the Russian stage. Barbara
lvanova Likhosherstova, the directress
of the ballet school, has held the posi-
tion since 1884.
The American Relief Association is
establishing kitchen in the dramatic
school and will provide dinners for the
young people who are in training to be
future directors, composers, singers.
actors, dancers and dramatists. Greg
ory G. lssaienko, who has been in
charge for thirty-three years, is direct
or of the boys school.
Many efforts were made by political
leaders to commander the 10000 cos
TUNES owned by the dramatic academy
organization, but Ekskuzovich has been
able to keep the supplies intact, with
the assistance of Lunacharsky, and the
dramatic profession has won such con-
fidence by its abstention from politics
that both government and public will
doubtless continue to protect the or
ganization, which has continued It's
work with great loyalty to art undor
most trying conditions.
