4 "Jazz" Bird Is
Peggy, the Canary

DOGGY. q canary belonging to
Mrs. q. r. Farley. Of Seattle.
Wash. has mastered Jazz. The
high.bred bird OF the German roller
variety for years has discoursed
the best quality Of bird music. but
the advent Of some jazz-whistled
records into the home turned the
classically educated brain into a
syncopated one.
Now every day Peggy nearly
drives her dainty mistress frantic
by such tunes and antics. In ad-
dition to initiating the syncopation
of the latest productions, Peggy
has a habit Of joyfully dancing in
rhythm. hopping up and down in
her swinging perch, or leapins to
the floor Of the cage and back to
the swing.

BIG PRIZE MONEY

triennially.
A glance backward at some re-
cent prize awards does not seem
to show that the value OF prize
compositions is to he measured
by the amount of money they have
received. Probably the most val.
liable prizes ever given and won
in this country were the two Of

In 1911 the Metropolitan Opera
Company. fired with the laudabie

Thirty-SeVen Operas

in the repertoire performed
by the Metropolitan the past
season. OF these. twenty-four
were sung in Italian, eight in
French, four in German, one in
English, and one was sung in
English once and in German five
times. The nationality of the
operas was not. however, inva-
riably that Of the language in
which they were sung. Thus
"Cosi Fan Tutte," German
opera, was sung in Italian; Boris
Godunoff." a Russian opera, was
sung also in Italian, and "Snye-
gurochka." another Russian
opera, in French. "Parsifar"
was sung in English and "Lohen.
grim received one performance
in that language.
The most popular composer in
point OF performance was Verdi.
who received twenty-seven per.
formances OF seven operas. Puc-
cini, with twenty-five perform
ances of four operas, came Sec
ond; Wagner third, with nine-
teen performances OF four operas.
and Leoncavallo fourth, with
twelve performances of two
operas. Leoncavallo should really,
perhaps, rank first, for each Of
his operas was performed six
times, whereas Verdi averaged
only s.s58 performances per
opera.
The most popular opera was
"Tosca," which was performed
nine times. Aida" and Car.
men" tied for second place with
eight performances each. with
Butterfly" La Boheme" and
"Snyegurochka" dividing third
place with seven performances a
piece. "Pagliacci, "Zaza."
"Cavalleria." The Barber"
"Mefistofele," "Lohengrin."
"walkuere" and Die Tote
Stadt" were all done six times.
Four operas-"Boris," "Loreley,"
Faust" and lie Roi D'Ys"-
were done five times; ten had
four performances each, Puccini's
"Manon Lescaut" had two, and
Samson ct Dalila" and The
Secret OF Suzanne" had one
each. The fact that die Tote
Stadt" and the unspeakable
"Zaza" had six performances
each, while Tristan" and "L'-
Amore Del Ire Re" struggled
along with four, seems evidence
that the number OF performances
a work received bore no partic-
ular relation to its artistic worth.
The most sensational addition
to the company was Maria
Jeritza, the Viennese soprano.
She made her first appearance
in Die Tote Stadt" and swept
New York off its feet with her
beauty, her voice. her acting
ability and her extraordinary
stage charm. She is not a great
vocalist-misuse Of her middle
voice and a tendency to scoop
her upper tones preclude that
classification-but she Is a great
opera singer and the most vivid
feminine personality at the
Metropolitan in years, Her best
roles this season were Marietta
in die Tote Stadt," Floria
Tosca in "Tosca" and Elsa in
"Lohengrin." She was less sue
cesstul as sieglinde in Die
walkuere" and Santuz1a in
"Cavalleria Rusticana." The
house was sold out at every per.
formance at which she appeared.
She ie undoubtedly Caruso's sue
cessor as a popular favorite.
