That's and 'Ernani'
Christmas Operas
at Metropolitan
Both Holiday Performances
Attended by Capacity
Audiences.
BY w. j. HENDERSON.

Two performances were given at
the Metropolitan Opera House yester-
day. Both were attended by audiences
as large as the theater would hold.
This proved that Christmas music Is
not all necessarily religious and that
thousands are ready to enjoy that
which is most particularly secular. In
the afternoon "Thais" was given for
the second time. The cast was the
same as that heard at the previous
performances of the work. Nine.
Jeritza repeated her picturesque and
well planned impersonation of the be-
witching but repentant siren of Aler-
dndrid. The part is one well suited to
her personality and her histrionic
methods. She interested her audience
yesterday and was enthusiastically ap-
plauded and called before the curtain
many times.
Mr.. Whitehill was the representa-
tive of the monk who came to grief
That's. Mr.. Harold impersonated
Nicias, the Greek hon vivant. who
failed to hold the siren against the
power of the monk. The brilliant
pictorial investiture Of the opera again
delighted the eye. and the capable
treatment of the whole work made an
agreeable effect.
In the evening "Ernani" was sung
with the same cast as before. Titta
Ruffo again commanded the approval
of the auditors by his singing of the
role of Don Carlos. Mr.. Ruffo's treat
ment of the music of this part has
shown unusual discretion. He has not
tone. but has sung his music with un-
wonted suavity and respect for style.
The results have been very pleasing.
Miss Ponselle's beautiful voice again
disclosed it's best qualities in the music
of EIDirG, though the fiorid passages
were not always we'll delivered. But
her methods adapt themselves well to
the more dramatic passages. Mr.. Mar
tinelli sang the measures of Erndni
with a great plenitude of tone and
triumphant emission of all the high
notes. Mr.. Mardones as Don Ruy Go
meg de SilUd was admirable and had
the familiar success with the tuneful
"Infelice" Miss Rosina Calls dane
ing. aided by that of Giuseppe Bon
figlio, added much to that part of the
entertainment addressed to the eye.
