portraying the versatile Philip III. and
Mr.. Martinelli filling the title role, was
given for the second time this season

tized Philip OF many aspects and gave

faithful Rodrigo showed themselves the
familiar exponents OF their roles and
both sang WELL
Nine. Peraita as Elisabeth of Vaiois
and Miss Jeanne Gordon as the unhappy
: Princess Eboii acquitted themselves
creditably. For the sake of brevity the
first scene OF the opera was again
omitted. somewhat impairing the con-
tinuity of the plot, but apparently not
interfering In the least with the audi
ence's enjoyment of the performance.
The scene between the King and the
Grand Inqusitor, revived for Mr..
Chaliapin and Leon Rothier. the latter
adding much TO it's value. and the Kings
