dramatic demands of the situation. He
has vocal color from the top TO the
bottom of the register Of the role, but
that color is always regulated by the
drama of the moment. He does not sing
to show his voice--he sings to present
the opera--the highest form Of opcratic
art. .s
As an actor he is, II possible, even
more superb. Nothing is overdone---an
easy thing to do in the title role Of a
work like "Boris." After the tremen-
dous scene IN the second act, Chaliapin
appeared before the curtain, apparently
emotionally exhausted, as we'll he might
be, following the rendition which he
gave, and after seven or eight recalls
refused TO appear again. There was no
unwillingness to acknowledge the ap-
probation of the audience, but he was
evidently worn out by what was really
the dramatic climax of the opera. The
role makes demands which are the limit
of human endurance. ..
The other principal parts were splen
dldly performed. Mardones showed tho
wonderful voice and the magnificent
dramatic elements which he possesses IN
| the role Of Brother Pimenn, and Nine.
Matsenauer was more than capable, as
she always is In the comparatively small
| part Of Marina. Diaz was vocally and
dramatically fair as Dimitri, although
more tone in the role would have been
acceptable against the generally heavy
orchestration which accompanies the
part. Ananian had an excellent role,
which he filed to perfection, especially
In the tavern scene, showing his ver-
! satility in being able TO perform both
comedy and seriousness with equal
ability.
The orera, if II may be called such,
| is episode rather than connected, pre-
senting phases Of Russian life, botl
noble and peasant in thoroughly ma
tionalistlc spirit. It shows the elemen-
tary essence Of Russia in very much the
same way that Louise" shows the
spirit Of Partisan life. that "Boheme"

leas" exhibits medieval France. Tho
music is Russian throughout. IL has
the genius Of Moussorgsly refined
through the orchestration and general
revision Of Rimsky- Korsakoff. En-
tirely apart from the wonderful rendi-
tion OF Chaliapin, Il was an innovation
for which the opera flowing public OF
Philadelphia heartily appreciated.
Another element Of this remarkable
work was the enormous part assigned
to the chorus, which was almost on a
par with that Of the principals. The
nationaiistic spirit lies largely in the
choral numbers which were many aud
beautifully performed. Many OF the
traditional melodies are choral and
have found expression in other than
operatic form. The chorus IN the at :
tacks and the releases, as well ss II,
balance and quality, showed q master
hand in it's training. e

In the life Of Miss KOener in less than

Miss keener was a dramatic art stu =
dent when she wrote that first letter
TO Wesley, asking for his photograph. 4
correspondence between the clever Young
actor and the ambitious movie uspirant
soon disclosed the girls great desire to
become a movie actress. Like many
other girls In small towns, Miss Keener
realized the great distance between
home life at Bettcndorf and movie
career in Hollywood, but she was de-
termined to "get there"
When q big Chicago newspaper on
nounced national beauty contest,
friends Of Miss Keener urged her 10

tion with hundreds of other girls In the
State Of Iowa, Miss Keener was Sc.
lected tho most beautiful girl in her
State. In a letter to Wesley, the girl
wrote the news and mentioned the fact
that with her $1,000 prize she and her
mother were coming to Hollywood to
see II she could break into motion
pictures.
A visit to the Ncilan studio brought
about personal meeting between
"Freckles" and his admirer, which was
followed by an introduction Of the girl
to the producer, who on hearing her
story made a motion picture test OF
her. The results, both from the stand :

CHALlAPlN IN WONDERFUL.
PERFORMANCE OF "BORlS"
Russian 6asso Gives a Marvellous
Rendition Of Moussoresky's Hero

Seldom has any operate star scored
the vocal and dramatic success in Phil
adelphia which Feodor Chaiiopin made
last evening at the Academy of Music
in Moussorgsky's unique Boris Godu-
noff." 1t was one of the most brilliant
performances which the Metropolitan
Opera Company has ever given in this
city. not only in the superb work Of the
principal. but also in the fact that
the rendition of the secondary parts (if
such they may be termed with Matze-
nauer and Mardoncs in the cast) were
but shade below that Of even the
great Russian bass.
Boris" is essentially one part
opera or, rather, music drama. That
Is, the title role commands most OF the
essential vocal and dramatic elements
Of the work, but frequently one OF the
subsidiary parts will make the most
extreme demands in voice and action
upon the singer cast for IL. That these
demands were fully met in last eve
ning's performance is a high tribute to
the company.
Challapin must be considered IN two
ways in this remarkable opera--vocally
and dramatically. In each he reached
one Of the high points in Philadelphia
onerRt!c history. His voice IS the es-
seuce of quality. combined with refine
mcnt and polish There IS abundant
force when the situation requires and.
on the other hand. there Is a pianissimo
which no tenor or baritone now on the
operate stage can equal. and this,
without loss Of warmth or volume. The
part of Boris lies almost entirely within
the middle register and there was lit =
tie opportunity for the great singer to
show his range: indeed. so far as this
goes. the role might be sung by almost
any baritone with few good low notes
but not in the manner in which Chal =
iapin sang It last evening. The es-
scnce Of his vocal art lies in the. mar.
vellous refinement Of tonal production
