'TANNHAEUsERD REVIVED.
Second German Work Sung by the
Chicago Company.

Wagner's "Tannhaeuser" was given
by the Chicago Opera Company at the
Manhattan last evening. 1t was the
second work OF the German master to
be produced by Miss Garden. The per-
formance was a novelty as the opera
had been silent since before the war.
Mr.. Schubert had the role OF Tam
hdeuser.. 1t cannot be said that his
portrayal OF the erring knight was dis
tinguidled by tonal warmth or tragic
emotion. hut it was commendable for
sincerity and a clear enunciatio of the
text. Nine. Rosa Raisas Elisabeth was
imposing in voice and figure. but with
out much spiritual characterization. Miss
Cyrena Van Gordon az Venus was hardly
adequate. Mr.. Schwarz as Wolfram did
some artistic singing. The presentation
had admirable sincerity but no great
eloduence.
The Venus scene in the Hoerselberg
was very effectively put on, although Il
was marred near the end by the failure
OF drop" to fall into place. Mr.. Ferrari
conducted.

play Fred Henning, and the winner
of that match will go into the finals.
