Crude Performance Of

By II. +. krehbiel

Though it must be said in kindly
spirit, yet it must be said in the inter
est Of truth, that the first performance
of the Russian Grand Opera Company
at the New Amster rdam Theater last
night was disappointment in every
respect to lovers of the art. No hing
that had become known Of the company
had led to great expectations so far as
the doings of individual artists were
concerned. What opera lovers had been
led TO look forward to with interest
was the opportunity TO become nc
quainted with unfamiliar works which
students of the lyric drama have been
taught to believe are conspicuous l2nd-
marks in musical nationalism.
The operas of Borodin. TschajkoF-
SKY. Moussorgsky and Rimsky-Korsak-
of, which have been heard at the Met
ropo}ltan Opera House. had aroused
keen curiosity III Russian music, and
it was but natural that they created a
desire for a larger acquaintance with
the products Of other composers, and
also better acquaintance which it was
reasonable TO suppose would be Of
tered by performers who were to the
Russian manner born. 1t seemed likely
that something more might be learned
OF the spirit of the works, not neces-
sar!y If they were sung in the Ian
guaGe IN which they were created, but
ce rtalnly If they presented more faith
fully the customs and the style of a
school of art which has been so pro-
foundly influential in other fields. We
have long known the symphonic djom
OF the Russians: We wanted to know
more Of the operate

with conditions in southern West Vir-
G.nia, stated that all classes are thor
oughly disgusted with the present Re-
publican rule and that prospects for a
great Democratic victory and the cleo
ton OF Democratic congressman In the

THE only thing that keeps the Re
publican party together in southern
West Virginia is the office holders, and
If you don't think there are plenty OF

The increase in taxes and the sala ries

Mr.. Hays who declared that practically

state administration has secured a
raise in salary from $500 to $1,000

they will affect the coming election"
Mr.. Hays also, in discussing Demo

and declared that the nomination of
the right men for the elective offices
