G|OCONDA SUNG.
BY SAN CARLO
COMPANY
Marie Rappold and Mario
Basiola Vie for First
Honors.
By WILLIAM M00RE.

Fortune Gallo, impresario extra
ordinary, who has done probably
more than any one person to
popularize grand opera in this coun-
try, brought his company of San
Carlo artists to the Capital last
night for their annual operatic
visitation.
Ponchielli's dramatic and melodi-
Gus work, la Gioconda," was
given at the opening performance
last night at Polls Theater. And
a right creditable offering it was,
too.
Marie Rappold, whose portrayal
of Aida" last year in this city
went down in operate history in
the National Capital, sang the
title role. Clarity, excellent vocal
attachments and rare dramatic
fervor characterized Miss RappoId's
endeavors.
BasiOla's Good Performance.
If there can be any second HON
ors, they surely must go to Mario
Basiola, the Barnaba of the opera.
Here IL Q real actor, as well as q
singer Of ability. Indeed, so well
did he portray the role OF the
VillainOus Barnaba, spy Of the
InQuisition, that one felt almost as
&c few Kisses from the audience
would be quite in order. The only
fault one could find In his voice was
the tendency to .put on the tremolo
stop" too frequently But his voice
is rich ana full and Of wide com.
pass.
Gaetano Tommasini, is EMO, was
in good voice. His high notes are
particularly full, clear and of
dramatic timbre. His duet with
Barnaba In the first act was one of
the best things OF its kind we have
heard in month OF Sundays.
Stella De Mette, another 'tnld
friend OF San Carlo ssfanB'' In this
city, ably took the role Of Laura,
her rich. full contralto the subject
OF much favorable comment amongst
the auditors. Anita KlinOva made
an admirable "Cieca,' the blind
mother who is the target OF the
fury Of the Inquisitors.
Pietro de Blast as "Alvice'' was
not given much opportunity to us.
play that wonderfully rich bass OF
voice, but what he sang he sang
well.
Chorus Strengthened.
The chorus this year. while we
recognized many familiar faces, has
been materially strengthened. The
ensemble work was really remark
able, the attacks and shading being
as near perfect as one could desire
Then there was the appearance 81
the famous PavIey. Oukrainsky Bal
let, q troupe OF talented young
dancers whose interpretation OF
''The Masquersv and THE Dance 81
the Hours" was vigorously ap
planded. The orchestra did excel

Carlo Peroni.
The settings were good. especially
the waterfront scene in the second
act. And the chorus, GRABBED az

theiT own financial differences. They
can look at Europe from almost exactly
the same angle since their interests
their feelings and their habits of mind
are almost the same. Our conception
of the balance of power must be replaced
by a conception of league of free and
equal states.
Perhaps neither in the United States
nor Great Britain is public opinion yet
sufficiently alive to the dangers which
France has let loose; to the impotence
of intervening except through league
nor to the immense additional authority
which the league would derive through
Americas participation. 1t is to be
hoped that public opinion will advance
more rapidly when the distracting side
issue of the debt is out of the way and
the United States and Great Britain
can recognize the identity of their
aims"
1t is considered here that coming
weeks may find Great Britain and the
United States taking far reaching ac-
ton along the lines suggested by this
liberal editorial.

'As the United States has been draw

two countries have not met. One rea-

United States has felt estranged as we
