Puccini's chief works are compora- lively simple, Where Wagner pcnucd a million notes tn scoro Puccini got along with 2O0,OOO- But because he attained the pinnacle of parnas- sus with an economy of means ls no reason why he need be regarded as an inferior composer from the stand. point of agreeable results. He created a fuccini style of opera just as cer- tanly as Wagner did through the utilization of Naster resources and hy making greater demands upon singers and orchestra, Puccni favored his ideas with direct and uncquiyocal idiom; and he lived to sce his works performed throughout the civilized world. No dcrogatory valuations by the crltics-and they were many who indulged in the sport during the earlier premicres of his works-wore able to wecn the public from admiring and enjoying Ma dame Butterfly" "Manon Lescaut" and "Tosca." His "Girl of the Gold en West" has all but reached the limbo of forgotten things because 1t manifestly was greatly inferior ts the others.
 Leoncavallo, for a time regarded as rival of Puccini, got no further l than penning one outstanding success "Pagliacci," a short opera that us- ually divides the evening with Mas cagni's "Cavallcria Rusticana," an- other short opera written by "one- opera" composer.
 | IL is common to compare Puccini with Verdi. The styles Of both diff fered, although posterity doubtless will hold to Verdi as the greater rep resentative of his race and contrlbut- ing the most to permanent art. Neither, however, was too proud to write melody, and in this they had { a valuable trait in common,
 Neither Puccini, Verdi, Leonca- yallo nor Mascagnl represent the ultra modern Italian school, which ls as ultra-m oylern as any anywhere. Indeed, it is nip and tuck between the modernists of Italy, France and Russia as to which can produce the most bizarre music. Probably 1t is well that Puccini did not join this procession to the graveyard of ar tistic extinction. Puccinl deyoutIy held himself aoof from the 1uturis- tic fallacies which were engulfing the younger composers of his coun- try. He probably remembered Verdi
 who with his last opera, "Othello,
 attempted to write in the style oi
 Wagner, but the result was not like Verdi and was not Wagncrian.
 ! Puccinis success speaks of a mar
 who remained himself even after he
 had the operauc world at his feet
 Just before his death he had neaFl!
 completed 8 new opera, the closint measures Of which will have 10 b. written by another man. When is produced 1t may or may not b as appealing as "Tosca" or Madame Butterfly" but one can rest assurc' 1t will sound like Puccini.
