MoURNED IN NEW YORK.
By the Associated Fress.

IL! the Associated Iress.
NEW YORK, November o9..Giamo
Puccini, the Italian composer who died
in Brussels today, was mourued by
New York's many musicians and mu9ic
lovers. not few of whom knew him
well.
Tullio Serafin, Metropolitan Opera
conductor who is in his first season
here, said that Puccini's passing meant
a great loss because he was the COM
poser of the present and because he
understood the theatcr best
Il knew him for many years" Sera-
fin continued. Il conducted his
Madam Butterfly in its second per-
formance and the first performance at
the La Scala opera of his Girl of the
Golden West He was not only
great maestro, but d warm personal
friend and man loved by all who
knew him. His passage is not merely
a national loss to 1talians-it Is
universal loss"
Madam Frances Aida, opera star,
and wife of Giu1io GattiCasazza,
general manager of the Metropolitan
Opera House, also mourned Ptccini
as a personal friend. Il think" che
said, "he was the greatest of living
Italian composers, and that he did
more for Italian music since the
death of Verdi than any other man.
Giulio Gatti-Casazza, general man
ager Of the Metropolitan Opera Com
pany said tonight:
THE death of Giacomo Puccini has
profoundly saddened me.
I'VE were friends more than thirty
years. and our relations were un-
interruptedly affectionate. He was
not only a great artist. but even
more--a man of heart, of democratic
feeling and one whose celebrity never
on any occasion went to his head.
Il had the honor and good fortune
to produce for the first time in the
world Madame Butterfly" fat the
Scala. in February, 1900, then re-
ceived most unjustlv with hostility;
later at the Metropolitan, THE Girl
of the Golden West" in 1910, and his
"Trittico," in 1918.
After Verdi and Wagner no con-
temporaneous operatic composer has
won a popularity SO widespread and
complete.
"Puccini was not only an opera
composer of genius. but a fine musi-
clan who has ignored none of the
progressive features of modern musi-
cal art and who knew how to employ
them in all his compositions.
mo adverse criticism can prevent
his name remaining written indelibly
in the history of the lyric drama and
the theater.''
AS tribute to the dead composer.
the audience at the Metropolitan
Opera House tonight stood while the
orchestra played Chopin's funeral
march. The opera was La Boheme,"
one of Puccini's most popular COM
positions.

BALTIMORE, Novembe 90
Words came slowly to David Belasco
when he was informed today of the
death OF Puccini. He was on the
stage of Fords Theater supervising
the production of THE Harem."
"Puccini was the most lovable of
labor because he breathed the spirit
Of music" Mr.. Belasco said. His
works were haunting and beautiful,
filled with lights and shadows, and
the greatest opera singers found
subtle fascination in performing
them. Caruso told me just before he
died that he felt himself attuned to
Puccini's operas above all others. L
feel that l am drinking nectar were
the words he used"
Questioned about Madame Butterfly

tion to the tragedy and brought him
all the way from italy to see it,

He declared Immediately that he
was going to set it to music. More
stars have made regulations for
themselves by singing in that opera
than any other opera in existence,
Mr.. Belasco said.
"Puccini journeyed also all the way
from Italy to see my Girl of the Col
den West" l sat beside him at the
first performance and before three
minutes had elapsed he turned to me
and said: Il am going to do this Be
fore the first act had finished he was
humming the music. Puccini was
music. 1t was in his soul. You
sensed it as soon as you drew him
into conversation.
HE was the most romantic of men,
the sort of man who was so absorbed
in his art that he would talk into an
ash can on the street If some one did
not take his arm and draw him out
of the way"
Mr.. Belasco revealed that he and
Puccini had arranged to do another
play. but that is all over now" he
said sadly.
