'TAKME" GETS OVATION
WITH MELIUS AS STAR

Luella Melius stopped the show"
in theatrical parlance, last evening
when Edouard Albion presented this
noted primR donna as "Lakme," in
the Delfbes opera, with the Wash
ington Opera Company at the Wash
ington Auditorium.
The ovation came after Melius'
long double trill that grew in force
to climax intensity, at the close
Of the famous BELL Song" ana that
the singer repeated after applause
that lasted several minutes, There
were "bravas" and even cat.callsi
A novelty. with a delightfully."-
nelodious score, "Lakme" was 80
charming and at times SO thrilling
that one is surprised at its few
performances in any opera repertory.
So, with one Of the best renditions
Of the Washington Opera Company's
career, with rich stage pictures of
the opuleht Orient and big, effect.
i've chorus that completed q very
excellent solo cast, "Lakme" was a
real contribution to music in Wash.
ington.
From the first strains Of the or.
chestra, under Alberto Bimboni, the
opera held the attention for its
musical worth and it's beauty. Mr..
Bimboni established a colorful tone.
drama of the East, with a fine
zest, yet always with considerable
reserve for the need Of the voices.
There were other high moments,
too, In this opera. Notable were sew.
eral duets Of soprano and tenor,
with Ralph Errolle as the English
Army officer, Gerald. There was a
quintet Of the British visitors to
India that was exceptionally fine
and in which Doris Morrow, soprano,
achieved a real success as both
actress and singer, when she gave
solo bit as the vivacious daughter
Of the governor.
\ = =
''Lakme" holds the vivid color OF
"Aida," with something Of it's at
mosphere. Were the Washington
Opera Company to repeat it next
week. with the same cast, It should
fill the Auditorium and prove q
pleasure to those who heard it last
evening.
We find Ivantzoff quite above his
best as the Brahman Priest and
father Of Lakme. Always an artist.
Ivantzoff sang with a breadth and
dignity that lifted him to place
comparable with the leading bass
baritones who have been heard
here. In drama. too. he has the
wealth Of the Russians behind him,
with their realism and fidelity to
q role.
Melius possesses that rare attri.
butte. for a coloratura soprano, a
rich and beautiful middle voice.
Always her singing was arrestina
in tone value. And this is one OF
the most difficult roles. not alone
for its trills and cadenzas. She put
