Tristan TriuInpIls
As operate
Gem

A definite climax In the develop
ment Of the Washington Opera
Company was reached last night
in = mastery production Of the
most difficult and complex work
in the entire field of operatic
music Wagner's Tristan und
Isolde"
The formidable character Of
this music drama of Inflated pas
sion may be realized when it is re-
called that the first attempt to
produce it was abandoned after So
rehearsals. 1t then was declared
to be too difficult ever to be
sung"
Last nights production, except
for one or two isolated Instances,
was worthy Of the stage Of any
opera house in the world
It resulted in a triumph for Elsa
I Alsen, famous German soprano,
and fresh laurels for Ernest
Knoch, the noted Wagnerian con-
ductor, sent here to represent the
German people In the international
opera festival.
Alsen was superb In q role for
which she Is fitted, temperament
ally, vocal1y and physically. Her
voice, the possibilities OF which
were barely suggested last week
in Die Walkure, was. heard to its
best advantage.
The work of the orchestra was
by far the best I'M the history OF
the local opera company; standing
as one OF the finest achievements
of the two weeks festival. Under
the baton of Kn0ch, the music
flowed as a wllite-hot tide, surg
ing and ebbing, never ceasins,
never resting as 1t accompanied
the growth and extinction OF the
tragic loves OF Tristan ana Isolde.
Nine. Charles Cahier, as Brang-
ane, Isolde's attendant and con-
fidant, was second only to Alsen
in the singing and dramatic pres
entation of her role. Her singing
of the Hoff-stage" solo during the
long love scene was musically
one Of the focal-points of the eve
ming.
Heinrich Knote, Germany's
foremost Tristan, scarcely meas
ured up to the standard set by
Alsen. Though he understands
his role and sings with genuine
sympathy and feeling, his stage
presence was not particularly
happy at times.
Allen Hinclley sang King
Mark with dignity and restraint.
The role, though minor, has posi-
bilities which he realized in full.
Ivan 1vantzoff, as Kurvenal, was
handicapped by a lack Of knowl-
Clay copied the parts Of the
overture.
The success of "The Pirates Of
Penzance" was sensational. The
newspapers had for weeks been
filled with stories of the piracy
fights, and all New York tried
to get into the theater for the
first night. Immediately follow.
ing the premiere, offers from all
over America came for the work,
but Gilbert, sullivan and Carte
had determined to send out their
own companies, which subse-
quently. they did, though it was
not many months before pirated
versions of the opera appeared.

TOUGH GAME NEXT SUNDAY

Altho the going was little tougher
than in any of the recent contests,
the White Bluffs ball club it's winning
streak by capturing the game at Fin
ley last Sunday by score OF IA to g.
But the game was much closer than
the final score would indicate. Up until
the last inning the contest was sec
aw affair with neither club being abla
to get very far out in front. At the be
ginning OF the r;nth the score stood
to in White Bluffs favor. The
heavy artillery on the local club &C
the range in their last turn at bat
ard scored seven times before they
were retired. Swede Cords, White
Bluffs nifty first baseman, was UP
twice in that inn.ng and cracked out 4
two bagger each tine.
The Finley club was strengthened
by the addition Of pitcher and first
bsseman from Pasco and with a few
other shifts presented much strong
CT lineup than it had in it's last ap-
pearance in White Bluffs.
The local club will be up against
real proposition when it meets the
Kennewick club on the local grounds
next Sunday. Neither club has lost a
league game but each has been beaten
by the other in preseason contests.
Ward Johnson, the old Kennewick
hard hitting first baseman, is back in
the lineup again and in addition to him
it is safe bet that the rest of the club
that comes up here Sunday from Ker-
newick will be, the best that the town
of KenneWick affords and that it will
be out there doing its d;ngest to slip
skids under the White Bluffs team.
The locals will be just as anxious
to stop the strawberry pickers and
will present their very best lineup.
If the day is at all nice an unusually
large crowd OF rcoters is anticipated
for the game promises to furnish
thrills and excitement galore.
Negotiations are under way for two
games with the Pasco club, the first
at Pasco on May 13 and on the local
grounds the Sunday following. Ed
White Bluffs spokesman. [volume] (White Bluffs, Wash.) 1907-1938, 1928-05-04
DAILY TRAIN and new
SCHEDULE NEXT MONDAY


Beginning next Monday. May
Z, daily except Sunday service will
be reestabished on this branch of
the Milwaukee. On that day. also.
a new schedule will be put into ef-
feet. On the outgoing trip the
train will leave Hanford at 9.30
p. M, White Bluffs at 9:55 p. M,
and will arrive in Beverly at 1915
a. m. On the return trip, it will
leave Beverly at 2:35 a. m arrive
in White Bluffs at 4:35 a. m. and
Hanford at 5 a. m.
This arrangement will continue
the night service for connections
with the night trains east and
west on the main line, at Beverly,
and will permit the train crew to
continue their residences in Han
ford, thus eliminating one of the
chief objections ruised when the
change was made from day to a
night service. The new schedule
seems to satisfy everybody.
