that 1t might have been more pleasing
to have heard johnson in the French
light music of ''Manon," with Gigli, the
Italian, who is acclaimed as successor
to Caruso as Canio--it was only q
passing thought, for the marvellous act
ing of johnson more than compensated
for the lightness of his voice.
Mario Basiolo was the Tonic and an
excellent one. He did the famous pro-
-logue, that pet of all baritones, with
superb tonal color and phrasing. The
acting of the role was obviously In ia
miliar hands and his ease In shading
every line and gesture showed a mas
ter's Interpretation.
Editha Fleischer, who has not been
heard in washington before with the
Metropolitan forces, although she sang
here several seasons ago with the Wag-
merriam Opera Co. and has appeared
in Mozart productions with William
Wade HinShaw'S company, was much
liked by the audience in the role OF
Media. To those who have heard the
incompatible Bori in this role, the in
depreciation last night was not astound-

TWO OPERAS GAIN
. TWO STARS GLORY
Rosa PonselIe and Edward
Johnson Triumph in Pres
entations at Polls.

q Two American artists, Rosa Ponselle,
who was born in little town in Con-
necticut, and Edward Johnson, Cana
dian by birth, walked away in a dual
blaze Of glory with the stellar honors,
respectively, of the two operas present.
ed in the second nights performance of
the Metropolitan Grand Opera Co. Of
New York at Polls Theater last night
Again Mrs. Hoover and her party led
the enthusiasm of very appreciative
audience from the presidential box
Again the house was filled to the last
inch of standing room. The casts of
both operas offered stirring presenta-
| tons of the roles in the famous oper-
latte twins"-"Cavalleria Rusticana" of
Mascagni and II Pagliacci' by Leon
cavallo. Vincenzo BelleZza conducted
both operas and did so in a highly ar
tistic manner, guiding his orchestra so
that the singers were never threatened
with submersion beneath the instru-
mental tonal waves.
The eloquent sweeping phrases OF the
famous intermeZzo in the Mascagni work
were given full due. Signor Bellezza
showed not only complete sympathy 70
every nuance in the colorful scores, but
also showed finesse in never letting
the Interpretation drop to merely senti-
mental levels.
,Ponselle in Fine Voice.
The first of the two operas, "Caval-
leria RuSticana," was excellently cast
throughout. Rosa PonSelle was in fine
voice and though there were moments
when she tended to over-act at the be-
ginning, she soon overcame them and
gained in dramatic effectiveness. Her
voice is truly unique. There is no voice
of exactly that mellow timbre in the
low notes with the beautifully rounded
velvet of the topmoSt notes so admirably
balanced and blended. This young
American is rising steadily In her
growth as an artist. She reached one
of the two peaks of dramatic-vocal
effectiveness Of the evening in her sing
ing of the "vio 10 Sapete, o Mamma"
Her duets both with Turiddu and Al
40 were beautifully done. She was
given a huge bouquet of red roses. which
she gracefully handed across the foot
lights, even as Bori had handed lilies
the night before, to Mrs. Hoover, who
received them in her charming manner
and smiled her thanks while the audi
ence applauded. Q
Armand Tokatyan Is particularly
noted for his Interpretation of the tenor
role of Turiddu in this opera. He more
than lived up to his reputation last
night. He sang the role in a seemingly
inspired fashion. Even the vocal pre-
lude that occurs within the orchestral
prelude to this opera-"O Lola, blanca
come flor di spino"-which the tenor
sings behind the curtain at the begin
ming of the work, showed effectively the
fresh color and dramatic quality Of his
voice. His acting. too quite lived up to
his vocal excellence. The moment por-
