By ALICE EyERSMAN.

Another packed house assembled
last night to witness the San Carlos
performance of Carmen" at the
National Theater with the incom-
parable Coe Glade in the title role.
This fine artist has some hundreds
of appearances as Bizet's heroine to
her credit yet there is nothing
|stereotyped in her portrayal. Each
time she returns there is some new
bit of stage business added, differ
ence in makeup or costuming or
fresh nuances In her singing. She
Is evidently constant student of
the character, discovering new ways
of high lighting it and preserving in
clear outline its essential drama.
Last night, there was more re-
straint In her acting, which gained
in significance by reason of it. At
the same time, she infused the char
acter with more allure and more
deep-rooted passion so that the
fascination of the gypsy girl was
genuine and appreciable. Miss
Glade also exercised more control
vocally which may or may not have
been intentional since the quality of
her voice showed less freshness than
formerly. However, the effect was
the greater through the use of a
wider range of power and often her
pianissimo singing created a pro-
nounced impression. Her portrayal
remains vivid, picturesque and full
of vitality, both her singing and
acting directed by a keen artistic
sense.
The role of Jose does not allow
great latitude in character study
but Sidney Rayner did all that
was possible histrionically. He was
in excellent voice and sang the
Flower Song" with sentiment and
ease. Stephan Ballarini was dig
nified Escamillo which gave new
slant to the role while Mary Hen
derson was convincing Micaela
with a sweet-toned, well-trained
voice.
AAdl OAA dVAtt dS Aulil6d gave
another of his finely sketched char
and the smugglers and
friends of Carmen, Remendado,
Dancarro, Frasquita and Mercedes,
found excellent interpreters in Fran
cesco Curci, Fausto Bozza, Frieda
Bleicher and Lydia Edwards. The
singing of the quintet in the third
act was greeted with enthusiastic
applause. Francis Scott made much
of the shorter role of Morales.

formance with its fine dancing.

baby was his and sometimes that
she did not know whose baby il
was.
Corporal Nell denied that he had
