HE San Carlo Opera com
' pany has again visited
us and left many pleasant
memories in its trail.
There is always much to
admire in its productions
and in looking in retro
spect certain important features stand
forth prominently the work of Pe-
roni, the director, for instance, whoj
quietly, yet unobtrusively, guided
each performance. There was no
prompter's bo:;, and few people stop-
ped to realize how much the entire
interpretation of the opera hung upon
bis baton. He is an excellent musician
and really achieves remarkable r-
. . ults with the material in hand,
) Elizabeth Amsden, the leading so
ijrano, who made her first appearance
pere witththe company this year, is a
idistinct acquisition. Her voice is
jbright, powerful and excellently
Schooled and at her two appearances
Ifn widely differing roles she was a de-
fiaea success, ,
t the work ct Marcella Lraft on
Tuesday night will not soon be for
gotten. Her lovely voice, her artistic
singing and clever acting in Tra
viata" will make the memory of this
x production stand forth as one of the
most Impressive of the season. Future
appearances of this distinctly Amer
ican singer.will be anticipated with
ueltght. ; --
' We liked Joseph Royer in "Gio,
conda," but not so well in "The Jew'
els of the Madonna." Ilia high tones
are clear and ringing, but his low
voice docs not carry, and it seemed as
( though his part in the latter opera lay
very good. From year to year we re
member Salazar, Agostini, Antola and
other members of the cast who have
made good and who return to in
' erpret different roles for our pleas
ure. .
I J V In the review of "II Trovatore" the
t ! printer made us say that this produc
er tion rnmnarcH favnrahlw urifh anw

TO SING FOR THE TUESDAY
MORNING MUSICAL
What we had said was that this oro
Auction compared favorably wtih any
, otner production ot this opera yet
seen. Of course the production by the
' Ellis Opera company last year had
, the orchestra, and 'a larger chorus,
and Komer, and 'there is only one
Homer. But in cpite of Kingston's
wonderful voice, we liked" Salazar
much better in the part of Manrico
and felt that dramatically the San
Carlo gave a more even performance.
We have come to expect that all Le
"ttoras must be stiff, but Luisa Darclee
was less so than Marie Rappold., But
'we would hot like to say that this
Operformanee compared favorably with
any other production yet seen, for
there remains to us distinct recollec
tions of the "Carmen" of last year
and the performances of the Boston
opera at the Boyd, which weft re
markable, and also the "Traviata" of
' the night before. : .

on the Russian front until lie was
wounded and honorably discharged.
He said he had sent money back to
Austria before the United 'States de

to his old and paralyzed father, and to
the support of several orphan chil

during the war, and-- principally to an
association organized by him and
composed of all stranded and starv

other than Christmas Shoppers, for
the happy expression on each face is
evidence enough of the wholesome
charm and refreshing cheer of the
Christmas Spirit. And surely with
the world bleeding from war wounds,
there is a crying need for an over

spoke of the difficulty of finding suit

Mr. Siu-ette also advised that all be

on rote singing, and from their sing
in ar and the interest awakened in
music through it they should later
branch out and specialize in their
chosen instrument. Many questions
were asked of Mr. Suretfe by those
