The Tue3y Musical club hit
msny scn, and.tiuny of
thre seasons have been cprned
brilliantly, hut the climax of all s
achieved Thursday evening, when
this prominent club presented the
Scotti Opera company in two ahort
operaa at the Municipal auditorium.
Congratulations msy well be

lery. It wan alto a discriminating
one, which gave the most flattering
attention, and often interrupted the
action with deserved applause.
Everyone expected a great deal,
for the Tuesday Mimical club has
made a reputation for brimiing only
the bet. And was not the opera
company, the Scotti Opera com
pany, recruited from the ranks of
the Metropolitan and beaded by the
great artist hiunetf? This was un
doubtedly the largest event the club
had ever attempted, and everyone
knew that there was a treat in store. :

V"ry ' expressing the great feast of
V musical delight which was packed
into the few short hours of one
evening s performance. It is sate to
&ay that never before has opera been
presented in Omaha with such a
consistently high plane of artistic
fuiih throughout as that attained by
the Scotti Opera company at the
Auditorium.
The first of the two operaa presen
ted in the double bill of the evening
v.as new to Omaha audiences. This
was "L'Oracolo" (The Oracle) a
music drama in one act, libretto by
Camillo Zanoni and music by Fianco
Lconi. I he story is a gruesome
tale of the Chinese quarter in Sao
Francisco, seen through .. Italian
eyes and vivified and enhanced by
(he beautiful music of Lecni.
The music is not so extreme as
one might expect, yet it has many
modern effects in its harmonies, in
the orchestration, and in the use of
an occasional unusual instrument
added to the oriental suggestiveness
which permeates the , entire , score.
Scotti Filled Anticipations. V'
Of course, the principal interest
'i 'of the opera centered around Scotti.
I As Chijm Fang, the opium den keep
V f r. - he presented an unusually dramat
ic picture of this horrible character.
Hit singing of the role more, than
fulfilled anticipations, His acting
was superb whether it were in anger
at the mob, in pantomime as he en
ticed the child he would kndnap with
thetorange, or in the closing scene
where he meets a well deserved
death. :
Giovani Martini, who sang the role
Win Shee. in which we had hoped
o hear Kothter, while lacking a lit
tie in the commanding figure of the
latter singing-actor., nevertheless dis
olaved splendid bass voice of ex
eellent training and he Interpreted
the role with a calm poise which was
eminently fitting. ,
1 :.. Favorite in Cast.
Queena Mario, who has been heard
in Omaha before, made a charming
Ah .Yoe, using her light but beauti
ful soprano -with the utmost taste.
Louise UAngelo as Moo ism, and
Joseph Hislop as Win-San-Loy, both
of whom rc vocally blessed, and
the other members of the cast were
found worthy of their associates.
The chorus was larger and sang
better than we had 'dared to hope.
The orchestra is also large and plays
with a quality which gives accent to
the many beauty spots of the music.
Among these are remembered -the
solo- of .Win Shee so effectively re
peated a$ the close' under most dra
matic conditions,- the prayer, of the
people, and the love duets of' Ah Yoe
r.nd aan JMiy. . ine .action is swm
and the pictures presented are strong
ly and powerfiHly executed.
' Anna Roselle Stars,
"II Pagliacci' the second opera,
has been heard in Omaha jnany
times, but never in such an even per
formance as the one furnished by
this company. Not only one or two,
but all of the principals - were ex
cellent. Anna Koselle has an exquis
ite and sympathetic voice and her
inuring of v the. lavishly ' beautiful
music which .falls to the role of
isdda was- t constant joy. Greek
vans displayed. a baritone voice of
luscious-quality, a knowledge ot its
use and a histrionic ability that will
take him tar. His Mnging is- un
usually smooth and satisfying and
the prologue was- splendidly sung.
. Kingston Here Before,
Never . have we heard so fine a
Silvio as that portrayed by Mario
LaurentL Hia voice is warm and
sweet and in the duets with Nedda,
fine artistic; results were achieved.
But the surprise of the evening was
Morgan Kingston. He appeared in
Omaha a few years ago in "II Trov
atore," when a stiffer actor with a
lovelier voice could hardly have been
imagined. But his Canio of. last eve-
Terl-.aps he thought he looked like an angel and her Imme was in
heaven when the judge, from his bench in California on January 20, 1914,
said to Rratha Watson of El Centro, "You arc tJo beautiful to live in a
large city." Thus was the 16-ycar-old c;irl banjshed to her home. That was
seven years ago. "Too beautiful," the judKC .said, and thereafter so she
was known. If the girl felt disappointed because of her beauty on that
memorable day when the judge uttered those word's, she has been com
pensated for today her face is her fortune. For the little girl from the
small town now has blossomed forth as the dazzling Barbara La Mar of
film land, and she is still very beautiful. -

ning had all the wealth of fine tenor
quality which had charmed before,
an assurance and skill in the sing
ing and a dramatic freedom with
it all. . . .
The "Lament" was but one of
the many similar delights that far
surpassed expectations.
Here again the chorus scored and
the orchestra quietly made much
from the vividly colorful music.

for balance and artistic effect which

The'foreign and war offices con
ferred about the final arrangements,
