GERMAN OPERA IN ENGLISH IS COTHAM NOVELTY “Parsifal” Heard at Metropoli-' tan Last Night for First Time in Our Tongue BAN ON LANGUAGE STAYS Management Predicts It Will Be Years Before “Deutch” Is Heard Again New York, Nov. 19.—German opera sung in English was one of_ the features of the Metropolitan Opera Company’s season which opened here last; night. Wagner’s “Parsifal” was sung but not in German. It has been announced that “it is not probable that the German language will be heard on the Metropolitan stage for many years.” ' Another opera by an American composer will be produced. So far no American work has remained per- manently in the Metropolitan reper- toire but Mr. Gatti-Casazza has ex- pressed his determination to pursue the policy of presenting American operas which he adopted on his tak- ing management of the company; twelve years ago. New American Opera. “Cleopatra’s Night” is the title of the American opera scheduled for this season. The book, in two scenes, is based upon a story by Theophile Gau- tier while the music is by the Ameri- can composer and conductor, Henry K. Hadley. A young American scene painter, Norman-Bel Geddes, has pro- vided the stage setting. The Egyptain Queen will be impersonated by Mme. Frances Alda.

Whether another *Rosa Ponselle has been found among the Americans re- mains to be seen when reach is put to the test of singing before a Metro- politan audience. An interesting new- comer from Italy will be Mme. Gabri- ella Bezanzoni, a young dramatic con- tralto, who has won a high reputa- tion in her native land and in Spanish America. : During Christmas week there will be produced here for the first time on any stage an operatic version of Maeterlinck’s “The Blue Bird.” The music was composed by Albert Wolff, of the younger school of French com- posers: Mr. Wolff, who has been en- gaged French conductor of the opera company, to succeed Pierre Monteux, now with Boston Symphony orchestra, will conduct his work. Setting For BNe Bird. _ A stage setting has been painted for “The Blue Bird” by the Russian artist Boris Anisfeld. The first _per- formance of the Wolff-Maeterlinck opera will be given for the benefit of the French-Belgian and American Relief Committee for the restoration of Belgium. , Maurice Maeterlinck, it was said, is expected to be present. Revival of Wagner’s “Parsifal,” but not in the German language, will be an important item of the season's repertoire. To sing it in English, a special translation has been made and there will be new scenery, quite dif- ferent from the traditional setting heretofore in use. Giovanni Martinel- li will sing the title role and Mme. Matzenauer that of Kundry. Mr. Bo- danzky will conduct, During the opening week Caruso will be heard for the first time in “La Juive,” the masterpiece of the French composer Halevy. This work is almost unknown in America. Geraldine in New Role. Miss Farrar also will be heard in a new role during the season, that of Zaza in Leoncavallo’s opera of the same name. It is based on the play in which Mrs. Leslie Carter appeared twenty years ago. One of Rossini’s early operas, “L’- Italiana in Algeri,” will be presented as a real novelty in this country. It is of the buffa type with a mezzo- soprano in the leading role. This part will be sung by Mme. Bezzanzoni. Another Russian opera ‘will be added to the repertoire—Tchaikows- ky’s “Eugene Onyegin,” never before given in America and Massenet’s “Manon” will be revived with Miss Farrar as the heroine of the Abbe Prevost’s famous romance. The Metropolitan Opera’ season lasts for twenty-three weeks. Sixteen visits are made on Tuesday nights to the Metropolitan Opera House in Philadelphia. It is also probable that the company will give its annual week of opera in Atlanta, Ga., the first week in May at the close of the New York season. Expenses of producing grand opera have enormously increased during the past few years, according to Mr. Gatti-Casazza. It is estimated that the average cost per performance at the Metropolitan is now between $10,- 000 and $11,000. Prices of orchestra and dress circle seats have been ad- vanced but the cheaper seats remain as before the war.

C., Nov. 19.—R. Stein, a trader just out of the Arctic, declares this year’s fur catch will be unusually good and that the antagon- ism of the natives in that portion of the Arctic region lying about Behring Stra’ ‘ainst the white trapper, al- though still evident, is gradually di- minishing. Stein has come out with a good eatch of fur, and tales of other suc- cessful trappers and trades. He tells also of a visit to the blond eskimo country, and gives an interesting ac- count of the two natives convicted in Calgary, Alta., of murdering two Ca- tholie priests, who were sent to Herschel Island to serve life sen- tences. It may be recalled that the Royal Northwest Mounted Police added an- other episode to the brilliant pages of their history when they ran down and arrested two blonde Eskimos who had slain the two Catholic priests a few years ago. Inspector Danny Le-Nauze, of the R. N. W. M. P., caught the mur- derers, took them to Herschel, and then brought them by ‘canoe and portage down the Mackenzie river and across country to Edmonton and final- ly to Calgary, where they were tried and found guilty of murder. On account of their being simple savages, with absolutely no concep- tion of the white men’s views on right and wrong, they were not hanged. It was believed more good could be done among the natives by sending them back and keeping them prisoners. They were returned to their own land about eighteen months ago. Stein saw and talked with these two men while he was in the Arctic. The Scarlet Riders are about to es- tablish a post on . Herschel Island largely to protect the blonde Eski- mos. It is here that the two prisoners will be allowed to live, in the heart of their native land. They can hunt and travel, but will be obliged to make the post their centre of operations in order to act as a connecting link be- tween whites and natives. It is be- lieved that by letting them transmit to their tribesmen any information they gained on their travels and dur- ing their experiences in jail they will assist materially in establishing better relations and understandings. “The blonde Eskimos,” said Stein, “live in a’ community system. When a hunter makes a kill his game is the property of his community, though he gets the larger share. The women have a multiplicity of husbands. The two Eskimo-murderers were husbands of the same woman artd were thus partners in hunting. “These natives have. a well-earned reputation for hospitality and friend; liness, but they have another side. It is forced upon them by the rigors of the north. Their district provides sufficient food for just so many peo- ple and no more. They know this. They know too many people would mean the starvation of all. In order to have some control over the birth rate they kill the surplus girl children when they are born, so that the country will not become too thickly populated.” BISMARCK FRIENDSHIP HELPED SAVE LITTLE ‘FRENCH WAR HEROINE How Bismarck’s neighborliness and benevolence helped save a little Fretich war heroine whose father died in de- fense of his country is told in a letter from the tot’s grateful mother to her foster mother, Mrs, E.
