A native opera, written, produced, conducted and in part sung by Americans, has | received the warm approval of a, native audjence. . Charles’ ‘Wakefleld pCadman's “A | Witch ut,fluem." based on a story revolving faround thQ‘!mchmfl ] teria of{seventeenth' xentury Massa- chusetts Vacored a fine.success hers | last night in its world' premiere by.| the Chicago Civic Opera Ceo.. and friends of native opera wers rejoicing, ' Abounds in Color. Members of the cast, which included | Charles Hackett, prominent American tenor; Eide Norena gnd Irene Pawe g loska, answered two dozen curtain calls, along with Mr. Cadman, Henry | G. Weber, the Chicago conductor, and olrhorl who had a part in the produce tion. Chicago musical critics found the score abounding in melodic ecolor of ; an American stamp, and one called it the best American opera to date, with the possible exception of Victor Herbert's “Natoma."” Hackett was cast as Arnold Talbet, in love with Claris Willoughby (Eide Norena), daughter of a Puritan mer- chant. Shella Meloy, an Jrish ward of Willoughby, played by Irene Pave loska, is in love with Talbot, and, roused by jealousy, induces a. frien: to bring an accusation of witcheraft against Claris, who is led away to execution. Later, remorceful, sha cone fesses and the lovers are reunited. Old Puritan Hymns, Old Puritan hymns, in varlous treatments, dominate the score, but there is a dash of Irish folk songs, plenty of witchcraft eeriness, a. pirate chanty, and a striking love duet near the end of the first act that brought an ovation. Critics said that Hackett set forth the English text flawlessly, and found High-Grade Seamless Axminster Rugs that the enunciation of nearly all members of the cast was all that pro- Eon’enll of opera in English could esire.
