Appeal Planned. By the Associcted Press. CHICAGO, January 9.—Federal Judge Charles E. Woodward in an opinion yesterday declared that prohibition agents are empowered to seize fixtures rever they have made a legal seizura of liquor on which internal revenue tax has not been paid. The ruling, covering 11 pages, was reported to be the first written opinion to be given by a Federal court on_this question. Judge Woodward's opinion arose from the seizure of fixtures and supplies in a saloon operated by Stanley Pieza of Cicero, & suburb, Fieza had contended that prohibition agents could not make seizures under a statute pertaining to internal revenue.

The Isolde of Jullette Lippe was even more magnificent and satis- fying vocally than last year. The Tristan of Rudolf Ritter was unusually effective. His singing of the vision music in the last act, when for the first time during his solo_work the orchestra was held down sufficiently to give the audience full value of his rich Voice quality, was superb. The duet music in the second act also was par- ticularly well done by this couple of singers, obviously trained in the real | traditions of opera in Germany. The performance last night was the second in the series of four to be given in Washington at the opening of the tour of this company. It was given keen attention and appreciative ap- plause by a large audience. Opera for Two Singers. “Tristan und Isolde” is practically an opera for two singers with orchestra. Brangaene, it is true, has two rich solo episodes, which were both ad- mirably sung by Sonia Sharnova, whose contralto voice showed fine training and whose acting was especially good. Gott- hold Ditter sang and acted the role of Kurwenal realistically, and Dudley Mar- wick, who sang King Mark's role in a kingly manner, gave the most effec- tive dramatic gesture of the entire eve- ning in that which followed Mme. Lippe's singing of the famous “Lieb- estod,” which closes the opera. Gustav Werner as the shepherd, Franz Egeniefl as Melot, Albert Jablonski as the steersman and Josef Lengyel's singing | of the sailor's part off stage all were adequate, The instrumental solo of the shepherd w beautifully done. Ernest opera Knoch conducted the brilliantly. 's_voice soared Mme.

Generally, Mr. Knoch held his orches- tra well down in this dramatic, color- ful score, which tempts the orchestra always to run away with first place instead of giving that position to the singers. The playing of the prelude was beautifully done. Clear Enunciation. All the singers showed clear enuncia- tion, and the men’s chorus sung on shipboard in the first act was much better than in previous productions of this opera here. The grouping and dramatic “business” of this chorus also was both unusual and effective. ‘Throughout the opera the settings, the traditions in a general way, were unusually good, with some lovely ef- fects achieved by the lighting. ~The costumes also ‘played their share in making this an outstanding production. ‘The next opera in the series is Mo- held close downstage, while following |3® zart’s “Don Juan,” which is to be pre- sented tomorrow night at 8 garethe Baumer, German soj "Good Night.
