Butterfly,” Master- piece of Puccini, Brings Rare Charm. “Madame Butterfly,” as presented Jast night by the American Opera Co., | at Poli's, was one of those unexpected treats that do not often come. Pic- torially charming and dramatically con- ‘vincing, the opera was produced, not in the bombastic manner of the old school, but with a simplicify that seemed pleas- antly characteristic of our own times. It was a question whether the Ameri- :;:“nmnw to this plece did justice to There were moments when the lan- guage seemed about as realistic as the talkies, and other times when one might ' have been convinced that it doesn't matter what kind of a language is used in the presentation of opera. But whatever the verdict on' this point, there was very little doubt but that last night's performance was one of the most ingenuously pleasing witnessed on these monumental shores. Cho-Cho-San, the lady who actually gives breath into the life of this opera, iwas sung by Eunice Sheen, hurriedly substituted for Cecile Sherman. She was o good that one is at a loss to suggest how she could have been bet- ter. Graced with a youthful appear- ance and manner, not often genuine in the realms of cpera, she sang with a birdlike clarity and ease. Although one suspects she must have been sorely tempted to vie with an overanxious ‘orchestra, Miss Sheen never once forced her notes, and in such passages as “Some Day He'll Come” brought & fit- ting climex to & lovely role, Charles Hedley, as the headstrong Pinkerton, in spite of not being blessed With a power, has a voice of pleasing quality. The Suzuki of Harriet Eells was & sympathetic picture, if not vocally perfect. Edith Piper, however, as the American_wife, although in voice, ‘was a little too reminiscent of a modern Eportswear advertisement. Mr. Van Grove wielded his baton with generally good ‘esults, with the excep- tion of moments when he allowed his brasses to run away with him. This afternoon at 2 “Carmen” was presented, and tonight “Faust” will con- clude the company’s engagement in this city. E. M. BANK AUDIT LIKELY T0 TAKE 4 WEEKS ‘Del my'.
