JATL OPERA ON BOARDS ‘TONIGHT “Jobuny Spielt Aul” From Yicana, at the “Met” New York, Jan. 19 UM—There are going to be strange doings at the Metropolitan Opera House tonight. On that august stage will be pre- | American premicre of | sented the Ernst Krenek's jazz opera “Johnny Bpielt Auf.” Locomotive and Flivver Back in the wings—where it has for years been the custom never to store anything more sensational than an occasional dragon for the Wagnerian Siegfried to slay—there waited a steam locomotive that will go roaring down stage and run over the villain, And into the space sacred to the memory of Lohengrin's swan irrev- erent stage hands have wheeled a five-passenger automobile. ‘Tucked away back there also were & huge radio loud speaker and a lot of things which, when assembled, | look just tike'the train level of the Pennsylvania station. All props for “Johnny."” “It's going to be,” sighed Phi Crispano, head property man, “just like the good old days when they did melodrama at the Hippodrome.” dazz Band Leader Hero The props are not the only things that are going to startle the Metro- politan devotees who gather to sce the premiere of “Johnny. There will be “Johnny, the jazz hand leader—his face cov- ered with burnt cork, hut his neck left white to show that he isn't veally a black man after all—en- gaging in a most outrageously im- pudent tap dance while he plays a saxophone right into the teeth of | Arthur Bodanzky, no less, choking a couple of cops and throwing them out of their own automobile; and standing on top of a grand piano’ to roar Rria. out a thumping bariton: Also Jazz Orchestra There will be a jazz orchestra— hired to supplement the two saxo- phones owned by the Metropolitan orchestra—playing in the wings, the music broadcast out onto the stage over what is probably the world’s shortest radio hook-up. And right through, from overture to final curtain, there will be ja Juzz—jazz. Charleston, Black Bot- tom, and Blues. Ever since last May, Fred Hosll, the Metropelitan's master mechanic, and Mr. Crispano have been working on the props for “Jonny Spielt Auf.” Joseph Urban designed the seta, but, as Crispano says: “He didn't have to make ‘em.” Out of wood Crispano has built a | locomotive that weighs 1,800 pounds, runs on steel rails, and has a blind- ing headlight. Run through the body are rubber hose pipes, attached to the back stage steam pipes so there will he plenty of steam shoot- ing out fram under the engine when she moves forward. But Crispano is not so satisfied with his automobile. While “Jonny" is strangling the cops and throw- ing them out, the automobile is sup- | posed to zig-zag across the stage at breakneck speed, skid, and do an about-face. Safety First Auto We couldn’t use a real automo- |Lile,” Crispano said. “Suppose it should get temperamental and land down in the orchestra pit! And this wooden automobile, pushed by hand, can't go very fast.” They are going to try to create the impression of speed ®onight by hav- ling a sort of motion picture ma- chine in the orchestra pit to throw kaleidescopic scenes on the curtain |back of the slowly moving auto- mobile. But Mr. Crispano is doubt- ful. . | *Jonny” calls for more quick and freakish scenery shifts than any other opera the Metropolita has jever produced, except “Magic Flute," and Mr. Hosli has taken on 20 extra men for tonight, giving him a crew 1of 40. Ends With Charleston Michael Bohnen, bariton—who re- cently completed a “talkie movie"— | will sing the role of the hero, “Jon- |ny"” Florence Easton will be Anita, the beautiful white opera singer with whom Jonny is supposed to be in love. Max, the compcser, with whom she finally elopes to America, will be sung by Rudolph Laubenthal, |tenor, and Friedrich Schorr, baso, will be his rival, the violin Virtuoso who eventually falls under the locomotive. Arthur Bodanzky will be the con- ductor, and the Metropolitan ballet, |rigged up like a lot of Ziegfeld chorus girls, will appear in the finale, dancing—the Charleston.
