N TOMORROW evening at the Municipal Auditorium the first number of the sec- ond season of the Associ- ated Retailers’ Course will be put on, it being the pre- sentation * of Bizet's im- mortal opera “Carmen.” This will | formally usher in-the musical season in Omaha, and is to be followed on i Tuesday evening by “Il Provatore,” ] the wonderful musical drama on which the fame of Verdi as a composer would rest secure, had hé written nothing else. These two operas are to be present- ed by special casts, the quality of which can leave little to be desired. The greatest Carmen of her day, Ger- aldine Farrar, will be heard in a role in which she has no rival. For Don Jose, Lucien Muratore, tenor of the rarest ability, is scheduled, and Clar- ence Whitehill, whose big voice is al- ready familiar to Omaha, is to be heard in the booming music of the Toreador. Helen Stanley will sing the splendid part of Micaela, and Rita Fornia, Alma Peterson, Octave Dug and Constantin Nicolay are.to have > the other )Ia_rincipal roles. For “Il Trovatore” a similarly opu- lent arrangement is offered. Marie Rappold, a sqprano of established name, is to sing Leonora in lieu of Emmy Destinn, whom a stern gov- ernment would not allow to leave her native Austria to wander in the wilds of the U. S. A, To Leonora Morgan | Kingston will sing the love songs of ! Manrico, and Louise Homer, also known her for her ravishingly beauti- ful contralto, will give to Azucena's lament for her mountains and wild- wood the tones that make it a song ever to, be remembered. Giovanni Polese, lusty and full of vigor, is to be the Conti d{ Luna, and Leon Rothier, Octave Dua, Desire Defrere and Rocco Franzini will be heard in the lesser roles, Supporting these casts, whose strength cannot be questioned, a chorus of sixty voices, especially se- lected because of musical qualifica- tions, will give the ensemble numbers, and the ballet will be supplied by a competent corps of sixteen led by the premiere dansuese, Albertina Rasch of the Royal Opera, Vienna. The orches- tra of sixty-five competent musicians i c‘omple(u the roster of the organiza- i tion, Cleofonte Campanini, known to fame hereabouts as conductor of the Chicago Opera, and at the Metropoli- tan in New York, is both musical and dramatic director of the company, as well as conductor, and more could not be said for the care with which the operas have been prepared for pre- sentation. 4 Al So much for the prospectus. The eomf‘lny began its season at Toledo on Monday night of last week, and went from there to Milwaukee, and then to St. Paul, where it closed its engagement last night. The Bee has \! * ublished special dispatches rom Toledo, telling of the reception given the organization there in the operas that are to be sung here. It may not be out of place to insert right here something of what the local rs of those cities had to say rega g the; manner in which the gr works were presented: . Toledo Blade: “What a treat to 3 mperfoet a _rendition of a great ratic work! Toledo evidently ap- es it—witness the vast throng t and the enthusiasm and’ in- nce of the applause.

Her voice is rarely lovely in its purity and sweetness. She gave a vocal and visual picture of the gen- tle and timid country cirl which was like a violet in its pure fragrance. She left an ineffaceable impression. Clar- ence Whitehill as Escamillo was pic- turesque, commanding and vocally ef- fective; his interpretation was worthy to stand with the others. And so were the minor roles—they were all done \by artists capable of much higfer things. We note especially Nicolay and Dua in the roles of the smugglers, which they infused with an agreeable air of comedy. Mesdames Petersen and Fornia as the companions of Carmen charmed vocally and were effective as actresses. “The orchestra was large and com- petent. The conducting of Campanini was flawless. The intermezzi were symphonic gems. The chorus, cos- tumes and stage pictures were of a high order of excellence. The stage VT sewing machine made, lock and chain stitel, central needle style. Five cents first pay- ment secures its de- livery. COME IN MON URGESS directing was praiseworthy in that it resulted in 'such smoothness and per- fection.” William Jaffe in Milwaukee Free Press: “Last night’s performance of Carmen was a revelation. It was so finished in every detail, so gloriously worked out in its climaxes that criti- cism for once may be silent. “The orchestra under Campanini's inspiring conducting achieved superb results, Seldom have I heard so large a body of men accompany the singers so discreetly. \ “The highest praise bestowed upon an aggregation of artists such as sang last night is that each one was seem- ingly bent upon making the perform- ance as a whole a perfect one. There was none of that “getting into the limelight' so often o%scr\'ed. Hence the result, a most wonderful ensemble, which thrilled and completely capti- vated the audience. “It gives me garticuhr pleasure to speak in terms of Highest praise of the FIVE CENTS BRINGS - TOYOU A STANDARD ROTARY The World’s Best Sewing Machine HE great “‘New Era’ club plan is a sure, safe and profitable way to secure a Standard Rotary sewing machine, or any other standard make machine in our Sewing Machine Section.

She is the girl from his native village who seeks to win him from his evil companions and take him home. To her is allotted the duo with Jose in the first act and the famous aria in| the third, the first words of which are: “Je dis que rien ne m'epouvante.” | “The greatest Manrico the world now has,” is the estimate Cleofonte Campanini gave to Morgan Kingston, | the English tenor, who will sing this sensational role in “Il Trovatore” at the Auditorium next Tuesday night, the second evening of the grand opera engagement. “Not since the days of Jean de Reske has the story been sung so well,” declares Mr, Key, the exacting -y, THE_OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: OCTOBER_22, 1916.

Yet the World’s criticism is no exaggeration, for Mr. Kingston is magnetic of figure, with a truly heroic; yet colorful stenor which as- sumes an ineffable tenderness at times. His acting has seldom been equalled on the operatic stage. His voice is of the full, vibrant, powerful tenor, of the purest quality, lacking altogether the baritone. color which is found in so many tenor voices of the heroic class.
