A casual hearing will show tbe injustice of s it is the fashion to do, of the i school.” Mascagni is only the Ponchieili scuool. Of all the performers in “La Giocon Viviani entered best into the real spirit of his part. He was the Venetian poten to the a great gentl2man in the grace { and su of hisbearing, but nnder ail | the suavity he cleverly su sted e concentr. uc willainy d Liebig's e of d and he sang almost a< well tens was lur.d c <ort of way spy of the ing ion, was palpably “made in tened on Wagner,” which was not exactly Boito’s idea. The librettist drew his Barnaba a good deal ou the Iago lines (with all meet and due rev ce, be it | said, not so much Shakespeare’s Ingo as |'tke magnificent re-creation of “Othello”). Mertens did not catch the subtle spirit of the polished, craity Italian yiliain. He was as grandly barbaric as if he had just escaped, unshaven and un- shorn, from Wagner's *“Trilogy.” But it il becomes one to complain when for 50 cents one is given Wagneriaa villainy in- stead of Venetian villainy, and with good singing to boot. It s the fashion to go into raptures | over Mrs. Hinricns’ singing, but I cannot bring mysel! to admirs the contraltos that fin de siecle masters manufacture a: so muchan hour. Mrs. Hinrichs is one of those so-called contraltos who boas | yentriloquial low notes of the coster- monger variety. The natural conse- quence of flying in the face of providence and bacoming 2 contralto when nature made her a mezzo-soprano is an almost | utter absence of middle notes, a general tendency to wabble and a complete lack | of homogeneousness between the low notes 3 and the high ditto. Aside from these me- | chanical defects in Mrs. she sang oue of the leading roles in “‘La Gioconda” witb great feeling and eX- pression and was nightly encored for the | “Rosary” song, ‘which is the loveliest melody in the opera. Bernice Holmes did about the best work of her Life as Laura, and she acted as gracefully as she sang. 1 It would give me much more pleasure to .criticize Thomas' appearance, which titled | Boito’s | Hinrichs’ voice | [ Wwas unimpeachable, than his voice, which | was not. Peopie unfamiliar with the ten- or's magnificent apostrophe to sky and sea, “Cielo e Mer,”’ scarcely realized that ’ it takes a voice of the Tamagno variety to I do the ariaanything like justice. Thomas | does not profess to be a clarion-throated | tenor—he would refuse to sing under | being exactly vocally equipped to wrestle grand aria very pleasingly, ana people who bad not heard it under other condi- tions were more than satisfied. On the principle that the first shall be last, I have not said anything about Gus- tay Hinrichs and his orchestra. The fact is that ths laureis for a really splendid all-round performance of *“La Gioconda” larealy rest on Mr. Hinrichs’ brow. A | few leaves ought to be culled, though, for George Lask, who was called before the | footlights, as he deserved to be, for the | stage maunagement, mounting, etc., were well nigh perfect. Those delicate, artistic the opening scene, were enough of them- selves to proclaim the tasie with which | *‘La Gioconda’ was put on the stage. Crane is coming here next week with several new plays in his valise and a press agent who is a gem. rhetoric sent forth to herald his star’s ad- vent 1is a sample of his literary style: “In a comparative.y short space of time Thespis, after his summer rest, will have opened wide his eyes, the sound of many tinkling bells will herald the ascension of the curtain and the theairica! season of 3 will be launched with all of taat and enthusiasm tiat seem insepar- POWERS 5‘_,1—1'L_E VENIE | | able from the birth of a new dramatic | campaign.”” Alas! that a genins who can dash off such classic insepirations as that on his typewriter should be wasting his sweet- ness on advance nctices.

His opening offering will be Martha Morton’s comedy drama, *‘A Fool of Fortune.” This play had such a successlul run in New York that toward the end of its engagzement it was found necessary to give special matinees. The theme of the drama centers around Wall street speculation, Crane playing the part of a man who gambles heavily in stocks, and finally dies in the hour of triumph- antly making a huge fortune. During the | second week of his stay Crane will pre- sent a comedy written by Eucene Pres- brey, entitled “A Virginia Courtship.” Tue supvorting company includes Aunie Insk, Parch Haswell, Walter Hale and Boyd Patnam.

Doutlietr, who has only been in this country a few years, is gecoznvzed among the musicians of New {ork. The recital will take place on Wednes- day evening next. Frawleg's New Play. T. Daniel Frawiey has just completed arrangements for producing an original comedy by Augustus Thomas. The au- thor will come out to superintend the pro- duction in person. Charles Frohman holds the American rights of the piece, and Charles Hawtrey has secured the English rights. Writing to Mr. Frawley Augustns Thomas says: “I do not know Mr. Hawtrey’s reason for not doing the piece before this. Mr. Froh- mau’s failure to do it wasdue to the re- fusal of the leading people of his theater to play in support of the comic, who has | easily the star part of the piece. I think now that Mr. Frohman has settled into a waiting attitude in the hope that Mr. Hawirey will be the first to make the ex- periment. “I have faith in the play, and should like to see it tried. A New York agent has sent me the roster of your company, | and it occarred to me that the piece might A telegram was received yesterday from on the coast, and Augustus| Thomas wired that he would lea New York for San Francisco on the Tth inst. Thomas called the piece *“The Only Mr. Eli,” but Frohman rechristened it **Don’t Teil Her Husband.” The Paper Wasn't There. Mr. Murray, manager of the “Twelve Temptations” troupe, entertained up to a few days ago a distinctly rosy view of the name which had been chosen for that weird production. Itappealed to his di- lettante love of the picturesque and the classical and seemed toround out a whole- some and yet aliuring combination of effects to both ear and eve which, once seen and heard, might never be forgotten. But one day he had occasion to send a drayman to the treight office after some advertising matter—*paper,” as the “*pro- fession’ grandly term it. Mr. Murray apated not a whit of his customary | grandeur of manner when he airily waved his nand in the direction of the depot and addressed the drayman : “Go,” =aid he, “ana get the consignment of paper you wiil find there for ‘The Twelve Temptations.”” The man went. An hour nad passed when be returned, emoty-handed and empty-wagoned. “What's the mattér?”’ demanded Mr. Murray. *“Where's the paper?’ ““Wasn't there,”” repiied the man. “But 1 know it is there. You couldn’t miss it if you were in a block of the right place, Anybody around there could bave pointed it out to you. Better go back again.” “Well,” muttered the man, reluctantly, I guess it went astray, anyhow, I asked as plain as I'm talkin’ now for the paper for ‘Them Ten Commandments’ and no- body knew anything about ‘em.” And now 1t i1s whispered that Mr. Mur- | ray wearsa far-away look in hiseye and isincubnting u deep and dark proposition to have Mr. Yale change the name of his old piec* to something that a poor man may understand.
