The theater was filled with actors, singers and theatrical managers from every civi- lized land. ‘Wilde's text has been adhered to throughout; nothing that has caused objection to be raised to the original drama has been omitted from the opera —it is the same story of Orlental voluptuousness. Salome s the same beautiful tigress. But what shall be said of the music? Is it the music of the future? 1Is, the music of the composer of “Salome” to displace “Tannhauser” and “Lohen- grin”? “Salome” subordinates the music on the stage to that of the or- opera by Richard Stradss, and the re- | is just beginning, trimmed ones for auto wear.

Mr. Aronson also signed for next season the distinguished Ita- | lian prima donna, Marla Colleredo, and Arthur Shattuck, the American planist, a pupil of Leschetizky, who recently pleyed with much success at a Lamou- reux concert in Paris. 'Mr. Aronson is also negotiating with Allessandro Bonei, a tenor, who in some operas has been considered in London, Berlin ‘and Vienna even greater than Caruso. e L Count Bon! Secks Homors. PARIS, Jan. 13.—Count Boni de Cas- tellane, who temporarily eclipsed his political lights, is opening a new cam- paign, with articles, Interviews and pronouncements, marking the rebirth of his old ambition to force his way into a ministerial place, with an eye to a future Presidency of the republic. His | programme. is mainly an attack upon the Government on the question of separation of church and state; but he takes a strong line on foreign politics, backing a continuation of the Russian alifance, deepening the entente cordiale with England and attacking Delcasse fiercely over Marocco. 3 ——————— Empress Compliments Singer.

Strauss, being a royal servant in his capacity as one of the eonductors of the Berlin Opera, was Informed by the Kaisér that his Majesty thought the writing of such an opera on such a theme as “Salome” was unworthy of him and not conducive to the advance- ment of pure art. To this Strauss re- plied that he was not going to take lessons on the qualities of art from any one, no matter how highly placed, unless his inherent knowledge of the subject was superior to Strauss’ own. A coolness ensued, and it is said that the contract with Strauss in regard to his position as director of the Berlin Orchestra will not be renewed. ————————— MAN WHO WAS SHOT TO DEATH BY OFFICER IS IDENTIFIED Joseph Rouseau of Tacoma Visits Ba- kersfield and Recognizes Body as That of His Brother.
