No operatic artist plays the villian as well as Scotti, and his portrayal of Baron Scarpla, the cold-blooded, vindictively cruel man, was given in @ masterly way. It is tn this role that Mr. Scotti won world-wide fame, | and he is stl the most supremely finished baritone and actor on the operatic stage, his voice retaining the same fine qualities it always posseased. Alicg Gentle, who ts rapidly gain- ing fume as one of the leading operatic singers of the May, as Floria! Tosca, was superb.
