SEMBRICH AS NEDDA. “Cavalleria Rustioana” Also Sung, Making an Italian Night of the First Double Bill of the Season— Gadski as Santuzza. Perhaps not ‘Parstfai” but Caruso is to mark Mr. Conried’s first season of grand opera. The Italian tenor has come into his kingdom #o far as New York is concerned, He is become a° popular idol There were scenes at the Metropolitan Opera-House last night that recalled the heydey of the Academy, when Mapleson was the director; before the musto-drama was understood and while Wagner was a thing to scoff at; when sopranos and tenors came down to the footlghts and screamed their top notes amid a whirlwind of “bravas’’ and ap- plause; when nobody cared a fig for art or the dramatic proprieties, and everybody gave free expression to the appreciation that for the moment pos: sessed him of singing, pure and simple, It was an Itallan night. First came Mascagni's “Cavatleria Rusticana,” ex- cellently done by a famiiar cast. There was Gadski's polgnant but sane Gan- tusza, Hom jeductive Lola, Dippel's picturesque Turlddu, Campanari’s not quite stolid enough Alfio and Bauer- meleter's satisfying Lucia. | Following this came Leoncavallo’s “Pagliacci,” in which Caruso, as Canio, carried the house off its feet, And his triumph was fainly won because he was assoclated with artists well dlished in public favor. Sembrich was making her first ap- pearance in this city ay Nedda. It \s not @ character best muited to her tem- perament, but her easy grace, her mar- vellous simulation of youth and her Inimitable art made hers a notuble per- formance. ‘Then there was Bcott!, as Tonio, his impersonation famillar to all opera- goers, yet rounded out with new details and embellished with added graces, In such company Caruso more than held his own, Playing the clown without the customary white face make-up, he was able to give free expression to his emotions. Others may have touched a more intense note in acting the part,| but none bas excelled bim in its vooal exposition. He was lavish in the use of his voice, and ft rang true at every moment. At the end of the first act there was the singer's crowded the 'standing-room and the gal. ler but from all ns of th - Hise" ipase It came, Agale and. poh their thanks.

Lou Dillon has trotted a mile in 1:58}—a feat. that once seemed im- possible—and was impossible at that time. This hasn’t much to do with shoes, except the error of thinking that the limit of shoemaking system was reached ten years ago, when it became suddenly evident that the $6.00 shoe could be made (in inimense quantities—with three profits eliminated) and sold direct for $8.50. The $8.50 shoe was a distinct bargain once. B SHOE RECORD 46-08 This year ut now the Dollar- Off-Shoe—its equal in every last detail—has been placed on sale at $2.50 by a further and finer development of the system of manufactur- ing in great quantities and selling direct. The $8,50 shoe costs a dollar too much. You will ‘never be convinced until you come and see the new fall and winter shapes. OF SHOES DDO STORES IN THE PRINCIPAL CITIES.
