He was warmls welcomed as he entered the orchestra and was called before the curtain {th the principal singers after each act. Under his magnetic leadership the orchestra played superbly, More than once ignored the singers as he reached for a stunning climax. But he id not fail to do justice to the softer Passages.

At the height of her passion, in the depths of her dis. tress, in the exalted mood preceding her death, she ts always the Irish princess Much of the music is too high for her, aad the strain upon her vocal resources fs great; but she overcomes the diMcul- tles and she sings with a rich variety of coloring sultable to the emotion which controls her. On the ship her moments of brood’ng were as eloquen: in their way as her complete abandon- ment of restraint at the beginning of the second act, Throughout the love duet she was entrancing, Her liebestod, begun rather ineffectively, rose to great het and the audience paid her trib- ute for !t by remaining to call her out eoveral times after the curtain.

Summoned before Isolde, he bore himself with dignity and grace, His singing, too, was better than any he has done here, But when 1 came io the great love duet of the second act his voice and his method of using it were as disappointing as ever, It is diMoult music to sing, but it is meant to be sung, and sometines it has been sung gloriously upon that same'stage, What a treat it would be to find a German tenor who could sing as the two Ameri- 1 women sang in last night's cast!
