She looked young and handsome. utterance of the Valkyrie cry was thrilling. Her fgrewell to Wotan was ful) of pathos and beautifully sung. Hardly ever has her impersonation of the most Jovable of Wagner's heroines been s0 impassioned. Margarete Ober was ® commanding Fricka and Melanie Kurt was a lovely picture as Biegiinde, Jacques Urlus, as Sig- mund, sang and acted well. Cari Braun's voice—-he was Wotan— Seemed to tire in the last scene. The music is a bit high for him. Hasil Ruysdaol's Hunding was sufticientiy Ginister in looks and actions and was Well sung. Lenora Spar Warrum, Vera Curtis, Rita Florence Mulford, Julia Marie Mattfeld and Lila Robeso made a fine choir of Valkyries.
