By Sylvester Rawling. ERE’S a paradox! A new “erdi opera at the Metropolitan Opera House last night! True, “La Forza del Destino” (in English, “The Force of Destiny”) ts half a century old. It was sung at the Academy of Musto in the '80s, when Col, Mapleson was King, and before that it had been Presented under the direction of Max Maretzek. In recent years it has had! me performances in the Bowery, but never had it been heard in the august Temple of Music at Broadway and 40th Street before last night, More the pity! for there are some stunning things in it. In Italy, especially in Rome, it is @ rival of “Il Trovatore” in Popularity, and, like the latter, it is founded on a gruesome, impossible story, the book by Francesco Maria Fiave, from a drama by the Duke of Rivas. Briefly told, the story is that Don Alvaro, nobleman from Indla, ‘alls in love with, and is beloved by, the daughter of the Marquis of Calatrava, who considers hi-mtoo plebelan ta en- ter his Castilian family. An elope- ment is planned but fs frustrated. An accidental discharge of Don Alvaro's pistol kills the father. After some ad- ventures, the daughter, Donna Loo- nora, seeks the protection of the Church and is immured. Her brother, Don Carlos, under an assumed nam: seeks Don Alvaro to avenge his fat! er. But Alvaro, too, has disguised himself and fighting together in Italy the two men become bosom friends. When Alvaro is wounded the iden- tity of both is disclosed. Alvaro takes refuge in the Church. Carlos follows him into the cloister and forces duel in front of his sister's lonely dwelling. The curtain falls upon the death of all three. Verdi clothed the tale with much musical verbosity, but found oppor- tunity for some stunning moment There are individual arias and con- certed pieces of great beauty. One of these is the duel between Al Carlos, a familiar record phonograph. Interspersed tragedy, too, are some fine bits of comedy, and, of course, there is u ballet, which takes place in an en- campment. The opera is in four acts of eight scenes, divided between Spain and Italy, adequately and _pictur- esquely painted by Ernest M. Gros and James Fox. One of these, an inn,| a8 Giordano Paltrinierl, as Tr has an atmosphere like that of Lilus| buco, a muleteer, He made a good recognized her qu opera, induted Mr. Gatti to give her an audition and secured her enga ment.

Rosa Ponselle as Leonora, making her operatic debut, was both a sur. prise and a delight. Her voice is fresh, clear and of lovely quality. After she had overcome her initial nervousness, she used it with fine! race and effectiveness, In her, Mr.| atti has found something worth while, and, taghis and to her credit, she was unheralded. She was born in Meriden, Conn., of Italian parents, She and her sister were singing in vaudeville up to nine months #g0. A well known singing teacher heard her, of It, especially in the scene where he if wounded, was exquisite, Mw Luca was admirable as Carlos and 3 Abbot.

He was found | unconscious in the gutter at No, 163 Eldridge Street, shot in the abdo- men. Before he died in Gouverneur | Hospital tt was found in falling he| had fractured his skull, | ‘The police have found no one who w the shooting. Sam Kurzwell, a special policeman at Eldridge and De- lancey Streets, thinks he heard two shots at 1 A. M,, but he saw no one. Somebody told Policeman Lenz thore was a dead man in the street, and he found Smith. Soon after the unconscious man was taken to the hospital a well dressed man hurried in and asked to see him, When told this was im- | possible he said: “I knew him weil in| London.”/ Then he added, “I know who Killed him, too.” The hospital clerk had no authority to detain the caller, and he disappeared before a policeman could be summoned. But later on the police heard in a vague way how Barney Smith was killed, and why. His latest exploits, so the story went, were in connection with one of the local strikes, One of his specialties was hiring gangsters for “strong arm” work, especially in strikes, He was credited with get- ting $100 @ week and a “rake-off” from the thugs he employed. All through the east side he was feared because of his readiness with | a revolver, as well as his ability with | nis fists, Among his associates he was a bully.

Winter Weather No Longer a Barrier to Motorists Provided With Suitable Machine Tops, Skid Chains and Anti-Freezing Radiator Precautions, cars to run through the cold months and uuder comfortable tray- elling conditions. Now the far-sighted car owner protects himself against wintry days with a suitable top for his machine, proper precauti¢ against the radiator freezing, skid chains to guard against slippery pave- ments. The net result is that few machines are put up for the winter period. It is simply now a case of securing the proper equipment, and the weather man in winter ceases to be an obstacle for the motor public.
