Chicago Opera Company Gave Twenty-Four Operas in Stay Here. By Frank H. Warren. ‘The Chicago Opera Company, with to-night’s performance of “Love of ‘Three Kings,” completes its five weeks’ engagement a: the Manhattan Opera House. The statistical record of Miss Garden's organization em- braces twenty-four different operas, two pallets, thirty-five performances. “Salome” led the way with three per- formances, “La Trviata,” “Girl of the Golden West,” “Madama Butterfly,” “Love of Three Kings,” “Pagliace!,’ “Jewels of the Madonnaa,” “Tann- hauser,” “Rigoletto” and “Thais” had two apiece, and the remaining operas were heard but once, The cotmpany was a better outfit than last season's. artists, an improved orchestra, a first rate and capable leading conductor in r, Polacco, a creditably intelligent orus, and an efficent stage director. The eatier productions were high class and compared favorably with the Metropolitan's but, in the later days, the standard strangely dropped The company’s best effort wi per- haps, “Pelleas and Melisande” with the first showing of “The Girl of the (older West” achieving high distinc- tion because of Rosa Raisa’s fine sing- ing asd acting. The single presenta- tion o& “The Barber of Seville’ main- tained the pace and served to intro- duce Maria Ivogun, a charming color- ature soprano of whose exceptional art farther use might have been made. indeed, the company kept some of its }est tngers under cover, for Edward Johnson, American tenor, and Vincent Hallester, baritone, together with Miss Ivogun, could have heen used to odvantagt. Mention should be made of the attractive ballet “Le Fete a ltobinson,’ that had its premiere here.

Mme. Namuara is no stranger to the local stage, hav- ing tested her talents ia concert, in light opera and in occasional appear- ances with various cpera organiza- tions, With ‘Thais," costume is the first consideration. In this regani Mme. Namara upheld al! established customs even to the open work back, the exposed waist line and the gown that clings like faint lilies. Vocally, the soprano was a surprise. Her voice has acquired grester power and vigor and, while her singing lacked finish and certain vocal refinements, her tones were clear and imbued with warmth, She improved as the opera progressed and did her best work in the two acts. Dramatically, Mme. amara’s work demonstrated that it requires a singer of strong) personality and charm to make “Thais'’ effective, The thrilling cli- maxes that are such a feature of her impersonation were act the role along normal eping with the char ttch was the Nic |lines, qui did not require th He sang Monday and) ) The DIET during & after INFLUENZA Ash Famous Flavor ‘You will never know the full delight of Lag ham you taste the di flavor of at Fe F.
