Ono of Arnold Bennett's people says, some where, that outsldo of AVagnor thero is but ono great opera which has a great libretto, and that is "Carmen." Tho production by the Philadelphia Operatic Society last night was nmplo proof. "Carmen" Is so lino that It is nmateur-proof, It Is almost beyond human power to spoil It, but the talented amateurs of the society showed to a remarkable extent how lino it could bo made. In the first place, It was well produced the staging was adequate, tho little misfortunes of amateur work were surprisingly absent, the ensemble movements were well executed and tho costuming -was tastefully done. Then the nctlng was unusual, not only for amateur per formances. The acting demands which "Car men" makes on Its slngors nre greater per haps than that of any other opera, and tho Mars last night satisfied those demands to the last detail. Finally, tho singing was good, and the dancing was good. What moro could be nsl"d7 Individual honors went to Miss VIvlenne Segal from tho moment she made her capti vating appearance. Miss Segal's Interpretation of the part was more Bizet than Merimee. 8ho was too pleasing, not half vicious enough. But the lilt in her voice nnd In her movements was so thoroughly fresh, nn Incarnation of nen ley's "wanton and wondrous nnd forever well," that one forgave the sweetness which should not have been. Miss Segal's voice Is a rich hut not too powerful mezzo-soprano; Its weak ness came out In the dance song of the second act, for example. But It was well sustained, and, considering that the singer had to strug gle with tho English libretto, It was rather wonderful. Mr. Rothermel's Don Jose was acted with a certain humor, but his voice wai cloudy at times, and only In his bravura pass ages showed Its strength. Horace Hood as Escamlllo roared the Toreador song In splen did voice and character, and Adellim Paul Nonr as Mlcaela and Adele Hassan ns Fras qultn gave careful interpretations of their parts. The Individuals ware all so good that to mark out certain ones seeing Invidious. Those, however, in the star parts, were stars. Wasslll Lepi conducted the opera with fine spirit. The extraordinary thins was that this per. formance fell thort In a way utterly unknown before. Most amateur operas are faulty be cause they imitate professionals too much. The direction of this performance. In a praisewor thy attempt to cseapo the obvious, erred by exepss of zeal. They forgot that at a given moment their street in Seville becomes no longer a street but the apron of -a stage on which a man is singing a lyrle. So, in the first act. bits of genre work by the choru-j effectually spoiled one of Mr. Rothermel's arias. The members of tho chorus passed in gay and far too lnteretin bounty behind him, while he sang. The Idea wa not at fault, but the execution. And quite upart from the merits of this production. last night gave great argument in the matter of opera In English. When singer have to itruggle with "Love you not me. love i men you, ami nave to make it tit Caimen Cita's soPi,-. it can be truly mid ihat the great- est enemies of opera in English are the operas I now in English. THE DRAMA ,S!i w MARION SIMPSON "Whirl of the World" Lyric. FLASHES FROM "STARS" For musical comedy scores we havo depended for years mainly upon European composers. Our musical comedy successes, to a great do gree, havo come from Vienna and Paris. In fact, as we stated tho other day, there are but three composers in America who under stand musical comedy requirements Victor Herbert, Ivan Caryll nnd Rudolph Frlml. That foreign composers and librettists are fighting In tho European conflict may partly account for the lack of new musical comedy produc tions this season. On tho other hand, as Henry Savngo has stated, producers may be detained from making such extensive financial Invest ments ns musical comedies require under the present financial conditions. Whatever the cause, there have not been so few musical plays for many years as thero are this season. At thlu tlmo last year thero had appeared In Novr York "Adele," "The Marriage Market," "Sweet hearts," "Miss Caprice," "Her Little Highness" and "The Little Cafe," with "Tho Madcap Duchess" and "O, I Say" under way. At the present time "Tho Girl from Utah," "Pretty Miss Smith" and "Chin Chin," are tho only new productions In Manhattan. Outside of New York, "Papa's Darling" Is playing In town; "Tho Debutante," which will be hero next week, has been in nearby cities, and "The Only Girl" la schedulod for an early Manhattan production. Curiously limited ns the productions havo been, tho really great successes so far this season have been In mu sical comedy. Montgomery and Stone have repented the tremendous hit achieved here nt tho Forrest Theatre at the Globo In New York, and are said to be the greatest attraction there.

Here Is a field of unlimited opportunity. It Is unquestionably true that our predilection for foreign music nnd art has discouraged national Initiative, and if, as Outzon Borglum has repeatedly sold, sculptors and painters have neglected original work for more profit able hack work, this Is true also of composers nnd librettists.
