MRAR TRIUMPH
IN "TOSCA" OPENS
OPERA SEASON
iScotti and Martinelli in Other
Leading Roles Brilliant
Audience at the Metropolitan.
The opera Reason, diminished In extent
but In glory not one whit, opened In
Fhlladelplila nt promptly 8:15 last night
I'urhen Arturo Toscanlpt, conductor with
,tHa Metropolitan Opera Company, raised
ihls bnton for tho flrot bars of Puccini's
Tosco."
To greet the familiar opera and tho
admirable singers In It Philadelphia sent
ft representative opera audience. From
I the music lovers In tho topmost gallery
I to the music lovers In the boxes tho au-
Etilcnco was keenly appreciative and thor
loughly happy.
Special plcasuro seemed to be taken
Iby nil In tho fact that Philadelphia Is
the only city outside New York where
Brand opera on a metropolitan scalo can
now bo heard In this country.
No thought of retrenchment or of tho
high cost of living was noticeable In tho
Auditorium. The oporntlc "Gold Coast,"
more familiarly known as tho "horse
shoe," shone, and was resplendent, as It
has always been. Tho promenade was
a gorgeous glitter of beauty adorned.
Even the hugo opera house was newly
decorated and newly nrrnyed to greet
the season.
Apart from the music, the costumes of
Hiss Fnrrnr and the excellent staging of
the opera came In for tho most onthusl
nstlo comment. Miss Farrar' entered In
a graylsh-bluo brocade dress, a green
hat and a most onvlable cloak, flowered
and figured and draped over her shoul
ders In utmost grace. In the second act
sho threw off a rich blue cloak to show
a gown of yellow satin.
In the final scene, played under a sem-
blance of tho changing HghtB of day
break, her dress changed from bluish gray
to the dull gray of the final tragedy.
CRITICISM OF THE OPERA.
"Toscn" Is familiar enough and the
Justification for choosing it In such a brief
season as Philadelphia Is to have was to
tnako It appear strange and wonderful
and new, or to cast It with perfect art
ists. The former method. It scorns, was
beyond the capacities of the Metropolitan
Opera Company. In the first place thoy
lack n Joseplr urban to paint tnelr scen-
Iery, and are content with the time-worn
drops thoy possess.
Choosing the socond method, they sue-
Iceedcd admirably, through the efforts of
farrar, Scottl and Martlnelll. Between
lino high ' dazzling apparition of Farrar
(and tho damning apparition of Scottl, Mr.
Martlnelll was In desperate straits to

tones and highly expressive. He acted

noted, had not a single aria which In fn-

eairv Scottl has no need to sing In -the
tallan manner to win his trlumnh. He
would still play tho "old sad faithful

touch of Tosca's hand. He played It ter

FAimAn-s TIUUMPII.
I Because Miss Farrar was, In everything,
Beyond reproach. She has the faculty
if making others who attempt the roles
which are hers by the divine right of
Irt, appear' tawdry and meretricious.
Compared with the Tosca-Scarpla of lost
fear's opening, this alone was art; the
ther was advertising. Mr. Marcoux's
ESearpla la more brutal, but ho Is not more
terrible.
I Miss Garden's Tosca Is more striking.

Seeded to make poor Tosca's hackneyed
plight seem true-again.
Miss Farrar has given thanks to will
hmann for the new wonder of her
voice. It is time now that her hearers
save thanks. Only once. In the last act;
id Id she lose control of It; apart from that
ner voice came wiw marvelous sweetness,
not rich In texture, but finely grained and
nxpressjYe In a hundred shades of feeling.
She has the faculty of making her voice.

I Miss Farrar achieved a wonderful

A child labor bill, which will be In
troduced In tho next Legislature has been
drafted by the Pennsylvania Child Labor
Association. The association expects tho
bill will meet with the requirements Of
Governor-elect Brumbaugh, who pledged
jilmself as favoring n child labor statute.
Republican Organization leaders say
that a bill of this nature will bo passed.
In most of Its essentials tho measure In
similar to that which was emasculated
by tho Senate In tho Inst session.
The bill will be Introduced In the Sen
ate, thus reversing tho procedure at 1911,
when tho bill was Introduced and passed
In the House, only to bo killed by too
many objectlonnblo provisions added to
It In tho Senate. A strong effort Is being
made by tho Child Lnbor Association to
get Senator Edwin H. Vnro to present
the bill.
Tho principal features of the measure,
as drafted, are!
Eight hours work n, day and not more
than 48 hours' work In any one week
for children less than 16 years old. All
ohltdren less than 14 years old forbidden
to work.
Night work In any occupation absolute
ly prohibited for chlldron less than 16
yenrs old.
Messengers employed In night service to
bo not less than 21 years old. Night
servlco Is to be construed as between the
hours of 10 p. m. and G a. m.
Tho street trades to bo regulated so as
to prevent tho employment In these trades
of boys less than 14 ycarsoId and girls
less than 18 years old.
Tho featuro of the bill to provent boys
from working ns messengers jit night Is
a new one. All of tho others were In
cluded In the bill that was killed In 1913.
Officials of the Pennsylvania Child Labor
Association are relying upon the powerful
Influence of Governor Brumbaugh to ob
tain the passage of the bill. Thoy assert
that 14 of the nowly-elccted Stato Sen
ators aro pledged to support the bill,
while In the House 101 members, a con
stitutional majority, aro pledged to its
passage.
Judge James TC. nnrnmn mi.Aat.11nc

Averaging Half Price on Nearly
100,000 Pair of Hose and Pieces

Women and Children
V
Advance Announcement of a Great Sale for Friday
(Women' 8 and Children's Goods on the Subway Floor, Chestnut)
(Men's Goods on the Subway Gallery, at Market Street)
This is the great Winter clearaway of all remnants and odd lots in the Lower
Price Store, bringing a great quantity of hosiery and underwear for the entire family
at absolutely the lowest prices we have ever seen goods of equal quality.
In thousands of instances the reduction is as much as two-thirds, in some
instances half and in a few instances it is about 25 per cent. The average is half
price.
The lowest priced things (and in many respects the most economical in the sale)
are the goods marked with our large yellow tickets as "seconds." These have slight
imperfections, but in no case no such imperfections as would injure their usefulness.
These "seconds" are carefully selected; there are no low qualities among any of
the goods.
Such instances as men's first quality silk hose at 25c and "seconds" of women's
fine fashioned silk hose at 50c would indicate to any shrewd buyer for thevfamily
how different this is from the ordinary bargain sale.
All in all, it is the best opportunity we know of to stock up on seasonable hosiery
and underwear at marked reductions from regular prices.
