Wizard and Sorcerer
Last night, for tho first lime In many
Jcnrs, "Tho Sorcerer," a comic opera In
two hcts, by W. S. Ollbcrt nnd Arthur
Hulllvnii, was sung nt tho Metropolitan
with tho enst ns follows:
Sir Marmnduko Herbert Waterous
Alexis, hi" son Arthur Aldrldgo
Dr. Daly, vicar of riovcrlclgh,
, , Arthur Cunningham
John Wellington Wells, of J. W. Wells &
.,U., family sorcerers Mr. Hopper

llercu ra, a page .Mlea May Arnold
Setting: iho garden of Sir Marmaduke.
"Sho Is engaged to bo nnd so." Tho Vicnr.
Again nnd ngnln, us .Mr. Cunningham
sang tho nbovo lino last night, tho holi
day nudleneo which heard him shouted
Joyous shouts. Why, In tho name of
nil that Is scnilhle? Thcro Is nothing to
tho line, ll pnsaes In dnlly conversation
without remark: It Indicates only a nr
donablo vagueness In tho mind of tho
speaker concerning a very Important ac
cident ln tho llfo of another person: It
Is not funny: It Is not poetic. It la not
musical. Yot tho nudleneo laughod, and
that circumstance Is hereby Called to th?
earnest attention of nil writers of musical
comedy now exercising their undeniable
right of trying out their tnlents on tho
American public I3ccauso behind that
lino aro two vastly Interesting personali
ties; tho wlnnril known ns W. 8. Ollbcrt
nnd tho sorcerer, Arthur flulllvnn. Tho
transmutation of that Blmpto lino Into an
Instrument for tho provocation of clean
and heartfelt laughter Is tho symbol of
their wholo prosperity In these forty-odd
yenrs of their work.
It Is almost fortuitous that this line
embodies tho plot of "Tho Sorcerer."
Alexin, son of Sir Mnrmaduke. Is Im
pressed with tho power ot love; ho would
hno pcoplo lovo icgnrdloss of wealth,
education, social distinctions, hnpplness,
nge, color, or previous condition of ser
vitude. To accomplish this high Idenl, ho
employs tho services of ono who Intro
duces himself thus:
Mv naina Is John Wellington Wells,
I'm a dealer In magic and spells,
with great success. But (nlns for re
formers!) somo of tho matches turn out
qulto absurdly, nnd (nlas for this
world!) somo of tho lovo Is not re
ntilted. So tho magician descends through
a convenient trapdoor nnd all ends hap
pily. "So-and-so," distressing creature,
becomes the right "parti" in tho end.
To exploit fills philosophical badinage.
Do Wolf Hopper and his truly excellent
fellow -workers vvero bound to become ns
lightly trilling, as clover, ns gracious and
ns filvnlous na tho plcco Itself. Thev
succeeded. Miss Caldwell, mobile of fnco
and graceful of gesture was splendidly
ahsuitlns tho mnldcn infatuated with the
Vicar Who (Mr. Arthur Cunningham)
wns In turn delightful, especially in his
singing of "Ah mo! I was a valiant cur
ato then." Miss Patterson, coloratura
and all, was moro lovely than In any pre
vious performance t'nese two weeks. Mls
McComb, Mr, Aldrldge nnd Mr. Waterous
and the chorus wero those rarities of mu
sical comedy singing actors.
And Mr. Hopper ! Ho recited "Cnsev
at the Hat." nt last, and apologized for
bringing Mr. Krnest Thayer Into con
Junction with tho greater stais of tho
evening. But he didn't recite half so
well as he played His fnkcr-innglclnn,
clad first In sntnnlc red relief, anil In
remorseful black at tho end, was an
oovlous, but so fantastically nnd naively
obvious, oharacterlzntlon. Ills lines, t'ne
Impossible lines of Gilbert, he rattled off
to their popular tune, with gusto and
facility. "Whenever he thought of a
particularly unspeakable line," said Mr.
Hoppor, "ho gave It to tho low come
dian." As a low comedian, then, Mr.
Hopper Is something high and rare and
lino.
A year and moro arter tho American
premiere, Philadelphia Is to hear Montr--mezzl's
opera, "Tho I.ovo of tho Thrco
Kings." As In tho case of "Boris
Godunoff," and as In tho case of no other
opera this season, the writer of these
comments on music dcp.utB from n jus
tifiable rulo of not advising pilgrimages
to any musical shrine. livery music lover
In Philadelphia should be at the Metro
politan next Tuesday evening.
Montcmczzi
Tha press department of tho Metropoli
tan Opera Company "obliges" with a
copy of the announcement sent out to
Now York papers heforo the premiere.
In that announcement can bo found tho
following Interesting statements:
As fnr the music, while MontemezzI Is not
considered a genius, serlouH critics among
lils countrvmt.il regard him as n compoeor
of mora than ordinary glfte, who perhaps
l.ns not fully "found hlintelf." Ills treat
ment of "L'Amoro del Tre Ro" Is Bald
to chow tho combined lntluenco of Wagner
and tho lato Verdi.
Tho first statement Is of a piece with
tho Metropolitan's truly noblo typo of
modesty. Tho revlows of tho opera,
which can bo recalled, gave MontemezzI
moro prnlso than hns fallen to tho lot
of Verdi or Puccini In many years. As
for tho second statement, It sceniB to be
tho habit of young Itallnn composers,
who are not as Giordano Is, to comblno
tho Influence of Wagner with that of tho
later Verdi. "Later" signifies In this
connection tho composer of tho tragic
masterpiece, "Otello," and of the comic
masterpiece, "Knlstaff." How true tho
jharncterlzatlon of Montcmozzl Is will
nppear after the opera has been heard
hero; reading a score In which tho very
drama Is translated into orchestral colors
Is at best nn unsatisfactory thing.

a, Itoman dramatist, Hem Benelll, well
enough known In Italy beforo Montcmczzi
took up ihe present work for opera. Tho
play ot Benelll Is much longer than tho
libretto. It has been cut, but fortunately
something of the beauty of tho original
still lingers. Tho threo kings nro Archl
bnldo, whom nge and blindness havo
foiced Into retirement! his son, Mnn
frcdo, who rules over Altura nnd Avltoj
nn AltUrlnn prince, who has been des
poiled of his heritage by tho barbaric In
vasions of tho othor two. Tho l'rlnccsa
Flora, also of Altura, Is their lovo. She
has been pledged to Avlto, but tho
triumphant Mnnfrcdo has mado her his
wife. It In not necessary to detail tho
dramatic progress ot tho plav: merely to
rend It Is to experience something strnngo
nnd unusual a poetic fervor and Inten
sity mnrvelously united to persuasive nnd
plauslblo drama. The very stago direc
tions thrill with n passion which la
foreign to our scene: nnd even In ths
halting Hnsllsh translation of tho Bceno
between Avlto nnd Flora thoro Is a
beauty which Is wonderfully potent nnd
moving.

"Whnt do I think of motion pictures?
Don't get me Btnrled on a question llko
that," exclaimed Mario Dressier, "or I
shall never know when to stop. I'm mad
nbout tho 'movies' from every point of
view. I lovo to go to them nnd I lovo
to act ln them. I'vo only been In ono
plcturo so fnr, "Mile's Punctured Ro
mance,' but horcaftcr I am going to de
vote my time for flvo months of the year
to them, from May to October. Last sum
mer out in California I worked for threo
wholo months In a motion picture studio
Just to perfect myself in all tho various
departments of the business, and now I
flatter myself that I know tho technical
sldo of tho business from tho ground up.
When I finish my tour In 'A Mix Up' ln
May I'm going to start at work In earn
est In this now field. No, for heaven's
sake, don't think I'm going to leavo the
stngc. Not a bit of It. I lovo acting too
much. You couldn't drlvo Llttlp Mnrle
oft tho stage with n stick, for I'm Just
as enamoied of my art as over. Ilut why
can't I have two nrts? That's what I'd
like to know. Tho ono can only glvo n
greater zest to the other. And then re
member this also: For every person who
sees Mario Dressier as an actress thero
will be a thousand who will seo Mnrir
Dressier ns a motion plcturo star. I am
organizing my own compnny, which Is to
bo called 'Tho Mario Die.ssler Rrand,'
and I'm going to glvo tho public a chnncn
to sco mo this summer In a new series of
'Mother Goose's heroines.
