Settings and Singers
Them wns only one unhappy feature of
this splendid occasion, and It wns one to
which, by long uie, most patrons of tho
Metropolitan have accustomed themselves
the settings. Just when tho Metropolitan
will discover that nn entirely new and
wonderful nit of stage picturing lias been
developed ivithln recent years Is some
thing no one may daro to predict. So far
tho New York company is as Innocent of
"Inscenlerung" as It Is Ignorant of "styll
zatlon" In pioductlou. it Is using scenery
which would not pass In a thlid-iate Con
tinental house. And all the while the
talents of Josef I'rban are being spent
on Kdward Sheldon and the Follies. It
Is absurd. ,, , ,
But when that reservation has been
made, nothing hut praise remains. In tho
order of Importance one can praise tho
slnglng-nctors, the music and Its con
ductor, nnd tho overpowering drama to
which nil weio devoted, or the singer.

LEPaER---PHTTrABF,T;PTrTy. WEDNESDAY. MAIt'OH
Tork ha has tamed an eicellent repute.
His voice Is robust and pleasing, not al
ways clear In production, but sturdy nnd
colorful nnd rich with dramatic expres
sion In the Ivrle paaslon of the second
act he sang with restrained and persuas
ive emotion tho throbbing appeal of
Avlto, and through the play made of the
I rlnco a credible, skilfully imagined par
sonage. So close a parallel to this was
the work of Mr. Amato as Manfredo that
the two characters seemed to merge In
the end, ns they properly should In the
meaning of the play, and lo stand to
gether In a strange and tragic Unity.
Against them stood the Flora of Miss
Borl. done with such bitter Justness, such
beauty h.i to be heartbreaking, and thn
great Arrhlhaldo of Adamo Dldur, done
with uch art an to be appalling and
nnnlly exalting. For Blnglng and acting
the cast jf "Pagllaccl" aloho stands with
this one; for Imprcsalvenest of character
isation, Mr. Dldur's own Boris must be
brought Into comparison.
The Music
As the brilliant Toscaulnl revealed the
scote rt Mont?mezzl'8 opera last night,
with all the Intuitive power always at his
command, the auditors (those who realty
listened) wero given it passing gllmpso
into the future of Italian opera. That In
this future Montcmezzl wilt share largely
may pass without doubt. Almost ns
srorntul ns Moussorgsky of the "sot
pieces" demanded by the older conven
tion, Monteniczzl can achieve lyric In
tensity in his brief nnd nervous melodic
Hue, and can build drama Into his music
ns I'urcinl never ventured to build It. Tho
three brief acts of this opera arc fulfilled
of thought and emotion, tho climaxes of
passion arc reared one on tho other, and
the inuslo whloh serves now ns their sub
structure, now ns their very mateilal,
unfolds and progresses with astounding
fertility of Imagination and Invention. In
the first act It seems that the composer
has abolished the nrtlst, and the oxuher
ant orchestration makes of that act a
s mphonlc poem Into which an opera has
been unhappily fused. The two later
acts aro more Just.
Strange harmonics there are, and or
chestral accompaniments which seem u,
disperse, rather than concentrate, feel
ing nt tho moment. But they am even
tually synthesized, nnd tho music, maugrt)
Its defects. Is nlmost a miracle, a score
In which not ono bar Is without Its proper
Interest and effect.
The Play
Of "Tho Lovo of the Three Kings," as
Benetll wrote It, something was said In
these columns before this production. Tho
unusual quality of the plot and the raro
beauty of the poetry have been noted.
But nothing could have prepared one for
tho majestic and dazzling effect of the
play as It was produced. The lover nnd
the beloved, nnd beyond them tho domi
nant figure of pride and frailty, of the
aged King, torn with the last vestige of
passion, were such as to daze the Imagi
nation, to make tho tragedy seem not of
the stuge, but somehow of the eternal es
sence of tragedy Itself. It left those who
followed It bewildered with Its cruel
beauty, mournful, almost Inconsolable, yet
Btrengthoned nnd made clean of smaller
passions and of smaller fears.

BAN ON LIQUOR AT CITY CLUB
WILL NOT WORRY MEMBERS
Secretary William Alexander Presents Statistics Showing
That in 1914 But $217.79 Was Spent for
Drinks, Soft and Otherwise.
If any one should tell you that the
average number of men to take alcoholic
drinks In a day at one of Philadelphia's
largest social clubs Is three, you would

drinks at the club during the year 191J.
This amount Includes soft drinks, which
at a conservative estimate amounted to
a half of the total drink consumption.
So approximately cents a day was
expended for alcoholic drinks. Th a

cents per bottle or two cocktails at 15
cents each, with other drinks In propor-
""You see. the Bbolltlon of the liquor

Mr Alexander today, with a smile "In
fact. It will hardly be noticed. I may
even Bay that It will work a benefit and

prominent Phtladelphlan walked Into my
