CARUSO COMES BACK;
VOICE GOLDEN AGAIN
His Reburnishcd Notes Shino
Through Revival of Verdi's
"Masked Ball"
Mr. Enrico Cnnno, who received last
night nt tho Metropolitan Opera House,
mado "melodloui moan" as Shelley
phrnse It not (what you would expect
nfter henrlng his husky endeavors In
"II Trovntoro") that ho was losing his
voice, but that "lie was singing badly the
rolo ot Itlccardo, his ringing vocallsm In
which li ono of tho half dozen reasons
for occasional revival of Verdi's "Un
Ilallo In Maschern." His misgivings tho
tenor confided with pnlhetlo shrugs and
much affecting dumb-play In display of
a disobedient "pomum Adonis," nn ap
parently constricted trachea nnd a
laryngeal laxity that wns distressing to
him. He confided them to tho Invaluable
Mr. William J. Guard, who, ns well ns
penning adjectives nbout tho singers, Is
ever nnd nnon called upon to explain
their cotds before tho curtain nnd to offer
fotnee In such tristful moments ns that
last evening. Mr. Guard told him to "go
to" or substantially thnt nnd then con
veyed tho tidings to tho assembled critics
In the pressroom, or such of them ns are
devoted to tho Lady Nicotine, as well ns
the Muso of Song.
Mr. Guard said Mr. Caruso was singing
all right. Of course, ho Is paid to do
something llko that. Hut lie Is rather
frank at proper times nnd docs not try
to deceive tho critics with anything moro
deadly than adjectives. Mr. Guard spoke
sooth. Ills distinguished colleague of tho
Metropolitan Grand Opera Company has
no cause for worry. Nothing Is wrong
with his tubes or his pipes. Ills notes nro
gold again. They are fair barter for the
gold of Uncle Sam, which wns exchanged
last night for them. A goodly store of
eagles nnd hnlf-dlttos was turned In, for
tho "houso" wns almost "capacity."
Tho sour notes and coarsened tones of
"II Trovntoro" nro forglcn. Oporngoers
nro reassured that Mr. Caruso can sing.
Let Mr. Caruso bo himself assured If he
has any lingering doubts after what tho
papers say this morning. This reporter
of musical functions has not read them,
but is willing to wager on tho nlllrmatlvo
consensus.
As for tho Verdlan opera, It had all tho
Interest of Italian opera of tho old school.
Tho locale seemed to hover between
tho Swedish city of tho later nilddlo ages,
In which tho plot was originally laid, and

Massachusetts Bay of Colonial times, to
which the notion wns transferred when
political reasons made the censors ban
tho work ni originally written. For thero
li an assassination In It nnd assassina
tions set a bad object lesson to anient pa
triots In tho days of unrest during which
Verdi wroto his opera. What Is virtually
tho Covcnt Garden version' was used, and
It relieved tho stngo of tho palpable ab
surdities of tho changed locntlon. Tho
reason for tho absurdity Is not thnt the
sccno wns changed to Massachusetts, on
tho stern coasts of which balls were In
congruous, but because tho chnnge, ns
hnstlly tnado by Sominn. Verdi's librettist,
was not a complete transference of locale
nnd ntmospherc. It Is hypercritical to
say that composer nnd librettist were
guilty of anachronism on the score that
balls wero unknown In Colonial Massa
chusetts, ns Is often charged by histori
cally uninformed persons. As a matter of
proof they may bn referred to that real
New Englandcr, Nathaniel Hawthorne,
who wroto a story In his "Legcndp of
tho Province House" nbout a Governor's
Hall, precisely what Somma used In his
book for Verdi.
Mr. Caruso had good support. Amato
was tho Ilenato, who Is chief of tho con
spirators; Mclanlo ICurt the Amelia, who
causes the trouble through her good looks
and her trust In potions prepared by
witches; Mnrla Ducheno tho brewer of
spells ns potent ns thoso of tho Gllbcrtlan
John Wellington Wells, and Giorgio Po
lacco, tho rhythmically Illuminative con
ductor of tho pronouncedly Verdlan melo
dies of tho composer's enrly period, In
which tune counted for nil.
Tho oulstnndlng artistic flguro ot the

Amnio, who sang with faultless technique

U of P. Daily Publication Is
Charged With Lack of Ag
gressive Leadership
The Pcnnsylvnnlftti, tho tinderirrnrtuatfl
dnlly newspaper of tho University ot
Ponnsylvnnln, Is taken to task In rather
vlfrorous editorial fashion by tho ncd nnd
ntuo, the Illustrated monthly publication,
for Its falturo to bo a real, nssresslve
leader of University thought and nctlon,
Instead of a mere chronicle of events.
Here are some of the "lost opportune
ties" which the ned and Dluo thinks tho
Pcnnsylvanlan should have taken up and
settled:
First The problems of the present foot
ball season.
Second. Tho absurd story printed, by
"sensation monffcr newspapers" of "hti(?e
dnmane and Rcneral lawlessness" In tho
poster flRlit, etc.
Third. Putting the cost of Athletic As
sociation books on tho tuttlon bills.
Fourth. Itescntlns the action of the
Athletic Association In withdrawing the
Pcnnsylvnnlnn'11 complimentary seats In
retaliation for Its editorial on the football
situation.
Fifth. The question of the "amateur
athlete."
"Tho nod and Blue believes," remarks
tho editor, "that a colleKo dnlly paper
should be moro than a mcro chronicle.
The daily nlone possesses tho power of
drlvltiR to a finish those thlncs which It
advocate'). Punch Howl nnd lied and
Uluo can point out editorially vnrloiit!
phases of University life and urgo Im
provements, but to the Pcnnsylvanlan be

The Gift That Above Everything Else Will
Bring the Spirit of Christmas
Have you a child? Music in the home brings to the children
the greatest gift of all the gift of music, the influence of which has
no limit.
You, who have forgotten how to play, the Cunningham Player
Piano will fulfill every desire. It will bring to you more real pleasure
lasting pleasure than you could obtain by any other means. Why
deprive yourself?
A Cunningham Made Player-Piano, $450
It took years of study and careful analysis before we felt we could
construct a Player-Piano with Cunningham standards for $430 and
guarantee it for seven years.
But the same care and labor are used in the construction of this
instrument at $450 as in our more expensive instruments, and you
would have to pay at least $600 if you were buying the same grade of
instrument from a dealer instead of the manufacturer.
If you have a silent piano, we will take it in exchange for any of
our Player-Pianos, allowing you full value.
