The Metropolitan Opera IIouso this tlmo
tne cene of the activities of the society,
formed by his associates of many years
standing to keep Brocn the memory of
Siegfried Behrcn. Tho production marked
an artistic advance. It was mado under
direction of John Curtis and was tho 34th
opra In English to bo written down to
ma managerial credit.
Surely In a whole cltyful thero should
be an ample audience for such n romantic
and tuneful work. Last night's "houso"
Could hardly bo called scant, absolute!,
but It certainly did not "comfit li"
largely as tho meilta of tho cnterprlne.
which Is strictly non-commercl.il, de
served. Possibly only Mnhlor symphonies
and Metropolitan Opera can "draw a
crtAvd" here.
Ther nature of tho plot Is fairly divulged
lit th6 alternatlvo titles of "Czar and
Carpenter" and "Tho Two Peters." It
will bo familiar to those of tho older
generation who wero taught out ot
McOuffey's Third Reader. Tho Idea
wag used by Boullly, Gretry and other
composers. Lortzlng took as, tho basis of
his libretto n onc-tlmo favorite German
farco, 'Tho Mayor of Saardam, or Prlnco
and" Carpenter." Tho third net, however,
was entirely original with him. Ho him
self sang tho buffo rolo when tho work
Was first Rlen December 22, 1817. Ho I
was forced to piece out tho meagre stl- '
ponds awarded coriposers of his day In
tho German "Klelmitaatcrel" opera houses
by taking a turn at song and corned'. It
Jd of record that his honorarium for "Czar '
and Carpenter" was what now amounts to
ttO. Still, that was moro than Schubert
received for some of his Immortal lleder. i
Previous to Its January. 1910. nroduc-

whom It wns, a favorite until IlussU got
