HADLEYDAYAT MATINEE MUSICAL it,,. , . ,- . -r -,- Tillpil lite J.ne music nmui: ui vu,u.-w ,... --- Metropolitan Opera Houe to its limit Jsat evening, his first npjienriir.ee ot tho season In Philadelphia being in Donizetti's "L'EUsir d'Amore." The great tenor was In excel'ent nhape vo cally and while perhaps he has not the physical slimncss of a youthful Italian peasant, his marvelous voice and the splendid manner iu which he can do all comedv parts, but that of Ncinorino in particular, made his interpretation ot tho character a noteworthy oue. Besides being a great singer, Laruso Ja a really line actor and shows this quality to tho best advantage In the comedy parts. The role of Nernttriun gives ample opportunity for a limitless display of this qunlity, besides being one of the great tenor roles of the oper atic stage from a purely voenl stand point. Naturalh. the greatest point of the opera was the rendition of the romance ''Una Turtiva Lagrima" in the last net, when the composer, well huowiug his public, has thoughtfully cleared the stage of every other character iu order that the tenor might have a clear field. However, with Caruso singing the ex quisite melodv as he does, no such aiil is ever needed. The audience tried hard for an encore and Mr. Caruso, Miss Garrison, Mr. Fnpi and the orchestra made several false starls before the action was allowed to proceed. Mabel Oarrison was the Adina of the opera and was adequate in voice quality, musiclanly in her singiug and charming in appearance. A little more volume of tone at times might have been desirable, but she left nothing to be desired from the standpoint or beauty of tone,, intelligence of singing and her manner of nctiug a part full of cnprlce. and, withal, modest, yhe was "Specially fine in the duet with the Doctor "Quanto nmnrc" in tho third act and fang all her arias with taste nnd grace. ,,,,., Mr, De Luca also made his first ap pearance of the season as Sergeant Bel core, and gave a repetition of bis ud- mirable presentation of the charnct' r last season. He, too, is a comedian of parts, and both sang and acted well. The Doctor Dulcamara was Pompilio Malatesta, who is a capital actor, al though a heavier voice would haie been acceptable in piaces, especially in the great buffo song iu the first act, "t'ditf t'ditc, o Rustici." He was best in the two big duets, the one with Kcmo rlno in the second net. "Obb'igato, ah. si obuligato." and the other already mentioned with Aldina in the third m-r. Mary Ellis was also excellent iu the smaller part of Ciiannctta. Speaking of comedy, every one cu NEKD HEM' Ol ANY KIND? Thone Walnut SOuO .Idl.

In the cello group .Mr. Dudley showed by bin work that lie thoroughly understands the possibilities and limitation of this beautiful inslru menl. The cello part cry properly and effectively i1 melodic almost throughout and carries out well the popularly tic ocpted conception of the esthetic quail -tics of the flowers named. Tho "Prayer" Is naturally in the composer's most serious vein, nnd Is u fine work, and It seemed like one that would most admirably bear orchestra tion. The trio Is a flue work, nnd should be better known to the chamber music plajcrs of the country. 'yVHE leading authorities on power transmission recommend the use of Vim Leather Belting. E. !'. HOUGHTON & CO. ' 240 W. Someret Street Philadelphia The Matinee Muicnl Club yesterday afternoon presented Herry K. lladlev. one of the foremost composers of the Dulled States, at their regular meeting at the Bellevuo-Stratford. The pro gram was made up entirely of works by Mr. lladley, who was assisted by Tnea Barber, boprano (in private life Mrs. lladley) ; Arthur Hndlcy, 'cellist, a brother of the composer and long a member of the Boston Symphony Or chestra, aiid AV. '. Kraft, violinist. Mr. Kraft was also formerly n member of the Boston Orchestra. The first result of this aggregation of talect was that as large an audience as could be accommodated in the ball room of tho Bellevue was present and another was that they heard a most at tractive program. It began with Mr. Iladley's cantata for women's voiers, entitled "A Legend of Grenada," which was given by the chorus of the Matinee Musical Club, conducted by Helen Pulaski Innes, and wStb Eolo parts taken by Ethel Niehammer, coprnuo, and Donald Bedding, baritone. Inci dental solos in the cantata wore also sung by Miss Itnchel Troost and Mrs. Lester Leidy. The chorus sang well and showed the results of the careful training they hao received from Mrs. luues. Immediately after the cantata Mrs. d'arrigucs. president of the club, an nounced that the anuuui prize offered by the club for the best cantata for womeu's voices had been awarded yes terday morning to Carl Busch, conduc tor of the Kansas City Orchestra, for his composition "Pan s l''lute."

TERMS You may own one for a par tial payment made at the time you select the instrument you want. There is no set rule as to payments. Some buy for cash. Others, who can well afford to buy for cash, take the partial-payment plan ; they feel that this accommodation is a worth-whilo privilege. Some dispose of the cost with a few large payments. Others make the payments small, and spread them out. The story of the NEW EDISON is so far outdone by its actual performance that we must ask you to come to Wanamaker's, to the EDISON shop, to hear it tell its own wonderful story. ' A Veritable Re-Creation To have the NEW EDISON in your home is to have the voices of great artists, the playing of great artists, at your call. For the NEW EDISON Re creates the Voice, Ro-Creates the instrument, and presents it to you in its flawless perfection. Before this was accomplished by Edison it was looked upon as a dream. It would have been a miracle had it been brought about. Now that it has been accomplished, it has ceased to bo regarde'd as a miracle that's a way we moderns have. BUT It ia none the leaa miraculous. And those who regard these Re-Creations in their true light will reap the joys and benefits that are in them for the truly appreciative. ', Period Cabinets For some years phonographs have been offered in period cabinets, but only at prohibitive prices. "Why not put all EdUon phonographs into period cases," said Mr, Edison, "and let every ono have the best therb is in cabinet design?" Now, therefore, all New E"dlsons (with the excep tion of two models for special uses) are encased in period cabinets. Plenty of Re-Creations Edison Ice-Creations of living voices and of instru "mental playing aro here in ample quantity and down-to-the-minute. (1a ZSdisan PfcmiesTapti flhva, SeMeUt jrioe.
