Ab an opera, "Eugeue Ohcsln," ii i work which had no parallel in oper atic history. 'Tschalkow sky himself Hew rfestcnatrd it as an opera, hut declared that it was a series of lyric scenes. This description probably fits the composition better than any other, nut while, the story of the opera is co herent enourh, far more so than many oc (be moot famous of the Italian operas, there U nevertheless a very apparennack of .continuity about both action and music which will prevent It from ever becoming one of the world's Brest operas. ' - "Hugene Onegln" is essentially an opera. of a great symphonlat. Tschai kowsky thought invariably in the phraseology of the orchestra and throughout the work there is thematic development In the orchestra, often with a rather feeble contrapuntal' vocal part, which, at least to tbb exper loncetl listener, distracted attention from both "singing and triage action, to Jhe typlcallv TschaUtowskian orches tration, or to poignant melodies in the great solo instruments of the. orchestra, 'THIs 'was' especially the case in 'the first act. In the second and third the great composer adopted a style radically different.to that of the first, to the mani fest1 gain of the opera as a vocal and dramatic work The first act is decid edly the weakest of the three, both mu sically and dramatically. In the second there are melodic numbers for thevolces, notably the scene of the challenge to the duel, which makes a powerful close. The succeeding scene, that of a bleak river bank, upon which the- duel is fought, introduces probably the finest tenor arls of the opera, "I.ontau da me ne andaste," and in it the Composer realizes, insofar as a symphonlst 'can realize a dramatic situation, the oper atic possibilities of the scene. . To an equally great extent the same situation prevailed in the third act. As the work progressed the composer seemed to get away from the symphonic style and more to adopt that of the opera, especially the manner of the later Verdi, which, while realizing to the. full the possibilities of the orches tra as an operatic adjunct, neverthe less made the vocal parts the principal ones. The bass aria In this act, "Ad ognl eta I'amor," and the ensuing scene between OrJeglti and Tatlana are oper atic, both in style and character, to tho fullest extent, while there is no loss In the wonderful Tschalkowsky or rhestrAtion. It was a fine tribute to Tschaikowsk.v's' nowcrs that the audi- Lence remained silent after sporadic ap plause, at the close of the second act, to the orchestral postlude which closed the act, This ia strong contrast to the ap plause which completely drowned the exquisite cello quintet which closes the first act of "Othello" at its last per formance In Philadelphia. There were numerous other musical points of the opera of which space forbids discussion. . There arc few places in "Eugene Onegin" where drama takes precedence, in spite of the fact that the opera is full of dramatic situations, or rather possi bilities. The opera is not one of dra matic action for there is little action in it. It is eocologlcal, rather than melodramatic, although this condition might easily have been reversed.

Miss Muzlo was not hnppy as the love-sick Hussion maiden, although the pari.of the wife of the ancient Rus sian nobleman who still clings fondly to the dreams of her youth was admirably depleted. Not was Mr. Dp I.ura nt his best In the character of the blase man of the world who dallies with thf flame of love only nt the end lo be consumed by it. The sincerity and native humor of his own personal character, which he shows In every part which he enacts, makes such a role evidently uncongenial and henre unconvincing.

The Henry Fhipps Institute of the Universitv-of Pennsylvania "WHAT IS PHILADELPHIA going to do about it?" Owen J. t Roberts asked at a luncheon in the Bellcvue-Stratford, April 1 . 10, after hearing America's leading tuberculosis experts testi- . - fying of the value of The Phipps. Institute to the country's public" health, "andthe inconceivability of the Institute's being allowed to. close May 1 because its treasury would" be empty then. DR. WILLIAM H. WELCH, "father" of modern scientific medicine in the United States, had said: We have had many meetings in Philadelphia of our Advisory Council and t think there is not a member of it who does not seize eagerly the opportunity of coming here. We all go away inspired by what we have heard and what we have seen at these meetings. This morning at our business meeting we heard the story told fit the organization and the work of thij Clinic for delicate school children.- It is perfectly obvious that not only is there a very important work being done, but work is being done in a way that will serve as an ekample for others, for the extension of the same under taking in other parts of the city, state and throughout the country. Then again, , exactly what is the part that is played by inheritance in the development of tuberculosis? Now I venture to say that there is going on in The P,hipps Institute, under particularly advantageous conditions, a research of the utmost significance for a better understanding of the inheritable, constitutional factors of the disease. 9 I '-wonder if UOll who are living in Philadelphia realize what you have? " Standing off as I have,' I feel that The Ihipps Institute has been one of the great directing forces in the tuberculosis campaign. You have it here in Philadelphia. It brings credit ; it brings renown to your city, and is some thing of .which the city should be proud. A' financial crisis s Jlor(l uPn The Phipps Institute. Mr. Phipps generously provided for the Institute, but it was understood from the first he was not contemplating a permanent endowment. The Institute's situation is pre cisely one we are about to face at the Johns Hopkins University of Balti more, where Mr. Phipps very generously built the Phipps Psychiatric Clinic and maintained it on terms almost identical. We do not propose to let our Phipps Psychiatric Clinic close, and it is incon ceivable that Philadelphia will allow her Phipps Institute to be closed. I wish that Dr. Flexficr, wno is a member of the Rockefeller Foundation, and could have spoken with authority, might have been here today. I may say this as one who is familiar with the foundation policy. The Rocke feller Foundation feels that what it is able to contribute for the further ance of medical research should be concentrated in the work of the Rocke feller Institute for Medical Research in New York. I do not think that it is to be expected that tho Foundation will provide for research in this field . of medicine outside of the splendid Institute which they are contributing so generously to in New York. Ido feel that you have here going concern, a splendid institute, doing fine work, one which brings great reputation to the City of Philadelphia, to the University of FenriSylvania one which should make, the strongest possible appeal topublic-Bpirited citizens here. ilfa Cheek? .
