SAN CARLO GIVES VERDI'S "AIDA" FINELY Cast Headed by Marie nappeld Dees Excellent Werk An inspiring performance of "Alda" was given by the San Carle Grand Opera Company nt the Metropolitan last evening. The merits of the per formance ns a whole were great, for net only did the singers de fine work, but equally creditable was that of Carle Porenl, the conductor, who In fused into both singers nnd Instru mentalists an enthusiasm that kept them up te highest pitch. The btage management was also ad mirably handled In the using of the chorus and supernumeraries te the very best advantage, notably In the return festivities of the victorious llndamcs. Even the ballet was frequently ap plauded for the innovations Introduced, and Sylvia Tell, who gave n typical Egyptian dance, la also deserving of much praise. The largest audience thus fnr was prcwjnt and no cast of great artiste ever received mere cordial commendation. All the singers were recalled frequently after each act, nnd when they brought out with them Director Perenl nt the end of the second act, the outburst was most enthusiastic. Marie Kappeld's "Alda" Is familial te Philadelphia opera-goers, nnd her pinging of the role of the Ethiopian Princess last evening was excellent.
