It. alllieiiKh as a whole it is net one
!3thi irreat piist-Verdlnn compositions.
The orchestration Is striking, but the
ffjet of the whole opera is that of n
mneer who died before he had en
ilfeiV found himself, which is prob preb
Jblthe right one. There Is much of
the later Verdi, some of Wagner and
wme of the Moite of -Meflstofcle" Ir.
ft especially in the orchestration, but it
Is' original, if perhaps unformed.
The melodies nrc especially lovely.
They are original, even if they have net
the poignancy of Verdi and of I'uc
tlnl at their best, although they de
net nlnns rarry en the dramatic
iHuatlens! Catalnnl has the tendency
te change from n miner key in which
irent emotion is depleted into the
Mrallel major, thus creating n change
In the emotional content where the
dramatic situation remains unchanged.
The erk of the members of the
cast wis er.v geed. As has been snld,
the roles make no great dramatic de
mands and (lie vocal requirements arc
mostly lyric, in which the enst of last
tuning especially excels. There is i
curious Italian cast te the libretto,
dftplte the Teutonic story.
In one point the opera is fully the
eqiinl of any work of the kind for a
preat many years, and thnt is the ballet
muS'ie. Only "f.a (ilacenda" ap
proaches H in the beauty of this phase,
tthlch is f.ir mere French than Italian.
Ileih the ballets of the second anil

in a "ay constitute the finest music of
the opera.

"ORIGINAL" MESSIAH SUNG
Rehearsal Copied After the Firat
One Presented at Musical Act Club
The spirit of Christmastldc se en
tered the Musical Art Club.. en Han
stead street above eighteenth street,
last night that Handel himself reap
peared In quaint and courtly costume
te reliearxe his own chorus in his
famous "Messiah."
Oh, no, it was net Herbert J. Tily
who were a long wig nnd with baton
carefully poised In his nimble digits led
ills bedecked men and begewncd dam
sels through the intricacies of his mighty
work.
Handel admired his work and in his
Ctcrmati accent said he, It was n great
work, for he also said se. He care
fully explained te his distinguished
audience that any faults that might nn
made were net his but that of the
chorus or pianist. Mr. Dander (William
Slivane Thunder). '
Verily it was n unique setting. The
large meeting room of the club had
ecen completely transformed into n
f.v
amer-
phescs it wns easy te carry the mind1
back a few of the ages that had rolled
by and live again in spirit with the
great composer.
The entire chorus wns nlse dressed
In powdered wigs, the women with their
curls hanging coyly ever the neck, and
tJie men with their ribbons and bow),
nr.d the old panniers nnd court cos
tumes were colorful indeed.
The entire "Messiah" was net sung,
hut mnny were the excerpts chosen
from the most beautiful parts. Of
course, the fnmeus Hallelujah Chorus
was given, and the room rang te the
familiar strains of rejoicing. The cho che
rril work was excellent, the most diffi
cult numbers being given without n
hitch : nnd while the room wns a littl
tee small te enable one te get the full
effect, nevertheless the ensemble wis
pleasing in every respect.
The soloists hnd no ensv time of It,
either. With Mr. Thunder as accom
panist, the different recitals and nrias
were well rendered. The soloists In
cluded Elsa Lyens Cook. Kthel Hlghter
Wilsen, Hessie Phillips Yarnall, Edny
fed Lewis nnd Jehn VandorMeot.
The performance was supposed te be
a replica of a rehearsnl of the cnerus
under Hnndel in the presence of the
King just before the first public produc
tion in Dublin. The invitations te the
private hearing were sent out by Han
del for September 12. 1741,

in I922
KiRE are pictured a small portion of the buildings securing first
mortgage bend issues underwritten by S. W. Straus &. Ce. in
1922. These leans aggregate a sum of $124,740,000, and the build
ings securing them, located in 35 cities in 19 different states from the
Atlantic te the Pacific, represent a large part of the better class of the
nation's new building construction in 1922. Of this sum, nearly all
represents new construction te relieve the building shortage. Nene
of it represents renewals.
The fact that we are able te purchase and sell se large a volume of
investments, at retail, te our own clients, shows that mortgage funds
sufficient te relieve the building shortage can readily be raised in
the mortgage market without artificial aid, provided
1. That the mortgage be divided into bends,
which thus can be sold te many individual
investors, scattered all ever the world ;
2. That the lean be amortized or paid down,
month by month, from the earnings of the
property.
These are two of the fundamental principles of the STRAUS
PLAN, originated by us and new widely imitated, which protects
every bend we sell and which is responsible for the record of this
Heuse seen te become 41 years without less te any investor.
We new have en hand, for immediate delivery or January reser
vation, a wide variety of sound first mortgage serial bends, safe
guarded under the STRAUS PLAN, in $1000, S500, and $100
denominations, netting 6 and 62. Included in the list are a num
ber of issues secured by some of the properties here illustrated.
We advise immediate action, se as te obtain just the Lends and
maturities you most desire, and suggest that you write for
