Ihe Amusing Possibilities of Oratorio in Costume Rival the Median! Miracle Plays. GOSSIP FEOll LOSDOVS FOIEES. Vtwt sad Ccaatnt of Gucnl Huicsl Interest Pun gently Puignjbtd. The week of light opera at the Grand Opera House by the Dnff troupe has beea exceptionally meritorious both as to matter and manner. It is a pity that such names as Francis WiUon, De "Wolf Hopper, Aron ton or "Casino" should be able to draw to their farcical and spectacular shows consid erably larger houses in Pittsburg than were present last week to hear these legitimate comedy-opera persormances. "Tec Red Hussar" is by no means a great or a profoundly original work, but it is an exceptionally pleasing specimen of its class. Mr. Edward Solomon here shows in inanv ways a decided improvement over his earlier success, "Billee Taylor." There is more musical pabulum in the first act of the "Hussar" than in the whole of "Paul Jones," to cite a claring instance of misplaced popularity. Solomon's work manship in general is good; there are well constructed ensembles and broadly written choruses that bespeak the craftsman's hand. The duet, "How d'ye Do," is an exceed ingly happy effort, both in conception and execution, quite worthy o Gilbert and Sulli van at their best. Excepting the regimental song, "Steady, Boys, Steady," however, there is a lack of melodic invention and Spontaneity that reveals Solomon's chief de ficiency tor this form of composition. Sight here is one of the leading qualities in which Alfred Celiier's "Dorothy" sur passes the former work. "Dorothy" is full of graceful, fluent melody. It has, more over, the great merit of individuality; there is a certain demure, pastoral character, which the composer has succeeded in main taining admirably throughout the score. It is very English, this opera like its pretty, old-fashioned name and what could be pleasanter in such a work than that same rural anglicism? Celiier's scoring is espe cially clever and dainty, nor are there lack ing many instanced of good musicianship in concerted work and finales. The performance of this troure deserves particular credit for keeping pretty faith fully to the book and score and within the lea gitimjte bounds o respectable musical com edy. That is a great point in these degener ate days. The very unusual size and ef ficiency ot the chorus, too, merits cordial recognition. Conductor Julian Edward and the local players dis about all that could be expected with the score nnder the present system of no rehearsals and every man for himself. Miss Marie Tempest is certainly one of the best comic opera singers on the stage to-day. She, too, has the great merit of individual ity; her methods are refined, but sure, and she speedily captures her audience without Laving to stoop to it. Miss Tempest s.ings .remarkably well, moreover; her voice, while not large, is distinctly pleasing in quality and is under good control. Mr. Bassett, after his grand opera experience, found this music like child's play and thereby gained an ease and freedom in both singing and acting which in harder roles he frequently lacked. Most of his wort was thoronghly admirable of the kind. Miss Snyder and Mr. McLaughlin did some fairly good sing ing, while Mr. John A. Mackay was ex ceedingly funny and original along the low comedy line. A Discussion on Costuming. An amusing non sequitur is perpetrated by the American Musician, which lay down the self-evident proposition that the recent concert performance of "Parsifal" in JJewYork was less effective than-if the work had been given all the dramatic ac cessories, and offers this argument for the position: "Kundry represents Mary Mag dalen, and the title role is typical of the Savior. How ridicnlous it is, therefore, to see the latter represented on the stage by a clean-shaven man in a clawhammer coat, and the former dressed in the latest Parisian costume with bustle and bang at tachments." How much worse than ridiculous it is to attempt a stage representation of the Savior and His associates, with traditional costumes and all, was one of the things that Mr. Salmi Morse found out as the net result of bis ill-advised "Passion Play" experiment some years ago. The full 'dramatic per formance or "Parsifal" would hardly be permissible even at Bayreuth, if the roles were in lact identical with, instead of being very remotely "typical" of, the personages that all Christendom reveres. Nor does Editor Quigg stop here; he pro ceeds: "I am a believer in the theory that not only Wagner's religious drama, but even all the other great oratorios would be more dignified and impressive if the charac ters and choristers were to appear in the costumes or the period instead of evening dress. The experiment is certainly worth a trial." Of course "Parsifal," which "Wagner specifically designed for dramatic action, can be properly given only in that way. Such words, too, as Itubinstein's "Paradise Lost," which he entitled "a sacred opera," may properly be given in dramatic form though in that case the "costumes of the period," for which the Miuician pleads, would have to be amplified to an extent for w hich even the "breeches" Bible would not afford historical authority. As to tne other great oratorios, it would be uianiiestly impossible to give complete stage representations of the largely super natural episodes set forth in the texts, even if the latter had been at all cast in a dramatic form. And how utterly inane would be a performance in which the char acters and populace were dressed up with historical correctness (supposing that to be possible), and then obliged to stand still in stiff rows along raised platforms at the end of an onen concert hall. It here the Thing 'Would Lead. But theie would be fun enough merely in the attempt to secure the "costumes of the period." Take for instance the greatest of all oratorios, "The Messiah." "Would you have the singers rigged out .in bearskins worn bias and with Dare feet bound on wooden sandals like the prophets of old whoe words fiey sing part of the time or would tbey be fitted-with patent automatic winirs and diaphanous draperies according to the accepted pictures of the heavenly host that appeared to the shepherds of Galilee? Or would the costumes be changed to suit each period on into eternity when the great chorus of the redeemed is sung? Or in the "Creation," the costume of what period would fit Him who said "Let there be light" or, for that matter, any of the characters in that immortal epic whose ear lier scenes no mortal eye beheld and in which even the last scene ended before man kind discocied the need of any costume whatever? If theJutcian yearnj for historical ac curacy in such matters, it will scarcely be able to find earlier authority than in" the miracle plays of the Middle Ages, some of which are still extant. Those precursors of the modern drama were enacted .upon a thrc-tnrr singe for angels, taints and niru, rcspectircly with a flaming pit at the side whence issued the hideous bowlings of . the demons at such times as these gentle men were not acting the buffoon on one of the unper floors of the flat. The costumes were elaborately designed upon the same scale of "historical" accuracy. The action suited these surroundings. Until we are ready to go the full length of these oldest and most authoritative pre cedents, we had better leave the simple minded peasants of Ober-Ammergau in possession of their present monopoly of the dubious privilege of representing sacred characters in the "costumes of the period" or with any other dramatic accessories. . The Gondoliers for Victoria. The following bits of musical gossip came by cable to The Dispatch from London: By special request of Queen Victoria, Gil bert and Sullivan's comic opera, "The Gondoliers," will be prodnced in grand style before Her Majesty and her guests at Windsor Castle on Friday evening, March 6. D'Oyley Carte's English opera venture can hardly be said to be as successful as he and his friends hoped it would be. It is re ported that D'Oyley Carte has purchased the English rights for Messager's new comic opera "Basoche." The , 12-year-old violincellist, Jean Gerardy, continues to be the musical sensa tion of London, the ability of this precocious genius being the main topic of conversation in musical circles. Henry Lee, of Kew York, has finally decided, alter considerable hesitation and contradictory announce ments, not to produce "The Henrietta" at the Lyceum until March 23. He will de vote the interval to the new burlesque of "Cleopatra." Miss Floy Vita, a young American, will make her debut in this version of "Cleopatra." Miss Ella Russell, of Cleveland, was one of the artists who sang at the first concert of the "Eamiglia Artistical" at Milan last week, and she scored an enthusiastic suc cess. Signor Bennedetto Cairat has pre sented Miss Russell with a valuable paint ing as a token of his appreciation of her ar tistic efforts. The newspapers of Milan were unanimous in their laudatory commentb upon Miss Russell's success. Crotchets and Quavers. Wagner's Siegfried" is having extraor dinary success in Brussels, the miniature Paris. The Apollo Club, which comprises a round dozen male voices, conducted by Sir. A H. Boyd, and assisted by Mr. John J. Isensee, solo bass gave an entertaining programme at the Western Pennsylvania Hospital last Friday evening. The musical portion of an entertainment to be Given next Tuesday evening in the Ames M. . Chnrcb, Hazel wood, will be in the hands of Mrs. Dr. T. J. Leak, the Misses Helen Grimes. Etta Mitchell. Carrie M. Angell and Rosa Bossinger anil Messrs. J. E. Eyth and W. H. Ott. The Church Choral Society, of New York, gave a second musical service at St. George's Chnrcb, Stujvesant square, Thursday even in;:, February 19, The works performed under the direction of Mr. Warren were Gounod's "De Profundis" and Dvorac's "Stabat Mater." The ThomasOrchestra assisted. Organist L. C. Webster and his admirable quartet, at St. Andrew's P. E. Chnrcb, will this evening give the third instalment of Dr. J. F. Bndce's oratorio, "Mount Moriah." These special mnsical services are held in burn regard by tbe authorities of the charch named, and are largely attended by outsiders as well. Let the good work go on. The Dutch concert at Paris was qnlte an in teresting affair; the programme contained works by 20 Dutch composers, which were in terpreted by 14 soloists and a cboral society known asthe'Union Neerlandaise;"tbe soloists were 4 violinists, S pianists, 2 violoncellists and 2 vocalist. The works ot the Dutch composers showed more erudition and talent than orig inality or inspiration. American Musician, It is a curious coincidence tbat the two best known operetta composers of tbe period have simultaneously turned their attention to grand opera. Sullivan has already prodnced his "Ivanlrbe" in London, while in Vienna Strauss handed in the score of his opera "KItter Pas mann" to the director of the Imperial Opera House on February 5. The data of its produc tion is not yet decided upon. Jfew York -Po. Mb. Bevebidoe Webster has undertaken the programme for the next reception of Art Society to be given Thursday evening, the 12th lost. Mr. Webster will talk on "Musical Motives and Their Manipulation," illustrating liia remarks upon tbe piano. Miss Elizabeth Webster will also contribute piano solos and Mrs. Kate Morgan Smitb, accompanied by her daughter. Miss Sybil Smitb, will supply tbe vocal aivertisement. Iscuaikowsky is coming to New York after all to conduct his symphony and piano concerts at tbe Oratorio Society's festival, opening the big new Music Hall at Fifty-seventh street and Madison avenue. Pittsburg's representa tives rather wisely concluded, when it was fonnd tbat the distinguished Russian would not play himself, tbat it wonla not be worth much to have him come here merely to swing tbe baton over an orchestra that someone else had drilled. For the New York festival the following soloists have already been engaged: Antonia Mielke. Clementina De Vere, Mane Ritter-Qotze, Italo Campanini. Andreas Dip pel, Theodor Reichmann and Emil Fischer. Mr. Cael, Better leaves to-night for New York in order to make more definite arrange ments with Mr. Seiul for the programmes of tbe May Festival. In addition to the artists already named in this column, Mr. Retter has engaged for tbe festival Fnrsch-Madi, the emi nent dramatic mczzo-sonrano, and Clemente Bologna, the basso cantante. Franz Rummel has been engaged as piano soloist in place of Joseffy. whocunldnot be allured from his re tirement. Mr. Rummel will be gladly heard, and, w ith tbe two singers named, will materi ally strengthen the forces for this most promis ing event. It is pleasant to note the great success of Reginald DeKoven's "Robin Hood," now run ning in London under the title, "Maid Marian." The American verdict on the American operet ta, as produced by the Bostomans, has been amply confirmed at the headquarters of the Giluert and bullivan school, to which this work so clearly belongs. That need not surprise us, howeter. Since quitea number of operas of this class, after notable London successes, have been weighed in American scales and found wanting, it would be strange tbat if a work that bas been pronounced up to American standards should fail of London's approval. But why doesn't Chicago crow louder oyer her Regie's triumph? The Juch Opera Company has scored a great success in ban Francisco with Wagner's "The Valkyries," which, if memory serves, bas been gi en iu this country by but one other com pany, tbat of the Metropolitan Opera Houe, New York. As one result of the success achieved out there by Conductor Neuendorf. ana nis present, iorces, it is stated tnat a num Der of wealthy 'Friscans have subscribed a guarantee fnnd for a permanent orchestra, on a scale similar to those of Boston-. New York and Chic ago. with Mr. Neuendorf as conductor. If the proposed return engagement of tbo Juch tfcupe at the Grand is made, we will want to hear -Tbe Valkyries." A vert successful soiree muslcale was given Friday evening at the Pittsburg Female College under the direction of'Mr. Theodor Salmon. Miss Blanche Newconlb, a recent Joachim pupil, said to have exceptionable talent and some idea of locating in Pittsuurtr, was programmed lor Vieuxtemps' Ballade and Folonaisp.tbe adagio from Ries' third Sicite and Sarasate's "Habanera." Mr. Salmon's piano selections embraced Schumann's "At Even ing." Chopin's Etude, op. 35, No. 2. and Fan raisie Impromptu, Foerster's melody, "Eros," and a Liszt Rhapsodie. Miss Mary Hanker ii, contralto, was set down for sonss bv DcKoveu and Norns. Miss Mary B. Kier contnouted some elocutionary selections. Me. Ethelbert Kevin's "Wynken, Blyn ken and Nod," for chorus and soprano solo, was given at the last concert of the Washington (Bv C) Choral Society. "Doris," Mr. Neyin's song for soprano with orchestra, which Miss Agnes v 'ui e.ui ah jriiisuurg's last jm ay festival, was beard at the recent concert of the Apollo Club in Boston Music Hall, and so pleased at least lone auaitor Mrs. Emerson, the well known singer that she requested the com poser's permission to make copies of tbe score and parts cd to use them in nnirrtn at T.nn. don, Berlin. Paris and Vienna. Mr. Nevin has recently appeared as pianist in Cleveland and other Northern cities with marked success, and has concert engagements booked up until May. bPEAKiNG with hearty approbation of the recentl'ittsburg concert in aid of the Penn sylvania State Music leachers' association, the Philadelphia! JI uiical Journal, which is tbe official organ ot the Association, has this to say: The various Pittsburg newspapers, notably The Dispatch, are doing valuable missionary work in behalf of the Association, and the members display an interest tbat leaves -not a -shadow or doubt but the Pittsburg meeting will be tbe means of placing the Association on a most substantial basis." Let us hope and prove that this confidence in musical Pitts burg is not misplaced. It takes work, though. to achieve success in such matters. Maybe ono of tbe two or thrco objectors to the recent concert, which paid one-half at tlio Associa tion's debt, Trill stp to tbo front with an offer in ioine way to raise tbo other halt, SocU a step is now ia order from any direction. TURN ON THE LIGHT. A Bill Is Taken From the State Capitol Befere Enrollment. , BOODLE CflARGKS ARE PfiEFEEEED All in Connection With an Indianapolis Street Car Measure. D01KGS OP THE STATE LEGISLATURES 1 diaita'polis, Feb. 28. In the Senate this morning there was a warm fight over what is known as tbe suburban Btreet rail way bill a measure which provides that street railways from the suburbs may enter the city over the tracks of the existing line. Some weeks ago the bill passed the Senate, but a reconsideration of the vote was ordered, though not taken. After the bill had passed the House it became necessary for the Senate to either expunge from the record the order for a reconsideration or pass the bill anew. On the motion to expanse, the fight of this morning occurred. During the discussion, Senator Hudson stated that an undue effort to influence his vote by the street railway company had been made. Senator Burke, who was opposed to the bill, charged that ex-Governor Gray and County Attorney Spencer had taken the suburban street railway bill and carried it about town yesterday after it had passed the House and before it came back to the Senate. The motion to expnnge finally carried by a vote of 27 to 9, and the bill now goes to the Governor tor his approval. The Senate ordered an investigation of Senator Burke's charge tbat the bill had been taken from the Senate. Mr. Spencer says: "Mr. Gray and I had beard tbat the street railway company's lobby intended to get the bill and carry it away or change it in enrollment so as to ruin its value. Ac cordingly yesterday afternoon we took a copy of the bill, which we knew was correct, and went to the enrolling room of the House to compare it with the bill in tbe clerks' hands. We got the bill and com pared it with the one we knew to be correct We had it only a few minntes, and did not take it away from the State House at all. It will give us great pleasure to be investi gated, and have the investigation presented to both sides in this matter." During the entire time this bill has been under consideration each side has been charging the other with corruption. The other day a sensational story was sent out to the effect that the McCormick Harvester Company, of Chicago, which is a large stockholder in the Citizens' Street Railway Company, had brought its influence to bear on Senator Magee, one of its attorneys, and that President J. C. Shaffer, of the Street Railway Company, had tried to influence Senator Magee by telling him that he could make himself solid with the McCormicks by voting against the bill. Little credence was placed in the story here, where Mr. Shaffer is known. THE LATEST SENATORIAL CAHDIDATE. Illinois Republicans Will Probably Try Director General Davis. CHICAGO, Feb. 28. A. M. Jones, chair man of the State Republican Committee and a number of Republican members of the State Legislature are iu the city endeav oring to complete an arrangement Jjy which it is intended that the Republican party will take up Director General Davis, of the World's Fair, as its candidate for United States Senator next week. This much is ad mitted. It is further known that nothing is lack ing to complete the plan unless it is tbe con sent of Colonel Davis, and it is believed that this has been secured. On this point neither Colonel Davis himself nor the other parties in interest will talk. It is given out that seven Democrats have pledged Colonel Davis their votes. HUST BE A RATIONAL AFFAIR. The Colorado Senate Passes the World's ralr BUI With a Proviso. Denver, Eeb. 28. The World' Fair bill came up in the Senate to-day. which was passed unanimously with an appropriation of S150.000. JSenator Steck offered the following amend ment, which was unanimously adopted: "Provided, further, that no part of the ap propriation' authorized shall be audited, al lowed or paid by the Treasurer of the State unless the said Columbian Exposition shall be under the entire control of the United States, and be an international exposition, and not nnder the control or management of the local officials of any one or more States of the-United States."
