acting la worthy of high praise. The play
itself cannot be called a pleasant one. It

Its lighter momenta it 1- agreeable enough.,,

to Nsw York audiences, but it lurely 1? a
masterpiece of dramatic presentation.
Mr Hollaender. the composer, conducted
the orchestra. Several of the chara?tera in
eome of the acenea entered the auge from
the front of the house by mean? of an ele?
vated pasa&ge extending from the rear of
the nous? to the footlights. Thla effect la
novel, contributing nothing to the interest
of the action or the meaning of the play.
Max Reinhardt, of all men, can afford to
leave something to the imagination of his
spectators. The play waa very favorably
received, and the acting of It made a deep
impression. ^ W.

Henry Labouchere was a man of many

the most attractive side of his character.
He believed In nothing and In everything.
He had a tremendous will that carried him
to success despite all obstacles. He poked
fun at display, hypocrisy and kindred
weaknesses, and, although he was pos?

HAMMERSTEIN PESSIMISTIC
Lack of Subscriptions to His
London Opera the Cause.
J>>n?Jon, Jan. 16?Oscar Hammeretetn ex
preeSSd a gloomy view to-day as to the
future of his opera enterprise in London
on account of the failure of subscriptions
for boxes. In an interview- published In
"The Evening News'' to-day, he is quoted
aa follow?:
"Guarantee me sufficient subscriptions
and I will produce grand opera fifty-two
weeks in the year I am not here to
revolutionize London or for money-making,
hut without these guarantees I am afraid
we are now at the beginning of the end.
?o far as grand opera in this building la
concerned.
"If there is not grand opera here there
will be something ?Ms In the building which
?hall be worthy of sucn n place. I shall
not remain in London another minute If I
cea?e to produce grand opera."
It Is understood that Baron Rothschild
and other financiers hold a mortgnge on
the (ipera House. ,

FERRARI OPERA TRIUMPH
"The Jewels of the Madonna"
Wins Favor in Chicago.
A TONE PICTURE OF NAPLES
Critics Call Wolf-Ferrari's Work
"The Significant Opera of
the Decade."
[By Tel-agraph to The Tribune]
Chicago, Jan. li>.-The first performance
in America of Wolf-Ferrari s opera 'The
Jewels of the Madonna" took place to?
night In the Auditorium hefore one of th*f
season's moat brilliant audiences. Kn
ttrely apart from the world-wide interest
that ?ttaches to the first American prodii? -
tlon of the work of a Kuropean composer
of note, the event achieved that artistic
importance that belongs to Hie worthy
presentation of a masterpiece. The triumph
ir- resulted for the composer, who was
present; the conductor, the director snd
the principals nee.l not be discounted In this
Instance because of the hysterical excite?
ment which obtains on such ocasiona, but
?may stand as the verdict of the public.
"The .Towels of the Madonna" Is the slg
tr.flcant opera of the decade, In the opinion
of Chicago cuti. s. It merits this distinc?
tion by ro??on of the beauty and dramatl?
truth of the music, the vivid reallam of
the action and the pathos of Its culminat?
ing; tragedy. The beauty of the music Is
the pur?? beauty of melody. Wolf-Ferrari
resteras1 to the art that simplicity an?'
directness of utterance whereby tho lyric
phrase beconses the all-sufficient symbol.
That psychological miracle that enables a
mel'ndy t-i define a temp?rament, a mood
or a dramatic situation la wrought many
timo? in this wonderful score.
Reflect? Neapolitan Life.
IJke "Tx.ulse,"' this opera Is s tone picture;
of a city Th" passions, the hrutalities, tn*
the faiths and the superstitions of the
people of Naples are set forth hy a master.
Tli. folksong, that only perfect reflex of
the spirit of a people, supplies him with B
wealth of melodic material that reflects th?
witchery of southern skies, the warmth of
the southern sun and the soft (-lory of an
Italian night. It reflects also the coarse
n??ss, the brutality, the thoughtless and
banal Joys of a pleasure-loving people
The folksong being a spontaneous expres
if national character, It follows, sln?'e
It Is native Italian melody that Is being
treated, that It Is closely akin to m?idern
dramatic mus!'". Hence it lends Itself to
I the elaboration of modern orchestral an?!
harmonic technique and fits perfectly with
the wealth of highly original and ?beautiful
thematic material whl?"h the composer has
I created
| This original material is frequently clas
-'. ' In Its simplicity. It Is as truly music
| as any that Mozart. Beethoven or Verdi
has written. In that its emotional ?ymhol
: Ism Is an Integral part of the melody, an
intrinsic ralttO, an?!, therefore, Is neither
augmented nor diminished hy the sis
- .??ment to which It Is subjected. Yet
this development i-howe the master, for it
.t- omplt?hea e pe-f.,ct adjustment between
the projrrS.s of the action. Its tonal re
fl. ttt and those sehelarly considerations
that accommodate mushal freedom to the
limitations of that logical sequence of repe?
tition? and contrasts called musical form.
Flexibility and Realism.
In It? purely musical aspect this opera
j approximates the law of symmetry as real
ISSd in the symphony mor<- closely than
any work rince the later muni?' ?lramaa of
?Richard Wagner, if its spirit is less lofty
that which Wagner drew from the
