Gatti's Forces
In New Version
Of Mefistofele
Vudionce at Metropolitan
Seems Filled With Spirit
of Glad Expectancy Over
This Great Opera by Boito
innovations Acclaimed
Achievements of Noted Sing?
ers of Bygone Days Are
Recalled by Performance
By H. E. Krehbicl
It may have been largely Imagination
?>r th? product of a wish born of an
'.>ld arid abiding love for the opera, hut
there seemed to us as if tho audience
which filled tho Metropolitan Opera
?louse last night to see and hear Nor- ,
o'.s "Merlstafele," was filled with a1
quite unusual sport of glad expectancy
concerning the work. It cannot havo
iieen curiosity merely, for there must
have been many in the audience who
remembered the representations of
twelve years ago, t-vhen tue Russian
Chaliapine stirred the quatic waters
considerably by his singing and acting
iu the titular character, but more by
by his picture of an almost nude and
vholly bestial devil in the scene among,
the witches on the Brockin.
Older recollections were more agree
nble those, for instance, which went
back to the first American production
at the Academy of Music in November,
1.S80, when Mine. Vallen? created for
us the characters of Margherita and ?
Klena; Annie Louise Cary, of ever ad
mirable and affectionate memory, those '
of Marta and Pantalla, and ?talo Cam
panini and Novara thpse of Faust and |
Mefistofile.
Other Singers Recalled
Still moro agreeable are the mem
ories of performances in the first sea
son .n the Metropolitan Opera House,
when Mine. Nilsson "doubled" the
parts of Margherita and Elena, Mme.
Trebelli those ot Marta and 1'antalis, ?
md had for associates Campanini and
Mirabella.
It was Mme. Tilsson who Introduced
the bad custom, from which, wo are
glod to see, Mr. Gatti's artista have
leparted. of making one woman out of
Goethe's heroine and the lady who
caused the Trojan war. l'he vision of
such a paradoxically retrogressive re?
incarnation of Margaret after we had |
?vitnessed her death was always dis?
turbing to persons of taste, and must1
have been utterly bewildering to the
multitude who were blithely ignorant
( f the purposes of Goethe and Boito.
Those purposes were beautiful, but ;
they have nothing to do with the story ?
of Margaret and Faust as it lives in
'he popular mind, and particularly in!
the mind ami heart of the lovers of
Gounod's opera.
Pleasant thoughts arise, too, along
a ith an appealing picture of Mme.
( alv? as the peasant girl whom Faust
wooed in the flesh, and a lovely vision
if the disturber of peace between the
I.uropean and Asiatic Greeks; but they,
r.iuat not detain us, for there was metal (
'paite as attractive in last night's rep- ?
esentation, though it was embodied not |
;n an individual, but an ensemble. It,
.vas an ensemble that brought together
? n happy union most of the best ele?
ments over which Mr. Gatti wieldston
troL
Success Is Emphatic
Obviously "Mefistofele" has a warm
place in his affections. We are glad of
that. Glad, too, that the success of the
r.ew production was ho emphatic that j
its future story will be more pleasur?
able to relate than its past., for despite
Mme. Nilsson, Signor Campanini and
l'an Chaliapine, the history of Boito's
fine work has been a sorrowful one.
The pictures with which it has now!
been adorned will bring it the wonder
and admiration of the multitude. By
the time they have served the purpose
of winning the careless and curious
crowd it is to be hoped that sound
appreciation will have been awakened
"or the poetic depth, the dignity and
beauty of Boito's drama ami the lovely
eloquence of his music.
The chief defect of the opera will
.ere work to a good end. No doubt
Boito's original lyric drama had more
dramatic coherency than that with
which we are familiar. *We do not
know what "Mefistofele" was like when
it fell under withering condemnation
at its first production In the Teatro
alla Scala In 1868.
But we know from the evidences
which remain in ks mangled form, as
well as from the dramas which the au?
thor subsequently wrote for Verdi,
Ponchielli and Botessinl ("Falstaff,"
"La Gioconda" and "Ero e Leandro")
?hat he was a great and sincere artist.
In trying to compass too much (for
Goethe's "Faust" Is too colossal in Its
-cope to be metamorphosed for any
purpose) he may have achieved too
.ittle. But it is to the everlasting
glory of his memory that he saw In
it something more than the story of
sentimental love, which sufficled
Gounod and his librettists.
Gounod's Work Unquestioned
The ecstatic loveliness of Gounod's
music Is not ih question, we are think?
ing only of the stupendous scheme
which occupied Goethe all his life, and
?o which Boilo prompted by the flood
ui Northern blood which flowed In his
veins, attempted to pay tribute.
Ho failed no doubt iti the large
r terpr se, but the monument which he
""- to hie wide-sweeping imagination
and Is earnestness of artistic aim is
? beai enduring one.
His work is now a series of sketches
''?'?'? but the ?ketches p.r" like the
le crayon strokes which betraved
el \ngelo ai i a Raffaello.
These scenes that are left are many
and varied, and the opportunities which
i d to Mr. Gatti's artistic
f< rce< have been splendidly exp?oited.
Mr. Anl feld's pictures are occasionally
roo garish, too outspoken, too arrogant
n their color to please the lover of
oontinent harmony, but this, we fancy,
????'as largely due last night to inartistic
light;- ;?.
If so, the defect can be remedied. A
mellower illumination of the scene out
id? the gates of Frankfurt and
Gretchen's tarden probably would
blend the splotches of color which last
? ',. ?? eye and detri cted
rom the ' ffe :t of the compo lit ions. In

often o tsti ppcd the time between!
plastic pi pri ;, and melodramatic ex?
travagance; but lie bodied forth a
finely imaginative conception of the
part and brought it home to everyone.
An agreeable surprise was provided !
by Signor ('??ii, the' tenor, who, as
Faust, made his d?but in the opona.'
There is nothing to be said in praise
of tho provincial operatic manners
: which obsess him, his readiness to!
drop the character and bow and smirk
at the first sound of applause and his ;
| occasional affected pathos, manifested
?,". the interjected aspirates before
vowels in passionate phrases, but his
voice is good, a pure tenor, which
nevor pales to whiteness, but remains
sound in color throughout its range.
And he knows how to use the half
voice, and s;ng piano?-which is a
boon.
The part of Margherita was enacted
by Mme. Alda, whose companion (as
Elena) was Florence Easton. Miss
Easton never fails of any requirement.
and the Classic scene between her and
Miss Perini had the placid beauty and
reposefulnesp of Mr. Anisfeld's picture.
Miss Howard filled all the needs of the
part of Marta. The others in the cast
were Angelo Bada i Wagner) and Gior?
dano Paltrinieri (Nereo).
The .most exquisite musical moment
was tho duet, "Lontano, lontano, lon
tano," which Boito saved for the opera
from his abandoned score of "Ero e
Leandro.'
Mr. Moranzoni conducted masterfully
and shared In the curtain cails which
followed nearly every scene. All who
had contributed to the representation
were made to feel, see and. hear tho
popular expressions of gratitude?-in?
cluding Rosina Galli, who had arranged
the effective dances of tho peasants

Alf ren's Symphony
In D Produced by
Director Stranskv
Swedish Composers Work
Reveals His Ingenuity
in Many Passages, but
Other Parts Appear Drab
It is easier to understand why Mr.
Stransky did not keep his promises to
produce a symphony in D by Hugo
Alfv?n, made in the Philharmonic So-,
ciety's announcement for tho seasons
1917-'18 and 1918-'19, than why he per- |
formed the work yesterday afternoon. '
Alfv?n is a Swedish composer, now
director at the University of Upsala.
No doubt he is a thoroughly tiained
musician with serious aims, but to
judge by the second of his three sym?
phonies, which was that heard in Car?
negie Hall yesterday, his inspiration
halts considerably this side of signifi?
cant thematic inventiveness and shows
itself best in scholastic workmanship. ;
Of emotional proclamations, the work j
semed wholly destitute audits most in?
teresting movement was the last, in
which the cc mposcr's skill in contra- :
puntal writing was displayed in a
bright light. It is a really line fugue
and the device of separating it into
two sections by a chorale and then
turning the hymn-tune into a new
fugal subject is both novel and in?
genious. The first movement las a
gentle prettiness, but neither the gloom I
of he rugged Northland nor the sun
niness of its pasture life is pictured
so well as it is in tho symphony by ;
(lade, which conductors used to bring
forward at intervals. The first three |
movements sounded monotonously ?
drab. Perhaps the effect of tho work !
would have been improved by a more :
virile performance. H. E. K.

Court Allows $1.10 Rate
For Nine Gas Companies
Ne*w Schedule Becomes Effective
Dec. 1 : Judges Ward, Hough
and Meyer Give Decision
Judges Ward, Hough and Meyer, of
the United States District Court, ren- ;
dered a decision yesterday which will ;
enable nine gas companies which ap?
plied to them for relief on November
3 to charge $1.10 a thousand cubic
feet for their product. Tho new rate
becomes effective December 1. Money
collected in excess of the old rato and
deposited with Richard Welling as spe?
cial master, is to be turned over to the
companies, which are to file a bond not
to exceed $500,000.
The companies concerned are the
Standard Gas Company, of New York;
: the New York Mutual Gas Light Com
! pany, the Northern Union Gas Com
? pany; the Central Union Gas Company,
1 the East River Gas Company, the New
Amsterdam Gas Company, the Brooklyn
Un ron Gas Company, the Fiatbush Gas
j Company and the Newtown Gas Com
! pany.
Attention was called in the decision
to the fact that the court had held pre?
viously that the gas companies, with the
exception of those in Brooklyn, had
reached the point where the cost of
manufacturing gas consumed their en
tiro income from their product, and the
question to be decided was the limit
of profit to be allowed. It was declared
that a profit of 10 cents a unit was
reasonable.
Since the Federal court decision that
the state 80-cent gas law was con
| fiscatory the Consolidated Gas Company
| and its subsidiaries have been charging
? 51 a thousand cubic feet.

Rumors of Serious
Illness of Obregon j
Persist in Mexico i
Continued Absence From His
Office, Cancellation of
Engagements and Banquet
Postponement Are Cited
-
MEXICO CITY, Nov. 26.-?Nottrrlth
standing official statements that Gen?
eral Alvaro Obregon, the President?
elect, is not seriously ill, persistent
rumors are prevalent here that ho is
more than slightly indisposed. In some
quarters the continued absence of Gen?
eral Obregon from his downtown office,
where he was accustomed to work seven
hours daily, is taken as giving cre?
dence to the reports of his illness.
General Obregon to-day cancelled
several engagements, and simultane?
ously announcement was made that a
banquet planned for to-morrow in his
honor by the confederation of Cham?
bers of Commerce of Mexico and the
United States had been postponed un?
til Monday.
Several weeks ago General Obregon
was threatened with pneumonia, and
his continued indisposition is thought
to be a consequence of that attack.
Fernando Torre-blanca, private sec?
retary to General Obregon, speaking to?
day concerning the condition of the
President-elect, said:
"General Obregon is quite well."
There is no indication that the plans
for the inauguration have been altered
because of tho state of health of the
President-elect or that of Provisional
President de la Huerta, who is now
daily at the national palace following
a treatened attack of appendicitis.
The inaugural period, which will
commence December 1, promises to be
the most festive in years. The gov?
ernment has taken over two of the
principal hotels here for the enter?
tainment of visiting American officials.
According to tho latest announcement
of tho Foreign Otlico the American
visitors will include thirteen Gover?
nors?of Texas, Arizona, New Mexico,
Colorado, California, Alabama.?Kansas,
North Dakota, Wyoming, Missouri, In?
diana, Mississippi and Arkansas.
Tho Latin-American countries also
are to bo represented at tho function
by special delegates.
Mexico Suspends Consul
Who Barred Senator Fall
DOUGLAS, Ariz., Nov. 26.?F. Al?
fonso Pesqueira, brother of Robert
Pesqueira, confidential agent of the
Mexican government at Washington,
has been suspended as Mexican Consul
at Douglas because he refused to ac?
cept an order from Mexico City to vis?
the passport of United States Senator
A. B. Fall, of New Mexico.
Ex-Consul Pesqueira to-night dic?
tated tho following statement:
"Upon receiving telegraphic orders
from Secretary of Foreign Relations
Hildalgo to vis? Senator Albert F.
Fall's credentials to go to Mexico City
I replied that I was not willing to ac?
cept the order, considering him an
enemy to Mexico, whose only object
had been for many years to bring about
intervention by the United State3, and
on many occasions had made bitter re?
marks about our own people. The an?
swer I received was an immediate sus?
pension from my office as consul. I
believe that I have done my duty and
I am perfectly satisfied with the re?
sult."
Drive Begun Against
Short Weight in Coal
A campaign against short weight in
retail coal was added to the general
investigation into the coal industry
yesterday. Several cases of alleged
underweight sales were investigated
by tho Bureau of Weights and Meas?
ures and arrests made.
_ The_ investigation into the anthracite
situation is gradually crystallizing and
important developments are expected
early next week by the state and Fed?
eral authorities. There was talk yes?
terday of the possibility of criminal
action against certain firms.
Officers of the Long Island Coal
! Company, of Oyster Bay, who had at
first refused to give any information to
Armin W. Riley. head" of the Depart?
ment of Justice flying squadron, except
on a grand jury subpiena, yesterday
notified Mr. Riley that their books were
at bis disposal.
Senator Wiliam M. Calder, In reply
to the charges of radicalism made edi?
torially by The Black Diamond, said
| yesterday: "Of course, The Black
Diamond is the publication of the coal
, men, and that was to be expected. I
appreciate as much as the coal men the
i attitude of tho country against gov
! crnment ownership as a general prin
i ciple. At the same time I and they
; understand that fuel Is a very im
? portant essential, the most important
j next to food. People must have coal,
: and if there Is any way to protect
| them I am going to do it."

Police Move Dead Line,
Cutting Forbidden Area
Renewed activity on the part of
crooks and gem thieves in tho down?
town districts resulted yesterday in
| the transplanting of the far-famed po?
lice dead line from Fulton Street to
Maiden Lane, when Chief inspector
, William J. Lahey detailed six picked
detective sergeants to patrol the jew
I elry district daily through the holidays.
Inspector Lahey announced that from
; now on any crooks known tu the police,
any men, or women, who had appeared
in the daily line-up at Police Head
' quarters, would be taken into custody.
The six detectives went on duty at 9
; o'clock yesterday morning and were in
j structed to watch crowds in front of
| show windows and to mingle with cus
! tomers inside stores to protect both
' merchants and patrons. They are all
veterans of the department, expert
thief catchers, who for years have
. known virtually all the denizens of
I tho so-called underworld.

American Zionists
Adopt Program of
Aid for Palestine
Favor Employment of Jewish
Workmen To Be Given a
Voice in Management of j
Corporations; Seek Funds j
BUFFALO, N. Y? Nov. 26.?The !
Zionist organization of America to-day
approved an extensive program for the |
industrial, financial and agricultural |
development of the new homeland for !
Jews in Palestine. The program was :
outlined in eight proposals submitted !
to the delegates at the twenty-third j
annual convention of the organization
by the executive committee, and it was
approved with only one important
amendment.
The amended proposal related to
Palestino investment corporations. The >
executive committee's original r?solu- j
tion pledged the organization to insti- .
gate the formation in all parts of the |
United States of local Palestine invest- j
ment corporations to invest a portion !
of their Capita] in the Palestine gov?
ernment loan and in public utilities and
financial institutions there.
The amendment, which was adopted
after a long debate, provided that of
vcial indorsement shall be given pref?
erably to companies that agree to
incorporate in their charters provis?
ions that shall favor the employment of
Jewish workmen and shall seek the
avoidance of class conflict by giving
the employees a voice in the manage?
ment, of tho corporation.
The delegates favoring the amend
' ment, were led by Dr. Horace M. Ral?
len, of New York, and Judge Hugo
Pam, of Chicago.
"It may take us longer to achieve our
end in Palestine," said Judge Pam,"but
let us tell the world now that where
the Jew goes there will be a common- I
wealth founded on justice and equality
to all."
The first vote on the amendment was
a tie, but on a second count it was car?
ried, 117 to 199.
The other proposals indorsed by the
convention provided for the immediate
solicitation of funds for investment in
the development of water power, irri?
gation and drainage, the establishment
of n land mortgage bank, house build?
ing and in cooperative producing and
consuming enterprises.
