A ".1 -.': THE SUN, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER U, 1912, 'c "LA GIOCONDA" BRINGS : OUT BRILLIANT HOUSE Carnso and Amaio Dollght in Vocal Glories of the Opera. ... ii flESTIXN AND HOMER TOO All the Slngeri Do Well and Tolacco Gondncts Capably. Tha third evrnln of the open kimii, which wnp lat cvcnlne. was devoted to ' performance of Ponchlelll's opera "Ia filoconda," This melodious work came Into the repertory of tho Metropolitan Opera llotie in the opening year of the ril'lenre of the Institution and its char ctrrlllc Kcore at once found favor with jnule Inrer. Owlnit to the disaster which overtook the first season and tho conre ucnt substitution of German for Italian erera l "flloconda" disappeared for a long time. It was inevitable that with Mr. Caruso i member of the company It would be restored to a place in the standard list and 4 :i permanency has been still better assured rr the presence or Mr. Amato. An opera which gives such brll Inn t openings for the rocal glories of both tenor and barytone is sure to be beloved of a publlo which goes to the lyric theatre chiefly to hear singers. flloconda." however, does not curtail Its opportunities for the distaff tide of Its rat It contains no lots than three good feminine rAles, two of them of almost heroic calibre. The part of Ln Circa, while brief In extent, calls for a singer of rr.uih excellence, while tho title rolo Is fnrmldnble enough to give anxiety to any soprano and .euro fnlls only a little short ' of reHchliie nn equal level. In nddltion to these qualities the opera drmnnds rich and elaborato setting, needs the services of a competent chorus and has ene of the most brilliant of ballets. What more can fhe spirit of mortal desire? Last evening's performance offered noth Ine new for critical consideration except the e'tVcn of Mme. Duchene, which was of commendable. If not distinguished, char acter. Tho Ginionda of Mme. Destlnu puttered no diminution of vocal or dramatic force by reason of tho soprano's unexpected Iwurslon Into (he Thurlnglan forests of Wagner on the previous evening, and Mme. Homer's Laura had those high merits and minor Inequalities which have marked it In previous seasons. Mr. Amato, freshlr returned from tri umphs In tho great Colon Theatre of Buenos .rres. showed that neither tho rude hlasts of the South American winds nor the me thodic incitement of the South American claques had Impaired the prodigious power of his sonorous voice. His llarnaba is one of his best roles and his impersonation . aroused much enthusiasm. Mr. Caruso is always popular as Eme. There are sceptics who say that he does not sing "Cielo e mar" so faultlessly as he did in former years, but they admit that h sings it beautifully and that people are right In applauding him. Mr. de Hegurola ras again the saturnine husband, who sought such spectacular revenge on a frail spouse. The ballet was pleasing and the performance was capably conducted by Mr. Polacco. There was such an audience as the noted ct was sure to bring out and the costumes worn were elegant, some of them being strlklng. Mrs. Frederick O. Beach, who 'was with Mrs. William K.

MISCHA ELMAN PLAYS House Stirred by His Perform ance of tho Brahms Violin Concerto. The seventy-first season of the Phil harmonic Society of New York began with the concert given in .Carnegie Hall last evening. The hall was occupied by a numerous audience and there was every evidence of delight In the proceedings. The programme offered by Conductor Josef Ktransky consisted of Felix Weln gartner'a "Merry Overture," the tlrahms Tlolln conce-to, Alexander Hitter's or chestral sketch entitled "Olat'a Wedding Dance" and Heethoven's seventh symphony. The solo violinist was Mlscha Elman. It is permissible to surmise that the Inclusion of two novelties in the first pro gramme of the season points toward a vigorous policy of exploration, but every one will traut that the discoveries will be made more frequently under the smiling skies of the tropica than among the frosts of the polar regions. Both of the new compositions heard last evening had waltz movements, but Broadway dwells among Viennese rhythms of greater Inspiration. Mr. Weingartner does two things remark ably well. He conducts and he writes critical commentaries in finely considered German prose. These two achievements should content one man, but he reaches out into the field of original musical pro duction. The overture heard last evening was his latest composition and Mr. Stranaky gave to It the first performance on this side of the Atlantic. The work has several themes, of which the waltz already men tioned and a march melody are conspic uous. The scoring Is effective and the overture serves to pass time. But nothing more serious can be said for it. Alexander Rltter was one of the teachers of Richard Btrauss and wrote the poem which is prefixed to that master's "Tod und Verklorung." The work heard laat evening aspires to be taken as a symphonic poem and it haa a programme. It ap pears that the daughter of King Olaf and a knight had fallen deeply inllove. The King liked knighta, but drew the line at having them marry his daughters. But this one, Olaf, would not give way , and so the King allowed him to wed the daughter, but with the soothing condition that he should be executed at midnight. The wedding was followed by a grand fete and the newly married couple waltzed to gether. At the fatal stroke of midalght they droppded dead on the ballroom floor, thus cheating the axeman. The programme explalna that "Ecstasy of longing and Death's horrors had taken them." This makes the denouement perfectly clear. The principal rhythmln movement of the composition Is the waltz. This la treated with some instrumental skill and finally is interrupted by a crash, which indicates the fatal moment. The work was once played by the Boston Symphony Orchestra under Dr. Muck in 1007 nnd since that haa rested ln the grave with the two extinct lovers. It Is a light and ephemeral composition and unless it is to be the policy of the present directors of the Philharmonic to lighten the character of these concerts It hardly de served a place on last evening's programme. The Philharmonic Society used to stand for the best and most exclusive in musical art, but perhaps the time for that has passed and the amusement of the moment la oc casionally to be sought. Both of these new works were admir ably played. The orchestra delivered Itself of a line sonorous body of tone, the strings In particular sounding vibrant and mus cular. There was good precision ln the playing, and the concert in these matters gate comforting promise for the season, while It brought Immediate credit to Mr. Stransky. Mischa F.lman and the Brahms violin concerto stirred the house to genuine en thusl.ism. When the general approval of the performance hid ceased a few deter mined encore seekers kept up such a pro longed clatter that every sane music lover rmst have hoped that Elman would give them what they decidedly did not want by playing at least one movement of the concerto over. These so-called encore seekers do not desire encores; they wish to have the soloist play an additional number. They are never content to allow the Impression of a fine performance to remain in the mind. The sure cure for their persistence is always to give them an actual encore. Taking It by and large, as the sailors say Mr. Elman's Interpretation of the concerto was worthy of generous applause. While there were things in il with which a Brahms ptirist might properly quarrel, It had so much of the blood of life that one could forgive the lapses from Justice. It waa In the first movement that the thoughtful hearer could find the most to cause regret. Splendid aa the gorgeous color of the per formance was, inspiring us the breadth and dash and daring of tho delivery was, there were moments when the Eastern lash of Tatar savngery whipped Into shreds the austere and loftv pooiy of Brahms. In the wscond movement, howetcr. Mr. Elman Knotted that he could be continent when he felt the absolute need of repose. His reading of this moement us unaffected In general stylo, loelv In tone, rich in deli cate play of appropriate nuances and re spectful of the hplrft of the music, In the l.ixt movement theiH wjh aealn some lack 1 of balance, but It was on the v. nolo brilliantly '..In,,.,! Mr. Elman Is still a very young virtuoso and without doubt his artistic perceptions, which ure unmistakable, will ripen. He will probably become a performer of the full blooded school, but he will almost surely polish off some rough edges which are now too often plain to every eur. SHEEHAN THROWN FROM AUTO.

HAS A DAINTY FLAVOR Somewhat Conventional hut Should Satisfy Many Audiences. "The Gypsy" At the Park Theatre. Lord (ttanhepe John D. O'Hara Lord Kyddlehurst Ernest I.ambart Count von Sternberg John llattanl Pnulo Francis Lleb Dago William Bsllery l'hlpp Forest Wlnant I.dy Alicia Violet Beaton Lady I.ucy Eleanor Kent Agra Josephine Morse Clytlt Blanche West Sophia Anna Wilkes Lovers of light muslo and Its accom panying humor have cause to be grateful to Clustav Ludera and then to Frank Plxley. It was they who wrote "The Prince of Pilsen" which remains one of the best operettas that our own writers have ever produced. There were other results of their collabora tion before that time and alnce, but It waa with that operetta they put this publlo so dseply In their debt. It was good news to theatregoers to hear therefore that the firm was at work again and had produced "The Oypfcy," which waa last night sung at the Park Theatre. It Is the first time within three yeara that a new work haa come from them. It may be that they have not given the world another "The Prince of Pilsen." But "The Oypsy" Is in the first class of Its kind. Mr. Plxley haa not been revolutionary in the matter of a libretto. He haa Indeed been reactionary and returned to rural Ent land as the scene of his story. Then there are gypsies and there la a baronial hall and the gypsies camp on the lawn of the estate. There Is Inevitably a handsome leader of these picturesque squatters, so It Is In dispensable that there ahould also be a beautiful heiress within the ancient hall. She Is there, and moreover it la she who Is the gypsy bom, while the leader of the band Is the rightful heir to the ancestral acres and the family name. Somebody mixed those babies up however could she do it? and there was luoklly no harm In the process, since both were In love snd neither cared who owned the castle or which was the gypsy. Mr. Plxley was quite courageous In fol lowing out the spirit of Victorian operatic intrigue to Its ultimate convention. The two backgrounds for his scenes were the camp of the gypsies and the ancestral home of the Stanhope family. He Introduced enough new characters, however, to give his libretto rather the char acter of London musical comedy than of operetta. This was especially the feeling of the second act, which might have been a recent importation from the neighborhood of Leicester Square, so polite was the quality of its humor. , An sdded touch of daintiness In Inter pretation would have made the act quite as much'ln the vein of modish taste as the Importation, which occupied the seam theatre last sesson. Aa It was, "The Oypsy" Is quite a worthy successor to "The Quaker Girl." Mr. Luders's music lacks the full throated melody of his best known work, but hia aoore ia .mildly melodious and gracefully written. It shares, with most popular American compositions, the superiority of its rhythms over melodio originality. Many of the numbers were applauded last night, and It seemed more than once aa if the music publishers and their cohorts In the back rows were not responsible for all the neleethat meant approval. The general performance waa admirable. It would always be an advantage to the first night performance In which be Is en gaged if Ernest Lambart would take time enough to learn the lines of the author Instead of extemporizing, to the frequent peril of the scenes in which he appears He had a helping hand last night from all his associates and seemed to need it. Yet he was funny in his usual kind of a part. John Hazzard was as dry and wet aa he customarily is and the audience laughed at htm without effort. Forrest Wlnant, remembered aa the attractive central figure of "The Country Boy," seemed at home In musical comedy until the time came for dancing. After a while, however, he may be facile too ln that department. Anna Wlikea, his asso ciate, waa uncommonly nimble. Violet Seaton Is pretty and Eleanor Kent Is a person of complete aplomb under all con ditions. Then Francis Lleb aang very well the hero's music. So there was lacking no element for the success of "The Oypsy," which is most alluringly presented to the eye. Plays and rlayere.

EXTENDS SCIENTIFIC WORK Increase in Special Research Branches Planned to Meet Spirit of Age. Announcement waa made yesterday that through the liberality of Oeorge K. Raker a consolidation has been effected between the New York Hospital and the Cornell University Medical School. The medical school is to have the privi lege of the practical training of its under graduates in. hospital work while the hospital is to have the advantage of vastly enlarged facilities and the benefit of the research made by the faculty of the school. Mr. Baker doea not donate any lump sum, it was said yesterday by Prof. James Ewing of the medical school, but has agreed' to stand back of the coalition, bearing all costs and the running expenses. Prom a source other than Prof. Ewing, it waa learned that this will coll for the interest on many million dollars. When a coalition was effected between the College of Physicians and Surgeons and the Presbyterian Hospital. Edward S. Harkness gave 81,000,000 and the sum re quired will be more in the present case. The consolidation which thus benefits both institutions was said yesterday by Prof. Ewing to bo in line with present scientific purposes. Cornell Medical School, which was endowed anonymously and has since increased its endowment to about $7,000,000, has specialized in medical research, in laboratory work, for the purpose of discovering the cause of disease. Its requirements for entrance examination are the highest, its freshmen being required to show a degree of A. B. before they are accepted. It haa worked in agreement with New York Hospital for some years. Its students having acoevs to the words with limitations and the professors of one institution aiding tho other. The philanthropy of Mr. Maker simply olds both to develop the work. Just what is to bo done in the now con colidatlon Prof.JiwIng did not say yes terday. It was intended to increase the facilities of tho hospital by doubling its capacity for one thing and it also wus intended to move the hospital from its present site to a new one in which a larger building with every procurable modern improvement can be installed. ln the school itself the medical research work will be improved and enlarged. Thero will bo u further increase in its special rehearch branches. Ono depart ment now is devoting its time to tho btudy of tho'caubo and euro of cancer, 'lhw work although well endowed will be enlarged. 'Ihe research at iprehcnt is made possible by the Huntington fund. 'Ihe Cornell Medical College, established In 1H98, alwuys ha.s been credited to the benefaction of Col, Oliver U. Payne, although no official confirmation of this over hus been obtuined. It now hus its laboratories, its line building at Twenty seventh street and Firetavenue.nhuilding at Ithaca, tho Hudson street hospital and tho supervision of tho Memorial Hospital In Central Park West. 'Iho Now York Hospital is one of tho oldest institutions of ns kind in the city. It whs founded by churter from cieorgo III. in Juno, 1771. It is a priuto institu tion, controlled by a board of governor of which George L. Hives is tho president. On Its board aro many well known New Yorker. Upon Its list of membership since its foundation aro tho names of tho most illustrious citizens of tho community and its medical staff alwuys has been mode up of distinguished physicians. Jn discussing the consolidation yes terday another member of the Cornell faculty said the combining of the two institutions bimply reflected tho spirit of tho age. 'Iho hospital which would rank as the highest type of Institution must be in a position to command the services of large corps of experts in laboratory work, In pathology, bacteri ology, organio chemistry, clinical micros copy and other departments of medical science which include the modern means of accurate medical diagnosis. There aro few hospitals which can command tho funds to secure such benefits to their patients at n cost of JSo.ooo a year or more, but tho union with the medical school accomplishes everything ncoessary. It was announced thut everything had been arranged for the consolidation and that Mr. Baker already had turned over sufliolent money to begin the work. How much this was was not rovealed, it was said, at Mr, linker's request, WI1IS AND APPRAISAIS. JAMES CI. rOWEnS, who illad April 7, 111, I. ft a total xslato of 1117.

NEW LAW MAKES IT EASY Mrs. Biatch Decides That Climate of State Will Suit Her. the A brand new suffrage schema was hatched up yesterday. The women have found a short cut to the ballot box, and some of them mean to get there whether Now York given suffrage to them or not. The schomo is tho result of an inspira tion on the part of Sirs. John W, Bran nan of the Women'a Political Union. Somo inquiring mind among the habitues of tho union's headquarters discovered that easy is no name for the job of qualify ing for citizenship in tho State of Michigan. Now that suffrage has won out there any woman who meets the other con ditions can secure the right to vote in Michigan by merely spending six months in tho State. That is just exactly what Mrs. Brannan yesterday proposod that the New York women' do. The idea caught like wildfire. Mrs. Harriot Stan ton Biatch herself decided that the climate of Michigan would just suit her ln the good old summer timo of 1913. "Just think of Maclcinacl she ex claimed. "Gloriously cooll All the suf fragists who aro victims of hay fever will be sure to want to go there, for I believe they guarantee that nobody will sneeze in Mocklnao more than once a day at the outside. After tho matter had been exhaustively discussed for a long time ay five or ten minutes three prospective Mich (ganders had declared their intention of migrating next spring to the Badger Stalo. Or is it the Possum State? There was some division of opinion. The trio was composed of Mrs, Biatch, Mrs. Bran nan and her daughter Kleonor. ")'a shall probably havo quite a little colcnv," said Mrs. Biatch. "We shall live In bungalows, which we will call 'Votes for Women bungalows. '" Tho more the plan was discussed tho more picturesque appeared its possi bilities. And there were two suro things about It; tho desirability of tho climate and tho certainty of being admitted to tho voting set of Michigan, When Mrs. Mary Waro Dennett, secre tary of the Nntlonul Woman Suffrage Association, was told of this new way of getting the ballot sho laughed and said: "That will be great fun, of course, if they have tho six months to spare in order to qualify ns citizens. But then, even though they have gained the suffrage in Michigan, it won't do thorn any good in Now York, Citizenship is a thing you cun't carry with you across a State line, I read recently of a woman who had been enfranchised and disfranchised three times. It is decidedly a caso of 'Now you see it and now you don't' with women's oitizenshlp, unless she happens to 'stay put.' r "Then you won't Join the colony T" "II Mercy, not I couldn't anyway unless I ahould beoome a woman of Maura.

' And although MichlgnnsjU a fine State finer now than ever before I shall do something elso with mv leisure) when I get it. But if anybody cli careei to got sufTrago In this particular- way it will bo plenty of fun. I imagine." Mrs. Biatch insisted that tho schema Is a serious one and anticipate u good many recruits. It looks as if thn feraala population of Michigan would go up witk a bound next summer. Over Six Millions of people are in New York City every week day in.he year.
