CAIUSO ADMIRABLE Carmen" was presented at the Met' ritpoltun Opera House last evenlnit with .in-aldine Karrar In the title role and jlr Caruso as Von Jo$t. The house wan sacked ami the performance was greeieo iih some lauithter and much applause. When -Mme. Karrar first Impersonated in.

Ilfr rojiu showed no evil effects of her incursion into me nein ui mo moving uit ,.. hut there was a vast difference i fhn CnrtHfri. This role was subjected to elaboration for the photoplay, and necessarily action was a.Id.d with much generosity. Home f nil. action Mine. Karrar put Into the n.ra. last evening with the result that the owe elemental type- created by Mcrlmec became a common drab. The true Carmen, as fitted to operatic needs, a. a plebeian Mcssallna, over. whom the dirk shadow of fate spread poetic tracedy If any one could have found a trace of high tragedy last night he must have had more Imagination than Mme. Karrar. Bitot's opera la for her a inmpanlon piece to Splnelll's "A Basso I'orto." a rank and offensive excrescence nf the. stews of humanity. When she emerged from the factory after the quarrel Inside, her gown had keen torn completely off and she was In umlerwalst and petticoat with a smear , f blood on the left sleeve. Presently the selied a chorus girl (collar and rlbow) and forced her to the mat at the grapple. And she Jumped on the cirl when she was down and throttled hr and kicked her too. After that aha variered around the stage Ilka one of Ada Lewis's "tough girls" with extended talons defying every one to try another fall. To emphasize further the character of her Carmrn she Introduced the ribald itrtet laugh which she ueed with such artlttlc purpose In the last scene of "Jul hen." It seems hardly necessary to tttmli further. It was a much de tirlorated Carmrn, one which brought Into conspicuous prominence tvery spark of latent vulgarity In the cigarette girl an4 obliterated as far as possible the witchery of the romantic gypsy. Mu sically It was generally a good Carmen, for Mme. Farrar's voice was In good con dltlcn. L'sed as It Is In this role chltfly In Its medium It discloses Its moat beau tiful qualities. But the delineation as a nhote was depressing. Mr. Caruso succeeded In pretending hat this creature had around passion ' his breast and cauiied him to forget hi respectable .Wrurla.

Murray Young gave reception with music at the Colony luh laxt evening, when Mme. Marie lUrrientos. the new Spanish soprano of 'n Metropolitan Opera Company, was th soloist. Her programme Included Kl Majo," a new song by Oranados ; Air des Hosslgnols," by Rameau ; "I'ournuol Renter Heulette," hy Saint Raens; "Vedral Carlno," by Moiart, and aro Nome," from Verdl't "Rlgoletto." uulseppl Hamboschek was at the piano. Al Jolson Is realty the flower of the Winter Garden. None of Its other prod ucts was ever so popular. Of nil Its entertainers he was ever the best liked. He may really be called a Winter Gnr den growth, since his ability as a come dlan was developed there, laist night he was back at the scene of his nrtlatlc triumphs, appearing In an extravaganza more or less of the usual Winter Harden pattern called "Robinson Crusoe, Jr.' Mr. Jolson has not been seen here since he acted more than n ear ago In "Dan clng Around." It Is the part of Friday which falls to him after the first scenes of the play. It Is not a new role for fun makers, although It was more pop ular In the past than It has been of recent years. Bert Williams wanted to act the part a few years ago. but Mr. Jolson seems to have beaten him to It. The new show last night wns described as a "musical- extravaganza," und there were the customary talented Journeymen of the Winter Garden forces on the Job. Harold Atterbrldge and Kdgar Smith, who supply bright material so fie quently to this theatre, prepared the text, while there was music by Hlgmund Romberg and James Hunlcy. The two acts were under the direction of J. ( Huffman, who has previously brought these productions to triumph. There was an openlnc scene In a country home at Westbury and that was , followed by two views or Koiiinson Crusoe's Island with a pirate ship to fol low. The silver city and a return to Westbury completed the number of pic tures In which the audience was Invited to witness the fun which Mr. Jolson and his assistants provided. Centre of Kvery Scene. It was of course Al Jolson who was the centre of every scene In which he appeared. Absence made the large audience more than ever appreclathe of the spontaneity ami freshness of his humor. He la a wonderful example of what the lack of self-conxclousness ac complishes In the case of a popular ravorite. ."touting imerieres wun me evident Intent to do the best that he can to entertain. And he was as divert ing as ever In all the various Incarna tions that the librettists had prepared for him. Of course he was the Irresistible Jolson In all of them. Had he been any thing else his loyal public would have resented it. There was every cause for the cordiality with which he waa wel comed back. Perhaps his songs were not always out of the ordinary. But the singer was. and therein lay the cause for the rejoicing of the spectators who had gathered to greet him. He was a chnuffcur before he was Friday In the dream of his employer Then he imitated a Turkish hourl for a few amusing minutes before he appeared again as mere Jolson and for the sake of the public which had been so cordial to him did a whistling specialty that dateil from the first night he ever ap peared on the hUge of the theatre with which for five years he has been Identi fied. It took a modest celebrity to do that. Indeed this element of his per formance added to his humor, 11m effec tive delivery of his songs and the Irre sistible personality helped In being the hero of "Robinson Crusoe, jr., to an ex tent which made the evening nil his own. Then he had the advantage of appear ing In a chastened and reformed Winter Garden show. There, were acres of tights. No rosy brawn ohtruded. Dim pled knees were carefully concealed under silk fleshing. The historic run way was utilized sparingly. On one occasion It was the simple domestic expedient of wool that tied the spectators to the chorus. The knitting girls tossed the ends of the yarn Into the audience. Its more enterprising nwrnhera a-rasued the ends tentatively. The old time Intimacy between public and performers was missing. Dlalosrae Is Reformed There was even a great Intention to reform In the dialogue, 'mere were in Heart a. ronnle of raw ones. Singularly ennuvh both fell to Mr. Jolson. Who gave them to him? They did not sound In the least like the healthy humorist who had been amusing the public with out the need of resorting to any such nndeilnab e and exotic suggestions. One and the less offensive of the two rtferred t5 the toug"h chicken wnicn it tnnk no long to stew. The other had its Inspiration In the French conversa tion In the restaurant. Mr. Jolson will identify them all right. There waa tuneful music from Mr. linmbera-. who rewrote himself cheer fully, and occasionally a Joke showed Its head apologetically In the text. There was excellent taste as well as adequate lavlshness in the costumes. A new beauty appeared In Wanda Lyon, Mme. Caumont Is a fat and strange comedi enne. aoDarenliy driven to ineso nosim able shores by the war, and both Claude Firmmlna- and Lawranee D'Orsay added their share of background to the pro ceedings. Frank Carter dances grace fully and sings well enough, while Ada Patrova gave to one scene an agreeable solo. Grace and Berkes were two welcome dancers. In tne varied scenca more than one background was of otrlklng beauty, anil ngainsi ine inn -uh m-inclnnl actors or the well trained chorus supplied constant and graceful or amusing movement, uui n w.m really Al Jolson's night. Knr that rea son It was Immensely satisfying to the uudlcnce. and many other nlghtti to comn will probably prove that the Winter Garden has another of lt!j unique and entertaining shows. plays and Players, a will bo alven under the ausplcs nf the Automobile Club of America on Monday evening.
