But discussion of the play must do

sorrows of a lady of untraminelcd emo
tions should bo set forth on any stnge,
you will decline to believe thnt there
can bo merit In such a drama In any
circumstances. H you do believe In the
analysis of wayward souls, then you will
be greatly Intorosted In Miss Farrars
Impersonation. Dut In nolther case will
you he nt all disturbed by the music.
Miss Farrar has had her successes m
tho portrayal of holy virgins and shoH
has had her failures. With regret lor
a past entirely lost, ono recalls ucr
Elizabeth In "Tannhaeuser." Ono re
members with greater distinctness her
glorified Qoota Olr! In "King's Children."
And there is the lachrymose fluor
AniicUcu, holy, but not a virgin; a
,Vofer JJoIoroJd In a nun's veil. And
shall we add AHnne, or was slle to?
much a woman to bo of entirely spot
Ifss soul?
Miss Farrar 'a scarlet ladles rise
quickly before the memory, but they
permit dark desires to slumber In peace
One canpot omit mention of her TVioIj,
who bravely labored to bo shamelessly
seductive, but was obviously doomed to
sanctity from tho Instant ot her first
nppcaranco on tho stage. Hor Carmen
shows moro temper than temperament.
Ono recollects with a certain relish for
sheer brutality her shocking Incarnation
ot the besmirched Louiso In tho last act
of "Julllcn."
Dut not till last evening did Miss
Farrar emerge Into tho glare of tho
footlights as a real siren. Never before
did she reach tho abandon of tho creature
of klnmlutoly uncontrolled passion. In the
opera of Leoncavallo she has found her
opportunity, or did she, perhaps find It
In the faith of David Bclasco, whoso
master craftsmanship seems to have
moulded the Metropolitan production Into
a thing of vivid, scarlet, theatrical Ufa.
Muslo Isn't Electrifying.
Tho reader will notice thnt the re
viewer harps "upon my daughter." The
play and Miss Farrar are the things, not
tho music. There Is music, to bo sura,
and some of It fits the crime perfectly.
It neither Illuminates nor Interferes with
the drama. It Is orten futile, often a
mere blank, but by no means Infre
quently In excellent accord with tho sen
timent of tho situation. If there are
few vocal climaxes, the two or three
that oxlst ore theatrically well planned.
Zasa't sentimentalizing In the first
scene nbout her bibulous mother makes
the first appeal to Mr. LeoncaVallo's
lyric muse, which, however, finds some
thing more Important In tho rapturous
provision of Dufreane of hlo facile de-
tcent Into the arms of Zaza. The second
act affords les3 opportunity for the
Fprendlng of the wings of song, of which
Mendelreohn wrote so tenderly, but In
the third there Is room, and to spare.
In politely ngltated cantilena Dujretnc
npostrophlzees his desk, which Is littered
like His heart. Later comes the well
-emembercd sceno between Zaza nnd tho
child. Ah, tho child! What would the
emotional drama be without the preco
cious Juvenile actress? But In opera?
Well, there was but ono solution, to let
the child .speak Its lines, while tho or
chestra played suppressed sob music In
a sort of suffocated whisper.
In the fourth act Leoncavallo almost
reached the heart of the situation In his
setting of the passionate outbreak of
the faithful but neglected cascart, an
opportunity of which Mr. Amato mada
apt use and with which he stirred his
hearers. The duet between- Dufreane
ind Zaza Is written by a practised hand,
but for the matter of that one can sa
the samo of the entire score. Thera la
even a love theme such n, dear old ac
quaintance which wends Its way from
scene to sceno and slehs Its me fluous
me away over tho corpse of exhausted
passion.
But HI Is tmposslblo to regard the
music of this opera as c BUbJcct for
critical analysis. It Is facile, smooth,
suitable and sometimes oven felicitous,
but It never leaves the stage for flights
Into the realm of Imagination. In truth
It Is probable that general opinion will
declare Its best pages to be those of
the first act, which takes place behind
the scenes of a muslo hall. Here Indeed
Leoncavallo has caught the spirit of tho
environment and has composed music
gay,, vivacious, bordering on vulgarity,
devoid of depth and altogether appro
priate.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art
placed on view yesterday a nwmbcr of
Important recent accessions and mpdo
announcements of gifts of other Im.
portant works of art not yet on view,
Among the latter the gift of the Albert
Durer prints collected by Junius Spencer
Morgan easily takes precedenco.
Tills collection, which has but lately
como to tho museum, Is tho result of
many years of patient nnd Intolllcent
effort upon tho part of Mr. Morgan,
Every nuthontlc plate by Durer Is rep
resented by nt least ono very lino Im
pression. There aro also nbout two
thirds of the known woodcuts as well
as two original wood blocks.
Tho collection Is being arranged and
consolidated with tho Durers already
owned by the museum, and tho mim to
tal makes one of tho finest expositions
of Dutcr prlntu In the world. W. M.
Ivlns, Jr., tho curator of the museum's
prints, spoke of tho collection with un
bounded enthusiasm and said that "It
must bo regarded as n fortunate year
for his department In which two such
accessions as the complete set of Hol
bein's 'Dance of Death" and these In
comparable Morgan Durers wero added
to tho museum's possessions."
In tho department of far Eastern art
the museum Is showing a gallery full of
Chinese "ancestor" portraits loaned by
Samuel T. Peters, It Is only within re
cent years that such portraits have been
coming from China, as the portraits are
so close y connected with a 1 that Ori
entals hold sacred that they aro about
the last of their possessions they are
willing to relinquish, It Is a surprise, In
consequence, to find Mr. Petors's collec
tion so replete with them,
Tho plan of all the portraits Is simi
lar. Tho robes of the seated figures nro
painted In flat tints, which give the
paintings nn agreeable mural effective
ness, Tho faces nro drawn with Im
mense earn and tho similarity In style
to the work of Holbein has often been
remarked. Two remarkable seventeenth
century screens, painted by Koren nnd
loaned by Humncr Welles, are also In
this exhibition.
In the room of recent accessions two
splendid tapestries nro being shown, the
bequest ot Mrs, Augustus D, Julllln.nl.
The tapestries, which aro magnificent
exnmplca of early sixteenth century
Flemish work, were loft by Mrs. Jullllard
to tha museum and subject to the Ufa
Interest ot her husband, whose death oc
curred last spring. With tho tapestries
are shown a pair of beautiful bronzo-gllt
candelabra of nineteenth century Fronch
workmanship and a pair of bronzo-gllt
ewers of tho Bnma period.
The museum's nullctln announces that
the fourth exhibition of work by Amer
ican manufacturers and designers Is to

Scene That Will De Pnpnlar.
Tills whole scene will b popular.
Every one likes to peep Into dressing
rooms and touch the dangerous borders
of the naurhty world which Is believed
to hide In such regions. "Zaza" pre
sents an animated photograph of the
fabled wlckednesa Ail sorts of things
tro on, drinking, smoking, lovemaklng,
high kicking, kissing, sudden embraces,
biting but this is a family newspaper.
Tho theatre of to-day does not shy at
such doings, but tho opera has been
more decorous. Even Carmen li a New
England schoolma'am compared to Zaza.
To return to Miss Farrar. Her Im
personation la tho opera. Let It be
added that It Is a work of art She
plays skilfully alonr the gamut of emo
tions. In tho first scene she ranges
from gayety to petulance nnd thence to
passion. In the scere with the chl'd
ind the brief episode with the wife she
reaches the delineation of reat feelln?.
No actress" of the spoken drama could
Interpret tha scene better than she.
Tier final act Is equally good, albeit tha
material hero Is leas difficult to manage.
Miss Farrar usually Improves In her
roles. However, It might be hazardous
to modify last evening's impersonation.

With the papers full of;
'Sale advertisements, we
can readily understand why
old friends now burst in on
us to ask "When do you ex
pect to reduce prices on
clothing?"
We'll have to let you in
on the inside.
We have done and are
doing the biggest clothing
business in our history.
One reason probably is
because we are our own
manufacturers and base
prices on actual cost and,
in all cases, take only our
normal profit.
It's the old law of supply
and demand. We are sell
ing as fast as we can pro
duce. Therefore have
nothing to reduce.
Quality, Workmanship,
Wear, are factors that make
our clothes worth while.
We invite comparison
even while Sales are raging.

Mr. Dachrllrr has produced a story that Is

Ehero of a most picturesque period In American
Istory. and delicately quaint In that humorous
auuuao wnicn is so much like uncoin a own.
The Boston Herald Says:
It Is easy torn that It will rank as one ot the

The Cincinnati Times Star
Says:
A beautiful and enthralling story, so eonrtne
let that one Is tlmoit left In doubt as to whether
Itls fact or fiction.
Former U. S. Senator Albert J.
Iieveridge has written In
the N.Y. Times Review:
Itls not Uncoin tho reformer nor Lincoln tha
statesman that we think of when wo read "A
Man for the Ages," but rather It Is Lincoln the
human being, as lie appeared among the neigh

great purposes of his life were being formed and
when Drovidcnce was fittinr him to aehJava
those purposes.
