NIELSEN, WITH 'RIGOLETTO' DUPLICATES
SAN CARLO'S FIRST NIGHT ENTHUSIASM
VERDI'S OPERA A
SPLENDID TREAT
SOiOISTS AND ENSEMBLE UN
EQUALED IN LOS ANGELES

Constantino and Galperni
Share In Triumph
1 For'; Its second ttppearance In Los
Angeles, In the Angelu* rink, the San
Carlo: opera company chose Verdi's
VRigoletto," which was the bill last
night. The choice was an exceedingly
wise one. The opera Is fairly well
known here; It had an excellent rendi
tion In the Auditorium recently, and it
affords scope for brilliant individual
and choral work, while its score calls
for some splendid Interpretation by the
orchestra. Lacking the gorgeoslty,
wealth of color and obsession of melo
dic glory which "La Gloconda" pos
sesses so markedly, yet It makes per
haps even severer demands on a com
pany. That the Ban Carlos came
through the ordeal with a brilliantly
triumphant and marvelously beautiful
success is to put it mildly indeed.
"Rigoletto" Is not an opera of to
(l*y. There is a marked difference be
tween the old Italian school of opera
and the more modern writers. The lat
ter day composers have been awed by
Wagner. He speaks a language utter
ly foreign to them. They have deemed it
good policy to imitate his methods, but
In so doing they have become un
natural and have degenerated into
mere imitators.
Verdi's music has the great virtue of
being perfectly natural and normal. It
la a frank expression of the man him
self. He used his own natural method
of expression and the work Is ever
fresh and vital because he never went
outside of his own idiom, but devoted
his energies to the development of the
melodic idea within his own form. His
melodies are beautiful.
One may quarrel with the form he
used, but one can never quarrel with
the material of his form. It is not
without force, although it sometimes
borders on the trivial.
Yet when It is sung and acted in the
fashion of last evening's performance
"Rigoletto" is still potent to charm.
Perhaps an explanation of the opera's
continued popularity is to be found in
the appealing and dramatically intense
story upon which it is based. Such in
cidents as are there narrated are true
to life; they are the outcome of pas
sions old as humanity itself.
And their interpretation by the San
Carlo singers was so superb that a tri
umph was simply a matter of course.
interest last night centered largely
and naturally In the appearance of
Alice Nielsen, who sang the role of
Gllda. Miss Nielsen is in a measure
one of our own: she appeared here
often in her days as a comic opera
queen and only last season she came
to us In "Don Pasquale," a semi-grand
opera, under Mr. Russell's direction.
But this was her local debut In the
"genuine article," and the public was
eager to hear her, the more so, know
ing that Gilda Is her favorite part. No
wonder, then, that she was greeted
most lavishly.
And It may be said unqualifiedly
that last night was Alice Nielsen's
triumph, too. Los Angeles has waited
long for Just this event; doubtless she
has, also. She may even have been a
bit nervous over it, but ere the even
ing was past she certainly must have
lost any possible apprehensions in tho
glory of her success, so deservedly and
completely won.
When Miss Nielsen appeared here in
"Don Pasquale," the present writer
ventured the assertion that, while she
was hardly destined to be another
Patti, Sembrich or Melba, she yet was
wise to have deserted the opera
comique for the opera serious; that
though possibly never able to reach Its
Bublimest heights, yet it held a place
for her of great power and promise.
This event proves the prediction. Her
voice has grown in volume and range
even since her last singing here*; its
clarity and- purity are such that it has
carrying power unusual to one so light,
and even in concerted numbers and
finales it rings well above the heaviest
ensemble. The tonal quality, particu
larly in the upper notes, Is fine, and the
production is easy and free. Her voice
does not poshpsk the timbre or volume
requisite to the most magnificent sing
ers, but it makes up In freshness,
youth, sweetness and flexibility.
Her singing of Gilda's music was
marked by thorough understanding and
effect; even the famous but trying
"Caro Nome" being; Klven with excel
lent taHte and intelligence. It may not
have possessed the pyrotechnical brll
wit' which certain wondrous
soprani give it. but there wan to It the
equally desirable artistry and an ap
preciation of its dramatic significance,
whi'-h amply atoned.
And it Is also necessary to add that
Miss -■ Nielsen acted I Gilda — something
few eingerJ — better than the writer
y ever remembers seing it played. Her
youth 'and beauty, her charm and her
glrlishness, ' make her an Ideal im
personator of Rigoletto's daughter, and
she plays the purl continuously with
the attention and understanding of ap
preciative, dramatic detail rare indeed
in' any singer. The music of the duet
' with i the duke in act 1 was excellently
'done.'; and the duet with Rlgoletto In
1 act ; 2 'waß superb.
L » ,.'ltiwas, In fine,' Alice Nielsen's night
of triumph, not less because she rich
ly deserved it than . because she was
tump back to her own. She may never
lie one -of the miracles of song, this
Alice Nli'laon; the age brings miracles
put seliloin. But she will be known as
one.' of the great singers within her
own province. She may not tempt all
roles, but the group of pure light lyric
heroines is truly hers, and almost hers
alone; the world has fewer Nielsens
than Melbas, Soldi, an or Bembrichs.
.When one comes to Constantino — the
iluk«— onu's adjectives again plead
against working overtime. I'.y his own
choice ,aiul at Mlws Nielsen's request
he sang again last night — a great feat
lnI In itself after Tuesday's tremendous
work. ■ But his magnificent tenor
showed -'no signs of strain; his top
'notes were given with the same clear
ness and ease; his lyric qualities were
as grandly demonstrated, and in his
dramatic moments he was even better
than on the occasion of his debut here.
The "Questa o<quella" was superbly
rendered, and his "Donna a' Mobile, '
that well known «nd much tortured
■ aria, ■ was never , before equaled here
by anyone. His voice is of uncommon

beauty. It has the rare quality and
stamp of aristocracy, Just as has his
bearing. His ease of enunciation en
abled him to give the opening recita
tive with unusual naturalness and ef
fect, and all his arias were sung with
true Italian passion, his part in the
famous quartet being especially grand.
Fornari, who was to have appeared
in the name role, Rigoletto, is indis
posed, so the faithful Galperni took his
place. And the latter proved quite the
equal of Nielsen or Constantino in
ability and popular favor. His sing
ing was suberb; his acting wns dra
matic in the extreme and Antola-mad
as Los Angeles is, he dethroned its idol
and erected himself as a new one in
this role. Too much praise cannot be
given his masterly interpretation.
Perlnl as Sparafucile, the bravo, was
something of a revelation; he Is a
basso of more than passing interest.
Baldinl made a pretty and most satis
factory Maddalena, and Sig. File and
Madam Perazzini were satisfactory as
tho count and countess, while the
minor roles were capably taken.
Again, chorus and orchestra shone.
The former, especially the men, did
unusually fine work. The beautiful
"Zitti, Zitti" number, so often mur
dered, was delightful in its variety of
contrasts and fine shadings; the at
tacks throughout were certain and
sharp and the ensemble was perfect.
Nor did one have to wear smoked
glasses to relieve one's eyes. Slg.
Conti again wielded the baton and
played upon his musicians and singers
as upon some great organ, bringing
forth perfect harmony. Costuming,
and, so far as the dinky stage permit
ted, scenery were good.
The enthusiasm displayed by the
audience fully equaled that of the open
ing night. Nielsen was royally greeted, I
Constantino was received with a roar J
and Galperni came in for his full share. |
The popular numbers were necessarily
repeated in every case, and several
times the audience, not overly large,
was wrought up to a perfect frenzy. I
Tonight at 8 o'clock Verdi's ever I

LOS ANGELRS HERALD: THURSDAY MORNTNG. MARCH 7. 1007.
NEBRASKANS ARE
GROWING WARY
Legislature Fights Shy of Freak Meas
ure Looking Toward Municipal
Ownership of Various Pub
lic Utilities
Special to The Herald.
LINCOLN, Neb., March 6.—Advo
cates of the municipal ownership of
public utilities are so hopelessly in the
minority in the Nebraska legislature
that the time for the introduction of
bills Is over and not a single bill look
ing toward municipal ownership has
even been introduced into the legisla
ture, although when that body first
convened there was strong talk from
a dozen members of the legislature
along those lines. But the sentiment
has changed and no bills have been in
troduced; the assembly is practically
a unit against permitting any increase
in the number of Nebraska municipali
ties which have tried municipal own
ership and have, in most cases, seen a
flat failure of the idea.
The early supporters of the municipal
ownership plan were mostly from those
sections of the country where there
had been no practical experience nor
trial of public ownership, and they
talked long and loud of the "beauties
of municipal ownership of everything."
They advocated municipal ownership
of all public utilities and began the
preparation of a number of bills favor-
Ing city, county and state ownership
of most things of a semi-public nature.
But that has all passed and now noth
ing Is heard of municipal ownership,
nor have any of the bills been intro
duced Into the legislature.
Experience Brings Knowledge
The change in sentiment among the
representatives Is due to the knowledge
they have gained from those represen
tatives who live in cities where the.
municipal ownership fad has been on
trial. For instance members of the
iefe-lslature were asked to pass some
kind of a law to force tho city of
Lincoln, which owns its own water
works, to give a better service than it
has been giving in the past. The poor
service and the immense cost of the
Lincoln plant is proverbial, and the
citizens are seeking relief. It has been
necessary to bond the city three times
in twenty years In order to build three
separate water plants for Lincoln. Two
of the plants were complete failures;
the other gives the poorest service
Imaginable. The city lighting plant,
too, in in bad shape. And after the
municipal advocates had seen the
Struggle which Lincoln was having
with its two plants they began looking
around them.
Plants Prove Failure
From the representatives from
Omaha they learned of the "fall down"
and fiiilur ■ of the market houxr and
asphalt paving plants in that city and
of the terrible muddle which li;>
made of the Water works situation
there, which has cost the citizens al
ready $50,000 without a tingle thins to
show for the money expended, While
that city's iispliult plant i.s not large,
It was used only one month during 1906,
and the watchm&n'f lalary ilnce the
plant closed in 1905 has more than
equaled the cost of the plant, yet it
is< kept on hand for political pui
Over at-Tecumseh, Neb., the muni
cipal lighting plant has proven a fail
ure and there Is to be another bond is
sue to tako rare of rebuilding the
antiquated machinery which Is on the
verge of a collapse. At Fremont the
water works situation Is in confusion.
And the representatives of various
other Nebraska cities have been tell
ing the municipal ownership advocates
about the sad experiences of their
home towns along those lines and the
"advocates" have changed* faces and
are now numbered among the
"antls."

milk which is forced upon the public
in this condition.
Fishes Out a Fly
I "Henry Rich's dairy— A dairy con
sisting of twenty-seven cows, owned by
Henry Rich, who is said to sell his milk
to the Belle Vernon dairy, web next in
spected. We found a filthy corral next
to the stanchions, which the proprietor
claimed had been abandoned, but we
found fresh cow tracks in this same
corral In an adjoining corral were
horses and cows together. The pro
prietor claimed that the horses wars
kept there only during the day, As to
that we cannot say, as we were not
there during the night time. The drain
from the stanchions was poorly con
structed, allowing urine to collect
around the cow barns. We visited his
milk house and found cans of milk with
tops loosely placed over them. We
called his attention to some apparent
dirt In the milk. He ran his finger In
the milk, held It aloft and said:
" 'This is not dirt; this is a fly.'
"The milk house Is Inadequate to cool
the milk in a proper manner.
"Dochterman's dairy— A farm of
twelve cows, owned by Mr. Dochter
man, said to sell his milk to the Belte
Vernon dairy, was the same story of
filth and poor care. His stanchions
were drained into the corral where the
cows were allowed to stand. His milk
was cooled in washtubs, while his milk
house was used as a storehouse, which
is contrary to the rules of this board.
"Segrlst's dairy— We found a farm
owned by Mr. Segrlst in a fairly good
condition. He is to be commended for
at least trying to show some sense of
cleanliness.
"Musselman's dairy— Mr. Musselman's
corral was in a dirty, filthy condition,
allowing the urine from the stanchions
to empty in this corral, feeding his
cattle in the same corrol. We noticed
a number of heaps lying around in the
filth just waiting for the cattle to pick
them up. His milk house was in a
fairly good condition but poorly
screened.
Call Condition* Inexcusable
"McClure's dairy— Mr. McClure sells
his milk to the Maple Grove dairy,
which in turn makes butter for the
market. This dairy was the next In
spected. The condition was positively
Inexcusable, the stanchions were un
kept, the cows were dirty and fed in a
filthy corral. The horse stable was ad
joining the stanchion, with home
manure piled up three or four feet Just
ov/tside the stable. The horses were
standing In muck at least six Inches
or one foot in depth. Piles were buz
zing around. The result of this we can
all imagine.
"Rogers' ranch— E. C. Smith of the
Rogers' ranch has cattle which are
very poor, probably due to lack of
feed Otherwise his dairy Is In fair
condition.
"Jennings' dairy — Mr. Jennings, who
does not milk his cows but allows ma
chinery to do it for him, could, If he
would, make an ideal farm, but he has
economized too much on space, keeping
too many cows In a small corral.
"We found one apparently very sick
cow running among his herd. We asked
him If he milked that cow. He replied
that he did but used the milk to feed
his calves.
"So, gentlemen, you see a few of the
conditions of a very few dairies which i
supply a part of the milk for our city!
trade. We have at the present time !
three milk inspectors; one lately gen
erously allowed by our honorable city
council— having previously had but two
— to Inspect dairies within a radius of|
twenty miles of the center of uor city. |

"We physicians, who doal more or
less with the public and perhaps come '
In contact with the proposition more .
than the laity, appreciate this deplor
;i till ■ rolldition.
"We have Infants to feed and wonder
why it ia we cannot get results from I
milk uh a food.
"These farms should be visited at j
leust omv ii week, but with the pro?-*
ent force of milk inspectors it is Im- '
possible to do so.
"If the. honorable council will not
of their own free will allow us mole

PRESIDENT GETS AFTER RUEF
Says Abraham Is a Scoundrel and He
Would Like to Tell Him So
to His Face
Special to The Herald.
PASADENA, March 6.— Considerable
excitement has been created by the
speech made last night by President
George C. Gates of Pomona college,
who acted as toastmaster at the an
nual dinner of the Vermont Society
of Southern California. President
Gates, in commenting on a speech
made by former Assemblyman John
A. Goodrich, gave Abe Ruef a most
bitter dressing down.
His remarks created a sensation, and
in the official reports of the meeting
no mention Is made of the episode at
all. Goodrich had just called upon the
Vermonters to rally for better govern
ment in the state, and President Gates
took up the trend of his remarks.
"When I think of San Francisco
dominated by Ruefr" President Gates
is credited with having said, "my
very blood boils." President Gates is
then reported to have asserted that
Ruef is a scoundred and several other
things, and to have also expressed a
willingness to make the same remarks
to Ruef in person if he could but con
front that worthy.
BURGLAR SHOOTS AT CITIZEN
F. R. Hill Surprises Chicken Thief and
Is Nearly Killed for Hit
Hardihood
Special to The Herald.
PASADENA, March 6.— There were
lively doings near the> corner of El
Molino avenue and Highland street
late last night, when a rancher named
F. R. Hill surprised a man near his
chicken coop. Hill called to the man
and his answer was a shot.
The rancher then went into his
house for a gun and when he returned
to the yard the man and a coop con
taining forty-three chickens were miss
ing. From tracks about the place left
by the man who had fired Hill thought
he recognized the marks of an acquain
tance and the police at about 4
o'clock this morning arrested George
W. Howard on the charge of having'
burglarized the chicken coop.
Howard was brought before Justice
Klamroth today and was ready to ad
mit the crime charged to him. He
said that he can only account for his
nets from the fact that he had been
drinking.
Justice Klamroth fixed bail at $1000
and set Howard's examination for
Saturday morning next.
