'MME. BUTTERFLY'
WELL PRESENTED
LAMBARDI SINGERS HEARD TO
GOOD ADVANTAGE
MME. CALV! IS FINE IN TITLE
ROLE
Chevalier Nadal Makes Thankless
Part a Success by Reason of
His Magnificent
Voice
Florence Bosard Lawrence
With a brilliant cast and a beau
tiful production, the Lambardi com
pany presented Puccini's tragic opera,
"Madame Butterfly," last night before
the largest nudienco of the week.
"While purporting to present one phnso
of occidental life, the pl< depict! in
reality the tragedy of thousands of
lives with its story of trusting wom
anhood, cherished and protected for a
space, then when dependent and thor
oughly helpless through maternal
cares, left to face the problems of life
and to see her lover turn from her to
the object of a newer passion.
It does teem, however, that Mr.
Belatco might have made the lot of
poor little Butterfly a .little easier if
he had D<>* w"l the new wife of her
child's father to witness her humilia
tion. The part of Kate Pinkerton is
always played by some one with cal- I
lous "mien, and yet the scene of grfcf
and heartbreak which follows her ap
pearance is N Violent and despairing,
that even the bride, ."nfident in her
husband's love, must feel that she lias
heaped too much sorrow upon the lit
tle Japanese girl.
The music of this opera has become
generally familiar since its first pre
senation here by the Savage company
some two years ago. and needs little
description at this time. Like all the
Puccini music it is a composite of
beautiful motifs, brief haunting mel
odic phrases and presents pictures of
vivid color and tragic portent.
Even the marriage music and all
that goes to make the first act pic
turesque and bright has a suggestive
•undertone as of half suppressed sobs.
In the second act the music that ac
companies the preparations for Pinker
ton's return, while assuming to be
light and full of joy, is pregnant with
foreboding, only suggested at the first
hearing, but becoming more and more
apparent as the music grows more
familiar to the ear.
Mme. Calvi in Role
The opera offered one new finger,
Madame .Marina Calvi, in the role of
Cho Cho San. Much interest has been
aroused concerning this singer, and
most nattering notices of her interpre
tation of this character have come
Irom eastern points. Vocally hsr fit- .
ness for the role is evident. Her voice
has sympathy and an emotional timbre
in every tone. It is vibrant and ex
pressive to a degree, and under excel
lent control. That it is slightly low
for the higher portions of the music is
not a discredit to the voice, for this
vole demands perhaps a wider latitude
in range than any one other soprano
role, while the continuous singing that
is required makes it impossible to allow
the vocal organs even the least time for
recovery.
In appearance Calvi -was not quite in
the pi< uu c. She is a trille large, and
not so easy in her acting as a merry
little Japanese brido might be. In the
■ i and third acts this stifeness dis
appeared i" a large degree, and in the
s with the child she was sweetly
rnal. The child, by the way, was
; beautiful little fellow, and delighted
every one with his grace and smiles,
■which in the last act only caused the
terns to flow the more quickly.
Mme. A. Bugamelli sang the difficult
music of Susuki with good effect. She
displayed line dramatic possibilities in
last act too, and her scene with
Pinkerton and Sharpless was well done.
Xadal, as Pinkerton, succeeded in
giving this rather thankless role a dis
tinct success by reason of his magnifi
cent voice. A clear high tenor with
■wide range, and guided by masicianly
spirit, is so rare a find that Signor
Lambardi ought to value highly this
adfted singer. The part of the young
American naval officer demands more
than a beautiful voice, although with
out that the part would be unbearable.
It needs the intuition which is another
name for the best artistry, and it needs
us well considerable drama.tic ability.
distil.r Xadal fulfilled these require
ments with good measure and received
un enthusiastic appreciation from his
audience, which betokened fresh tri
umphs when he makes another appear
ance.
Favorite as American Consul
Angelo Antola, favorite, with loci!
audiences, sings the part of Sharpless,
the American consul, with a broad un
derstanding of the dramatic possibili
ties of the part, and that ready con
ception of artistic singing -which has
made him famous in every role he at
tempts. It is a far cry from Rigoletto
or Tonin with their striking CMtumes
and all the assistance of excellent
character make-up to that of this con
ventional American citizen in business
euit and derby hat, yet Antola makes
the move from these two earlier roles
with grace and winning surety. His
voice lies well for this part and the
songs allow him to appear to excellent
advantage.
A correction of one earlier notice Is
needed here. In mentioning the Count
de Luna in "II Trovatore" I gave to
Signor Maggi that praise which in fact
belonged to Antola, who had hnd hur
riedly substituted in the role, after the
programs were printed. It is unfor
tunate, Indeed, to have made such a
mistake concerning these artists, who
are so deserving- of favorable com
ment.
A. Neri, who snne: the part of Qoro
the marriage broker, was excellent,
and V. Viola at the Bonze made th ■
most of his brief opportunity. Other
singers cast for the principal roles
Puritas Tested by Time
A Perfect Product
It's only newcomers who need ad
vlce aa to Puritas Distilled Water.
Old residents have for many years
been users of Puritas—regarding It as
.a household necessity— a. luxury that
is economy in the best sense.
All natural water contains vegetable
impurity. The natural water here
abouts is alkaline—containing mineral
matter that constant use renders
harmful—tending, to rheumatism and
Kidney troubles.
Puritas by its two distillations Is
absolutely free from any impurity. It
seems like natural water In its spark
ling freshness, because it Is aerated
with pure ozone.
Puritas—the only twice distilled and
ozonated water—s gallons 40 cants.

were Mme. A. Glani as Kate Pinker
ton,, P. Bugamelli as Prince Ynnia
ilori and later as as Yakuside. C. Mori
and Signor Artimo In small parts.
This opera will be repeated with the
same singers Saturday afternoon, and
will undoubtedly receive the compli
ment of another sold-out house, for of
all tho work the company has done
hero nothing has been more generally
satisfactory that this beautiful Jap
anese opera.
The bill tonight will be "Faust."

CASCADE STORMS
DELAYING TRAINS
SCHEDULE IGNORED IN NORTH
ERN MOUNTAINS
Snow Falling In the Heights and Rain
In the Lower Levels of the
Puget Sound
Country
SEATTLE. Feb. 24.—Snow is still
falling heavily in the Cascade moun
tains and on the lower levels of the
Puget Sound country rain is descend
ing with no prospects of an early ces
sation of the storm. The Northern
Pacific, Great Northern and Milwaukee
they can, with no attention to sched
ules, and travelers have weary waits
while snow plows attack the drifts. A
i traveling theatrical company played
"The Merchant of Venice" on a stalled
train ninety miles east of Seattle last
night to amuse the passengers.
At the crest of the Cascades the
snowfall is at the rate of nearly two
inches an Hour. Freight service on the
railroads was practically abandoned a
week ago. There will be great danger
of floods in the lower country in two
days when the water reaches the
larger channels.
SNOW-BOUND PASSENGERS
ARE TAKEN TO DENVER
DENVER, Feb. 24.—HungTy but
happy, two trainloads of passengers
readied Denver today on the Colorado
Midland railroad after having been
snowbound a few miles east of Lead
ville, some of them for three days.
Seven trains were blocked within a
short distance of one another.
Heavy snows in the higher altitudes
had been causing- trouble for several
days, but it was thought the snow
plows would be able to cope with the
situation, so trains were sent out as
usual in both directions, but finally the
blockade got too heavy for the snow
plows. One of the latter was derailed
seven times in trying to reach the
scene of the delay.
Passengers announce that both food
and fuel had given out several hours
before they were • rescued, and that
things became exceedingly serious. A
committee of passengers was organized
several times and made trips of s*v
eral miles to towns for food. After
the fuel was exhausted many of the
passengers took to their beds to keep
warm.
MANY POOR IN CHICAGO
APPLY FOR ASSISTANCE
CHICAGO, Feb. 24.—Gauged by the
number of poor who have applied for
assistance at the twelve stations of the
United Charities of Chicago, this has
been the severest winter in several
decades. _. ..
Superintendent Klngsley of the Unit
ed Charities said: "Into the dozen re
lief headquarters of the United Char
ities thousands of victims of the cold
have been flocking, and yesterday's re
newal of the frigid weather, when it
went to 6 below zero, indicated the
endurance of Chicago's poor was near
the snapping point.
"Where 200 has been the ordinary
number of a days appeals, there were
over 300 yesterday."
RUSSIA PROPOSES
OWN RAILWAY PLAN
Makes Alternative Suggestion Follow.
ing Announcement That England
and U. S. Were to Finance
the Manchurian Line
ST PETERSBURG, Fob. 24.—An
alternative to the railroad plan set
forth in Secretary Knox'l recent note
to the powers may be expected from
the Russian government soon.
Russia will surest that instead of
the proposed Aigun-Chinchow rail
way there shall be constructed another
trans-Mongolian line further west
ward.
This route would not be open to
strategic objections to the Aigun line,
since it touched the Russian railroad
at a point where Russian troops could
be easily assembled.
The foreign office professes to be
lieve that the line it suggests ivouH
be far more profitable than the Aigun
project, since it would follow the great
caravan route over which all land ex
ports to Europe pass. The interested
powers will be sounded as a prelimi
nary to the advancement of the formal
proposal.
The American memorandum, in
addition to proposing the neutrality of
the Mnnohurian railways, announced
that a syndicate composed of Ameri
cans and Englishmen had obtained
from China a concession for the con
struction of a railroad from Aigun,
in northern Manchuria, to Chinchow,
and that the governments of Great
Britain and the United States proposed
to support the enterprise diplomat
ically.
Russia rejected the neutralization
proposed, but took the second sugges
tion under further advisement before
deciding whether it would approve the
plan and share in the financing in
volved. As a result of the deliberation
the government will propose an al
ternative proposition.
RAILROAD TUNNEL CAVES IN
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 24.—Traffic
over the coast line of the Southern Pa
cific was interrupted late last night by
the caving in of forty-eight feet of the
tunnel near Santa Margarita, in San
Luis Obispo county. No one was in
jured In the accident, which occurred
when the tunnel was clear of trains.

CHAMPION TO
WED VENICE GIRL
MISS NADEAU HOWEY WINS
HIS HEART
BOTH AFFECTED BY LOVE AT;
FIRST SIGHT
Young Woman Is Daughter of Widow
Cafe Proprietor Where Wpl
gast Boarded While
Training
[Special to The Herald. 1
VENICE, Feb. 24.—Miss Nadeau
Honey, tho Southern California girl
to whom Ad Wolgast, champion light
weight pugilist of the world, declares
he has lost his heart, is a resident of
Venice. She is the only daughter of j
Mi's. Ella D. Howey, a widow, who is <
proprietor of the Lido cafe. The an
nouncement of the engagement of Wol- !
gast and Miss Howey created little
surprise here, as the two were Seen \
together frequently during the past
year and it has been whispered for
some time that the Milwaukee Dutch
man had fallen a victim to the charm
ing smile of the Venetian girl.
Mrs. Howey, mother of the miss who
will wed the champion in the not very
distant future, did not care to discuss
the affair today, professing- a desire to
avoid all notoriety. She refused either
to corroborate or deny the reported
engagement, saying:
"That is a matter that I will leave
the young people to settle for them
selves. 1 will say nothing about it. If
my daughter wants to tell her plans to
the papers, that is her affair, but I
prefer to remain silent. She is now
with the Jones-Wolgast party at San
Francisco and will return to Southern
California soon."
Miss Howey went north previous to
the championship battle, accompany
ing Mrs. Tom Jones, wife of the man
ager of Wolgast. They witnessed the
victory of Wolgast and Miss Howey
is said to have been among the first
to congratulate the Milwaukee boy.
Barely twenty years of age. Miss
Howey is considered one of the most
charming girls of this section. She is
a talented elecutlonlst and reader, hav
ing spent three years in study at
Comnock school, Los Angeles. Accord
ing to her friends, it always has been
her desire to go on the stage, but to
this proposition her mother has stead
fastly objected.
The first meeting of Wolgast and
Miss Howey is said to have occurred in
the cafe conducted by her mother. For
some time she assisted her mother by
acting as cashier at the cafe.
About a year a-r Wolgast came
here to train and began taking meals
at the cafe. According to others in
terested in the young people, there
seemed to be a mutual attraction from
Uie beginning and soon the two openly
exhibited deep friendship, which rap
idly ripened into love. From the first
meeting, Miss Howey. her friends say.
has taken a decided interest in the ca
reer of Wolgast. and when she was
invited by Mrs. Jones to join the party
to attend the big bout at San Fran
cisco she gladly accepted.
Friends of the family say that Mrs.
Howey strenuously objected to Miss
Nadeau becoming interested in Wol
gast but her objections have been of
no avail. Mrs. Howey refused also to
discuss this feature of the case. The
Howeys have resided in California for
fifteen years, most of which time was
spent at Los Angeles. T'.e- moved to
Venice about two years ago. They
came to California from South Dakota.

KLING MUST MAKE
GOOD WITH EVIDENCE
National Commission Requires Him
and President Murphy to
Show a Cause for
Reinstatement
CINCINNATI, Feb. 24—John Kling,
former star catcher of the Chicago Na
tional league baseball team, must show
cause to the national baseball commis
sion why he should be restored to good
standing as a player. This mandate is
also extended to the management of
the Chicago club. Because of a lack of
evidence, the supreme court of baseball
today refused to take final action on
Kling's petition for reinstatement. Ihe
case was discussed at length and then
laid over for future consideration.
Kling and President Murphy of the
Chicago club are asked to furnish the
commission with copies of all the corre
spondence that has passed between
them since the close of the playing sea
son of 1908. They are given five days
in which to present this evidence.
\n early resumption of the case is not
likely as it is stated that President B.
B Johnson of the American league,
who is a member of the commission, is
to depart shortly for the Pacific coast
for a stay of some Jays.
KLING WILLING TO GIVE
COMMISSION ALL EVIDENCE
KANSAS CITY, Feb. 24.—"1 am per
fectly willing to submit all the evidence
in my possession to the national com
mission," said John Kling today. "The
only statement I am prepared to make
to the national commission is that I
put practically all I had into a private
enterprise in this city and had to re
main here to look after it. When the
management of the Chicago club re
alized my situation I was given an
indefinite leave of absence."
