11:80 o'clock Wednesday night.
And Madam Ober as an actor
ghould be referred to. For example,
econsider the task of belng a woman

dressed in woman's clothes; that is,
a woghan behaving as a man would
behave if he were trving to behave
as & woman would behave {f she
were a man behaving a 8 a woman:
You can flgure that out at leisure
and then take a day off to wonder at
i the hiatrionic ability of Mrs, Ober.
In place of the four sandwich pa
rades Monday night, there were only
two at the Cavaller, the reason be
ing in no way a reluctance of soclety
to see and be seen, but simply the
mechanical impossibility of sand
wiching more than two parades
among three acts, Of course, there
was a bit of boulevardiering before
the first curtain and after the las*;

Fullest Vote on
I
Grady Bond Issue
In order to secure the largest vote
poasible on the proposed Grady bond
lssue an effort was made Thursday
to change several of the polling
booths so that they will be nearer to
those chosen for the county primary.
Originally it was planned to erect
partitions in the county booths so that
both elections could be held in tbe
gsame polling places, but this waw
found impossible on account of the
size of many places decided upon by
the (‘nunt_‘y.
ity €lerk Walter Taylor, Dr.
W. 8 BRikin and J, 0. Cochran,
gecretary of the County Executive
Committee, visited the various
wards, and it is llkely the va
rious wards, and it {s likely that sev
eral changes will be made {n the lo
cation of the Grady booths, As much
as possible the polling 'places will be
located next to those of the county,
<o that the voters will not be incon
venienced, S e S

‘MASKED BALL' TALE OF |
17TH CENTURY BOSTON!
¢ roval censorship, the
place in'd first for the plot of the
“Masked Ball” was changed from
Burope to America, and the col
ony around Boston selected for
the setting. The time is at the
close of the seventeenth century.
Count Richard, the Governor of
the colony, indiscreetly falls In
love with Amella, wife of his sec
retary. Amelia reciprocates this
love, but also realizes the indis
cretion of it all, and in order to
subdue her love for the Governor
she consults Ulrica, the astrolo
ger, as to a means whereby she
may forget him.
Ulrica recommends the julce of
a certain herb, growing {n the
execution grounds, which potion
will cause forgetfulness of one's
objects of love. However, In or
der to insure the effectiveness of
the cure, the herb must be
plucked by the person for whom
the cure is intended, and at the
hour of midnight. The condi
tions surrounding the gathering
of the herb frighten Amelia ter
ribly, but she resolves to get it
that same night.
It so happens that the Govern
or and a party of friends have
disguised and gone to the as
trologer, Ulrica, just for a lark,
and he hears the confession of
Amelia, and the directions for the
cure, and plans to follow her to
the place where the plant grows.
At midnight Richard meets
Amella at the lonesome spot and
while they are conversing Ame
lia’s husband, Renato, who knows
of the trip for amusement that he
has gone upon, hastens there aft
er him to give warning of a plot
to destroy him.
Renato succeeds in persuading
Richard to go home alone, but
Richard exacts a prgmise upon
oath from Renato that he will see
that the lady !s returned safely
to her home, and that he will not
attempt to remave her vell nor to
find out !n any way who she is
While on thelr way home Re

Strauss Opera Art Triump
e i deork o ok o
Aud Not Enthusiasti
‘ . r.
By Mortimer Wilson.
(Direetor Philharmonic Orchestra.) e
About the same enthusinsm existed for the opera itself, last nighs
as was shown for “Cyrano,” which was given on last years prograin o
opera in Atlanta. One may best judge of the popular opinion of the audi
ence by many remarks heard during and after (mostly during!) the pel
formance. A few of these choicest critielsms follow : I thought you ot i
it was tuneful.” “‘Well, when do they begin the waltzes?" “Isn’t it awiih
long? “This is certainly not my idea of music.” “The music Is =0 =it
tesque, and so weird.” [ can't hear any tune at all, and the orchestra
makes so much noise,” etc.
But withal, only a few of the vast audience had the temerity to leave
the Auditorfum at the close of the first act, resolved, no doubt, to find
some amusement less strenuous. :
However, the bulk of the audience reveled in the clever work of" a
modern master given by glorious artists. Never again during the present
week of our gala musical event shall we have quite the consummation of
composer and artists, though our general expericnce will cause some to be
happy over the fact that the remaining portion of the program will con
sist of works requiring much less effort on the part of the listener.
+Trainmg Is Beneficial, Anyway.
" The interest manifested in the work by all was most encouraging to
‘the outlook of subsequent appreclation of this and other late works, and
‘while no works need be goo(? because of being new alone, our training has
‘had from last night's performance a long boost in the right direction, the
‘effect of which will be evident in the future.
\ With the entrance of the great Hertz came a tremendous applause
from every hand in the house. No one commaunds more respect 8 & Con
‘ductor than Hertz—his very appearance speaks confidence and power. The
‘audience, as well as orchestra and singers, feels his mastery, knowing full
‘well that qualms may cease, Hertz iat the helm. In the overture we heard
‘many characteristics of instrumentation for which Strauss is famonus, and
'while the work is much more Incid than former ones of this composer, there
‘are a few spots which betray his underlying motive to write a light opera, by
}reverting to his inimitable mastery of the material when not circumseribed
iby conditions in lighter vein. As usual, the sudience insisted upon talk
ing throughout the overture, being under the Impression that the opera does
‘not begin until the curtain is drawn. These conversationalists should know
that the overture is planned as a preparation to the material which is soon
to follow, and 1f listened to will clear up many spots in the later develop
ments by at least furnishing one more hearing of the themes comprigng |
the work. ' 1‘
' The boudoir scene revealed Frieda Hempel. as the Countess, and Mar
garete Ober, as Octavian, locked in each other's arms, in which prosimity
they remained, figuratively (and to the audience’s appreciation) during the
entire performance. We have never had the pleasure to witness a more
evenly balanced easting of characters and singers than the Strauss setting
makes possible In this instance. While we are impressed with the sepa rate
importance of each of the parts, musieally and otherwise, we nevertheless
bhestow our graciousness upon them equally. |
Ober’s Voice and Acting Charm. |
Ober’s magnificent volce, together with her absolute character change
from the part of the previous afternoon’s performance of the Gypsy to the
Rose Bearer, gave opportunity to judge of her immenge versatility. At no
time was she more charming than in the scenes which showed her as u
woman, first disguised as a man, redisguised as a maid! FEach movement,
every tone, and all conditlons bespoke the careful study of an artist en
dowed with a magnificent volce, a rare acting ability, and an unswrpassed
Industry.
The always lovable volce of Frieda Hempel, as the Countess, charmei
every listener. Hempel possesses that admirable quallty, womanly grace,
unadulterated, and this, together with her clever artistry, makes for a real
soprano. Such a voice quality as she has penetrates to every part of the
house, carrying with it sweetness and repose. Anna Case, in the part of
Sophia, had ample opportunity to please ns with a charming voice and a
nicely balanced acting ability. Rita Fornla and Marie Mattfeld gave ns
much pleasure with their personifications of Jungfer Marianne and Annin:.
The Baron Ochs, with Otto Goritz, left us with the impression that
he had stepped out the days of rustic chivalry, and with a voice of tre
mendous power, coupled with a matchless conception of the part, left us
completely satisfied. Robert leonhardt, in the role of Sophia's father,
Faninal, supplied no less admirable activity whenever he was in evidonre.h
