"Cnvnllorin Rustionnn," or "Rus tle Chlvnlry," is nu oporn in ono oot by Piotro Mnsoagnl. Tho scono is laid in n Sioilinn villngo, tho curtain rising on a public sqttnro, ono sido of which is ocuupiod by a church, tho other by Mother Luoins' inn.

At the finish of tliis soono, Turiddu follows Lola Into the, ohuroh, nftor brutally striking Snntuzzn to tho ground. Alfio now returns to attend service and Snntnzr.n, in n frenzy of grief, rovenls to him tho perfidy of his wifo, nnd in tho great duet, "Their niood Shnll Flow," Alfio swenrs to bo nvonged nnd rushes awny, follow ed by tho unhappy girl.

"I Pngliacoi" (pronounced Pah! ynt-ciiol, or "Tlio t towns," is a tragio oporn in two acts mid n pro loguoi. byLeoncuvullo, wjjjho, fol lowing east : Canio (in tho play, Punchinello), a clown r Nodda (in the may, Colum bmo), his wifo; Toiuo, another ulown ; Peppo (in the piny, . Ilorlo quin), ono of tho troupe j' Silvio, Neddu's lover. In tho prologuo, surg inTfront of tho curtain, n hint is given of the coming gloom by Tonio, who sings that bnok of tho motley and linsol of tho clowns, human hearts nro boat ing with passion the snmo ns ours, Antoln, who will sing tins pnrt hero, is undoubtedly tho best intorprotor of this rolo on tho operatic stngo. "Pngltnooi" is n play within n piny, Tho plot ooucorus itself witlr tho mombor8 of.n trnvoling troupe of plnyors, nnd tho sceno opens with thoir nrnvnl nt nn Italian villngo nnd thoir warm welcome by the. curious uihtlbilnuts. After announcing tho play for the ooiing, tho players rjs tire, leaving the stngo to the chorus, who sing tho benittifttl "Doil Chorus 1. .1... ..II ..! l.7 41 mil. II uutvut-' llltlt ill! la uui l"lx mony in tho littlo troupe;' Neddn is far too nttrnotivo nnd not only does sho possess a husbnnd, Cunio, whom she does not love, but two lovers ns woll. . Tonio is mndly in lovo with her, but sho is enamoured of Silvio, n villngor, nnd scornfully rojoots.thc advances of tho clown, finally out ting him noross the fnco with i whip when ho tries to embrnco her, nnd thoreby scouring his notivo enmity, Ovorhonring her plnnning to elope with Silvio, Tonio rushes nwny to inform Cntiio, who is drinking ut the tnvorn. Cnnto comos quiokly, but Silvio esenpes ovor 'tho woll without Canio boiug nblo to recognizo him, and Neddn ennnot bo torrified into disclosing his identity. Cnnip is nbout to kill his unfaithful wifo when Poppo interforos, wnrniiy? him thnt it is timo to prepare for the performance, and tho not ends with Cnnio's touching lament, the burden of which is thnt he must go on tho stage, play tho clown, nnd make poo plo laugh when his own henrt is brenking. .Neddn's "Bird Song" nnd tho following duet with Silvio are especially admirable numbers in the first not. Aftor nn intormozzo thnt is a close second to tho ono in "RustioaUn," tho second net opons with tho rus.tio nudienoo assembling at tho little tho. ntor, with Neddn collecting tho ad mission feos and incidontnlly mnnng insr to get a wdrd With Silvio. When tho curtain on tho rude stage is drawn asido, it soon becomes appar ent thnt tho play is a roplioa of tho state of affairs existing in tho troupo. Nodda. as Columbine, is nlono on tho stngo, listoning to. the tender songs of Harlequin, her lavor. in the piny, Tonio, ns Tnddes, tho fool, enters to servo them with food, and just as he has dope a few hours before in real life, ho now makes lovo to hor and she repulsos hira haught ily. To comploto tho resemblance, the fool brings back the wronged husbnnd, who finds Columbine and her lover dining morrily together nnd plotting to poison 'Punchinollo. But the nngor which Punohinollo" shows soon becomos too terriblo in quality to bo morely nctiug? and even the audience begins to realize this. Whan Punchinello rushes, upon Columbine, and in maddonod tones again de mands the name of her lover, they feel that it is a Teal tragedy that is developing under their ovos. Nedda sees her necossity nud enlls, upon Silvio in the nudienco to savo her. He leaps upon the stage, but is too lato, for Canio has stabbed his err ing wifo and with hts dripping blade turns and stabs Silvio', too. Then Canio turns to the audience as If ia a daze and says hoarsely, "Go, the comedy, is ended." 1 i, Harlequin's serenade, swig befeind the scenes of the mimio theater, and the orchestral musio accomwnyiug the little playare most beautiful uni make this fiery melodrama one of the best products of (ha i&cdera Italian stfcool.
