As a favorable Influence In the stock mar ket. tha deal by wblch the Hill system will gain another Pacific Coast outlet, via tha Western Pacific Railroad, lost Its effect today.

Another big audience, typically Port- landeique in it understanding and ap preclatlon of what is good In music. crowded tha Ilolllg Theater last even lng to witness the second performance. given with an entirely new cast principals, in Puccini's latest grand opera. "The Girl of tha Golden West. Like some stranger on whom ona calls first out of curiosity and goes again to see because the acquaintance la worth cultivating, tbia American book, set to Italian music, proves even mora Impressively beautiful on second visiting. And It affords opportunity to segregate the music from the dramatlo action, to study each separately and apart from the other, jnst aa one reads a good book first for tha atory It tells and a second time for the value of Its English. In "Th Girl of tha Golden West.' tha genius of tha composer Is entitled to full recognition, despite the what at first may appear as apparent Incon gruity of hi desire to portray In his best musical style what was undoubt edly to him entirely alien conditions, people and Impulses. "Madame Butter fly." charmingly individual, was like wise at first regarded as Incongruous, Inasmuch as its setting was Japanese and its music Italian. Savage Production Lavish. Henry W. Savage, invariably prod igal In his embellishment of a produc tlon, whether it be opera or drama, has been especially Lavish In this corabin lng of the two his pet and favored stage-story and Puccinnl' splendid mu sic. Whether or no the beautifully de scrlptlve theme of "The Girl," with Its dose-woven poetry and passion of the early California days, has been dove tailed with the great music to which Puccini ha set It. Is a mooted ques tion, and one that any critical consld eratlon at this late day would prove profitless. Considered apart from a strict no steal standpoint, tha production has tremendous dramatic value. There is no disturbing bit of prefunctory acting on the part of any of the participants at any time in the relating, virtues which of themselves ara accentuated when one recalls the staginess and ob vious theatricals of the usual run of grand opera choruses yea. and of prin cipals, too who have visited Portland. Naturally an opora written for the moat part In recitative gives the In dividual singers less chance to display their artistic possessions. High Level Reacberf. Ivy Scott's portrayal, both musically and dramatically, of the role of Min nie Is genuine creative art; her lovely high-soaring soprano voice Is of a quality adequate for tha entire role. Her acting rises to positive genius In her scenes of stormy passion when she learns of Rammerrez' supposed perfidy. nd In her earlier bits with him her coquetry is delightfully charming and dainty. Miss Scott Is amazingly rem iniscent of Blanche Bates in her meth ods, which Is particularly noticeable in her fine repression rather than display of deep emotion. To her altogether Bplendld delinea tion of the role Miss Scott adds two ttributea each In Itself rare one Is physical beauty and grace, tha other Is an excellent enunciation that waa most gratefully welcomed. Umberto Sacchettl In the role of Ramerre has a pliant, richly mellow tenor, wblch he sends out with an ar tistic reserve that strikes appeolingly. Too, be invests his every line with a serious dignity, pnrasmg mem witn the force and enthusiasm of the capable actor and with the artlstio worth of I his splendid voice. His histrionic abll ltr alone waa dominant In power. Thomas Chalmers sung the roia oi the sheriff last evening and sung most pleasingly in a basso of the most meritorious style and character. Lewys James, who sings exceedingly well in a finely trained baritone, was the Sonora of last evening's cast. The Savage company Is a large one and evidences tha exceptional care given to Its training. The orchestra tion last evening under the fine di rection of Polacco's assistant Caesar Sodero, consists of 45 instruments and the audience found as much real en joyment In the Instrumentation as In the vocalization.

In that time, however, she ha learned amazingly and by som un- over her restaurant adventures. Her sense of humor really works overtime despite the fact that in her profession al work she Is most serious. Jumping; from goulash to the role of Minnie her voice and manner became instantly quietly tense. "I do not think it 1 necessary I should have known your West, to have met a type like Minnie to be able to portray her," she said. "Women are all alike at heart the world over. My Minnie I make dramatic, and I really sro with her through every bit of that play. "The singing Is, however, to me the more Important. If I could not sing I should die.
