THE SUNDAY OREGONIAX, PORTLAND, DECE3IBER 9, 1906,
New Yorkers Revel in Grand Opera
"Romeo and Juliet" Is the Opening Bill and Crowded House Greets the New Stars and Chorus.
TEW YORK, Dec. 3 (Special Corre
spondence.) Once more the opera
season Is open in New Tork, and
notwithstanding In what way the Metro
politan may be affected by anything in
the future, the opening was us brilliant
as could well be conceived. The house was
crowded to its utmost capacity and so
ciety was out in full force. The brilliancy
in the boxes was quite on a par with that
on the stage. The stage,' too, was far
more resplendent than usual because it
will be remembered that everything was
burnt and destroyed' In San BYancisco
and everything that attaches to a stage
production' was new. A large number of
the. chorus and many of the stars were
strangers, most distinguished of these
were Ueraldine Farrar and Charles Rous
Kelicre. the French tenor, both of 'whom
iippeared in the title roles of Romeo and
- Juliet. This opera, also by Gounod, is
perhaps the most serious rival that his
own "Faust" has for "opening nights,"
and under the Maurice-Grau regime one
could figure a year ahead that that would
he the choice for the ttrst performance.
Iast year this opera was not given at all,
but it served well to present Miss Farrar,
who comes back as one of the American
sinners, after having established herself
firmly in the operatic circles of Europe.
MIm Bella Alton, Who Appeared in
"1 Boheme.".
Miss Farrar has a beautiful voice, but
not to the degree of giving her the posi
tion she enjoys in the art world. How
ever, to this voice is added extreme
beauty and she is an actress of rare tal
ents. In fact were she not a singer at
all it hi not to be doubted that she would
have been among the greatest actresses
of this country. She was ideal in the
part of Juliet. Rousseliere, who made his
first appearance, was very attractive In
the role of Romeo. He also has pro
nounced dramatic authority and ability
and he gave a very satisfactory delinea
tion of the role. Toward the end of the
evening his voice was in very much better
condition than early and while it is pow
erful and of good quality there were
many times when it was strident and
"acid. One of the most Interesting of the
newcomers was Georgino von Janus
chowsky formerly known in Wagnerian
opera and in private life as Mme. Neuen
dorff, wife of the well-known conductor,
Adolf Neuendorff, who died here seven or
eight years ago. The conductor was also
new and made a very telling Impression.
He is M. Samuel Bovy, who directed with
great animation and energy. The instru
ments of the orchestra were practically
all new and the result of Mme. Sem
brich's concert last Spring to replace
those lost In the San Francisco disaster.
Tho old favorites In the cast Included

The display of jewels In the boxes was
something dazzling and glowing to the
last degree. The gowns were simply In
describable and the shifting of colors was
almost as picturesque as the stage set
tings. The most noted absentee was
Mrs. Astor, who is recovering from a
very severe illness. Not until the con
clusion of the second act did Mrs. Astor's
daughter, Mrs. Orme Wilson, appear in
the Astor box. She was gowned In dull
pink chiffon covered with empire leaves
In gold. J. Plerpont Morgan and Mrs.
Morgan were in their box early. Mr. and
Mrs. Herbert Satterlee. his daughter and
son-in-law and MLss Morgan were in the
box with them. Mrs. George Gould was a
guest in the box of Mrs. Henry Clews.
She wore a crown of 'diamonds and a
superb sky-blue satin robe heavily
trimmed in silver. The corsage was cov
ered with diamonds and pearls and she
wore a diamond necklace. The hostess,
Mrs. Clews, was resplendent in a currant
red velvet Empire gown with one shoul
der fcand of the velvet and the other a
scarf of pale-blue satin. She wore an
Empire girdle of silver and a diamond
necklace and headdress. Guests in the
box of Mr. and Mrs. William K. Vander
bilt were Mr. and Mrs. T. A. Havemeyer.
Mrs. Havemeyer is a sister of Mrs. Van-

derbilt. Mrs. Vanderbilt wore black
velvet with point lace sleeves and ropes
of pearls. Another Vanderbilt box was
occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Harry Payne
Whitney, while Mr. and Mrs. Reginald C
Vanderbilt were guests in the box of Mrs.
E. R. Thomas, a new box holder this
year. Mrs. Vanderbilt was in mauve vel
vet literally covered with diamonds about
her neck and on the bodice. Mrs. Harry
Payne Whitney was also in mauve vel
vet with a low tiara of jewels In her hair.
Mrs. William D. Sloane, whose diamonds
are perhaps the most celebrated in New
York, wore emerald green velvet with
white lace and pearls. Mr. and Mrs. Sloan
were in the box with the German Am
bassador. One might devote three or four
volumes of fashion papers to the descrip
tion of the gowns and then half would
not be told. These are the scenes which
literally must be witnessed to be ap
preciated. The second performance was perhaps
in a certain sense of more interest than
the opening night, all of whom wondered
what would be the reception accorded
to Caruso on his first appearance since
his disagreeable notoriety. The opera se
lected was "La Boheme" and the cast in
cluded besides Caruso, Mme. Sembrich,
Miss Bella Alton. Scotti, Journet, Sim
ard, Dufriche, Rossi and Paroli. Vigna
was the conductor. It was long before
Caruso was willing to come before the
footlights alone, and each time insisted
r "

upon sharing his applause with Mme.
Sembrich. After his aria in the middle
of his act he was recalled six times.
Four times he returned leading Mme.
Sembrich. There were cries for Caruso
and Mme. Sembrich. The fifth time she
broke away from him, leaving him alone.
He seemed much affected and it was dif
ficult to realize how he mustered his
forces sufficiently to sing as he did,
because in every particular he was thor
oughly the artist.
Thursday afternoon there was a special
Thanksgiving matinee, ' when Humper

was seen. There was an enormous audi
ence, as is always the case at holiday
time. This was the first appearance of
the season of Alfred Hertz, one of the
mjost popular among the operatic con
ductors. Those who appeared in the cast
were Mmes. Mattfeld, Alten, Homer,
Weed, Braendle, Glanville and M. Goritz.
Friday night witnessed the first Wagner
performance and the debut of two noted
German artists, Mme. Fleischer-Edel and
Carl Burrian. In addition to these the
reappearance of Olive Fremstad was met
with greatest enthusiasm by the very
large audience. Other members of the
cast included Bella Alten, Van Rooy, Rob

The coming week there will be two new
productions of enormous importance.
These are "Fedora," by Giordano, com
poser of "Andre Chenler," and "Damna
tion of Faust," by Berlioz.
...
The musical event of the week was. the
pair of philharmonic concerts given Fri
day afternoon and Saturday night. The
soloist upon this occasion was Maud
Powell, who played for the first time In
this country a concerto for violin by Jan
Sibelius. Miss Powell holds the record
for introducing new violin concertos in
this country. It was she who played 'last
year the Arensky concerto and followed
that with the Huss concerto. Sibelius,
who Is a Finn, wrote Miss Powell Just
before the concert as follows:
"I am so very pleased to hear that
you take interest in my violin concerto
and will produce it in America. If I am
going to have a good reception in New
Y.ork, I am convinced it is to you I will
owe the great part of the success." Ac
companying the letter was the composer's
photograph Inscribed "To the 'Violin
Queen,' Maud Powell. With gratitude.
Jean Sibelius." To whatever the success
may have been due, it certainly was most
pronounced. Maud Powell is an artist of
unique ability and rightfully deserves the
accorded reputation of being the greatest
woman violinist living. The programme
of Friday. afternoon presented further the
E flat major sonata of Bach, transcribed
for orchestra, by Herman Hans Wetzler,
formerly of New York, but now conductor
of opera in Hamburg. Weber's "Oberon"
overture and Schumann's symphony in
C major Safonoff conducted with great
warmth and sympathy, particularly so
in the face of the loss of his mother,
which news reached him as he was di
recting the rehearsal early in tho week.
The Interest In Mme. Butterfly aWthe
Garden Theater continues unabated and
just before leaving for Boston where Mr.
Savage spent his Thanksgiving vacation,
he decided to extend the engagement of
Mme. Butterfly at the Garden Theater
two weeks, the expectation was to hold
his 'opera four weeks which meant 30
consecutive performances but there has
been such an enormous demand that it
will be necessary to extend the engage
ment until Saturday night December 22.
As the matter now stands Mme. Butter
fly could run at the Garden Theater until
Spring but It is impossible because
months ago the production was booked to
cross the continent. It has been impos
sible to cancel Christmas week In Cin
cinnati and New Year week in Cleve
land, consequently the entire company
with orchestra-jf 60 .will leave for those
points and then begin a tour that will ex
tend to the Pacific Coast.
There has been considerable question
as to what the new play written by Clyde
Fitch for Blanche Walsh would be named.
It was announced this week that it will
bear the cognomen of "Tina Straight
Road." In this Miss Walsh will be seen
at the Astor Theater early In the new
year. Coincident with the naming of
the play is a lettec from Miss Walsh to
her managers which was rather startling
in point of the fact that there was only
one copy of the play and that was in
the hands of Miss Walsh. She wrote:
"Now that it is all over and the manu
script is in your hands, I want you to
know that you came near having no play,
Three days after I received it we were
in a railroad accident. It couldn't have
been much for news as It did not get
outside of the state, but It did damage
the car and there was a little fire. When
it was over I looked with a feeling of
joy at the manuscript which I 'had
clutched when I got out of the car. To
my amazement an act was missing. My
leading man. In manuscript form, and
that charming Miss , were in that
burnt coach. - I scrambled to the rescue
of the couple. They were soiled a bit
but thank goodness unhurt. That is the
secret of why you got the manuscript
back so quickly."
Another interesting item concerning
Miss Walsh is the announcement of her
marriage on November 15 to William M.
Travers a member of her company. The
ceremony was performed in New Or
leans by Judge Renshaw of that city.
Miss Walsh was divorced in 1903 from
Alfred Hickman an actor, but her mar
riage was not known until she sued for
divorce. Mr. Travers was divorced In
June from Harriet Merritt a vaudeville
actress. He first appeared In Resurrec
tion with Miss Walsh and has been with
her ever since.
