"SAMSON AND DELILAH" SURPRISES NEW YORK WITH ITS BRILLIANCY Reception for Opening: Opera of 1915-1916 Season Is Described by Emilie Frances Bauer as Most Enthusiastic. Caruso Is Effective Particularly in Scene When Blind and Shorn of Love and Power. BT EMII.E FRANCES BAUER. IN' EW YORK. Nov. 20. (Special.) While it was not easy to under stand the reason that "Samson and Delilah" was selected as the open ing opera of the season of 1915-16, it was Justified by the surpassing; bril liancy of the production and by the en thusiasm witb which it waa received. That Caruso was heard for the first time in the role of Samson waa re sponsible for much of the Interest, and there wa huge delight for the audience which filled every inch of space avail able in the powerful Delilah, of Mine. Matzenauer, whose voice has never seemed more beautiful or more wieldy throughout. Nor did this audience leave Polacco long in doubt as to where be stood in the estimation of the New York public It was soon obvious that he was in every respect a worthy successor to Toscanlaa, who as all know, was not only an idol, musically speaking, but he came under the bead of the "prima donna" conductor: sometimes it is bet ter for thi all-important post to be filled by a man who has as much re spect for the singer as for the or chestra, and in this particular Polacco showed his mastery of the situation. He succeeded in bringing out tbe beauties of the great Saint Saens score, and he Infused warmth, color and su preme Interest Into every measure. It sounded fresh and it seemed as though no one had ever made it more thoroughly operatic than Polacco, as it comes dangerously near the oratorio style, and It required the combined ef forts of the stage and the beautiful or chestra, which has long been the pride of the Metropolitan, to keep It out ol the more severe lines. Carnso wa an appealing Samson from the opening to tho close; particu larly effective was his last act, when. blind and shorn of love ana oi nis power, betrayed into the hands of the enemy, he mages nis supreme tumi and brings upon himself and upon those within annihilation. I ne great Italian tenor, never so completely at home in French as in his own language, still succeeded, in making his hearers forget that he had a handicap of any sort, as his voice was full of beauty, resonant and clear, and his histrionic treatment of the part had a power beyond that of most interpreters of this role. He seemed to appreciate tne inspira tion offered by the extraordinary pow ers of Mme. Matzenauer, who well nigh c-l iran tic in stature and almost swartny in appearance, brought significance to her role even outside of the great mas tery of her voice, which dominated tbe entire nerformance. She was more than a regal Delilah she was imperial and imperious. Sne is poweriui in uer ten derness as In her cruelty, ana sue gave the Impression throughout or tne temptress wno wouia stop i mimins. Not less impressive than the imper sonations of Caruso and Mme. Matze nauer in the title roles was Amato as the hieh Driest. This great oaruone who already ha filled enough concert engagement to have arrived at a com plete warming up of that beautiful and luscious voice, never seemed more of a master, more powerful, more over whelming in his art than upon this oc r..inn. Ha made of a comparatively small role one of the masterpieces of his repertory. The cast iurtner in cluded MM. Rother. bcniegei, uiock. Reschiglian and Audlslo. Samson and Delllan. perhaps more than many of tne operatic repertory, has a superb opportunity for the ballet- In this lies the mean to present rco sina Galll. the exquisite Italian dancer. mrhn it anvbody may be mentioned In a clasei with Pavlowa, is deserving of thl distinction ThA usual first night audience filled the Metropolitan and brilliancy reigned supreme from the great horseshoe to the "standees" behind the rail.

The production will be under the direction of Mr. Bodanzky. Mlscha Elman will lend distinction to the first Sunday night concert at the Metropolitan, when the artists from the opera will be Anna Case and Paul, Althouse. The Brook lyn season of the Metropolitan Opera Company at the Academy of Music opened Tuesday night with Mr. Polacco conducting "II Trovatore." The singers were Mmes. Rappold and Ober, MM. Maftinelli. Amato and Rothier. ... There was a larue list of disap pointed concert-goers Sunday afternoon when Madame Kurt was unable to ap pear at the Philharmonic concert as announced. It was stated that the cause of her absence was due to her press of work on account of the open ing week of the opera. In view of the fact that Madame Kurt was not due to sing a new role, nor was she announced for a date before Thursday night, it seems too bad that Mr. Stransky's ar rangements were compelled to be dis turbed. The conceit was given with out soloists, and included Dvorak's "Fourth Symphony," Wagner's "Sieg fried Idyll," Tschaikowsky's "Romeo and Juliet," Grieg's "Elegiac Melodies." and LUszt's "Tasso." mm Returning to the outlook at the Met ropolitan for tl.e coming season, it will be remembered that the season will be longer this year by four weeks than most of the seasons in the past. These last four weeks will be occupied by the Russian Ballet, of which brilliant things are expected. So far as novel ties are concerned, there seem to be but three announced as yet. Ono of these is Borodin's "Prince Igor," which was announced for last season, but was not given. Madame Alda is to have the principal role. Anothsr complete novelty will be the opera "Goyescas," by Enrique Granados, whose piano works have been played in New York by Ernest Schelling. and earlier by Harold Bauer. Songs by the same composer have been sung by Emilio do Gogorza. Bizet's "Les Decheurs de Perles" is another novelty of which two act were performed for one time at tbj Metropolitan. The list of novelties is small this sea son on account of the unusual difficul ties confronting the management in every direction. The standard reper tory will have to be restudied in a cer tain sense on account or tne new con ductors and on account of a number of new artisis. Outside of this fact it has been no easy matter to obtain novelties or to make new productions with con ditions as they are in Europe. Leon Bakst, whose name has become world-wide since the day of vivid, lurid coloring, will arrive in New York next week. The great colorist and designer will prepare the settings and costumes for the Imperial Russian Ballet to ap pear at the Metropolitan during the last four weeks of this season, and it is understood that hef has been engaged by several of the theatrical firms. There will be exhibitions of his work held in several of the New lorK gal leries. a Gabrilowitsch and Godowsky were true rivals Saturdav afternoon, when the former played to the capacity of Aeolian Hall a complete Beethoven pro gramme in t. e second concert of his series of historical recitals, and Go dowsky playeu r complete Chopin pro gramme in the second recital brought about by the sensational reception ac corded him ct Aeolian Hall in October. There wero more than 100 people on the stage at Aeolian Hall, and many were turned away. Godowsky played at Carnegie Hall, which, of course, ac commodates many ivore than the other house, and the audience which heard him almost filled that auditorium. Both artists played superlatively well. . a . Desider Vecset, a young Hungarian pianist 'ho gave a highly successful recital at Aeolian Hal. early this week. must have a psychic sense of being at the right place at the right time. The day before his concert he went to call upon the Rev. John T. Prout, rector of St. John's Church. When he arrived there he found thit a wedding cere mony was being performed and the or ganist of the church had been detained. The reverend icther asked Mr. Vecsei to officiate at th organ and play the wedding march, which he did. Singu larly enough, the time before when he called upon the same father, he was holding a funeral service, and in the absence of tt e organist Mr. Vecsei also played this service. ... Notwithstanding the turbulence of Europe, America will have its share of the ultra-moderns. Synchronic with the presence of Leon Bakst. the names of Strawlnsky and Schoenberg will ap pear on the couccrt jrograuime ol that I TY T w arm L0 VERS CALLS TO DELIGHTED. - honored Chickerings just Re ii ji I's'.tiiss'ara tte?- week. Strawinsky, who is responsible for some of the ballet music used by the Diaghilew dancers, will figuro prominently on the first programme of the Flonzaley Quartet. Tuesday night, November 30, when they will present a work which is still in manuscript. Schoenberg, who has been heard in New York in his more modified and exquisitely beautiful sextet presented by the Kneisels and assistants, and also in his more fierce attitude of mind as heard in the quartet played by the Flunzaleys last season, will appear as chief number on the Philharmonic pro gramme next week. Josef Stransky will offer for the first time In this country the symphonic poem "Pelleas and Meli sande." More than 100 players will be em ployed in the presentation of this nov elty of the ultra-modern composer, none of whose larger works have ever been performed i.i New York. Emmy Destinn is announced for the same con-" cert in her first appearance of the sea son. She will also be the assisting art ist when the Philharmonic Society will open its Brooklyn series of concerts Sunday afternoon, November 21. 1500 AT ALBANY FUNERAL All Members of Ministerial Associa tion Assist at Services.
