BY EMIL1E FRANCES BAUER.
NEW YORK. May 22. (Special.)
The steamer which left the
port of New York on Tuesday
carried one of the greatest cargoes
of celebrities in the musical world
that has gone out since the days
of general exodus before the war.
Among the passengers were General
Director Gatti-Casazza and a num
ber of his staff as also Gino Marin
uzzi, artistic director of the Chicago
Opera association.
As has been his custom for several
years on the eve of his departure,
Giulio Gatti-Casazza broke his silence
as to his plans for next season and
made some Interesting revelations,
after expressing gratitude to the pub
lic, to his co-workers both artistic
and executive and to all who helped
to make a season wnicb. Droke all
records.
Grand -Opera Made to Fay.
It was also stated that the ad
vance sale already shows a great Im
provement over what had come In
last season ny mis uujes oiu uen
It Is understood that the 207 per
formances brought receipts estimated
at $1,800,000, it is plain that Mr. Gattl
Casazsa has made grand opera pay.
The director placed some emphasis
upon the fact that he planned In the
future, as he had done in the past,
to glean from all schools, countries
and periods inasmuch as variety
helped to spell success. In view of
the great -success made by the Eng
lish presentation of "Parsifal," he de
cided to enlarge the Wagnerian rep
ertory by giving "Lohengrin" and
"Tristan and Isolde" aUso In English.
"The Polish Jevr." a Czechoslovak
opera by Karl Weiss, libretto by
Victor Leon and Richard Batka, will
also be done In English.
Casts have not yet been made pub
lic but It is known that Margaret
Matzenauer will sing Isolde and
Ortrud and Florence Easton will sing
El&a. Sembach, who has taken out
his American papers, will be a mem
ber of - the. company - and will sing
Tristan and probably the title role of
"Lohengrin." "Cleopatra's Night"- In
English will be retained in next sea
son's repertory.
Caraso to Be In Title Role.
At last "Louise" is announced for
the regular repertory with Geraldine
Farrar in the title role and all those
who know Alda's capacity, charm
and adaptability in French opera are
awaiting her appearance in this role
as well. In Italian will be given for
the first time at the Metropolitan
"Don Carlos" by Verdi and Giordano's
"Andre Chenier" In which Caruso will
have the title role. Boito's "Mefisto
fele" is planned for Mme. Alda, Flor
ence Easton and the new tenor Benja
min Gigli, said to be one of the sen
sations of Italy where he has sung
at La Seal a and he is a favorite at
Monte Carlo as well. Another Italian
from La Scala is the baritone Gius
eppe Danise, who has also sung suc
cessfully at the Teatro Colon in
Buenos Aires.
Two returning stars will be wel
come to a large number of admirers
at the Metropolitan. These are Emmy
Destinn and Lucretia Bori, the latter
to come for the spring season of 1921.

singers those who have made estab
lished successes either in this country
or abroad, include Francesca Peralta

VAMPIRE TACTICS URGED
Women Urged to Study Methods o
Cleopatra and Salome. -SACRAMENTO.
Cal.. Til way for a
wife to defeat the modern vampire Is
to "vamp" her own husband. Miss
Susan B. Smith, who addressed the
California Federation of Women's
Clubs, proposed the plan, not in so
many words but in a very direct sug
gestion. "If women wuold study the lives of.
such women as Cleopatra. Sappho and
Salome." she said, "I think that hus4
bands would be far more anxious to
stay at home nights."
Miss Smith attributed the "baneful
Influence" of the vampire type of
woman to her knowledge of men, and
urged clubwomen to apply the vam
pire test in efforts to interest and
hold the attention of men.
"The wise woman, especially the
wife, should aim to add to her graces
the pretty artifices of the 'vamp,' as
exemplified by the great classical
characters among the world's women.
"There is such a thing as harm in.
this attitude and it has been dragged
to a level .which women scorn. But
women have made a mistake in their
scorn. Those wives who practice the
pretty artifices of the classical char
acters who have held the attention
and Interest of men have had littl
trouble in keeping their husbands at
home.
T
