THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, FRIDAY EVENING. MARCH 8. 1C07. r- "BUTTERFLY" : ALL PROMISES MADE Osa Szamosy in Name Part Proves Herself as Near Perfection :-.... " as It Is Possible to Expect - Response Jo Curtain . . ; . , f Call the Only Jarring Note.x j J ' ) sjatlefaetorv."' " : That la tb. word that describes last tilgbt's production of "Madam Butter By" at the HelUg. There can be no nor complimentary word desired whoa you - remember -how- blgn expectations have flown since flrat w board Ut de lightful Italian-Japanese-American opera . waa coming to .Portland. . , . For three houra an Immanaa eudl- ' oc aat and listened spell-bound to an artlatlc presentation of an artlaU " opera, smiled at" tha pretty alra and graces of tha flitting human butterfly, ad with her paaaed quickly from one amotion to another until they had gone tha whole gamut. The sunshiny emllee ; of the Innocent UtUe girl of ! her quickly dried teara; the aoba and sighs f the traglo future; everything waa perfectly presented by ao aplendid a apeaklng orcheetra that had the curtain . been down the story would Still hare been completely told. "'': ' I can hardly Imagine a mora satls- factory little madame than Klaa Szam osy. -What though her first appearance did have a alight air of maturity for a little 18-year-old girl? When tha do- . velopment of the mualo abowed to what dramatic ' helghta aha , muat aoar and how well aha oared there waa not ques tion : about Elan Bsamosy's Btneaa to play Madam Butterfly. Florence Easton and Rana VI Vienna may. portray the slry-falryness ot tha Japanese maiden more In accorl.vwlta one's preconceived Ideas, but. they pan: never rise above fcsamoey in drama Mo force. Ssamosyia flrat of all a singer ot wonderful rich voice the kind that fills your being' and penetrates to every nerve center with a dellcloua soul-stirring thrill. And aha la secondly a great actress, with an ease of : manner and qualntnesa of conception that announces Itself at every turn foreign. And even , her slightly broken speech, . with . Its . softened consonants, suits tha Japanese girl, who. It seems, -should not speak perfect English even In an English text To others of tha cast be all due credit given, though so much, much mors does Butterfly boar the burden of the opera loan any two vum put Lue.iu.r, iu ona forgets there are other leading . parts, Joseph Saaehan, who cams to tie last year ta "L Boheme"and showed ' us his splendid tenor, was good In the role ot Plnkerton. the. American naval officer who makes the tragedy possible. One of the beet moments In the vocal score is his love duet with Butterfly at the close of. the flrat act where both show tha full compass of their voices, and where the mualo fairly vibrates with Intensity. - v . Harriet Behnee as Busukl sang with a rich contralto and Interpreted the part ef tha handmaid to suit her rather heavy voloe. Sharpleas, tha American consul, was well Interpreted by .Thomas D. Richards who has a pleasing; even, baas voloe and presents a good appearance as walL And Ooro, the marriage broker, la tha hands of Stephen Jungman, who mads the comedy part of tha story, cer tainly regal res some mention, . Bo much for the singing. And 'yet there Is the orchestra. And. though " "Waiter Roth well handled it with re markable ease and skill It 'Is bard for me to handle It- Their work was so satisfactory and the Puccini conception Is so great even Wagnerian at times, and at others so lightly exrSresslve that one could but alt still and listen.

And the music dlea slowly away , as every one falls asleep, but shs alone still waits. And there la grandeur In the opening prelude of the next act as the gun's rays come up-and lighten the heavens. and tha day grows brighter and blighter. and yet there 4s no hope. The tragedy must coma And the Irrevoeahleness of fata, the suffering and th relief when death comes are all told as plainly as words can make them. A splendid or chestra, a fins conductor and magnifi cent music. - Several little thlnga mlrht be men tioned in paaslng, but there Is so much that might bo said of this most artiatlo performance that has ever visited Port land. There Is the celeste, the new In strument with Its bell music, which Just ruiea the one wanting element ta the oriental mualo, And there . waa the beautiful acenery, and - tha effective Buddha and Mount Fujiyama and Naga saki bay acenea which prepared tha as- sem plage and put It In a Japanese frame of mind before the music began. Incidentally there waa the inartistic fault of responding to a curtain call when continued darkness and alienee Is expected to create a delusion. . It Is dis turbing when you have been swallowing your "chokes" as you realised the fruit leaaneaa of vigil that waa to continue all night; then see the object of your aoba and pity come amlllng and bowing Into view about tha middle of the night. It makes you want to cover your eyas so you-won't see. Tea, It Is oven worse than to see bar come out and bow after you hare seen her die a ghastly death, for then the play has been completed. American audiences have not yet learned the elo quence of, silent appreciation and per haps that la why, when a. curtain . call is given, they deserve no better than to get it . Florence Easton, tha American prima donna, and Francis Maclennan will play Butterfly snd her faithless lover . to night, withEthel Houston . and Bloharflji as the maid' and eonaul and Alfred Fetth conducting. Tbsy ; will have a splendid east to sing up to. SUPPER AFTER THE PLAY Many Society People Sit frown ta -."

V rrn t tt EY HELEN H&VTOCKNSj A Hospital Kindergarten. It la said that ons of th quaintest and most touching sight la a great city I th kindergarten of Bellevue hospital New York. , Suffering from many afflictions, it children gather around th kindergarten table te learn tha pleasant childish arts of weaving snd paper folding and to play with th blocks. . It Is a gunny ward overlooking the quadrangle. .Back of the Ubles is a line of little eota: la them lie little children swathed la bandages, strapped to boards, on with burns, another with a broken leg. These cannot loin la th game of th . convalescents, but they may hear th songs and storlea It takes some Ingenuity to adapt ths games so that th children who cannot run about may etlU gala th pleasure Of playing with others. - - Th advantages ot th kindergarten have bean so marked that Dr. Braanan, president ef the board at trustees of Bellevue, Is asking for aa extension of the work to Inolude tha older children of ths hospital, many of whom are obliged to remain ther for many weary weeae ana montna - .. A child from th tenements was brought In with a fractured skull; for soms day he was unconscious, but th only words that Issued from bis lips were profane. He began to recover, but still whsa things did not go to suit him. n swore roundly, a soon as he waa up and about he evinced an Interest la tha kindergarten. Th new activities had an effect upon him and he becanV devoted to his teacher and to the other children: ta abort, became a different ooy. ' r Tt Is aroaalng. said Miss Vande- venter, "what fortitude and heroism are exhibited in a hospital kindergarten, Ths children seem to realise that they are ta a community where If they pa rade their own sufferings It will react oa th other children. So they try to bear th pain and discomfort ta a truly herolo fashion. .' Truly th labors and th loving thought of th klndlv Froebal have born a wealth of bloaaom and fruitage. How many little ones have been cheered and bow many lives brightened by th kindergarten. Th material for such atudy was always present, for th gen tleman studied th relation' of mother and child for It years before he formu lated his theories Into a definlt system of Instruction, v, ' . .. v .. '..' Neck Fixing. Ths reason a woman's turnover col lars usually look go much lea trig and neat wan a man's collar, say a Boston writer, is because she does not tighten them at the upper part. . A man ties his four-ln-hand cravat ta a tight knot at th very top bis collar, - therefor holding th two edge snugly against th neck. . A woman ties a bow under the lower edge at th base and lets th upper part spread open and leave a space between th akin and th linen that Is always ungainly. ,. . Mow, If she Is careful she first pins this part of th collar together with an ornamental safety pin and thsa use any kind of cravat at th baa. ' Th really fashionable tie 1 a -small on ef fin lawn with a lac edge. It may or may not Mb narrow and.amalL It must not etand out too far or droop. Th latter Is fatal. It must be made short enough to go around th neck and tie in a bow knot over four inches from tip to tip. and It must stand entirely straight out, th two loop exactly un der th two ends, both quite even. Across this and holding It to ths edges of th collar la run a longer bar pin to match th small on at th top. ' t -.--1'"..'.. Miss Flower's Bridal Gown. .
