corning women. Miss Flora Gray

nnd nil tho pooplo oxit into tho

"I Pngliacoi" (pronounced Pah!
ynt-ciiol, or "Tlio t towns," is a
tragio oporn in two acts mid n pro
loguoi. byLeoncuvullo, wjjjho, fol
lowing east :
Canio (in tho play, Punchinello),
a clown r Nodda (in the may, Colum
bmo), his wifo; Toiuo, another
ulown ; Peppo (in the piny, . Ilorlo
quin), ono of tho troupe j' Silvio,
Neddu's lover.
In tho prologuo, surg inTfront of
tho curtain, n hint is given of the
coming gloom by Tonio, who sings
that bnok of tho motley and linsol of
tho clowns, human hearts nro boat
ing with passion the snmo ns ours,
Antoln, who will sing tins pnrt hero,
is undoubtedly tho best intorprotor
of this rolo on tho operatic stngo.
"Pngltnooi" is n play within n
piny, Tho plot ooucorus itself witlr
tho mombor8 of.n trnvoling troupe
of plnyors, nnd tho sceno opens with
thoir nrnvnl nt nn Italian villngo nnd
thoir warm welcome by the. curious
uihtlbilnuts. After announcing tho
play for the ooiing, tho players rjs
tire, leaving the stngo to the chorus,
who sing tho benittifttl "Doil Chorus

mony in tho littlo troupe;' Neddn is
far too nttrnotivo nnd not only does
sho possess a husbnnd, Cunio, whom
she does not love, but two lovers ns
woll. . Tonio is mndly in lovo with
her, but sho is enamoured of Silvio,
n villngor, nnd scornfully rojoots.thc
advances of tho clown, finally out
ting him noross the fnco with i whip
when ho tries to embrnco her, nnd
thoreby scouring his notivo enmity,
Ovorhonring her plnnning to elope
with Silvio, Tonio rushes nwny to
inform Cntiio, who is drinking ut the
tnvorn. Cnnto comos quiokly, but
Silvio esenpes ovor 'tho woll without
Canio boiug nblo to recognizo him,
and Neddn ennnot bo torrified into
disclosing his identity. Cnnip is
nbout to kill his unfaithful wifo
when Poppo interforos, wnrniiy? him
thnt it is timo to prepare for the
performance, and tho not ends with
Cnnio's touching lament, the burden
of which is thnt he must go on tho
stage, play tho clown, nnd make poo
plo laugh when his own henrt is
brenking. .Neddn's "Bird Song" nnd
tho following duet with Silvio are
especially admirable numbers in the
first not.
Aftor nn intormozzo thnt is a close
second to tho ono in "RustioaUn,"
tho second net opons with tho rus.tio
nudienoo assembling at tho little tho.
ntor, with Neddn collecting tho ad
mission feos and incidontnlly mnnng
insr to get a wdrd With Silvio. When
tho curtain on tho rude stage is
drawn asido, it soon becomes appar
ent thnt tho play is a roplioa of tho
state of affairs existing in tho
troupo. Nodda. as Columbine, is
nlono on tho stngo, listoning to. the
tender songs of Harlequin, her lavor.
in the piny, Tonio, ns Tnddes, tho
fool, enters to servo them with food,
and just as he has dope a few hours
before in real life, ho now makes lovo
to hor and she repulsos hira haught
ily. To comploto tho resemblance,
the fool brings back the wronged
husbnnd, who finds Columbine and
her lover dining morrily together nnd
plotting to poison 'Punchinollo. But
the nngor which Punohinollo" shows
soon becomos too terriblo in quality
to bo morely nctiug? and even the
audience begins to realize this. Whan
Punchinello rushes, upon Columbine,
and in maddonod tones again de
mands the name of her lover, they
feel that it is a Teal tragedy that is
developing under their ovos. Nedda
sees her necossity nud enlls, upon
Silvio in the nudienco to savo her.
He leaps upon the stage, but is too
lato, for Canio has stabbed his err
ing wifo and with hts dripping blade
turns and stabs Silvio', too. Then
Canio turns to the audience as If ia
a daze and says hoarsely, "Go, the
comedy, is ended." 1 i,
Harlequin's serenade, swig befeind
the scenes of the mimio theater, and
the orchestral musio accomwnyiug
the little playare most beautiful uni
make this fiery melodrama one of
the best products of (ha i&cdera
Italian stfcool.
