Never has a grand opera audience in Atlanta been handled with less confusion, less Inconvenience, less noise. The curtain rose within six minutes of the hour—8 o’clock—set for the opening, and not a person was seated afterward. There was no scurrying up and down the aisles to disturb the music, no clattering of seats to interrupt a tine passage. Those who arrived late stayed out un til the curtain had fallen on the first act. and there were several hundred of these. Caruso's first entrance was tlie sig nal for a tremendous burst of ap plause, which subsided only when the tenor stepped out of hi.® part for a bow to his friends. Scotti, too. this time in a swaggering, jovial comedy role, brought a roar of approbation when he appeared with the dainty new soprano.

Cottolene is decidedly better than butter or lard for all short ening and frying. It is healthier, it is quicker, it is more e'eonom- jeal. Cottolene costs no more than lard : you use but two-thirds of a pound of Cot tolene to do the work of a full pound of shutter or lard.

The opening of the season last night was perhaps the most brilliant ever known in an Atlanta season. The tsrotiH There’s One Right Near Y our Door costumes in the audience were more elaborate, the jewels more gorgeous, than in past seasons. More than 6.000 perrons filled the great auditorium.

The fight on long-distance salaries being drawn by officials of the Georgia Ag ricultural Experiment Station staff came to a climax to-day, when the board of directors of the station met here to elect the new staff to take office July 1, when R.

Rada’s fine tenor showed to great advantage in the Edmondo role and little Reiss, the comedian, had a delicious bit as the ballet master. Maria Duchene’s line contralto rang clear for a few moments in the mad rigal scene, and Ananian. Audisio and Rossi had small roles. Sturani con ducted. The opera, though written twenty years ago, is singularly characteristic of Puccini’s style.

The orchestra is given a large share of the burden and its work was as exquisite as always, especially in the somber intermezzo between the sec ond and tliicd acts. Caruso in Fine Voice. Never before has Atlanta heard Ca ruso in better voice. He has had roles which gave his matchless tenor great er opportunity for emotional passages, which permitted him to soar higher in the clouds of top-notes. There is no moment in "Manon" equal to the Sob Song in "Pagliacel;" no superb sus tained high note as in the Brindisi of "Cavolleria,” but in sheer beauty of tone, In exquisite shading. Caruso’s voice had every chance and he made the most of It.
