"Gioconda” Plot Gloomy.
There is little of joy and brightness
in the plot of "La Gioconda." These
emotions tjie auditors derive from
their delight in the sweet tones of j
Emmy Destinn. as La Gioconda, in
the incomparable tenor of Caruso, in
the mezzo soprano of Louise Homer,
in the musical artistry of Dinh Gilly,
Marla Duchene. Segurola and the oth
er brilliant opera stars.
The story itself is gloomy and de- :
pressing, almost sordid. It is filled |
with hopeless loves, jealousies and
intrigues. Yet one is bound by the
inescapable interest of it all.
The music is regarded as Ponchlel-
li's best effort, although he contin
ued to write long after he produced
"La Gioconda.” Tii » book was found
ed by Bi'ito upon Victor Hugo's An
gelo, Tyran tie Padoue.” The scene is
laid in Venice and the time is in the
seventeenth cemury.

The movement of tDo plot discloses a

The unhappy girl is tempted to stab
her rival. Laura, with the dagger site

Dramatic at Times.
One of the dramatic moments of
the opera is at the finale of the third
act when the blind mother of La
Gioconda proclaims her belief that
the devilish plots of Barnaba are re
sponsible for all the attempts at mur
der and poisoning with which the
movement is marked.
Another moment tense with dra
matic' interest is at the close of the
opera when La Gioconda is hotly
pursued by Barnaba for the fulfill
ment of her compact to give herself to
him of he will save Enzo. Enzo and
Laura escape and Barnaba appears
to claim Gioconda. She says she
will be ills, but that she must have
time to deck herself and braid her
hair with purple and gold As she
delays she brings a dagger from con
cealment and pierces her heart sud
denly.
"Cyrano” Fails to °iease.
While it would r>e unfair to render
judgment upon a new opera after
hearing it but once, it must be said
to-day tnat Damrosch’s new work.
"Gyrano." failed to please the audi
ence last night. There were numer
ous expressions of disapproval beard
in the foyer between the acts, and
the most sincere criticism of all—the
sight of dozens leaving when the
third act had closed—proved that the
attention of the listeners was not
being held.
Amato, Martin. Alda and their
associates did the best they could to
make their numbers beautiful, and
Conduetoi Hertz, who came down es
pecially to lead "Cyrano,” drew from
his orchestra every bit of beauty the
score made possible. But the opera
is void of melody; lacking in individ
ual numbers which would stand out
as gems; too largely made up of
recitative and dull intervals. Its set
tings wore magnificent, its orchestral
music sometimes tremendous-Wag
nerian. But with all that, it was dull
to most of those* who heard it.
Amato, the Cyrano, rose to supreme
heights in his final scene and proved
himself a tragic actor as well as a
great oaritone. Mme. Alda was a
beautiful Koxane, and her clear,
silvery tones drew applause fre
quently. especially in the letter song
of the third act. Martin, in his first
appearance of the season, had n
miserable role as Christian, and could
only make the best of it.

CHILD LABOR EVIL

j to Atlanta Exhibit for Sociolog
ical Congress,
Misa Maria J. Franchowitz of New
York, general superintendent of the
National Child I^abor Committee, is in
Atlanta to-day as a delegate to the
! Southern Sociological Congress,
i Miss Franchowitz brought to At-
I ianta the nationally known child la
bor exhibit. It tells through photo-
| graphic views the terrible tale of
child enslavement in the factory
towns of New England, the Middle
I West and the South.
Miss Franchowitz to-day said: "My
exhibit, which will be opened within
the next few days in one of the va
cant business offices in Peachtree
Street, was the feature of the ninth
annual Child Welfare Convention of
the United Slates, which has just,
closed at Jacksonville. Personally, I
believe this sordid story told in pic
ture form is a more convincing ar
gument against the employment of
children in mills, canning factories
and such establishments than thou
sands upon thousands of words can
j ever be."
James E. McCulloch, general secre
tary of the Southern Sociological
Congress, to-day announced the ex
pected arrival this evening of Dr.
Henry Stiles Bradley, of Worcester.
Mass., a noted sociologist, who will
address the sociological convention
on "The Drag on Modern Civiliza
