The four, all favorites of past seasons, were given an enthusiastic The Market Basket! The Market Basket, ap pearing every Friday in The Georgian, is not only a help to the busy housewife in making purchases for Sunday dinner, but is a great welcome. Segurola had the basso role.

"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. A brief prelude and the curtain li-'cs upon the court yard of the Doge’s palace. The assembly of sailors, maskers, Dalmatians and Moors mov ing a\v;iy to view the regatta. Gio conda enters with her blind mother. Site seats her mother near a shrine ind departs in quest of Enzo, her lover. Love Intrigues Plentiful. The movement of tDo plot discloses a hopelessly tangled skein of love. Bar naba is madly in love with Gioconda and is ready to undertake any dia bolical scheme to win her. Giocondd, however, loves Enzo ami hates Bar naba with as great intensity Enzo, t<- mako the plot complete in its unhap- H dm ss. neglects Ginctga.a to love eauru.

The unhappy girl is tempted to stab her rival. Laura, with the dagger site carries, but repents and later actual ly saves her. 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.
