CHILD LABOR EVIL
i
New York Social Worker Brings'
to Atlanta Exhibit for Sociolog
ical Congress.
Miss Maria J. Franchowitz of New
York, general superintendent of the
National Child Labor Committee, is in
Atlanta to-day as a delegate to the
Southern Sociological Congress.
Miss Franchowitz brought to At
lanta 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
West and the South.
Miss Franchowltz 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 States, 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
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
tion.”
Sociological workers of Atlanta will
organize a Five Hundred Club to bat
tle vice and Improve moral condi
tions. There will be a negro branch.
It is desired to have men and wom
en who backed Police Chief Beavers
in the vice crusade form a permanent
battle line.

“Gioconda” Plot Gloomy.
There is little of joy and brightness
in the plot of “La Gioconda." These
emotions the auditors derive from
their delight in the sweet tones of
Emmy IVstlnn, as La Gioconda, in
the Incomparable tenor of Caruso, in
the mezzo soprano of Louise Homer,
in the musical artistry of Dinh Gilly,
Maria Duchene, Segurola and the oth
er brilliant opera stars.
The story itself is gloomy and de- |
pressing, almost sordid. It is tilled
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.” Th » book was found
ed by Bolto upon Victor Hugo's “An
gelo, Tyran de Padoue.” The scene is
laid in Venice and the time is in the
seventeenth century.
A brief prelude and the curtain
j rises upon the court yard of the Doge's
palace. The assembly of sailors,
maskers, Dalmatians and Moors mov
ing away to view the regatta. Gio
conda enters with her blind mother.
She seats her mother near a shrine
ind departs in quest of Enzo, her
lover.
Love Intrigues Plentiful.
Tlie movement of the 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. Gioconda.
however, loves Enzo and hates Bar
naba with as great intensity. Enzo, to
make the plot complete in its unhap
piness. neglects Gioconda to love
Laura. But Laura is already mar
ried. having been won from Knzo by
the perfldity of Alvise.
Barnaba tries to gain possession of
Gioconda by the infamous scheme of
denouncing her aged mother as a
sorceress. He only succeeds in bring
ing about a meeting between Enzo
and Laura, but in this incident lie
sees another opportunity 10 gain his
end. H«- arranges a tryst for Enzo
and I*aura, and ‘then informs the
| betrayed husband. Alvise. Gioconda
is heartbroken at the knowledge of
| Enro's faithlessness to her.
The unhappy girl is tempted to stab
her rival, Laura, with the dagger she
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
wall be his. but that she must have
time to deck herself and braid her
hair with purple azid gold. As she
delays she brings a dagger from con
cealment and pierces her heart sud
denly.
“Cyrano” Fails to Please.
While it would ne unfair to render
judgment upon a new opera after
hearing it but once, it must be said
to-day that Damrosch's new work.
“Cyrano,” failed to please the audi
ence last night. There were numer
ous expressions of disapproval heard
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
Conductoi 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 were 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 Roxane, and her clear,
silverv tones drew applause fre
quently. especially in the letter song
of the third act. Martin, in his first
appearance of the season, had a
miserable role as Christian, and could
only make the best of it.
