Angelo Bada : Natanael Petro Audisio Hermann Paolo Ananian Luther Bernard Begue Conductor, Richard Haoeman. Curtain at 8 o’clock. "Tales of Hoffman," the OfTenbach fantastic opera to be presented to night by the Metropolitan, will Intro duce several stars of the company who already have been heard' this week, and one or two who have not sung here this season. Carl Jorn, the German tenor whose work In “Lohengrin,” "Koenigskln- der” and "Cavalleria" has made him popular In Atlanta, will sing the fine role of Hoffman to-night, and three equally prominent feminine roles will be taken by Hempel, Bori and Fornia. Miss Hempel ^vlll be heard as Olym pia, the mechanical doll, the first of Hoffman’s three loves. Rita For- nta. who has never before been given a good part in an Atlanta season, will sing Gluletta, the beautiful Venetian siren. Miss Bori will be the Antonia, the Munich maiden, who sings herself to death. Segurola in Double Role. The opera will Introduce a number of leading singers In brief roles. Leon Rothier. the basso, will double In the roles of Coppelius and Dr. Miracle, the latter a weird evengali-Ifke char acter who appears in the Antonia tale. Dinh Gilly, who sang so well in ”Gio- conda" yesterday, will have the fine role of Dapertutto in the Venetian scene, singing the superb "Diamond Song” Segurola will double the roles of Spalanzani and Schlemil. Reiss, the tenor comedian, will have gTeat op portunity as Cochenille and Frenz. Jeanne Maubourg will sing the male role of Xiclaus, the companion of Hoffman through all his wanderings. Richard Hageman, the Dutch con ductor, will direct the orchestra. The opera is without a really great leading role, but it makes up for this by giving fine parts to half a dozen singers. The three roles of Olympia, Gluletta and Antonia are usually sung by one soprano, but the Metropolitan has such a wealth of singers that It offers three stars In the parts. Famous Gondolier Song. The "Tales" Is famous especially for the “Barcarolle," the famous Vene tian gondoliers’ sing, sung in the sec ond act and played as an intermezzo by the orchestra. It is led by two women’s voices, the chorus joining in the refrain, and the swaying, som nolent music depicts the rocking of the gondola in the Venetian lagoons as the boatmen swing from side to side in their rowing It is not un usual for the whole audience to catch the movement of the air and sway in their seats in time to the music. The opera is not so somber as most of the famous works, nor is it con nected as to plot. Hoffman, a stu dent, in a wine cellar with his com panions. is teased about his amours. He replies: “I will tell you the story of my three loves.” The curtain then rises on "Olympia the Doll,” the first of the love tales. It changes to the story of Violetta and then to the tale of Antonia. Sometimes the first and third acts are transposed for great effect. Hoffman and his companion, Niclaus, are the only characters seen in all of the acts. At the end of the third tale the scene shifts back to the wine cellar, where the epilogue is sung.

J. G. Wells, who was placed in charge of the Kentucky institution a few' months ago. Warden Wells Is in Atlanta to at tend the sessions of the Southern So ciological Congress, which began to ddy. His attention was called to the re cent agitation by some of the Georgia convict camp wardens who wish again to be given the privilege of whipping their women prisoners. It was then he made known his own policy in re spect to corporal punishment. When he was told how county war dens are chosen in Georgia, choice be ing governed in many instances by friendship or political considerations. Warden Wells shook his head in dis approbation and remarked that a more destructive system and one more demoralizing to effective penolo r gy could hardly be devised. How does he discipline these hard ened and vicious women and the near ly 1,400 men without the use of the lash? Here is his answer: By night classes attended by half the prison population. By a system of demerits imposed by a prison court of the same style as an ordinary police court—“except that we treat them better,” says the warden. By meetings for the guards and other prison officials, in which all the phases of criminal life and prison dis cipline are considered and planned. By deprivation of privileges for 1 minor infractions of prison discipline; the solitary for more serious offenses, i Warden Wells was a judge in Cal loway County during the night rider outrages, and won considerable fa vorable notice because of his adjudi- | cation of these troubles.
