!Audvtorlum Throng to Have Op
| portunity of Hearing Edith
Mason, Soprano.
By CHARLES HENRY MELTZER.
Tonight Atlanta should have the
pleasure of hearing Miss Edith Ma
-Bon, young American soprano, for the
first time In opera.
Bhe will be the Lisa in the perform
ance of “La Sonnambula,” & part too
small, perhaps, to give one more than
£ faint notion of the real merit and
great promise of the artist.
High f}mgn are built upon Miss
Mason at the Metropolitan. Her voice
is of uncommon beauty, well trained
and very agreeable as to quality., In
New York Miss Mason has sung
prominent roles, among them that of
|Snl-h?r~, in “Der Rosenkavalier.”
In a little taik at the hotel at which
she is stopping, Miss Mason told me
some of her experiences.
“T am a SBt. Louis girl,’ said Miss
Madon. “It was there that, at the age
of 7, I first heard an opera. After at.
tending a performance of "Trovatore’ I
told my father and mother that I had
quite resolved some day to become a
einger. When I grew older, they ogp
poged my plan. But I held firm and
went abl;zn,d to study music,
“In Paris T studied under that won
derful Frenchman; Edmond Clement,
the tenor—well remembered in New
York by his beautifu! singing of such
parts as Werther and the des Grieux
of Masgenet's ‘Menon.’ I was his only
pupll, by the bye—a great honor,
“On my returh 1 was engaged by
Mr. Henry Ruseell and sang leading
'ro‘.el at the Beoston Opera House—
among them Nedda. Then, however,
I was known as Edith Barnes.
“It was in Chicago that I got my
chance of joining the Metropolitan
Company. Mr. John €, Schaeffer
heard me rehearsing there for a con
cért., He persuaded me not to appear,
and introduced me to Mr. Gatti-
Casazza, who, on engaging me, sald
he thought it would be better for me
to change my name.
“Till this season I had never sung
German. My taste and tmlmng both
incline me to prefer French anfl Ital
fan I have s*udied quity a number
of Italian and French roles. And I
am always hoping that Mr. Gatti-
Casazza will add som~ French operas
to the Metropolitan repertoire. The
public, T am sure, is longing to hear
them no less than I am.” |

Story of “Aida; the
-OperaonThursday
Verdi's glowing opera, “Aida,”
has twice been sung here, and no
work in all the Metropolitan’s
repertoire has proved mere pop
ular. It served to introduce Ca-
Tugo in the first Metropolitan
season, and he sang that night to
more than 7,000 persons, ti\s rec
ord audience still, for after that
night the fire regulations pre
vented standing in the alsles. It
was repeated in 1912, with the
house filled to capacity.
“Aida” represents the height of
Verdi's gkill in writing colorful
and dramatic music. He had out
grown his love for the purely
lyric, melodious works typified by
his “Trovatore,” and it was yet
sixteen years before' he was to
compose the more classic “Otelln”
that he was commissioned by the
Viceroy of Egypt to prepare a
work for the opening of the new
opera house in Cairo. Naturally,
the composer ghqse an Egzyptian
theme, and {t"gave him oppor
tunity for Oriental magnificence
in musie and in stage settings. It
is a ‘DIg” opera in several senses,
presented with opulence of scen
ery and costuming, fllled with
“big" stenes and martial glory,
and ovetflowing from curtain to
curtain with glowing vocal gems
for individual singers, duets, trios
and quartets
Alda (soprano), the daughter of
Amonasro (haritone), King of
Ethiopia, has been cugtured and
is held as a slave at the court of
Egypt, at ancient Memphis. She
has won the love of Rhadames
(tenor), a young soldier, who in
turn is loved by the Princess Am
neris (contraltn), who becomes
furiously jealous.
The Return of the Captives.
Rhadames, mas’de commander of
the army and sent on an expedi
tion, returns with many Ethiopian
captives, among them Amonasro,
who conceals his identity, but is
racognized by his daughter. The
King (baseo) bestows his daugh
ter upon the reluctant Rhadames.
Amonaero forces Alda to persuades
her lover to betray his country,
and they plan a flight together,
but Amneris overhears the lovers
and denounces them. Rhadames
is condemned hy the high priests
to be buried alive, and he is sealed
In a vault below the temple. As
the stone is laid in place, Alda,
who has concealed herself in the
tomb, reveals herself to her loyer,
and they suffocate In each other's
arms. :
The curtain rises withsut an
overture, revealing a great hall in
the palace. Rhadames and Ramfis
(basso), the High Priest, are re
vealed, and almost immediately
the tenor begins the great aria,
“Heavenly Aida,” which late
operagoers will miss, Amneris
eénters, and then Aida, and there
follows the trio, “Alas! The Cry
of War I Hear.”
said:
A martial strain announces the
entrance of the King and his
g;grdu. who receive a messenger
from the front. He announces
that the Ethiopians have invaded
Egypt. Rhadames is appointed
commander of the army, present
ed with a silken banner by the
Princess, and the King, Aida and
Amneris joid in a stirring trio
urging Rhadames to guard
“Nile’s Sacred Shores.” All de
part but Aida, who beging her
aria, in which leve for Rhadames
and fear for her father battle
with each other. It is called
“Return Victorious,” and when it
‘is finished she is overpowered
with emotion. Recovering, she
sings the « appealing “Sacred
Names,” indicative of her con
flicting love for father and lover,
and the curtain falls,
The second scene reveals an
altar in the Temple of Vulcan,
where the priests and priestesses
have gathered to bless the army.
Behind the scenes i 8 heard a
chant of praise to the Goddess
Ptah. Ramfls and Rhadames
Join in' the duet, with chorus,
“God, Guardian and Avenger,”
the young soldier is presented
with the sacred armor, and the
curtain falls on the mystic dance
of thé priestesses,
Act II opens upon-.a hall in the
apartmertnés of the Princess Am
neris, with her slaves adorning her
to receive Rhadames, abeut to re
turn in triumph from the wars. The
ballet is introduced here for a mo
ment. Aida, the slave, approaches,
and she and Amnerig give a series
of duets, in which Amneris gloats
over‘the slave-girl's love for the
hero and dwells upon her ap
proaching marriage, and Aida
sings of her love and her renun
clation. The blending of soprano
and centralte is beautifully con
trived. %
A Splendid Scene.
The second scane of Act IT is
orie of the most ornate and splen
did in all opera. It is outside the
‘walls of Thebes, and the King and
his cqurt await the entrance of
the v?ctoriouu army. A thrilling
chorus is sung, and there enter
the HEgyptian troops, preceded by
trumpeters, dancing girls and im
ages of the gods. The two bands
are playing the famous Triwmph
al March, and Rhadames, the con
queror, is berne in under a cano
py to receive the plaudits of the
people. The ballet has its most
important scerie here,
The captives enter, and at once
Alda recognizes her father, the
King of Ethiopia. He signals to
her not to betray his rank, and
passes for an ordinary sgoldier. A
fine quartet for the principals be
gins here, with Amonasro, plead
ing for his fellows, Aida and Rha
dames urfi,n' mercy, and the
priests demanding death for all
the captives. The King yields to
the appeal for mercy, and frees
all the prisoners but Alda’'s fa
ther He then *hestows the hand
of Amnetis upon Rhad . and
the curtain falls upon one :§ the
most splendid climaxes which
Verdi has written.
Act TII reveals moonlight on the
banks of the Nile, the Mettopoli
tan providing a beautiful setting.
Wk ESD AN, ArKiL 20, Ivle.
The Temple of Isis stands be
neath the paims, and from it soar
‘the voices of women, chanting a
- hymn of praise, “O Thou Who Art
of Osiris.” There enter Rha
dames and Amneris, who g 0 Into
the temple together, and then
Aida, her face concealed by a veil
She sings here the despairing,
appealing aria, “Oh, My Native
Land,” one of the most brilliant
numbers of the opera.
Here enters Amonasro, whe
teils Aida that his peeple hawe
risen, and urges her to persu:ge
Rhadames to reveal hgt plan of
campaign, so that the hiopians
may take advantage of his plans
. Aida refuses. They have three
- duets in succession, including the
famous “Thou Shalt See Once
More the Balmy Forests” and
“Up, Then! Rise and Destroy."
Alda s ovecome and consents to
betray her lover.
k Repulsed by Aida.'
Rhadames enters ahd endeavors
to embrace Aida, but she repulses
him. He protests that he loves
her and not Amneris, and the
slave girla begs him to flee from
the country with her. He con
sents, and reveals the plan or
<campaign, which, to his horror,
is overheard by Amonasro, They
are about to flee together when
Amneris, who has béen concealed
behind a pillar, rushes in and de
nounces them. Rhadames is ar
ested, while Alda and her father
make their escape.
Act TV opens with a roem in
the palace with Amneris in de
spair. for she is ton between love
and vengeance. She orders Rha
dames brought before her, and
offers to save him if he will give
up Alda. He refuses, and thei:
duet is exceptionally beautify!
Rhadames is led to the room of
judgment, while Amneris and
Ramfis, with a chorus, sing “Ah,
Death Approaches.” As the
m-ieQlt)s ¢ross the hall the repent
ant Princess volices a despairing
appeal for mercy, while the
priests solemnly answer that
Rhadames’ doom is beyond re
call,
| The final scene is a unique sei -
ting, the floor of the Temple be
ing above the stage, while the
vault below also is shown. Above
the priests and priestesses are
chanting, and below in the semi
darkness Rhadames is waiting
for the last stone to be cement
ed into his tomb. He begins the
great duet. most wonderful of all
Verdl's gifted creations, “Tha
Fatal Stone.” He sings of his love
for Aida, and as he sings a voice
is heard in the farther Trecesses
of the tomb. It is the voice of
Aida! She has crept into the vault
to die with her lover, and their
volces hlend in the lovely, haunt
ing “Farewell, O Earth.” The
Final curtain fallas,
J. O. Cochran, general manager of
parks, Wednesday told of having oh
tained a wonderful pet bear for the
Grant Park Zoo. It has a silky black
coat of hair, weighs 550 pounds and was
& much-loved pet of its former master,
@ man in Florida.
‘‘Are you going to treat him as a
pet?’ Mr. Cochran was asked.
“He was the other man’'s pet,” Mr
Cochran replied. “T took a good look at
him and then put him in a cage. He
will stay there so far as I am con
cerned.”
