WASHINGTON, April 26, —OMclals |

be able to obtain as satisfactory as i

General Scott's Instructions * from |

firmness as well as tact in dealing |
With the Mexican Whr Minister.

concerning the character of the “co

ifference, downright hostility and
treachery. Obregon will be made to
understand that if his forces do not

A statement issued early today by
the press bureau as to the proceed
ings of the first secret session, says
that unless 06,000 married men have

;ll‘ho following Is the statement, in
full:
“At the secret session Premier As
quith stated that the recruiting fig
ures up to date are short ¢f the re
quirements necessary to our proper
military efforts. The Government has
determined upon three proposais:
“1. Prolongation of the war service
tima of time-expired men,
“2. The empowering of the military
to transfer territorinls to any unit
where they are needed,
“3. The rendering «f exemipted men
to be Hable to service immediately at
the expiration of thelr certificates of
exemption,
“With a view to the ultimate addl
tion of the forces, the Government
proposes to conseript youths under 18
on August 15 as soon as they have
reached the age of 18,
“Premier Asquith also stated that
the Government, recognising the nec
essary number of unavallabhle service
time men required under the present
Arrangments. agreed upon an imme-
Qiate effort to obtain men by volun
tary enlistment of unattested marriad

portunity of Hearing Edith
Mason, Soprano.
K ——
By CHARLES HENRY MELTZER.
Tonight Atlanta should have the
Ip!ousuro of hearing Miss Edith Ma
son, young American soprano, for the
first time in opera.
She will be the Lisa in the perform
ance of “La Sonnambula,” a part too
small, perhaps, to give one more than
a faint notion of the real merit and
great promise of the artist.
High hopes are built upon Miss
Mason at the Metropolitan. Her volée
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
Sophie, in “Der Rosenkavalier.”
In a little talk at the hotel at which
she is stopping, Miss Mason told me
some of her experiences,
“I am a St, Louis girl,” sald Miss
Mascn. “It was there that, at the age
of 7, 1 first heard an opera. After at.
tending a performance of ‘Trovatore’ 1
| told"my father and mother that I had
| quite resolved some day to become a
singer. When I grew older, they op
posed my plan. , But'l held firm and
went abroad to study music.
“In Paris I studied under that won
derful Frenchman, Edmond Clement,
the tenor--well remembered in New
York by his beautiful singing of such
parts as Werther and the des Grieux
of Massenet's ‘Manon.” I was his only
pupil, by the byve—a_great honor.
“On, my. return Ifi\':a engaged by
! Mr. Henry Russellfand sang leading

I was known as Edith Barnes.
“It was in Chicago that I got my

heard me rehearsing there for a con
cert. He persuaded me not to appear,
and introduced me to Mr. Gatti
l(‘usnzz:n who, on engaging me, said
he thought it would be better for me
to change my name
“Till this season I had never sung
German. My taste and training both
incline me to prefer French and Ital
ian. T have s‘:died quit: a number
of Italian and French roles And 1
am always hoping that Mr. Gatti-
Casazza will add some French operas

Story of “Aida’ the
~Operaon Thursday
Verdi’'s glowing opera, “Aida,”
has twice been sung here, and no
work in all the Metropolitan's
repertoire has proved more pop
ular. It served to introduce Ca
ruso in the first Metropolitan
season, and he sang that night to
more than 7,000 persons, the rec
ord audience still, for after that
night the fire regulations pre
vented standing in the aisles. It
was repeated in 1912, with the
house filled to capacity.
“Aida"” represents the height of
Verdi’'s skill in writing colorful
and dramatic musiec. 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 “Otello”
that he was commisgsioned by the
Viceroy of Egypt to prepare a
work for the opening of the new
opera house in Cairo. Naturally,
the composer chose an Egyptian
theme, and it gave him oppor
tunity for Oriental magnificence
in music and in stage settings. It
is a “big"” apera in several senses,
presented with opulence of scen
ery and costuming, filled with
“big"” scenes and martial glory,
and overflowing from curtain to
curtaln with glowing vocal gems
for individual singers, duets, trios
and quartets
Aida (soprano), the daughter of
Amonasro (baritone), King of
Fthiopia, has been captured and
is held as a slave at the court of
Egypt at ancient Memphis. She
has won the love of Rhadames
(tenor), a voung soldier, who in
turn is loved by the Princess Am
neris (contralto), who becomes
furiously jealous.
The Return of the Captives.
Rhadames, made commander of
the army and sent on an expedi
tion, returns with rrany Ethiopian
captives, among them Amonasro,
who conceals his identity, but is
recogriized by hig daughter. The
King (basseo) bestows his daugh
ter upon the reluctant Rhadames.
Amonasro forces Aida to persuade
her lover to betray his country,
and they plan a flight together,
but Amneris overhears the lovers
and denounces them. Rhadames
is condemned by 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 lover,
and they suffocate in each other's
arms,
The curtain rises without 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
enters, 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
guards, 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 join in a stirring trio
urging Rhadames to guard
“Nile’'s Sacred Shores.” All de
part but Aida, who begins her
aria, in which love 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
gltar in the Temple of Vulcan,
where the priests and priestesses
have gathered to bless the army.
Behind the scenes is heard a
chant of praise to the Goddess
Ptah, Ramfis and Rhadames
join in the duet, with chorus,
“God, Guardian and Avenger,”
the young solMier is presented
with the sacred armor, and the
curtain falls on the mystic dance
of the priestesses.
Act II opens upon a hall in the
apartments of the Princess Am
neris, with her slaves adorning her
to receive Rhadames, about to re
turn in triumph from the wars. The
ballet is introduced here for a mo
ment. Aida, the slave, approaches,
and she and Amneris give a series
of duets, in which Amneris gloats
over the slave-girl's love for the
bero and dwells upon her ap
proaching marriage, and Aida
sings of her love and her renun
ciation. The blending of soprano
and contralto is beautifully con
trived.
A Splendid Scene.
Rhe second scene of Act IT is
one of the most ornate and splen
did in all opera. It is outside the
walls of Thebes, and the Kthg and
his court await the entrance of
the victorious army. A thrilling
chorus is sung, and there enter
the Egyptian troops, preceded by
trumpeters, dancing girls and im
ages of the gods. The two bands
are playing the fimous Triumph
al March, and RMadames, the con
queror, is horne'in under a cano
py to receive the plaudits of the
people, The ballet has its most
important scene here,
The captives enter, and at once
Aida recognizes her father, the
King of Ethiopia. He signals to
her not to hetray his rank, and
passes for an ordinary soldier. A
fine quartet for the principals be
gins he{lfl. with Amonasro plead
ing for his fellows, Aida and Rha
dames urging mercy, and the
priests demanding death for all
the captives. The King yields to
the appeal for mercy, and frees
all the prisoners but Aida's fa
ther He then bestows the hand
of Amneris upon Rhadames, and
the curtain falls ypon one of the
most splendid eclimaxes which
Verdi has written,
Act 111 reveals moonlight on the
banks of the Nile, the Metropoii
stan providing a beautiful setting.
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 26, 1916.
The Temple of Isis stands be
neath the palms, 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 go inte
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 briiliant
numbers of the opera.
Here enters Amonasro, who
tells Aida that his people have
risen, and urges Jer to persuade
Rhadames to reveal his plan of
campaign, so that the Ethiopians
may take advantage of his plans.
Aida refuses.. They have three
duets in succession, ineluding the
.famous “Thou Shalt See Once
More the Balmy Forests” and
“Up, Then! Rise and Destroy.”
Aida is ovecome and consents to
betray her lover,
Repulsed by Aida.
Rhadames enters and endeavors
to embrace Aida, but she repulses
him. He protests that he loves
her and not Amneris, and the
slave girls begs him to flee from
the country with her. He con
sents, and reveals the plan of
campaign, which, to his horror,
is overheard by Amonasro. They
are about to flee together when
Amneris, who has been concealed
behind a pillar, rushes in and de
nounces them. Rhadames is ar
ested, while Aida and her father
make their escape.
Act 1V 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 Aida. He refuses, and their
- duet is exceptionally beautiful.
- Rhadames is led to the room of
Judgment, while Amneris and
~ Ramfis, with a chorus, sing “Ah,
~ Death Approaches.” As the
~ priests cross the hall the repent
~ant Princess voices a despairing
‘ appeal for mercy, while the
priests solemnly answer that
} Rhadames’ doom is beyond re
call.
The final scene is a unique set
[ 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
darknes: Rhadames 1s waiting
for the last stone to be cement
ed into his tomb. He beging the
great duet, most wonderful of all
Verdi's gifted creations, “The
~ Fatal Stone.” He sings of his love
for Aida, and as he sings a voice
is heard in the farther recesses
of the tomb. It is the voice of
Aida! She has crept into the vault
to dle with her lover, and their
voices blend in the lovely, haunt
ing “Farewell, O Earth.” The
Final curtain falls,
J. O. Cochran, general manager of
parks, Wednesday told of having ob
tained a wonderful pet bear for the
Grant Park Zoo. It has a silky black
coat of hair, weighs 550 pounds and was
a much-loved pet of its former master,
a 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. “I took a good look at
him and then put him in a cage. He
will stay there so far as I am con
cerned.”
