Mason, Soprano. i
By CHARLES HENRY MELTZER.
Tonight Atlanta should have the
'pleaaure of hearing Miss Edith Ma
sßon, 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 votce
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 Rosengavalier."
In a little talk at the hotel at which
she is stopping, Miss Mason told me
some of her experiences.
“1 am a St. Louis girl,” said Miss
Mason. *“lt 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 hecome a
singer, When I grew older, they op
posed my plan. But I held firm and
went abroad to study music.
“In Paris I studied under that won

the tenor--well remembered in New
York by his beautiful singing of such
parts as Werther and the des Grieux

“On my return T wa: engaged by
IMr. Henry Russell and sang leading
roles at the Boston Opera House—
lumnnx 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
cert. He persuaded me neot to appear,
and introduced me to Mr. Gatti-
Casazza, who, on engaging me, said
he thought it would be better for me
to change my name.
“Till this season I had never sung

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 music. He had out
grown his love for the purely
Iyric, melodious works typified by
his “Trovatore,” and it was yet
sixteen years before he was to
compose the more classic “Otello”
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 chose an Egyptian
theme, and it gave him oppor
tunity for Oriental magnificence
in music and in stage settings. It
is & “big” opera in several senses,
presented with opulence of scen
ery and costuming, filled with
“big"” scenes and martial glory,
and overflowing from curtain to
curtain with glowing voecal gems
for individual singers, duets, trios
and quartets
Aida (soprano), the daughter of
Amonasro (baritene), King of
¥thiopia, 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 rmany Ethiopian
captives, among them Amonasro,
who conceals his identity, but is
recognized by his daughter. The
King (basso) bestows his daugh
ter upon the reluctant Rhadames.
Amonasro forees 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, Aida,
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
(hbasso), 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 Alda, and there
follows the trio, “Alas! The Cry
of War I Hear.”
said:
A martia) strain announces the
entrance of the King and his
guards, who recelve 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 emotm& Recovering, she
sings the ppealing “Sacred
Names,” indicative of her con
fiieting 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 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 soldier is presented
with the sacred armor, and the
curtain falls on the mystic dance
of the priestesses,
Act TI opens upon a hall in the
apartments of the Princess Am
neris, with her slaves adorning her
to recelve 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
hero 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 Scens.
The second scene of Act II is
one of the most ornate and splen
did in all opera. It is outside the
walls of Thebes, and the King and
his court await the entrance of
the victorious army. A thrilling
chorus is sung, and there enter
the Egyptian troops, preceded by
trunfi:eters. dancing girls and im
ages of the gods. The two bands
are playing the famous Triumph
al March, and Rhadames, the con
queror, is borne 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 betray his rank, and
passes for an ordinary soldier. A
fine quartet for the prineipals be
gins here, 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 upon one of the
most splendid climaxes which
Verdi has written.
Act IIT reveals moonlight on the
banks of the Nile, the Metropoli
tan 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 ints
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 Amonasre, who
tells Aida that his people have
risen, and urges her to persuade
Rhadames to reveal his plan of
campaign, #0 that the Ethiopians
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.”
Aida is ovecome and consents to
betray her lover.
Repulsed by Aida,
Rhadames enters and endeavors
to embrace Alda, but she repulses
him. He protests that he loves
her and not Amneris, and the
slave girls begs him to fiee 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 Alda and her father
make their escapa.
Act IV 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 crossethe hall the repent
ant Princess volces 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 he
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 is waiting
for the last stone to be éement
ed into his tomb. He begins the
great duet, most wonderful of all
Verdi's gifted creations, “Tha
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 die 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 vou going to treat him as a
pet?’ Mr. Fo&rln was asked,
‘““He was the otheér man’'a 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.”
