ATLANTA. GA—
MARIA BARRIENTOS SWEEPS THRONG AT THE AUDITORIUM
N VMT'
Ballet Led by Rosina Galli
Proves Attractive Feature Af
ter Be!lini Opera. °
By DUDLEY GLASS.
An audience not so large as that
which marked the opening per
formance but which comfortably
filled the Auditorium Wednesday
night sat in breathless attention be
neath the spell of Marla Barrientod
flawless voice, exhibitéd in the 90-
year-old Bellinfopera called “La Son
nambula.” It Rad expected marvels
after the news of her Lucla had
spread, and it was not disappointed.
Mme. Barrientog made a splendid
impression whth the two lovely alrs
which come exrly in the first act, Her
voice rose gracefully, easily, to the
highest notes and floated down again
as a bird settles to earth. She ap
peared to be =inging absolutely with
out exertion and, indeed, to be rather
holding something h? reserve, Only
the absolute silence the audience, in
tent on hearing every note, gave the
delicate coloratura made her volce
clearly audible in the further seats.
But she never falled to receive this
tribute.
The duet with the tenor was beau
tifully sung by Mme. Barrientos, as
were the airs allotted her in the
chamber scene in the second act, It
was not, however, untlll'he last act
that she found the opportunity for
vocal display which alone keeps “La
Sonnambula” alive-—the “Ah, non
credea” sung as the sleep-walker re
calls her happy days and the even
more ornamental aria at the very
close, “Ah, non giunge.”
Voice Fairly Dances.
" In these the singer ran the scales
in seeming deflance of difficulties.
Her voice danced up and down the
pearly way as a Paderewski's finger
tips dance over the keyvboard, It
glided from lower to upper register
without an indication of the change.
The air gave her a repetition of the
success she made in the Mad Scene
of the previous afternoon and when
the curtain fell she was kept bow
ing and smiling before it until at last
she waved her slender arme in fare
well and vanished.
Edith Mason, the young American
soprano, was well recelved in her At-

lanta debut. The role of Lisa gives
her a pretty air {n the first act, but
slight opportunity after that. Flora
Perini, the contralto who also made
her local debut, revealed a well
rounded and beautiful voice In the
Teresa role. She should prove a most
pleasing Nancy in “Martha.”
Adamo Didur, one of the favorite
bassos of the company, did not find
the arias of the Count so well suited
to his volce as some of the dramatio
roles he has sung here, notably that
of the blind old king in “L’'Amore de!
Tre Re” and Marcel in “Les Hugue
nots” but his air in the first act was
pleasing.
Teror Is' Uncertain,
The first appearance of Glacomo
Dammaco, the new tenor, was by no
means a triumph. He appeared to he
at the merey of the premptor im the
first act. He had difficulty in keep-
Ing on the key and added little to
the beauty of the performance. He
sang the fine third act air rather well,
but 1 do not b\ollovf the seven bows
he made before the ‘curtain were jus
tifled,, for the audience—or at least
that section whose comments | could
| hear—were demanding Barrientos and
not the tenor,
The opera is filled with dainty and
delightful melodies beautifully sung
by the chorue. The settings are ex
@ llent. :
At the close of the opera the Metro
politan balfet, with Rosina Galli and
Gluseppe Bonfiglio as the priheipal
dancers, appeared in a series’of di
vertissements which were enthusias
tically applauded. The first part was
made up of classic, conventional
dancing. The second was Spanish in
character, opening with a spirited
bolero and introducing Miss Galli ina
Spanish dance set to Thome's “La
Mandoline.” Allesandre Scuri took
Polacco's place at the conductors
desk for the ballet and directed his
musicians with fire and spirit. One
of the most delightful events of the
evening was the intermezzo played
between the two parts of the ballet
-4 waltz movement by Marchetti-
Tavan.

Clayt Robson 1s Biggest
Crowd of Opera Season;
‘Dutch’ Frank Makes Mob
By CHESTER FIELD.
There wds a crowd at the Audi
torium Wednesday night. The
sentence sounds bromidic._ There
Itave been crowds at the Aadito
rium ever since opera was first
presented in Atlanta,
The sentence should read “there
were two crowds at the Audito
rium Wednesday night,” and one
of them was Clayt Robson.
After the first act of “La Son
nambula” the greatest congestion
of the week was seen in the foyer
and the refreshment room. In
this throng, closely pressed be
tween pink tulle and green crepe
de chine was Asa Candler, Jr,
athirst for information and his
father's wéll-known beverage. He
obtained the thirst assuager and
then asked gquéstions, which is the
best known way of obtaining in
formation.
“Why,” said he, “are we jamgmed
in here like sardines? The foyer
seems as roomy as it ever was,
Taft Hall has lost none of its re
sembklance in size to the truly
great man it was named for, and
still I have two persons on each
of my pet corns? Why, I ask?”
Cause of Crush Discovered.
Just then Clayt Robson hove
into view. :
“Ah, 1 see now,” said Mr. Can
dler; “there are two crowds, and
here comes the larger one.”
And, there wasn't a person in
the four or five thousand who at
tended the performance who
didn’t see Clavt. He looked as
big as all outdoors. He was clad
in conventional avening clothes of
a 1916 model, while about his am
ple waist was enough silk waist
coat to make all China rich.
\Ho breezed through the throng
as easily as a pickpocket goes
through a circus crowd, leaving a
wake of femininity fairly gibber
ing their fear as he missed their
silken clad pedal adornments
with his number 12 patent leath
ers.
There were some who had to
ask if Jess Willard had arrived
for the cpera and be told the
claims to fame of the Milledge
ville statesman.
Clayt was radiating good hu
mor. .
“What,” he was asked, “will.the
common masses of the common
people say if they hea® that yon
are here in this revelry regalia
and white gloves t‘ hoot 7"
“It doesn’'t matter,” smiled
Clayt. *Mine enemies will swear
the whisky trust paid for my
tickets and these clothes, - too,
But I'm here as an escort to my
friend John Moore.”
Tt was then that the famous At

Just then the crush became un
bearable. Asa Candler, Jr., again
looked for the cause. It was 320
pounds of Charley Frank, the
baseball leader, who had just
jammed his way to the soft drink
establishment,
“I'm going to get out of here,”
said Asa, Jr. “This lgn’t a crowd

An Amazing Inferview
With One of the Leading

the writer some amazing facts. Hs
said: “Little did I dream of the tre.
mgndous business that | now ha\f-;1
would be mine when | opened my
new store at this location, which is
considered one of the best on the
street. l(dy first Satunday’s business
opened my eyes, and the next two‘
Saturdays my store was 8o crowded
and the_ people in front of my win
dows that we had to have six extra
salesmen. | have more than estab. |
lished a business. | have created 3
demand for the class of shoes that |
sell, and it has forced me to have a
buyer at the big shoe cities to meet
the demand.” The above interview
was very interesting to me, as | have ‘
watched his business-grow by leaps
and bounds, until now Mr. Jones lsx
considered one of the leading shoe ‘
men in the South. His mechanical
effects in his window have drawn
huge crowds, and the cleanliness of
his store and the courtesy have been
an important factor. Mr. Jones tells
me that owing to thF limited space
he has, he will be compelled to dou
ble his shelving quarters. It is with
great pride that Atlanta looks upon
Mr. Jones as one of her successful
sons in business—and have paid a
great tribute to his integrity by fill
ing his store to its capacity.~—Adver
