Atlanta’s ninth opera season, great
est in her history from the attend
ance standpoint, closes Saturday with
*wo performances. Bellini's tuneful
Md work, “I Puritana,” is the mati
nee bill, and in the evening there
will be “Cavalleria Rusticana” and
“Pagliacei,” the latter with Scotti
singing Tonio and Caruso in his great
role of Canio,
Por those who are impressed with
the bigness of things, the figures in
the attendance record will be of in
terest when they are announced. So
far, it is known that the matined on
Thursday, when Caruso sang in
“Martha,” drew to the Auditorium
the largest audience it has ever held
for opera. well over 6,500 persons.
The cash receipts were something
more than $22000. This included the
war tax of 70 per cent, but the opera
ompany and the Music Festival As
sociation drew neariy $20,000 from it.
The high record of the past was made
in the first season, when Caruso
sang in ‘Aida” on Wednesday night
and the receipts were $18,500. But
there was no limit on the standing
room then, as there is now.
The audiences all the week have
been exceptionally iarge, surpassing
all previous seasons. The matinee
Saturday was to draw a big house.
For Saturday night there is not a
ticket remaining at the Auditorium,
It was said late Friday. A few may
be had at (he hotel cigar counters,
left by persons unable, for various
reasons, to use them, or willing to
forego pleasure for profit. Fwenty
five dollars was offered for a pair
of good seats Triday afternoon, and
they could not be found at that price.
It appeared Monday that the at
tendance for thes»week would be be
tween 40,000 and 45,000 persons, and |
that the receipts would run to per
haps $115,000 to $120.000, These are
estimated, and not given ut irom
any official course. |
But this is certain: More persons |
will have attended opera in Atlanta !
this week than ever attended any
onera in' any week anywhere in the |
world. And more money will have
been expended on tickets for opera |
than in any other week, anywhere. |
Caruso saug Thursday afternoon and |
will sing SatuNlay night to more per
sons than he ever reached at one
time before.
Credit to Auditorium.
It is only the possession of a build- l
ing like the Auditorium, with its vast
seating capacity, that makes suvh:
records possible—or, in?;lccd. makes
opera in Atlanta possiblé: The re- |
ceipts must be so large that only by |
dividing the total among an enor- |
mous patronage can onera be made
financially successful. If it were given
in even a large opera house, the man
agement would have to charge $lO
or more per seat. As it is, Atlantans
pay only $5 for the best seats, while
the New York price is $6, with the
speculators asking a great deal more
and getting it !
The cast for the matinee. “I Puri
tani,” Saturday, includéd Lazaro, Bar
rientos, De Luca, Mardones, D’'Angelo
and Raymonde Delaunois,
For “Cavalleria” the cast will in
clude Rosa Ponsell, as Santuzza,
Kathleen Howard or Delaunois as |
Lola; Althouse as Turiddu; Chalmers i
as Alfio, and Marie Mattfield as Lola.
For “Pagliaeci” the cast will iw.i
Caruso as Canio, Scotti as 'Tonio,
I'lorence Easton as Nedda, Bada as}

| when he sang the great first act of
i “La Boheme.” He was given an ova
| tion which continued until the hands
{of the audicnce were tired, and the
jaction of the drama was stopped
'while Martinelli bowed again and
again to the applause.

successes of the week from the ar
tistic standpoint, though the audience

|AB many persons as can be sdated
in the Metropolitan Opera House. of
New York, heard the charmiaz Puc
cini work and gave it rapt attcntion.
Frances Alda. the lovely wife of the
impressario, Gatti-Casazza, was the
Mimi of the evening, and she sang
'the role with exquisite delicacy and
| rare beauty. I have heard neothing/in
| years quite so affecting as ner little
song before the death scene.
' The Spirit Is There.
| But there is nothing in opera which
I'su touches one's emotion as “La lo
heme,” after all. call it sugary, senti
mental music if _you will; the fact
rémains that there is something about
the swelling, surging Rodolfo motif
' that seems to enter the listener’s soul
and permit him to join in spirit in
| that great outburst of the' poet’s heart
l——-hxs story of his ambitions and his
sorrows, his longing for sympathy
!zmd for success, and finally his love.
' There is none so tone-deaf that this
'motif will not creep into his ears and
haunt him, not only throughout the
,action of “Boheme,” but in the days
'to come. It is recurrent wnenever
' Rodolfo and Mimi meet. It wanders,
half concealed, through almost the
. whole orchestral score, always rising
supreme when moments of great emo
| tion are reached. Sometimos [ think
| that if Puccini had written nothing
besides the two leading motifs of
“Boheme” he still would have been a
’grvnl composer,
' The other is the little air that is
| first introduced when Mimi tells her
| story. "Mi Chiamano Mimi" it is call
ed, and it runs like a chain of pearls
throughout the remainder of the
score. It is present when Mimi and
, Rodolfo meet at the city gates, it is
:jnlnml with the Rodolfo theme in that
marvelous death scene at the close,
i when the violins -sing it softly in the
pit.
Other Fine Airs.
There are other fine airs in “Bo
heme.” There is the moonlight duet
iwhhh closes the first act, but even
this is a new phrasing of the Rodolfo
i theme. There are the sparkiing waltz
song of Musetta and the beautifully
arranged trio and quartet of the thied
| act and the pathetié¢ “addio” which
| dies away in the distance as the rec
‘onclled lovers stroll down the nar
| row street of old Paris. There is the
lovely duet for tenor and baritone as
the curtain rises on the fourth gct,
and the famous basgso air as Colline
sells his precious coat. But charming
as they all may be, they are forgot
ten when the voice of Rodolfo rises
again in the passionate, heart-broken
struing of that great air, the ‘“rac
i conton,”
Our old friend, Antonio Bcotti, sang
’Frhl:ny night for the first time this
season. He was the Marcello, friend
of Rodolfo, and if there were any

SOUTHERN PHOTU MATERIAL CO & |
SEVENTY-TWO NORTH BRUAD

\
} Federal labor officers expressed
themselves as confident Saturday that
Atlanta and Georgia mills and other
manufacturing plants will comply
with the new child labor clause to
the Federal tax act, which went into
effect Friday.
This new clause provides that any
concern employing children under 14
years old, or any concern that works
children between 14 and 16 more than
eight hours a day and six days a
week shall be penalized by a special
tax of 10 per cent of its net profit.
It was stated that some mills in
which children are employed were
expected to meet the requirements
of the new law by working two shifts
each day, so that neither shift would
be on duty more than eight hours.
None of the Atlanta mills will be af
fected, it was believed.
J. A. Baugh, revenue agent, acting
in the absence of Revenue Collector
Blalock, explained that the purpose
of the Government in enforeing the
new child labor clause is 15t g 6 much
to obtain revenue as it is to regulate
working conditions of children and
that hc anticipated but little revenue
would be received.

! WASHINGTON HEADQUARTERS,
SOLDIERS’ SERVICE BUREAU,
| April 26.—Information just received
from the office of the general staff
| indicates that the new Victory war
service medal will not be available
'l’or distribution for several months.
*'he medal is to be issued by the
Governments tof all of the Allied na
tions, and the committee of fine ayts,
ywith headquarters at Washington, is
’now engaged in working out a suit
able design for the United States
lmedal. From the general specifica

'provids for a bronze medal 36 milli
meters in diameter, On one side will
be a winged Victory standing full
face; on the reverse will be the in
seription, “The Greatest War for Civ
ilization,” in the language of the
country concerned, and either the
coats-of-arms or the names of the
different Allied nations.
Neither has the service ribbon yet

(By International News Service.)
WASHINGTON, April 26,—The sit
uation at the peace conference is
“clearing rapidly,” it was stated in
advices reaching the White House
from Paris today. The President's
action in reference to Fiume, it'was
stated, is “meeting with indorsement
everywhere "
Official Washington today believed
that the crisis caused by President
Wilson's refusal to sanction the dis
position of, Flume to Italy would
| speedily pass, and that the Italians
would not withdraw from the peace
conference,
. Secretary of the Interior Lane. in a
formal statement, today indorsed
President Wilson's attitude and as
‘serted that the Fiume decision was
but a guestion of “good judgment.”
“There are bne or two matters con
nected with the Fiume situation that
should not be overlooked,” Secretary
Lane stated. “First, Fiume was not
to be given to Italy by the secret
treaty made on Italy’s entrance into
the war, called the London Treaty.
Under this treaty Fiume was to go to
Croatia, which is now a part of Jugo-
Slavia. And this is where President
Wilson wishes it to go now.
“Second, the question of giving
Fiume to Italy thus becomes a ques
tion of good judgment and President
Wilson and Premiers Lloyd George
and Clemenceau unitedly concluded
that to give Fiume to Italy would be
unjust to the new republics east of
the Adriatic, as Fiume is the only
port on the eastern side of the Adri
atic which can be serviceable as a sea
éntrance to Jugo-Slavia and adjoin
ing countries.
“Third, the Italian claim is based
on Italian desire, not on any right
other than the claim that as its peo
ple are Italians they should become a
part of Italy as they were 100 years
ago. But to gratify this desire now
would be manifestly to wrong others
and thus maintain a sore spot on the
Adriatic which would cause consl:mt‘
irritation. Italy, with Venlce and
Trieste, can live happily and inde
pently witcout Fiume, while the
young republics on the east of the
Adriatic could not live a free life
without access directly to the world‘
by water.” ]

Wounded Soldiers
Several thousand persons who
hadn't bought tickets heard several
of the Metropolitan stars Friday
afternoon.
The lucky ones were a big audi
ence of negroes at Morris Brown
University, and hundreds of woun
ed soldiers at the general hospital
at Fort McPherson. Caruso went
to the negro college to hear the
chorus there sing “Swing Low,
Sweet Chariot,” and paid his way
with three songs. Miss Ponselle
and Raefoels Diar went to Fort
McPherson to sthg to the wounded
Americans.
Mrs. Caruso went to the school
with her famous husband, and they
were accompanied by Colonel W. L.
Peel, head of the Music Festival
Association, and a friend or two.
After the negroes had sung numer
ous airs, they demanded a song by
Caruso. He sent for his music and
gave them Tosti's “The Little
Mouth,” Denza’s “Ecstasy” and Fa
tuo's “Sento Che t'Amo.” |
Miss Ponselle sang in the audito
rioum of the Y. M. C. A. Building
No. 2. Her audience was on
stretchers and in wheel-chairs.
She sang them an aria from “The
Force of Destiny” and 'Tosti's
"Good-Bye,” and then #S'wanee
River.”
The affair at the hospital was ar
ranged by A. Baumberger, of the
War Camp Community Service, and
Colonel W. L. Peel, of t he Atlanta
Music Festival Association.
~ The right of the military authori
‘ties at Camp Benning to order own
‘ers and tenants to move from land

in the plan to enlarge the camp and
establish a training school, will be
tested Tuesday before Judge William
T. Newman, in the United States
Court, in injunction proceedings
‘brought by a number of Chatta

The orders to the owners to vacate
the land were based on condemnation
proceedings filed through the United
States District Attorney last Novem.
ber, under a special act of Congress
permitting the seizure of land for
‘military purposes. The landowners at
Camp Benning set out that the war
emergency has passed, and that the
‘military authorities can not now move
under the special law. It was de
clared that farm and labor conditions
had been demoralized by the orders
to vacate.
Military authorities at Camp Ben

from Columbus, said that the Camp
Benning project would be seriously
interfered with should the injunction
