Atlanta’s ninth opera season, great
est in her history from the attend
ance standpoint, closes Saturday with
two performances. Bellini’s tuneful
old work, “I Puritana,” is the mati
\
adee bill, and in the evening there
will be “Cavalleria Rusticapa” and
“Pagliacci,” the latter with Seotti
singing Tonio and Caruso in his great
role of Canio,
For 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 matineé on
‘Thursday, when Caruso sang in
“Martha,” drew to the Auditorium
the largest audience it has ever held
for opera, well over 6500 persons.
The cash receipts were something
more than $22,000. This included the
war tax of 70 per cent, but the opera
company 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 excepilonally large, surpasaing
all previous seasons. The matinee
Saturday was to draw a big house.
F‘:‘r Saturday night there is not a
ticket remaining at the Auditorium,
it was said late Friday. A few may
be had at the hotel cigar counters,
feft by persons unable, for various
reasons, to use them, or willing to
forego pleasure for profit. Ywenty
five dollars was offered for a pair
of good seats I'riday afternoon, and
they could not be found at that price.
1t appeared Monday that the._at
tendance for the 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 {rom
any official course,
But this is certain: More persons
will have attended opera in Atlanta
this week than ever attended any
opera 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 sang Thursday afternoon and
will sing Satu%lay night to more per
sons than he ever reached at one
time before.
Credit to Auditorium,
It is only the possession of a build
ing like the Auditorium, with its vast
seating capacity, that makes such
records possible—or, ingdeed, makes
opera in Atlanta possible. The re
ceipts must be so large that only by
dividing the total among <an enor
mous patronage can opera be made
financially successful. If it were given
in even a large opera house, the man
agement would have to charge 310
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, included 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
as Alfio, and Marie Mattfield as Lola.
For “Pagliacci” the cast will be:
(Caruso as Canio, Scotti as Tonio,
Florence Easton as Nedda,” Bada as
Beppe, Laurenti as Silvio. Gennare
Papi will eonduct both operas.

in Atlanta and sung them well, reach
ed the high water shark i'riday nigh:
when he sang the great first act of
“La Boheme.” He was given an ova
tion which continued until the hands
of the audicnce were tired, and the
action of the drama was stopped
while Martinelli bowed again and
again to the applause.
The opera was one of the great
successes of the week from thea ar
tistic standpoint, though the audience
was perhaps the smallest, tlicre he
ing several rows of back seats un
filled. But even at that, nearly twice
as many persons 2s can be saiied
in the Metropolitan Opera House. of
New York, heard the charmiaz Puc
cini work and gave it rapt attention.
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 nething in
yvears quite so affecting as ner little
song before the death scene.
The Spirit Is There.
But there is nothing in opera which
80 touches one’'s emotion as “La lso
heme,” after all, call it sugary, senti
mental musie if you will; the fact
remains 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
~his story of his ambitions and his
sorrows, his longing for sympathy
and for guccess, 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 ecome. It is recurrent whenever
Rodolfo and Mimi meet. It wanders,
half concealed, through almost the
whole orchestral score, always rising
supreme when moments of grent emo
tion are reached. Sometimos [ think
that if Puceini had written nothing
besides the two leading motifs of
“Boheme” he still would have been a
great composer,
The other is the little air that is
first introduced when Mimi tells her
story. “Mi (‘hsamtmo Mimi” it is call
ed, and it rung 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
joined with the Rodolfo theme in that
marvelous death scene at the close,
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
which closes the first aet, but even
this is a new phrasing of the Rodolfo
theme, There are the sparkiing waltz
song of Musetta and the beautifully
arranged trio and quartet of the thied
act and the patheti¢ “addio” which
dies away in the distance as the rec
onciled lovers stroll down the nar
row street of old Paris. There is the
Jovely duet for tenor and baritone as
the eurtain rises on the fourth get,
and the famous basso air as Cplline
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
strains of that great air, the *“rac
conton.”
Our old friend, Antonio Scotti, sang
Friday night for the first time this
season, He was the Marcello, friend
of Rodolfo, and if there were any
doubt that Scotti still can sing it was

Federal labor officers expressed
themselves as confident Saturday that
Atlanta and Georgia mills and other
manufacturing plants will comply
with thé new child labor clause to
the Federal tax act, which went into
effect Friday. i
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 m;
which children are employed were
expected to meet the rmmirements;
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 enforcing the

WASHINGTON, April 26.—The sit
pation at the peace conference Is
“elearing 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
evervwhere.”
Official Washington today believed
that the erisis caused by President
Wilson's refusal to sanciion the dis
position of Fiume 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 question of “good judgment.”
“There are one or two mitters con
nected with the Kiume situation that
shouid not be overiooked,” Seccretary
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 whdre 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
atie which can be serviceable as a sea
entrance td 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 constant
irritation. Italy, with Venice and
Trieste, can live happily and inde
pently witaout 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 wound
ed soldiers at the general hospital
at Fort McPherson. (?a.:'uso went
to the negro college to hear the
chorus there sing “Swing Low,
Sweet (‘hurtgt." and paid his way
with three songs. Miss Ponselle
and Raefoels Diar went to Fort
McPherson to sing to the wounded
Americans.
Mrs. Caruso went to the school
with her famous husband, and they
were accompanied by Colonel W, L.,
I'eel, 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 “Eestasy” and Fa

ties at Camp Benning to order own
ers and tenants to move from land
near the camp, so that it may be used
in the plan to enlarge the camp and
establish a traming school, will be
tested Tuesday before Judge William
T. Newman, in the Upited States
Court, in injunction proceedings
brought by a number of Chatta
hoochee County citizens. i
The orders to the owners to \'a(‘tt(‘
the land were based on condemnat¥on
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
