Puccini's Japa nese grand opera was heard nightly by enthusiastic audiences that tested the capacity of the house. It was a re peat of last year's fine ' success when the fascinating work ran the for largest number of consecutive performances of any grand opera in ny country. In the eight prc?ormances now be ing given each week during the tour of the big company that Is coming to this city, four prima donas, all of them of great beauty and grace, are alternating in the leading role. Among the new alagerr Mr. Savage has brought forward this year is the sweet-voiced Phoebe Strakosch. who captures everyone with her beauty and art. For the role of Suzuki, the sympathetic Japanese maid, there to the German-American artist. Harriet Behnee, with a mewo voice oi rare dramatic quality. Another American artiste of note Is Miss Rena Vlvienne, whose youthfuhieas fully realises the Ideal butterflv according to Composer Puccini, who found her In Milan. MIhs Vlvlenne's voice shows even more brilliance in its upper register Hhan that of the gifted niece of Pattl. r n In th am cast with lvi- enne appears Miss Ethel Houston, the talented Southern songbird, who was found in Paris by Mr. Savage. Her rich contralto l exactly suited to the music of Suzuki. The third butterfly Is pretty Bet ty Wolff, the Gorman singer whose release was purchased from the Mainz opera directorate. Miss Wolff has a voice of exquisite .bell-like clarity and being the youngest grand opora star to come from abroad, she personates Madam Butterfly with all the enthu siasm of youth. Dora de Fillppe, from Paris, who slnps the part of the faithful phoCho-8aa with telling force and accuracy, Is Mr. Savage's fourth Madam Butterfly. Mr. Savage la also fortunate in the possesion of a trio of tenors of great worth. Mr. Schuller. Mr. Stiles and Mr. St. Willis are gifted with superb vnrm and thev sine the dlihcult music !

Humor Ilia Profound 'IiMiJ.Tcrcitfe to Life and lame Notable The Poet is Dead But His Girt Lives On. In the sorrowful chorus of eulogy following . the announcement of the passing of John Charles McNeill, I have failed to .hear some expected voices. Perhaps they have not been silent; more likely they are Just now overwhelmed with a sense of person al loss, and are awaiting some future fit occasion to honor his life and genius. No doubt some who have spoken words of praise In the Tiour of deepest grief, have done so more because their public position or edi torial duty demanded It, than from any desire to speak, out now of the gain they had, or the' loss they have. .. Some such feeling,; together with my arreat distance from North Caro lina, has. prevented me from adding to what has been said in The Observer.- But It has. been suggested that an expression from me; mlht be of some service.' Though I was. not by any means John Charles McNeill's oldest or nearest friend, yet It "may be that what 1 shall say will help, In some particulars, even those jwho knew him' best to a better under standing of Ills life. But If there be nothing new. and .my judgments be wrong, let this pass as a well meant tribute of friendship. Indeed, I hesitate to attempt It, fearing my own sense; of -loss may lead me into rhapsodical excess into lyrical fal setto and fine writing. . But I have tested and checked much I would write by this thought: Would he not laugh heartily at my '-overdone eulogy ar Its yery rhlgh key TGeodaste and good sense are often reactions from our lyrical moods and i opinions; and restraint rives a sense of higher praise , after all. So. trying ' to keep these things Jti. mind, but with no great assurance of aucceas, I will at tempt ' to tell what John Charles McNeill was to me; and. Incidentally, say something concerning his life, character and genius, v To me, as to most of those who knew him, "John Charles McNeill" was a name and fame destlneJ to grow through the long years given us to honor and love him as a man; to grow until a body of poetry from his pen should he known as far a any other man's work of his time; and live as far Into the future. This la a brave boast, perhaps a., lyrical boast, yet I believe the years would have filled the boast, and more. One satisfaction I have in what I am now writing Is that I affirmed it often to him. Indeed, T believe that all I shall say at this writing was made known to him In life. By him, I sail, the legends and traditions, the deeds of our unsung heroes and patriots, the sacrifices of our women, epics of war and peace, were to be sung at last; while the homely things he loved, old nature In all her ways with man, and the Idioms of humble life and race these were to be sung as before. , , This was demanding many golden gifts, though he owned to but one; but I believed that there was nothing In song that he could not do well, if he would but try. Perhaps It were best to give some reasons for this faith that was in me. For many who care nothing for poetry cared much for him as a man; and some few who care only for certain kinds, of poetry may not care for hla songs. If I can arouse the Interest of these friends, or confirm others In their love for his verses, as he called them; if I can give contour to the sense of loss by an outline of his regnant and nascent powers, then some service will be done Indeed. So, without any waste of time attempting to de fine an indefinable thing like genius, let me give those marks or signs of genius in him, which. In my opinion, eo distinguished him from many other true poets I have known, as- to lead me to entertain hopes of . as great things from him -as from them, if not greater. , Always first, there was his power of complete originality of conception. All true poets have this power, more or less; yet usually they prefer forms sanctioned by centuries of use, xonnets, heroic couplets, blank verse. He used the old forms too, but the typical McNeill poems differ not only from other poets' work, but from each other radically. His favorite form was the quatrain, yet are any of his quatrain poems duplicates in form? His forms, being created to clothe particular Ideas, fit those Ideas in line and stanza, and fit no others. Original forms In his ca.se mould ori ginal Ideas, perhaps attract them. Thus It Is, original forms reacting on original Ideas, and original ideas reacting on original forms, that, so far as I can see, in all his work there are only two conceptions which are not absolutely his own. And there was his spontaneous Imagery, so seldom smelling of the lamp This I attribute to his keen ap preclation and accurate knowledge of natural things, but not In the scientific way at all. All true poets have this power, too; but his slmlli tudes were seldom direct similes, never arithmetical ratios between prone facts; his favorite figures were metaphors, subtle allusions, and deli cately disguised personifications; he loved the pictorial word or phrase. Then, there was his wonderful gift of fluid speech. His tongue uncon sciously collocated liquid consonants nd mellow vowals, that is, when the ideaa were sweet. For a supreme Instance, consider: "Musing on days thine heart hath sorrow of." ' But when resonant and difficult sounds were needed as appropriate nidfc for strong ideas, the right consonants and vowals came together also. Let me not cease to bear In mind and repeat the fact that these gifts are given to all true poets. So with tola power of suiting sounj to sense; but his onomatopoeic powers were extraordinary, as a technical analysis of his poema will show. Then, there was his ability to draw out the sense over the exigencies and difficulties of several stanzas, run nlna smoothly over varying lines. rhymes and - feet, as naturally as though he were writing simple prose. I recall three poems a examples "Oh. Ask Me Not.- M. w. Ransom, and "October," Lon and flexible sentences are unmistakable marks of genius; mere talent cannot . write them. Scholars recognise tnm tests when separating greater from a lesser poet's work, as in "Poems by Two i Brother." K Perhaps grektest sentence or tni kind is Tennyson's" beginning "Sweet after shower" -. McNeill thought that one 'of the beat sentences in English literature, prose or verse;' and who hall say noT .

Now tl::s nir'ft'.c H likely to fade away completely In long poems; their facta and Ideas lead to metrical prose; so this magic's persistent flitting through Ills intend ed doggerel- became, with his facility, my strongest argument for persuad ing him to attempt the grandiose forma, As a true poet, his earnest was better than his Jest, -though his latter was not poor.. Therefore, I urged. Ion poems undertaken by im in earnest would not have degenerat ed Into gray prose, Another pervading quality was, 01 course, the constant play 01 numor. This was a direct reflection of- the man himself. Sometimes ; I ' think this humor was the magic; but per haps not, It "constantly curbed hla artistic fligJta to, their; proper, wing- curves, saving him from extravagance even la swiftest flight. .Moreover, this sense - of humor this sense of pro portion . saved . him 'from ' any bad hours when adverse criticism of his verse reached him.,; He never had great opinion of his posme; if a poem returned from ne big magazines, he made no outcry, nof -did he clasp the poem to nts breast as the greatest thing- since Shakespeare. V But I. hap pen to know that few, if any, of his poema were returned. This was be cause his sense of humor saved him from "poets conceit."- by which many poets hoodwink themselves into be lieving- for the time belnr their last poem their very best. These last and best poems flood the magasine editors malLMHe gave hla poema time to cool, then.

No; Mr. Gilder and Mr. Johnson of The Century; Mr. Perry of The Atlantic: Mr, Allen of Har per's; Mr. Munro of Scrlbner's: these men are either poets themselves or trained men of letters; their stamp avuvai on jonn unaries McNeill's work Is no shame to it; the Idea is absurd. Their dyrlc gift' Is a bjrd of passage; though Inconstant, yef still coming to mem on some mil or victory, or in some valley of defeat and Borrow, or even on the level plain of common events; never the Haven, m, tbove the door, paralyzing1 action by some magic moan such m Charles McNeill could net choose but near. He heard and was silent, not wearing his heart upon hla sleeve, for all his lyrical nature. Kow Jest and play, and a seeming happiness, may cover pain and sorrow, Is a truism of human experience; yet I dare say many at his acquaintances never thought he had suffered deeply, sadly, in mina ana ootry, until death came. And still I feel that that Raven's 'Nevermore"'' might have proven un true. Only death came; yet death was much too much. Otherwise there was no real "Nevermore." Life po- ems-roarriage, leadership in litera ture, leadership In liberal conserva tive thinking In politics and religion all these, or .most of them, were with in his reach, had he lived twenty or even ten years more. But, as I have said, most of these things he craved not at all., His real ambition? Not to write poetry, not to have fame and power; but to live the normal life of a true man of his time, among his kith and kin, and in those haunts he loved home, and the homely nature of field and stream and -wood. But this was denied him. Sometimes, the lyric gift dies and the man lives on. Would we have had It so with him? Yes. always, yes. But John Charles McNeill is dead, and his gift lives on In forms of deathless beauty. Yet can we ever cease to wish for more of his divine creations? But how much more for him! SAM L E. ASBUiBY.
