Mr.

Martinelli apparently proceeded upon the Idea that practicing his daily dozen and singing more excessively than accurately would successfully serve as a substitute for intensity of emotion, sincerity of acting, and perfection of pitch. He was loud in his lamentation in "Vesta la giubba" as the clown who found that the triangle provides a sour problem in domestic geometry, but for all his flailing arms and generous gestures his acting carried no conviction, and vocally there wasn't a bit of genuine fire or inspiration. Mr. Scottl, on the other hand, again demonstrated at the outset of the evening that the role of Chim-Fen is rlnhlv and realistically his own 'iieri'H l'onefka. 21.

Navy blue chinchilla, almost a hundreil per cunt wool. Marvelous values and good looking with sleeve chevron idaptation of Chester Bailey Fer-sald's "The Cat and the Cherub," ao strongly suggestive of a "Lime-house tale. The score, too, Is good theatre, melodious- colorful and constantly Intriguing, even if It makes no pretentions to greatness or even individuality, since Leoni has helped himself to liberal portions of Puccini, especially the Cafe Momus scene from "Boheme," and also, quite strikingly, and baldly, to the high violin harmonics from a certain "Lohengrin" Vorspiel of Richard Wagner. But then, Leoncavallo knew his Wagnt too, as witness that phrase from the Lament, which is, note for note, out of the first act of 'Meisterslnger," and the haunting flicker of the Fire Music in the background of Nedda's "Bird Song." Characterization, of course, rather than singing, is the keynote of Scot-ti'J unforgettable Chim-Fen, whose method of love-making relies chiefly upon kidnapping and a hatchet murder.

Real Chinese folk may not display emotion, and certainly do not sing like the' characters in this opera. But for our Occidental eyes and ears it all makes a good, if gruesome and grisly, show, and Scottl Is always first and foremost in the picture, which last night included a very patriarchal and sonorously sung Win-Shee by Tancredi Pasero ln the role of the Oracle, formerly associated with Adamo Didur; by Nanette Gull-ford and Armand Tokatyan, as the vibrantly vocal pair providing the limited love interest, by Louis D'An-gelo as the merchant, and, by no fceans least, by little Lyova Rosenthal, as a most amazingly precocious Hoo-Chee, who acted with all the detail and self -possession of any grizzled veteran. "Pagliacci" Routine Performance In "Pagliacci," in addition to the tock company style of Mr. Martinelli as Canio, the cast Included Giuseppe Danise as a rather stodgy and Indifferently sung Tonio, Editha Pleisher as a Nedda who was more Hreeable vocally than visually and ho wielded her whip in a manner that Mr. Danise may have found too Caustic, Giordano Paltrinleri as an wectlve Beppe, and Claudio Frigerio, no made Silvio one of the brightest bits in the flagrantly routine performance.
