THE NEW YORK TIMES. SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 23. 1911. BEECHAH TO GIVE OPERA III MY YORK English Impresario flera to Pfan festivals of Richard Strauss's and Mozart's Works.

INCLUDES "ROS EN KAVALI R' Smaller Auditorium Art Needed, He Say th New Pr Are Intime Himmerteine London Chances, Thomas Beecham, the English. Impre sario wh0 first produced in Lonflon Ba- om 4 Elktr." to ay nothln of twenty other operas, Is In New York ts look over tbe ground, and be states it la his definite purpose to produce opera sere, one way or another, either this season or next. Mr. Beecham, who Is here for the first tjna In eighteen years, arrived last in the Lusitanla, with his father, Joseph Beecham, the millionaire pill man cJKturer. His arrival was unheralded atid unmentloned.

It was his desire. In fid to come and go unnoticed. If possible, as he had no desire to talk of his pins until they were fully matured. When he was round yesterday by a Tim reporter he consented, however, to talk. I really cannot say anything definite ft.

with the exception of the fact that I tv absolutely made up by mind to do something over here," he said. You 1 do not know New York, when I case here eighteen years ago to go to the hirfiKo World Fair I was little boy. and I had no idea, of course, that I might return as an Impresario. At present I am looking over the ground, talking with people no xar as i am aoie at tms sea-ton of tbe year and deliberating about: hat can be done, I am very anxious to give two operst-! festivals here, one of tha Richard Dtraus operas, Ler Keuersnoth, and i and the other of the Mozart operas, such Don Giovanni," The Marriage of i'lparo," and Cosi I realize that an operatic season in New York mutt conflict with that of the Metropolitan Opera Houe. "It Is the only time of year when people may be found in Therefore It necessary to proceed with caution; If possible I should like to give my season In connection with the Metropolitan's In the middle of It, bo to speak.

Jl have letters to several prominent men eenneoted with that institution, and I Shall make an attempt to carry through plan or mat sort. Opens Hesaei Toe Large. "If that cannot be done I shall try to arrange another plan. As a matter of fact one of my theories la that all opera bouses are too large. The day of the large opera house Is past.

Operas are not being written for them now with the exception of the Strauss works, which are usually snort, a smaller auditorium ts neeaea. The new operas are intime, and not grandiose like the Wagner or Meyerbeer works of the last century. I disagree with most neonla about TsTotart productions also. I gave, as you know, a Mosart festival in Isondon last nummer, witn a great deal of success. Now while a work of art of a previous century may be better than any work of this, still it remains antique, it is a different thing.

I do not wholy sympathize, therefore, with the attempts made at Munich and elsewhere to reproduce, as much as possible, the manner in which Mozart was performed In Mozart's time. lYiS he was performed In Shakespeare's time either, and I bv no means believe in Riving him as he Is performed to-day, with to many accessories that half the lines have to be cut. But if one insists on Mozart being revived exactly as he was roaucea originally, wny not let the darnels play out of tune as they almost invariably did in Mozart's timet it cannot be done. Revolving stapes to aastnt one in rapidly changing me scenes are effective, pernaps, Dut not necessary. I think it is much more essential to bring out the spirit of comedy in the worics.

That is what strive to do irst. Interested Only In Sw Works. "I am not an ordinary opera Impresario. I am not producing operas to make money. In fact, I always lose It.

The ordinary common or garden repertoire has no interest whatever for me. I am much less concerned with that than with artier aspects of life. What I am concerned with is new works, works with peat merit which the publio will not Ilka, lor It ts a fact that when a new work or any great merit is produced the public sever likes It. This has always been so and always will be so. "The success of Elektra in London may be mentned as an exception, but yon must remember that London is the only city in the world where Elektra has yet been a success.

I gave it sixteen times In one short season. There were reasons for that also. You must remember that the Knellsh have a better training in the classics than any other nation a a whole. They were scandalized to tear that a man named von Hofmann-ahl had desecrated a Greek play, and they wanted to see how he had done It. "The English are also more fond of awrtlnar life than any other nation, and hen they heard that to play the horns ra Elektra took men r-f steely endurance, to sing the title role took gigantic itrjnrth.

those things Interested them. nd they came to find out what Elektra really was like. You see, you never can eeprnd upon musical people alone to fill an opera house. Your audience must be made up of many classes. "Now, I admire Strauss.

I think his Rnsankavaller is one of the greatest of modern works. I am making plans now to r-roduee it in London, and I shell plan to rye a Strauss season at the Theatre du piatelet In I'arls in the Spring, not 'Salome, however: that has been done at the Onra Rut r-ie 1 I and Feuersnoth will be new r-ans. I should like to do the same for Kew Tork. and I shall try to. but it la a different matter.

In Paris I caivsecure the neePMary artists from Germany in a few 'Ierp It is a matter of weeks. hen for Instance. I learn that a certain "nor is sick on Mondav and cannot sing Trtatan on Wednesday In London it ts a Iry, matter to get an artist to JJiKiahd from Germanv in time for the 1 Performance.

Still, competition is what always gives the breath of life to the opera situation.

It ts a curious fact that when a manager begins to arrange his season he first engages the singers the publio wants to hear and then makes out his repertoire according to the singers. I would like to see a repertoire made out according to operas." J4r. Beecham la a medium-sized man with dark hair, a mustache, and a Van Dyke beard.

22. "Christopher Columbus Is to be ths title and theme of a new grand opera now being composed by Oskar H. Fried, ths celebrated Berlin orchestral conductor and Intimate friend of Richard Strauss. Fried was Strauss's candidate for ths directorship of the New York Philharmonic Society following the death of Oustav Mahler. Ths opera wlU not be produced before 1913.

but' It Is complete In outline. It will be staged under the direction of the master hand of Max Reinharflt, kins; of the German producers, and New York mar be ths scene of ths first performance. Fried described ths scenario of ths opera, to Ths Truss cor respondent to-day. The entire action," he said, takes place in mldocean aboard Columbus's flagship Santa Maria. It opens with the mutiny of the crew, which Is an grlly demanding the return of the ex pedltlon to Europe.

Columbus is heard remonstrating with bis sailors, begging them to stand by him. The second act Is allegorical in) character, being, in tended to reveal tbe dream which Co lumbus has had of the Utopian Amer lea. he hopes to find. This act, which is In pantomime, also Introduces a vis Ion of the discoverer's benefactress. Queen Isabella, who urges him to remain steadfast in bis resolve to reach the unknown Western World.

The final act shows the last phase of the mutiny among the drunken crew, which Is threatening to murder Columbus unless he immediately turns about. Columbus offers heroic resistance, but the crew succeeds In bringing the Santa Maria about with her prow turned east Just as the lookout cries and the mutineers become the discoverer's devoted and enthusiastic supporters once again." The opera consists- of only one act, divided Into three scenes. The composer thinks that the story of Columbus's trials and tribulations In mid- ocean lends Itself to an Ideally, highly dramatic operatic treatment. The entire stage is to consist of the ocean," and will require an extraordinarily large space. MISS LANDIS ENGAGED.

BUT IT IS VERY POOR STUFF An Occasional Pleasing Feature, but Not Enough- Humor or Novelty to Make It First-Class Entertainment. A new feature was added to the entertainment at the Folies Bergere last night by the production of a second part known as "A la Broadway," and described as a satirical burlesque on all musical comedies. As far as it went the satirical Idea was a good one, but It go very far.

It was amusing at the beginning to see the familiar household love story begun quite seriously, and the turned to musical comedy uses by the Irate father's secretary, who Insisted that such was the only way to make It come out happily. And there was momentary fun In the introduction -of the chorus describing In a song their own occupation, which has nothing to do with the case. But the authors appeared to have had little ingenuity to develop their idea, and there was too little novelty to the songs and dances and specialties to make "A la Broad-eirarwlasa entertainment 1 In The Philadelphia Drag Mr. Way- bum hit upon a funny satirical dance Idea, the number reversing the glnser and ro of the familiar Rag, with its tip and rush, and ending with the chorus, Srettlly garbed in Quaker costumes, rowsily sinking down on the stage, to be awakened presently by the crowing of a rooster.
