MASCAGNf NEWEST WORK THE NEXT Br W. J. HENDERSON. HIE next novelty to be produced THE at la at tbe Metropolitan Is called and Its music Is the work of Metro Mascagnl. This composer Is suddenly to be relieved of the burden of living upon one opera, for not only Is this lyrlo version of Oulda's "To Little Wooden Shoes" to bo heard at the Metropolitan, but the Invaders from Chicago will presently bring to us tho same master'a jsabeau," which has nlready-bcen pronounced a hopeless failure by several distinguished experts at tho Met-ropoiltnn.

Udolettft" will have to be pretty bid If falls, because Mr. Caruso and jlita Farrar will both sin; In It. Tho story Is operatic. Lotloktta la a waif brought up by Anfotilo (Mr. Dldui).

She takes care of a shrine which attracts the attention of Flatnmt-n, a Parisian painter. Ha wlsheu to buy the madonna In It, and ilnully offer Antonio enough money to buy far Lodotctta a pair of red wooden shoe, which she badly needs. yiammcn Is to take awjjr the madonna at night. He arrives to And loAolctta alone and weeping for Antonio, who has had a fatal fall. Flam-ncn tarries In the village to paint JMoletta, and scandal attacks the two.

Tho artist goes home and Is later seen with his friends enjoying a Now Year otlebration. His friends rally htm about his little Dutch model, who at that moment is approaching his house through the snow. When she llndM thu festivities nre In full swing and that sho Is forgotten sho falls lifeless. Flammen afterward finds' the much worn wooden shoes. This Is Mascagni's latest work and It was produced at tho Costanzl Theatre, Home, last March.

The work. Is not newo Mr. Caruso, who sang Flammen last summer In Buenos Ayres, Montevideo, Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo. Operagoers will earnestly wish to discover in this novelty something to freshen up the stale and wearisome repertory at the Metropolitan Opera House. Mr.

Gattl-Casazza's efforts to Infuse vigor Into the list are commendable, although they have not always so treat a reward as friends of the Metropolitan should wlslt. The revelation of tho divine "St. Elizabeth" on Thursday evening was the most depressing thing that has taken place in the house since the end of tho administration of Helnrlch Conried. It would satisfy a not wholly Idle curiosity If the authorities would disclose to whoso Inspiration the choice of this melancholy series of mediaeval pictures was due. It Is a fact that the thing had a success In Prague, but Uierc are discernible differences between the Bohemian capital and the Oay White Way.

To the sceptical New Yorker it seems that Liszt's music would better be let alone. "St. Elizabeth" Is unquestionably more effective as an oratorio than In this apology for dramatic apparel. An opera without action Is perfectly possible, provided there ore big human emotions to be voiced In the music. Indeed, when such emotions are to be projected Into an auditorium it is time for action to cease and the mighty lyric spell of song to exercise its sway.

But In "St. Elizabeth" the move- ment on the stage have little or 'no action In the dramatic sense of the word. The marching of soldiers Is not dramatic, whatever may be our ideas about war. The start of Ludwia for the crusado is merely a motion picture. His wife's bottled up agony should have been poured out In passionate strains of anguish- But the holy fit.

must never be passionate. She must always be a marble saint. And the whole lyric play Is reduced to the level of her sad anaemia. It wns said in this paper on the morning after the performance that "St. Elizabeth" was dull.

That Indeed Is its unpardonable sin. One sympathizes with Massenet's Athanael, for he at least woke up. Elizabeth walked in her sleep through four acts and almost Insensibly passed 'Into the last of all slumbers. May her ashos. never be disturbed.

A singular freak of fortune caused the publication of Henry T. Flnck's book "Richard Strauss, the Man and His Works" (Little, Brown Co.) at a time when most Americans are not eager to study the Teutonic soul. This la a pity, for much may be -learned from a careful examination of any emanation of the German mind. Hence the temptation to make a pretext of Mr. Flnck's book for a long; Macau-layan essay on Strauss and the eternal German soul (which does not lead the world upward and on) must be reflated.

Justice to the author of the volume before me a summary of his offerings. He has certainly written a readable and Interesting biography. That part of his book which deals with the story of the composer's life Is gen uinely entertaining, and that Is far more than can be said of most blogra phies of musicians. There Is something ahfut the tonal art and Its apostles tlrat Impels to deadly dulness In writ trs. But let there also be no Macau- layan essay "on a certain prlgglshness In musical historians." This piece Is about Mr.

Flnck and his book. There Is much In the volume about the symphonic poem. Naturally the uthor demurs at the glorification of sir. Strauss as the Inventor of the tone poem. Perfectly right Liszt was the father of all those who call their music "poems." All persons who read the Ki'cning Post have known for many years that Its music critlo was a pas "Innate adorer of Franz Liszt, but even those, who rate the Hungarian piano virtuoso quite low as a composer know that he set the fashion for the modern programme composers.

Not only did Liszt bequeath to all of them the principle of a. continuous piece, not broken Into symphonio sec tions, but he also gave them a clear and firmly made form, based upon fun damenta law. In some of his most ambitious works such an "Heldenle hen" Btrauss has been as inexorably logical In form aa Hnims In some of his symphonies. Mr. Flnck does not like Brahms.

"If Btrauss has gone beyond LI sit in his mastery of form I have not been Me to nnd the evidences thereof in Ms works or the pleading! of his apos tles," writes Mr. Flnck. "We saw In the biographic pages how, after mastering all the classical forms, including Ilrahm's treatment of them, and after himself writing some orthodox funphonles, Strauss turned 'his back on this phase of music and thenceforth followed the Llsctlnn maxim that the poetic contents of a. composition should shape, Its, None of his works differ from Lint's more widely than Llsxt'a differ from one another; and he most certainly has not added a 'new chapter to the history of musical It Is piquant Indeed to find a biographer who refuses to worship his subject. Vet one should have known that if In any way Strauss had fallen foul of Liszt It would go hard with him at tho hands of Mr.

Klnck. Much of tho volume deals with programme music, Its makers and Its growth, and It Is all Interesting reading. It matters not the least bit whether one agrees with the author's critical osttmates of Liszt, Wagner and others or even Strausg himself. In fact In the opinion of the present writer the best Ingredients In a recipe for preparing hot interest In any writing Is a little of something Irritating, not unpleasantly, but gratefully, after the seductive way of paprika. Doubtless Mr.

Flnck will Incense some of his readers, but these will finish the book. It has the right touch for that. Mr. Flnck has dono nothing better than his Strauss. lUchord Aldrlch, for fifteen years music critic of the New York Times, has resigned his position to accept a commission In the army.

Mr. Aldrlch will be 'greatly missed by these to whom the art of music and that of writing aristocratic English arc dear. Ills patriotism Is admirable. II La whole life has been devoted to the cultivation of music and to the task of spreading knowledge about It. He has given all this up In order to work for his country.

His going removes from the profession of musical critli clsm one of the older generation of writers who have cherished a profound respect for the dignity of music and nave not chosen to regard their business as a specialized form of propa ganda for opera singers and virtuosi. There are some indications that the newspaper which Mr. Aldrlch served with ao much distinction will materially alter Its policy with regard to musical comment. Despite official denials the report that Geraldine Farrar will not be a member of the Metropolitan Opera Houso Company after the present season refuses to be silenced, but rather grows In strength. There Is also a rumor that the star of Frieda Hempcl Is on the wane, while that of Maria Conde Is rising above the enst-ern horizon.

HASLET WINS OPERA PRIZE. At a meeting held recently at the home of Mrs. I.ouiso Homer the winner of the $1,000 Hlnshaw Opera' Prize Contest was derided by tho Judges, who, besides Mrs. Homer, included Victor Heibert, David Blspham, Richard Hagcman and Walter Henr Rothweli. All the judges were present except Mr.
