...Opera. Soprano Muzio and Tenor Schipa took Verdi's libation of tunes and tears, poured it out, an acceptable sacrifice to Emotion. Muzio, as Violetta, erred, atoned and died. Schipa, as Alfred, loved loudly and blindly while Richard Bonelli, benign as the father, rubbed his hands and looked on at the mischief of his own making. The 3,500 in the Auditorium took delight in Muzio's costumes, in the elaborate sets, in the new ballet with incidental dances by Vechslav Swoboda, in boxholder's emeralds, gowns.

...none too clear-witted Irishman--the trusted friend of Vivian Hunt (Miss Anglin) through all her trouble--he had many chances to overact which he scrupulously avoided. Indeed the entire cast was notable for its restraint. Mary Courtney (Marion Barney) played with conspicuous naturalness, while Harry Barfoot as "Papa Bonelli" gave some excellen character touches. All that can be done to "put the play across" the company does, and we can only place ourselves with the host of Miss Anglin's friends who regret that she should be wasting her splendid powers and company on this particular speciment...
