...Manhattan the opera Schwanda der Dudelsackpjeijer (Bagpipe-player) made a Metropolitan Opera audience forget last week how bored it had become with the idea of new operas, few of which survive more than one or two seasons.

A famed Norwegian basso, Ivar Andresen, made his debut as the Norwegian Daland, capably acted the jovial sailor but disappointed with singing which, according to persons who had heard him in Europe, was below his standard.
