By Grenville VernonAmerica has a national opera; It Is

not "Mona," it is not "The CanterburyPilgrims." it is not even "Shanewis"-

-t i8 "Madama Butterfly." It is our

«tional opera not because it contains

gtrains of "The Star-Spangled Banner". because its tenor is an American

jjgvy officer, but because our publichas adopted it. A glimpse at the

ncestry of the Puccini opera will show

ti,, reasons for its popularity with

our public, especially with the feminine

portion of it The great-grandmotherof the "Madama Butterfly" of Puccini

»nd Illica is the autobiographical ro¬

mance of Pierre Loti, "Madame Chry¬santhème." Now M. Loti is a French¬

man, and romanticist as he is, he has

the annoying Gallic habit of facingfacts. The result is that he has paint-sd a charming little portrait in his

"Madame Chrysanthème," which, how¬

ever, would never, never appeal to the

devotees of ice cream sodas who form

the major portion of our Amer¬ican matinee audiences. M. Loti's

mousmé is a practical little bodywho frankly sells herself for a

stated period, is not at all heart¬

broken when the period is over,

has no ex¡H"-'tati°n or apparently de¬sire that her trial husband shall ever

return to her, and is last seen countingthe silver dollars he has given her andknocking them with a hammer to see

if any are counterfeit. Quite impos¬sible, of course, for an Anglo-Saxonfeminine audience. We want our ribstickled so that we may guffaw, or our

hearts stretched so that we may in¬dulge in an orgy of tears. The quiet,world-wise smiie, at once melancholyand fay, we do not understand. It an¬

noys, it irritates us, it offends our

moral sense. We must have our illu¬sion triply strained, lest unhappily itshould contain even a grain of the

good red earth."Madame Chrysanthème" gave title

to "Madame Butterfly," the story byJohn Luther Long, the grandmother ofthe opera, and the Anglo-Saxon.let us

say, rather, the mid-Victorian.meta¬morphosis was complete. In the storywe have all the requirements for Amer¬ican popularity.passion disguised bythe wedding ring, the deserted wife, thewife's fidelity unto death. Whetherthese are any more common in Amer-ica than in France we leave to othersto decide; at all events, we insist uponthem in our novels and our plays. Andthen, of course, there is.The Child!Mr. Long's story had offspring in

the piay of David Belasco, America'ssupreme theatrical alchemist. Need¬les! to say, Mr. Belasco played up the"heart interest" for all it was worth,««i «cured a success in all portionsoí the English-speaking world. Theplay of " Madame Butterfly" is themother of the opera. It is of interestto note that the opera has always been

a greater success in Anglo-Saxon thanin Latin lands. In Italy its premièrewas indeed a failure, whether becausethe music uses Japanese themes, andwas therefore not wholly Italian, orbecause of the naïveté of the story,opinions may differ. Puccini rewrotesome of the music, and since then theopera has gained popularity in its na¬tive land, but it has never held theposition of "Bohème" or "Tosca." InAmerica, however, we worship it, andto-day it is given perhaps twice asmuch as any other opera. In New Yorkalone the week before last it was pre¬sented by three different companies.at the Metropolitan Opera House, atthe Lexington Theatre, and at thePark Theatre.The first Butterfly in America was

Elza Szamozy, an Hungarian soprano,who sang in English at the GardenTheatre with Henry W. Savage's com¬

pany. Miss Szamozy's impersonationwas an admirable one and was the talkof the town until three months later,on February 11, 1907, Miss GéraldineFarrar presented it at the Metropoli¬tan Opera House. From that nightMiss Farrar has been the Butterfly ofButterflies. Announce Miss Farrar in"Madama Butterfly," and the suburbantrains are doubled, the Bubway over¬

flows, and if it is a matinee, betweenthe hours of 6 and 5:30 Huyler's turnsitself into a maelstrom. The handker¬chief industry owes to Miss Farrar a

gigantic debt.But there have been other Butter¬

flies. Vocally the most satisfactory ofall was Miss Emmy Destinn. Miss Des-tinn sang the music gorgeously and inEastern lands her popularity would un¬

doubtedly exceed Miss Farrar's, East¬ern poets have a way of referring totheir heroines as "Oh, moon of mydelight." Of later days Butterflieshave flown in upon us in swarms. Wehave had blue Butterflies and green But¬terflies and purple Butterflies. MissMarcella Craft was first heard with th<San Carlo company. Her impersonation was poignant, though her voice a'

times seemed worn. Miss Maggi«Teyte sang it this season at the ParkShe looked the part and sang it beautifully, though she was a little hanand sophisticated. Perhaps M. Lotwould have recognized in her hitMadame Chrysantheme. Then MisClaudia Muzio attempted it. She wa:a Butterfly gigantica, a sort of Japanese Tosca. Of course we mustn'forget the Butterfly who, press agentboth of Mr. Rabinoff and of Mr. Campanini have assured us, is the "reathing"-.Mme. Tamaki Miura. MmeMiura is a real Japanese, but that shis the "real thing" may be doubtedCio-Cio-San, after all, is an Amenjcan who sings Italian music with Japanese trimmings. The "real thing" i:Cio-Cio-San probably remains MisFarrar. Perhaps, too, there isn't an"real thing," or if there were wwouldn't like her.

Music NotesRachmaninoff will play an al! Rus¬

sian programme on Sunday afternoon,February 23, at Carnegie Hall, whichwill include compositions by Scriabine,Medtner, variations on a theme by Cho¬pin and a group of his own pieces forpianoforte, all of which will be heardfor the first time in New York.As pianist and as composer of music

for piano and orchestra, Mr. Rachmani¬noff is known to the musicians of thiscountry. Besides his well known prel¬udes and concertos, few concertgoersknow that Rachmaninoff has alsowritten operas, chamber music, can¬tatas and many songs. Among his suc¬cessful operas are "Aleko," "The MiserKnight" and "Francesca da Rimini."His cantatas and songs include "TheSpring," for barytone, chorus and or¬

chestra; twer.ty-four songs for maleand female voices, "Humorous Chorus,"for mixed voices; "Fate" (to Beetho¬ven's Symphony No. 5), voice and or¬

chestra; "Letter to Stanislavsky," tocommemorate the latter's services as

founder and manager of the MoscowArt Theatre, and twelve anthems on

early church themes. "The Bells," an¬other of his compositions, based on

the poem of Edgar Allan Foe, for solovoices, chorus and orchestra, was per¬formed at Moscow in March, 1914, whenRachmaninoff conducted.

"St. Erik," a society for advancementof Swedish music, announces that thethird concert under its auspices willbe 'held at Aeolian Hall on Saturdayevening, March H.The object of the concerts of this

society is to introduce Swedish com-

posers to the American public. On thisoccasion Count Axel Raoul Wachtmcis-tor's compositions are to be introducedexclusively.

Axel Raoul Wachtmeister, of Sweden,was born in London, where his fatherwas the Swedish Minister to the Courtof St. James's. He received his educa¬tion in Sweden and studied law at

the University of Lund. He took upthe study of music later and spentthree years at the Schola Cantorum in

Paris, where he studied with Vincentd'Indy. Wachtmeister has been inAmerica many times, lived in Los An-

.: geles for several years and has resided

.in New York for the last four years.Among his compositions are included <i

¡nonata for violin and piano and one

II for 'cello and piano, several works for, chorus and orchestra, songs, recita¬

tions, etc. His publishers in America¡are the John Church Company, Cincin-nati, and the Boston Music Com-

j pany. Concerts by Wachtmeister in-elude many cities like New York, Phila¬delphia, Cincinnati, Chicago, San Fran-cinco, L»» Angeles and Paris. Hi.imusic ia modern, but not. ultra-modern.

The father of Fernando Carpi, tenor,

who will give his first song recital inNew York to-morrow, was also a tenor,and made a tour of America with Ade¬lina Patti over thirty years ago.

Mr. Damrosch regards Roger-Ducasse,whose interlude from "Au Jardin deMarguerite" will be given for the firsttime in New York at the concert of theSymphony Society, as one of the most'se^rious of the French school of com-

posers since the death of Debussy.

Following the Symphony Society'sconcert next Saturday evening, the or-chestra will leave for a tour that in-eludes visits to Baltimore, Washington,Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Rochester,Buffalo, Wilkes-Barre and Scranton.

The fourth and last Campanini con¬

cert at the Hippodrome, a week fromto-night, will be given by Mme. Galli-Curci. On Sunday evening, March 9,this singer will give her first song re¬cital in this city.

When John McCormack appears atthe Hippodrome next Sunday eveninghis programme will contain several nov¬

elties. One will be the setting of an

unpublished poem by John Hay, at onetime secretary to Lincoln and laterSecretary of State,

The first performance here of hisfourth sonata in C minor will be a

feature of Serge Prokofieff's recital to¬morrow afternoon. He will also playhis own "Visions Fugitives," ten pianopieces taken from a suite of twentypublished under his name and inspiredby these lines of Dalmont, a Russianpoet: "In every fugitive moment I see

entire worlds sparkling with beauty andmyriad rainbow colored lights." Mr.Prokofieff will play Tschaikowsky's GMajor Sonata in memory of the twenty-fifth anniversary of his death.

At the conclusion of the concert bythe Russian Symphony Society on

Wednesday afternoon the orchestrawill leave for a tour through NewEngland, the South and Canada, re-

turning by way of New York State intime for the last pair of subscriptionconcerts, on March 25 and 26.

Eleanor Spencer, who will give a

piano recital at Aeolian Hall next week,is a pupil of Leschetizky and HaroldBauer. Before the war she playedwith leading orchestras in Europe.This will be her first recital sinceher return to America.

Maximilian Rose, whose first violinrecital here will take place next month,was born nineteen and a half years agoin the province of Bessarabia. Whenhe was three years old his familycame to America. They lived in hum¬ble circumstances on the East Side ofNew York, and soon after his tenthbirthday Max began the study of theviolin. After his father's death he sup¬ported his mother and younger brftth-ers by playing in cafés and restaurants.For the last four years he ha3 studiedwith Alois Trnka.

Clarence Adler, pianist, and Cor-nclius Van Vliet, 'cellist, will play atthe Music School Settlement, (56 EastThird Street, this evening at 8:15.This is the third in a series of art-ists' recitals at the school.

.

For the opening night of the new

course of Free "Operatic Nights" Dr.Fleck announces "Carmen," with a

cast' under the direction of Clementedo Macchi.

Because of previous bookings at theSelwyn Theatre for February 16 and23, tho Clef Club Orchestra, of sixtysinging Bonbon Buddies, has postponedits Sunday night concerts this weekand next. They will resume their en¬

tertainment on Sunday, March 2, andwill play every succeeding Sunday even-

j ¡rig until May.

A Plea ForThe Russian Anthem

From An EnthusiastTo the Editor of The Tribune.

Sir: Your article in The SundayTribune on our so-called national an¬

them was good reading. I have writtenSenators, Congressmen, magazines andpapers for years urging our need of a

national anthem, tut without result.There is a bill before the House now,

sponsored by Representative McFadden,of Pennsylvania, to make "The Star-Spangled Banner" our national anthem.It is a hu_e mistake. I play the organoccasionally for meetings. For "The

Star-Spangled Banner" the audienceslise perfunctorily, as though it were

painful, but never sing, while if "Amer¬ica" is played they sing spontaneouslyand heartily. It is perfectly true thata national hymn should be tho re¬sult of a choice by the people, and yetwith "Dixie" and "Marching ThroughGeorgia" the most popular tunes inAmerica to-day, I doubt the success ofsuch a method of evolution. Of course,we have had competitions galore, butthe result has always been one prizepoem to which composers were invitedto set music, regardless of its lyricvalue. The result.nothing.

I have proposed to certain Congress¬men that Congress invite poems, select-ing all of value and offering this com-

pilation for musical setting. Then letthese also be published and distributedbroadcast for comment. I think some¬

thing might come of it. At any rate, Icould wish that some one with your in-fluence might stir up the question. Iam no Russian, but when I play theglorious old Russian hymn, now in thediscard, Í am thrilled through andthrough, and I want something like itfor our own America. W. H. P.New York, Jan. 26, 1919.
