It has Umberto Giordano as its composer and is based upon a play of the same name by Victorien Sardou, which is sufficient evidence that it is exactly the sort of opera best liked by American patrons of this art, for it combines in admirable proportion the elements of music and drama. Another offering of the coming week which will no doubt, arouse great interest, is the season's first presentation of "The Tales of Hoffman," which in many respects may be c:atlecl the most unusual of all operas, because of its unAt the regular concert on Monday usual form.

Here Gio,·anni ~Iarti nclli will appear in a role which he ha s not sung for several years. Alice Gentle will be heard as Catherine, the woman \vho outwitted Xapoleon. and Giuseppe Danise will have one of the greatest character roles of his career as ~ apoleon Bonaparte. The story of "~Ime. Sans Gene" is intriguing, its plot dealing with those stirring times in V\'hich Kapoleon Bonaparte rose from a humble military position to that of the greatest military genius the world had known. There is a stirring story of wifely devotion interwoven through this plot, and it becomes in opera just as outstanding as it was in drama. Mr. Martinelli will be cast as Sergt. LeFebvre, who advanced with Napoleon and became Marshal of France. The part is one that demands great singing and great acting, attributes with which Mr. Martinelli is abundantly blessed. The role of Catherine Huehscher, the laundress, .who becomes the wife of Napoleon's adviser, is also replete in dramatic and vocal possibilities as well as in humorous situations, and Miss Gentle will, no doubt, find it much to her liking. As Napoleon, Giuseppe Danisc will have a baritone role which has been tailored to his measure. Not only is Mr. Danise equipped vocally to most every demand of this outstanding role, but it has been found that he becomes a living portrait of the great Corsican. Others in the cast are Miss Bourskaya, Miss Maxwell, Miis Paggi, Miss Falco, Mr. Mojica, Mr. Defrere,
