April 7, 1928 WINNETKA TALK 45 NEW CADMAN OPERA TO BE HEARD NEXT WEEK American Opera Company to Give Chicago Premiere of "The Sunset Trail" Monday For its third week in Chicago at the Studebaker theatre the American Opera company will present four operas, one of them a new work by the American composer, Charles Wake- field Cadman, *The Sunset Trail," which will have its Chicago premiere on this occasion. "The Sunset Trail" will be paired with "Pagliacci" next Monday, Tues- day and Wednesday evenings. "Mar- tha" will be given Thursday and Fri- day evenings and "Faust" will again appear on Saturday and Sunday nights and on the Saturday matinee. "Pagliacci" Innovation According to its custom, "Pagliacci" is given with many innovations as to dramatic action and settings. The second act is given inside the tent and the ensemble is busy as always in these productions, portraying the real actions of real peasants attending a traveling show. The Cadman novelty was orginally conceived as a cantata and appeared in that form in Rochester, N. Y., and in Los Angeles. Revised as an opera it follows the habit of mind of the creator of "Shanewis" which the Met- ropolitan Opera produced, and all its characters are American Indians. The story deals with a rebellion against confinement on a reservation and it abounds in melodies, for which this composer is famous. "Martha" on Thursday The ever-popular "Martha" is given a particularly vivid staging by Di- rector Vladimir Rosing and the young Americans have been trained to pro- ject their comedy with fully as much force as they have revealed in their delivery of their tragic "Faust" pro- duction. As to English texts for which this company is famous, "Pagliacci" is a version prepared from the texts -of H. G. Chapman and F. E. Weatherly. The Cadman libretto is by Gilbert Moyle. The "Martha" text is a re- vision based on the translation of Nathalie Macfarren and the "Faust" text is by Robert A. Simon. The productions have been staged under the direction of Vladimar Ros- ing and Michio Ito. Frank St. Leger and Isaac Van Grove will conduct.
