GALLI CURCf HAS GOTHAM AT HER FEET

Gets 20-Minute Ovation When She "Trills Like Bird" in Debut There. Madame Galll-Curcl. the celebrated Italian soprano, took New York by storm Monday night when she made her debut there with the Chicago opera company as Dinorah in the opera of the same name. She won a far greater ovation from the musically-blase Manhatten audience than she did from the audience of last spring.' when she sang in the Coliseum here In recital. Richard P. Aldricb. the distinguished music critic of the New York Times always conservative in his estimates of new artists, pays the most glowing tributes to Galll-Carci. He sees in her a new Patti, a greater than Melba or Sembrleb. . The head lines in The Tlmea and the body of the criticism follow: "Mme. Galll-Curcl trills like a bird;" Chicago opera soprano lifts vast throng to its feet at her debut her in 'Dinorah'; ovation of twenty minutes; breaks the ice with Breton's Maiden's little lullaby and brings outburst with top note." Seta 4,000 on Feet. Galli-Curcl, trilling like a bird at the Lexington last night, set 4,000 .New Yorkers on their feet in response, with an ovation this town has not seen the like of in a good many years, an ovation as fairly and honestly won as it was frankly given. It carried the oldest inhabitant back, perhaps, to another opera house, the old Academy, two miles south in a direct line, where Patti first sang in 1859, the same year last night's opera, "Dlnorab.M also made its appearance in Paris. In Manhattan Island yesterday were already two of the greatest colorature sopranos who ever lived Melba and Sembricb. It is no disloyalty to say that the newcomer has some qualities no other in the last generation has possessed. Take the trill a Juggling of full tones, "round." like marbles, as they said of the trill of Adellna as a girl. Even here there was a difference: Patti had more "diablerie," Galll-Curcl has more poetry. ' She broke the iceand it was Knickerbocker ice, too with a little lullaby at the nervous start of the evening. She came romping back and played echo to a foolish piper's flute, a little more confidently and brilliantly. She casually took the first-act curtain with a topnote literally off a roof such Is the libretto story of the madcap goat-girl and there were twelve or fifteen hearty recalls when she came down after that first - act. The big scene in the second act started the twenty-minute ovation. Had Pavlowa as the Dumb Girl of Portici forgot her toes and found a voice, it would have been Galli-Curci's. She sings the old-time music as Heifetz plays it. only she has not only dignity but humor, a woman's wit and intuition for each sentiment, a born ac1 rein's endless ways of expressing "endless by-play. A Voice That "Floats." " The voice that this shouting audience heard for the first time is one of those voices that "floats." and one that in "floating on the breath" seems ,1o exist as a thing apsrt from its physical means, giving the listener the charm of constantly varied illusion and occasional miracle. At the end of its principal demonstration last night it wasn't a woman's voice, but a bird's swelling throat, whether the canary in his cage singing a lost freedom, or the lark that sinus at heaven's :ate and leaves the world huhd, still listening for more. In the limelight of the "Shadow Song" it was bottled moonshine. An extraordinary feat it was to repeat the air before the dropped curtain, when the applause would not let the opera go on. Th'.s had none of the make-believe of a girl playing with her shadow: it showed instead how real was the skill behind Kuch singnig .and how truly, unfailingly she could do it in sober earnest twice over. The Chlcsgo Onera association's zeal in showing New York, by a series of performances now current at the "T.exlnrton theatre, built by Orar "Hammersteln, how the West fares for grand opera plnce the Metropolitan acoulred the Ksstern field exclusively reached a climax last nighty in the Campanlnl organization's presentation of an old opera, introducing for the first time on a local stasre that company's reimlng star, already widely known 4n Amirlca. Between two winters of opera In PMnmo she hd sunn roncerts in upward of slxtv other citfrs. and th mere reproductions of her voice on American tAlklne machines, nt the present rate of publ'e demand, were due to ps the million mark Some time next June. NEWPORT BLAST NOT ENEMY ACT WASHINGTON, Jan. SI. The rerent explosion at the naval torpedo station at Newport, R. I., was not the work of an enemy, naval officials are now fully convinced, after a careful Investigation. Reports to the ordnance bureau show its pounds of fulminate of mercury were destroyed by the explosion, which occurred in the dry house located In a former bomb proof. "The relatives and friends of the men killed must appreciate the fact that they have given their lives for their country in a manner deserving as much praise as if they were in the 'trenches opposite enemy forces," said Rear Admiral Earle, chief of ordnance, In a letter today extending the government's sympathy and condofeoce to the families of the mep.

STREET LIGHTS ON ALL NIGHT

Superintendent Kleinknecbt of the Municipal light plant told the board of works that he believed final relief from the acute coal situation has been obtained. Ninety cars of coal has been contracted for he said. City Engineer Davis laid plans before the board for the repair of the coal conveyor at the power plant. At present it is difficult to store coaL The only two practical methods to remedy the present situation Is either the building of a tressel to connect with that at the gas plant, a distance of 110 feet; or the building of an elevator at the center of the two bins, where the coal could be elevated and shot by force of gravity Into the bins. The building of the tressel would mean the expenditure of a large amount of money, but would aid in storing, during the summer months, a winter supply of coal, as it could be more quickly unloaded Into the bins which hold 200,000 tons. The engineering department has prepared a plat for the laying out of lots, street and alleys in the vacant land. adjoining G street, where a bridge will be built sometime during the next two or three years, and along the river where it is possible that a boulevard will sometime be built. This plat will be submitted to the board. The purpose of this plat is to keep the land grabbers, who are sure to buy the land, from laying the lots out, with narrow street and no alley, as they do in many places, thus making a place very undesireable for home building. The street lights are to be 'left on all night until further notice. Many men and women, who go to and from their, work during the night, made complaints about the darkness. Red Cross Notes A ciaes in surgical dressings met Wednesday at the Red Cross rooms. The members are Mrs. I. F. Burns, Mrs. Olive Van Nuys, Mrs. Clifford Piehl, Mrs. Mable Cunningham, Mrs. Annabel Anderson, Mrs. William Dietemever, Mrs. O. G. Murray, Miss.
