By Grenville Vernon America has a national opera; It Is not "Mona," it is not "The Canterbury Pilgrims." 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 public has 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-grandmother of 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 facing facts. 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 body who 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 counting the silver dollars he has given her and knocking them with a hammer to see if any are counterfeit. Quite impos¬ sible, of course, for an Anglo-Saxon feminine audience. We want our ribs tickled 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 melancholy and 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 it should contain even a grain of the good red earth. "Madame Chrysanthème" gave title to "Madame Butterfly," the story by John Luther Long, the grandmother of the opera, and the Anglo-Saxon.let us say, rather, the mid-Victorian.meta¬ morphosis was complete. In the story we have all the requirements for Amer¬ ican popularity.passion disguised by the wedding ring, the deserted wife, the wife's fidelity unto death. Whether these are any more common in Amer- ica than in France we leave to others to decide; at all events, we insist upon them in our novels and our plays. And then, of course, there is.The Child! Mr. Long's story had offspring in the piay of David Belasco, America's supreme theatrical alchemist. Need¬ les! to say, Mr. Belasco played up the "heart interest" for all it was worth, ««i «cured a success in all portions oí the English-speaking world. The play of " Madame Butterfly" is the mother of the opera. It is of interest to note that the opera has always been a greater success in Anglo-Saxon than in Latin lands. In Italy its première was indeed a failure, whether because the music uses Japanese themes, and was therefore not wholly Italian, or because of the naïveté of the story, opinions may differ. Puccini rewrote some of the music, and since then the opera has gained popularity in its na¬ tive land, but it has never held the position of "Bohème" or "Tosca." In America, however, we worship it, and to-day it is given perhaps twice as much as any other opera. In New York alone the week before last it was pre¬ sented by three different companies. at the Metropolitan Opera House, at the Lexington Theatre, and at the Park Theatre. The first Butterfly in America was Elza Szamozy, an Hungarian soprano, who sang in English at the Garden Theatre with Henry W. Savage's com¬ pany. Miss Szamozy's impersonation was an admirable one and was the talk of the town until three months later, on February 11, 1907, Miss Géraldine Farrar presented it at the Metropoli¬ tan Opera House. From that night Miss Farrar has been the Butterfly of Butterflies. Announce Miss Farrar in "Madama Butterfly," and the suburban trains are doubled, the Bubway over¬ flows, and if it is a matinee, between the hours of 6 and 5:30 Huyler's turns itself 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 of all was Miss Emmy Destinn. Miss Des- tinn sang the music gorgeously and in Eastern lands her popularity would un¬ doubtedly exceed Miss Farrar's, East¬ ern poets have a way of referring to their heroines as "Oh, moon of my delight." Of later days Butterflies have flown in upon us in swarms. We have had blue Butterflies and green But¬ terflies and purple Butterflies. Miss Marcella Craft was first heard with th< San Carlo company. Her impersona tion was poignant, though her voice a' times seemed worn. Miss Maggi« Teyte sang it this season at the Park She looked the part and sang it beau tifully, though she was a little han and sophisticated. Perhaps M. Lot would have recognized in her hit Madame Chrysantheme. Then Mis Claudia Muzio attempted it. She wa: a Butterfly gigantica, a sort of Jap anese Tosca. Of course we mustn' forget the Butterfly who, press agent both of Mr. Rabinoff and of Mr. Cam panini have assured us, is the "rea thing"-.Mme. Tamaki Miura. Mme Miura is a real Japanese, but that sh is the "real thing" may be doubted Cio-Cio-San, after all, is an Amenj can who sings Italian music with Jap anese trimmings. The "real thing" i: Cio-Cio-San probably remains Mis Farrar. Perhaps, too, there isn't an "real thing," or if there were w wouldn't like her.

Brahms Arthur Rubinstein Music Notes Rachmaninoff will play an al! Rus¬ sian programme on Sunday afternoon, February 23, at Carnegie Hall, which will include compositions by Scriabine, Medtner, variations on a theme by Cho¬ pin and a group of his own pieces for pianoforte, all of which will be heard for 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 this country. Besides his well known prel¬ udes and concertos, few concertgoers know that Rachmaninoff has also written operas, chamber music, can¬ tatas and many songs. Among his suc¬ cessful operas are "Aleko," "The Miser Knight" and "Francesca da Rimini." His cantatas and songs include "The Spring," for barytone, chorus and or¬ chestra; twer.ty-four songs for male and female voices, "Humorous Chorus," for mixed voices; "Fate" (to Beetho¬ ven's Symphony No. 5), voice and or¬ chestra; "Letter to Stanislavsky," to commemorate the latter's services as founder and manager of the Moscow Art Theatre, and twelve anthems on early church themes. "The Bells," an¬ other of his compositions, based on the poem of Edgar Allan Foe, for solo voices, chorus and orchestra, was per¬ formed at Moscow in March, 1914, when Rachmaninoff conducted. "St. Erik," a society for advancement of Swedish music, announces that the third concert under its auspices will be 'held at Aeolian Hall on Saturday evening, March H. The object of the concerts of this society is to introduce Swedish com- posers to the American public. On this occasion Count Axel Raoul Wachtmcis- tor's compositions are to be introduced exclusively. Axel Raoul Wachtmeister, of Sweden, was born in London, where his father was the Swedish Minister to the Court of St. James's. He received his educa¬ tion in Sweden and studied law at the University of Lund. He took up the study of music later and spent three years at the Schola Cantorum in Paris, where he studied with Vincent d'Indy. Wachtmeister has been in America 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.i music ia modern, but not. ultra-modern. The father of Fernando Carpi, tenor, who will give his first song recital in New 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 de Marguerite" will be given for the first time in New York at the concert of the Symphony Society, as one of the most' se^rious of the French school of com- posers since the death of Debussy. Following the Symphony Society's concert 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 from to-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 at the Hippodrome next Sunday evening his programme will contain several nov¬ elties. One will be the setting of an unpublished poem by John Hay, at one time secretary to Lincoln and later Secretary of State, The first performance here of his fourth sonata in C minor will be a feature of Serge Prokofieff's recital to¬ morrow afternoon. He will also play his own "Visions Fugitives," ten piano pieces taken from a suite of twenty published under his name and inspired by these lines of Dalmont, a Russian poet: "In every fugitive moment I see entire worlds sparkling with beauty and myriad rainbow colored lights." Mr. Prokofieff will play Tschaikowsky's G Major Sonata in memory of the twenty- fifth anniversary of his death. At the conclusion of the concert by the Russian Symphony Society on Wednesday afternoon the orchestra will leave for a tour through New England, the South and Canada, re- turning by way of New York State in time for the last pair of subscription concerts, on March 25 and 26. Eleanor Spencer, who will give a piano recital at Aeolian Hall next week, is a pupil of Leschetizky and Harold Bauer. Before the war she played with leading orchestras in Europe. This will be her first recital since her return to America. Maximilian Rose, whose first violin recital here will take place next month, was born nineteen and a half years ago in the province of Bessarabia. When he was three years old his family came to America. They lived in hum¬ ble circumstances on the East Side of New York, and soon after his tenth birthday Max began the study of the violin. 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 studied with Alois Trnka. Clarence Adler, pianist, and Cor- nclius Van Vliet, 'cellist, will play at the Music School Settlement, (56 East Third 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 Clemente do Macchi. Because of previous bookings at the Selwyn Theatre for February 16 and 23, tho Clef Club Orchestra, of sixty singing Bonbon Buddies, has postponed its Sunday night concerts this week and next. They will resume their en¬ tertainment on Sunday, March 2, and will play every succeeding Sunday even- j ¡rig until May. A Plea For The Russian Anthem From An Enthusiast To the Editor of The Tribune. Sir: Your article in The Sunday Tribune on our so-called national an¬ them was good reading. I have written Senators, Congressmen, magazines and papers 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 organ occasionally for meetings. For "The Star-Spangled Banner" the audiences lise perfunctorily, as though it were painful, but never sing, while if "Amer¬ ica" is played they sing spontaneously and heartily. It is perfectly true that a national hymn should be tho re¬ sult of a choice by the people, and yet with "Dixie" and "Marching Through Georgia" the most popular tunes in America to-day, I doubt the success of such a method of evolution. Of course, we have had competitions galore, but the result has always been one prize poem to which composers were invited to set music, regardless of its lyric value. 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 let these also be published and distributed broadcast for comment. I think some¬ thing might come of it. At any rate, I could wish that some one with your in- fluence might stir up the question. I am no Russian, but when I play the glorious old Russian hymn, now in the discard, Í am thrilled through and through, and I want something like it for our own America. W. H. P.

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.
