“No,” says the eminent actress 
earnestly; “I cannot approve of the 
fashion that so many members of my 
profession have of being  photo-

The reporter makes some feverish 
notes and she continues:

She continues for half a column

says:

Boston Opera House. 
Contrary to the policy to be in- 
augurated by the Metropolitan 
Opera Co., the coming season at the 
Boston Opera House is to be replete 
with productions of works of the 
modern school of French composers. 
As a matter of fact French Opera is 
to play as important a part as Ital- 
ian opera and it will have added 
lustre from the fact that the world’s 
premiere of a French opera is to 
take place on the local stage boards. 
The production of ‘‘Pelleas et 
Melisande’’ alone will mark a new 
era in this country’s grand opera 
for this opera of Debussy’s is to be 
given exactly as it was produced 
at the Paris Opera Comique, with 
scenery and costumes from the de- 
signs of the famous Berlin artist 
Leiffert, designs that follow exactly 
the directions of both Debussy and 
Maeterlinck. 
While it is probable that Mary 
Garden will sing Melisande at the 
opening performance, negotiations 
are at present being conducted with 
another singer, which, if brought to 
a successful issue, will create a veri- 
table sensation, and with Riddez and 
Baklanoff in the other principal 
parts, the production is certain to 
come very near the ideal. 
Mr. Russell wishes it distinetly to 
be understood that he is to be per- 
sonally responsible for the produc- 
tions of all the French operas at the. 
Boston Opera House. With the var- 
ious mis. en scenes of the Paris 
Opera’ Comique placed at his dis- 
posal by Director Carre, he feels 
certain that he will be able to 
achieve results that will please and 
satisfy the artistic sense of New 
England music lovers. 
Another memorable production of 
French opera will be ‘‘Samson et 
Delilah’’ by Saint-Saens, which is 
scheduled to inaugurate the third 
season at the Boston Opera House. 
Maria Gay is. cast for the role of 
Delilah and the gifted artist has al- 
ready been at work on the part for 
the past several weeks under the 
direction of M. Caplet, who is to 
conduct all the French operas. 
‘‘Habanera’’ which owing to a 
chain of unfortunate circumstances 
was given but a few times at the 
Opera House last season is to have 
another trial and the occasion will . 
be noteworthy not only because 
Mme. Gay is to sing the role of 
Pilar and M. Riddez that of Ramon 
but also because Raoul Laparra, 
the composer, will come to this 
country especially for the purpose 
of superintending the production
