It Is n good theme for onera music. and Mr. Uadley has dono generally well with it. He has committed the dialogue to a fluent arioso and evaded tho nrla formula of recitative.

Tho acclamation of Cleopatra In tho second act Is excellent opera writing, H la. not unconventional, but what other living composer, except perhaps Puccini o- - Strauss, would have handled tho situ ation better? Tho feeling of tho solo utterances and nil tho lyric proclamations of emotion, for this musician seizes every opportun- ity to wrlto song, are always correct. The music has tho necessary quality of seiisitousncss. It Is suited to tho dis- closure of purely physlcnl excitements.
