THREE OPERAS BY PUCCINI.
Famous Composer Announces That He Is
Working on Music for Three One-act Operas
to Be Produced Simultaneously.
Word comes from Rome that aftej- three years
of continuous search for a libretto which would
awaken his musical inspiration, composer Puccini
states that out of a whole library of plays sent to
him by obscure authors, he has at last selected
three librettos, each consisting of a one-act play,
and will soon begin to set them to music.
Puccini adds that his quest for a three-act play
failed completely.
"The thre operas," Puccini said to the New
York American, "will be given in the same evening
and the public will judge them all at the same
time. As for me, after a long vacation, during
which I have abstained from work of all kinds, I
am glad to go back to work. My vein of music
needs only to be tapped to let out a deluge of
notes."
The librettos are by three separate authors, two
of whom already are famous, d'Annunzio and
Tristan Bernard, the famous French playwright.
The third is by Didier Gold, a young writer whose
powerful drama of the Parisian underworld caught
the composer's fancy as soon as he read the first
few scenes.

Morgan Kingston to Make His Operatic Debut

Milton Aborn, who is on his way to New York
on the "Mauretania," states that he has arranged
with Sir Thomas Beecham to take over the Rus-
sian opera ballet, now at Covent Garden, to the
Century Theater on May 1, following the season
of opera in English. He has also obtained Mr.
Dippel's release of the services of Morgan Kings-
ton, the tenor and former Welsh miner, who has
appeared with great success in London concerts.
He will make his operatic debut at the Century.

MUST SAILJTO RAGTIME.
Lamport & Holt Line Gives Up "Auld Lang
Syne" as Departing Tune.
When the big Lamport & Holt liner "Van
Dyck" sailed for Rio Janeiro and Buenos Aires
recently it was the first time a passenger-carrying
ship of this line had left this port without the
ship's bugler playing "Auld Lang Syne."
The result of all this "Auld Lang Syne" has
been that the departure of the Lamport & Holt
ships had not always been marked with that joyous,
enthusiasm that is a feature of most transatlantic
sailings. It was to make the departures of the
ships a somewhat happier event that the order was
issued to substitute ragtime for the beautiful
Scotch music.
The "Van Dyck" is the newest and biggest ves-
sel in the Lamport & Holt fleet, and so *he honor
of instituting the new musical program was ac-
corded the musicians of that ship. The bugler was
missing when the "Van Dyck" backed out of her
pier recently. Instead there was an orchestra, and
just as the ship began to move the orchestra struck
up a lively march and followed it with a well-
know ragtime selection. Passengers cheered and
the crowd ashore yelled in delight.
The "Van Dyck" had 150 saloon, 250 second
cabin and 400» steerage passengers. Among the
saloon passengers are eighteen missionaries. The
liner makes her fi.OOO-mile voyage in about twenty-
four days.
