Leon Rothier, the well-known French basso
of the Metropolitan Opera Co., gave the first
concert presentation of the new patriotic song,
"Our Flag in France," at a concert given on
Monday evening at the Manhattan Opera House
for the benefit of "La Mutualite Maternelle" of
Paris, and the Order of the Golden Cross, the
latter organized for the relief of disabled avi-
ators, at which Mme. Schumann-Heink also
sang. The words and music of "Our Flag in
France" are by Emilie Frances Bauer, who will
devote the royalties to the American Ambulance
Hospital in Paris. Mr. Rothier was in splendid
voice, and he sang Miss Bauer's new patriotic
song in a manner so inspiring as to arouse the
enormous audience to the greatest enthusiasm.
