"Shh-ahhh —” hissed the crowd to the conversationalists all over -the house and Just then the curtains were drawn. "They demanded absolute silence.” whispered Mr. DeWight. Just as Barry had said the audience was "en rapport" with the singers from the very first note of Massenet's melodious score. The stillness marked that, one occasionally heard n sigh—the Interest so Intense that it could almost be

felt.

From the very first I sensed the fact that Lemoyne was not giving her beat. She sang superficially with color or allure. "She’ll do better In the next act when she sings "Adieu. o«»r little table." announced Barry when the curtain went down and the lights flared up. first act doesn't really give her a coance.” I wg* greatly relieved. During the Intermission the Wights began discussing amazing cumber ol flower* and tel -grams that Lemoyne had rocrived wishing her succeaa. "By Jove! I’ve done a terrible thing.' 'said Barrington Pierce. "I forgot to send anything. I get more absent-minded daily. I do believe. But Lemoyne kaows It's a stupid failure of mine and will forgive my negligence I am ' Women often forgive the lack of attention hut it hurts Just the same." I replied lowering my voice. I kntw Ler .iyne'X adoration for him and I felt aad to think Barry had neglected her

on her night of nights.

Once again tb. curtain was drawn and revealed Manon and | her dashing Chevalier In the ’ happy atmosphere of their little home. Manon has hoard that her husband is about to be seized and is under great emotional stress when she begins to sing farewell to the little table and to her coxy surroundings which have been filled with unspeak-

able bliss.

"Now. now," whispered Barry leaning forward and at tbe same lime keeping time with her forefinger to tbe melancholy tune. Again, however. 1 was conj scious of the lack of some vital quality in the singer's voice. I have seldom heard the aria before without being moved to tear*. It Is true that the’technical part of the work was well done, the note* were brilliant and like icicles wero sharp and crystal dear. But fhe thing that makes the role of Manon so appealing and touches the heart of the simple workingman is the sympathy created for the innocent girl-wife, it was plain to see. that Lemoyne had failed to produce the desired ef-

fect.

"Great Scott.” murmured Barry. "somethlnght wrong with Lemoyne.' I’ve never heard her do anything-as poorly as that. She simply sang Ihe words and kept time to the music; that’s not enough. She won't even get by If die doesn't wxke up to the Suddenly I had an Idea. I had been thinking over what he had idvid about forgetting to remember Lemoyne vrith a greeting of flowers or even a note. I know how this neglect would ■ib-consdously enter Lemoyne's very being and unfit her for the tremendous emotional task. "Listen. Barry." I said, "will j you do something for Bie?" ' You have only to ask. ma cherie." he replied with an eager light In his luminous eyes, j "All right. Good! Co bark stage—find Lemoyne—speak to her—tell her we're all with her —make her understand that you are loo. that It means everything to you whether shr puts It over cr not tonight. Please. Barry, as he hesitated, "yourie got to. Jt'a only right.” With a nod of his head and a quick apology to the DeWights he left the box. There was more than the usual pause between the second ! and third acts. The audience began to grow restless. From one of the upper galleries someone . hissed. Then a cat-call unmlsj takably on tbe al-! In a few moments the theatre was charged with unrest, someone began stamping their feet and tbe noise

I 1 began to regret the fact that I j '• had Interferred. for It was possi-1 g blc that the interview with Barry had only served to make matters worse. 1 squirmed uneasily In my seat.
