rtD BY KSELING Faust, the Aged Philosopher, Wearies of Life VICTROLA BOOK OF THE OPERA-GOUNODS FAUST FAUST Fifty-eight years have elapsed sincethe first production of this masterpieceby Gounod; and it is to-day sungthroughout the world more than anyother five operas combined. At theParis Opera alone it has been givenmore than 1500 times. It seems strange now, in view ofthe overwhelming success of Faust, torecall that it was received with indiffer-ence in Paris, and all but failed inMilan. The London production, how-ever, with Titiens, Giuglini, Trebelli,Gassier and Santley, was quite success-ful; and in the following June Patti sangMarguerite for the first time, the operareceiving a tremendous ovation. The story is familiar to almostevery one and will be but brieflysketched here. The libretto by Barbierand Carre does not attempt to followthe Goethe drama, but merely makesuse of the Faust-Marguerite incident.This is sufficient, however, to provide anintensely interesting subject for Go
