' n i - Action in the opera, which was first presented under Arturo Toscanini on Feb. 1, takes place in Paris about 1830. Four young men are hungry and cold. One, however, earns some money and three go out to dine, leaving Rodolfo to finish his waiting. Mi ini, obviously weak and ill, seeks a light for her candle. Rodolfo falls in love with her. fl! 18, 4 iv CW y In the second act, as the friend are dining, Marcello spots a former lover, the gay Muartta, who drags the aged councilor, Alcindoro. Marcello is maddened by her, trying to pretend he take no notice. Musetta gets rid of the old man, and in short order she is in Marcello's arms. The bill for all their dining is left for confused Alcindoro. Ml ..If! ). The course of love has been bumpy for both Rodolfo and Mimi, and Musetta and Marcello. Rodolfo tries to convince Marcello that Mimi no longer loves him, and she flirts with other men. But Rodolfo breaks down and admits it is because of Mimi' illness. She will surely die with him, since he cannot give her the medicine and care she need. Both couples separate. V f j In the last act we are back in the cold room, as in the first act. Some herring and rolls bring a burst of joy and fun, just as Musetta enters saying Mimi is very ill. They bring Mimi into the room, try to warm and comfort her. All to no avail. In the hun-lii- g double calling of her name by Rodolfo, Mini is dead. i 41 orc ILLJtgji J It nks Sws1 TTE (I i o WiVmCx J) $Vs&, 0 W 1 tv jifs & TC $& " "fiW m,.m,.m-mrw- l :;?ts ' 1 Wife fetiiiIP Y , rjx WwBft m .'
