These are pictured in _ three episodes. The first episode introduces us to Olympia, a life-sized and wonderful mechanical doll, that talks, walks and sings. It is the invention of Spalanzani and Coppelius. A magic pair of spectacles is sold to Hoffmann by Coppelius in order to deepen the iilusion. Hoifmann falls deeply in love with Olympia, and will not believe that she is not flesh and blood, until the inventors fall out. Then tge deception is exposed when Coppelius smashes the doll. The second episode takes place in Venice, and shows the Grand Canal by moonlight. The Lady Giulietta carelessly casts her eyes on the poet. Hoffmann, who boasts that he is proof against her wiles but promptly loses his heart and head; so much so, that, thinking to win the lady for himself, he challenges her elderly protector, Schlemil, and kills him, only to find that this suited Giulietta very well, as she had another lover waiting for her. Hoffmann sees them floating away in a gondola, while Dapertutto gloats over him. The third episode concerns Antonia, a beautiful singer, who is living in the country in order to recover from a wasting disease. To her comes Hoffmann, and as usual, he falls in love with her. Antonia has had to give up singing, for.she has been told that if she sang it would mean death. Urged on by the evil Dr. Miracle, she sings once again and dies in the arms of Hoffmann. The evil genius who appears in three different guises, as Coppelius, Dapertutto and Dr. Miracle, is the cause of Hoff--mann’s disappointment in each case. 10.
