To the outside musical world-what do you
think of us anyway?
THE question of the hour-what time does
the May Festival begin?

sing italian sure enough.
away from May Festival.
Is there a man base enough to say that the
chorus girls are not pretty?
MANAGER LOCKE expects to have the outer
corridor rooted by tonight.
How the nicely dressed outof.town visitors
did crowd In to see us yesterday.
DURING the applause members of the or

THE majority of the usicians affect the old
Mendelssohn style of wearing the hair.
VERIFY, Pittsburg has many pretty girls,
and they say the men are handsome, too.
OLD PROPS says the onion snow is yet to
come but the onion is here and as strong as
ever.
IT was noticed that several members had to
go out to clear their throats, 30 chilly you
know.
MADAME TEREsE OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES sang
her part in the "Cloister Scene" in excellent
style.
Mr.. JAMES T. RICKETsoN and signor Giu-
seppe Campanari have very pleasant tenor
voices.

sent letters of regret. They are wanted at
home.
THE audience resemDled a big oval ring
trimmed with pearls and studded with dia-
monds.
BOTH Lilli Lehman and Emma Juch are
large women. Their lung capacity is well de-
veloped.
HAVE you noticed how nimbly Miss Aus der
Ohe touches the keys of the piano? She is
great artist.
LILLI lehman is fond of exercise and
nothing pleases her better than to romp and
lift heavy weights.
"LIvEs there a man with soul so dead who
ever to himself hath said that Pittsburg could
not raise a chorus"
WON'T somebody please bribe or kill the
weatherman or perhaps pretty Lehman will
kindly sing him to death.
THE rustic Jig and the Gipsy idyl caught the
crowd last night. More of this simple music
would be greatly appreciated.
MISS HELENE Won DoENHoFF has coal
black hair and dresses nicely. Her manner IS
sprightly, and she is sweet singer.
WHEN Prot. Carl Retter appeared to direct
his TIE Deum the chorus made pretty scene
by waving their handkerchiefs in body.
A FRESH usher came up patronizingly to a
reporter and whispered: Don't forget the
ushers." Alas, we can't forget some people.
LILLI LEHMANN's diamonds are conspicu-
Gus. Her dresses-well, let the ladies describe
them. They must be seen to be appreciated.
THE old lady in the chorus with th fine gray
hair is a conspicuous figure, and nearly every
body singles her out for favorable comment.
IF there are any savage beasts about Pitts
burg they will please consider themselves
soothed by the lovely music of the human
voice divine.
MANY an anxious female who had been bank
ing her hopes for month on hearing Leh-
mann sing wondered yesterday If it would snow
before night.
THE handsome cello player Immediately be-
hind Director Seidl was the cynosure and SUBJ
ject Of box party OF ladies. They wondered
who he was.
MRS. AUGUSTA JUcH, the mother of the
prima donna, travels with her. Like the mother
of Mary Anderson, she takes excellent care Of
her daughter.
SIGNoR PERoTTI stirred the enthusiasm Of
the audience last night. 'tBravor' Good"

called to his senses by his wife.

books are sold for so cents He discharged two
boys last night for fleeing the public. They
were asking 70 cents apiece for them.
"wILL you ask Lilli Lehman to sing
Johnny Get Your Gun2" said a well known
P1ttsburger last night, after one of the prima
donna's technical and difficult efforts.
THE ballet music from the opera Of III enry
VIII" was particularly pleasing to the audi
ence. 1t was advertisement in its rollicking
airs from the more classical selections.
ONLY 20 members of the Mozart Club belong
to the chorus. The general impression seems
to prevail that it is made up principally of the
singers from this club. This is mistake.
- SIR0TT1 answered an encore Dy singing some
little gem; in which he convulsed the musi-
clans and singers by using in it some familiar
snap to them. The audience didn't catch
on.
HERR KALfscH is as active and graceful as
young kid on the stage. He bows low, ex-
posing a bald spot on the back of his head. He
has the happy kDack of using his arms well in
responding to applause.
CARL RETTER is a clever leader He has
the chorus arranged in big square. The
square is divided withNe diagonal line and the
sexes occupy the triangular sections. The eff
feet is quite pleasing to the eye.
Dr. PERsH1Ne thougheit would be better to
wait another year before the May festival was
held. He was afraid it might detracr from the
Exposition project but he il so we'll pleased
with the prospects that he declares the city
must soon have another.
