And 1t Doesn't Happen to Be a
Nude Either.

Standardization Gossip.

The third instalment OF Giving pic
lures Offered to New Workers. was pre-
S nted al the Imperial Music Hall last
night to an invited audience. The tab
leaux were on the lines already made
familiar by .I?rr kllyani at the Garden
Theatre and Mr.. Hammerstein at
Korter & Balls. but there wasn't IS
much positive nudity In them as there
has been in the others. and neither was
there so much art in the anatomical rev.
elation1.
one would expect that a set OF I'M
perial living pictures would be suffi-
GENTLY shocking at some point or other
to rouse an Imperial audience, but there
Is nothing in the exposition OF the fe-
male form. as II is exposed at the I'm
perial. to shock anybody. The figures
are carefully shown. with one excep-
ton. and hat Is THE Slave Dealer"
where a girl who must be under treat
ment for obesity recklessly exhibits her
avUirdupois. Strange to say, the hit of
the evening was made by Il picture that
had NJ women In 1t. 1t was a battle
piece, entitled Comrades" in which a
young officer, with a wounded compan-
ion IN one arm, was waving his sword
In defensory defiance OF the enemy. The
suggested action was spirited. The
whole atmosphere was martial and full
Of the Inspiration OF war. 1t atoned for
all the shortcomings of the other pic
lures. and was not only received vocir-
erousily. but awoke an enthusiasm that
satisfied until the tableau was presented
a second time. 1t is by all odds the best
living picture ever seen In New York.
