THE BEST LIVE PICTURE YET.
And It Doesn't Happen to Be a
Nude Either.
Sousa's Band at the Madison Square
Garden-Theatrical Gossip.

The third lnstalment of Giving pic
lures" offered to New Workers was pre-
8 nted at the Imperial Music Hail last
night to an invited audience. The tab
leaux were on the lines already made
familiar by Herr Kilyani at the Garden
Theatre and Mr.. Hammerstein ut
Kocter & Balls. but there wasn't as
much positive nudity in them as there
has been in the others. and neither was
there so nue. art in the anatomical rev.
elationc.
One would expect that n set of Inn
perial living pictures would be sufii-
ciently shocking at some point or other
to rouse an Imperial audience. but there
is nothing in the exposition of the fe-
male form, MS 1t Is exposed at the I'm
perial. to shock anybody. The figures
are carefully shown, with one excep-
ton. and that is 1.-The Slave Dealer
where a girl who must be under treat
mcnt for obesity recklessly exhibits her
avoirdupois. Strange to say, the hit of
the evening was made by a picture that
had no women in It. 1t was a battle
piece, entitled Comrades" in which n
young officer. with a wounded
ion on 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 yocif-
erously, but awoke an enthusiasm that
lasted fully five minutes, and was not
satisfied until the tableau was presented
a second time. 1t is by all odds the best
living picture ever seen in New York.
