There is not a theatrical manager in
New York who is not overrun with
applications for the use of his stage
for rehearsals. This is a professional
courtesy, no charge being exacted by
any reputable manager. There being
great many more rehearsing. COM
panies than can possibly be accommo-
dated, the more importan. companies
are naturally given the preference and
probably three organiza tons are given
temporary habitation every day at
each of the Broadway theaters Other
companies are obliged to Shift for
themselves and every hall in the city
is utilized.
At the Metropolitan opera house the
other day one opera company occupied
the stage, another rehearsed in the
foyer and a third invaded the sacred
precincts of the Vaudeville club. At
Palmer's the stage is occupied by au-
tomato base ball appara tus. Della
Fox had to lead her forces into the
foyer on the balcony floor, while with
1.-The Passing Show 'Trilby,'' 1.-The
War of Wealth. Rush City," ION the
"Tar and Tartar crowded each other
on the various Broadway stages. Clar-
endon hall, Central Music hall, Murray
Hill lyceum and every dancing acad-
envy and all the large rooms in the
theatrical district are filled every day
with perspiring Thespians, swearing
stage managers and frequently ner-
Vous and --soul-harrowed authors and
composers.
The two big theatrical magnates
Charles Frohman and Jacob Lift have
hardly commenced to rehearse their
numerous companies yet, but when
they do begin to marshal their i'm
mense forces in earnest, they will have
to look for a job lot of stages on ac-
count of their doing business on such
an immense scale Mr.. Lifts war

Frohman's John Drew company will
begin rehearsals next week.

"Kismet," the newest thing in the
comic opera line, seems to be too much
up to date for New York even. The
story of a boy who was brought up
to believe he is girl and of girl
who is reared under the delusion that
she is boy proved too auacious for
metropolitan audience-at- least so the
critics say. But we venture to think
that the opera will make money in New
York.
w. T. Carleton will produce an opera
this season that will prove novelty,
Notwithstanding. the fact that 1t was
composed four years ago. 1t is en-
titled the Lilly of Killarney" and
enjoys the distinction of being the only
Irish opera ever produced. The name
of the composer is a guaranty of it's
musical worth, for he was Sir julius
Benedict, the famous music master
of Queen Victoria. Sir julius was
knighted as a reward for the beaut1-
full music he composed for this opera,
music which is in perfect harmony
with the locale, notwithstanding that
it was the work of German. Sir
julius spent. many years in Ireland
and caught the spirit of the Irish melo-
die strain.
The Lilly of Killarney" is, as those
familiar with it know, is Boucicault's
noted play, 1.-The Colleen Bawn,"
set to music. 1t needs no further
encomium.
The lyrics are gems of melody and
sweet poetry. Among them are "Eily
Mavourneen," 1.-The Cruiskeen Lawn"
I'm Alone and the charming duet,
"The Moon Hath Raised Her Lamp
Above
Mr.. Carleton, who will produce the
opera in st. Paul this season, regards
it as the best operate medium for at
tracing the public that he has ever
controlled.
