Herbert Millwaro, stage manager OF

where repairs are executed with neatness
and dispatch.
That siternoon on calling round for his
boots, the stage manager was SUI uiprised to

common or garden performance of grand
opera that was fiawless? But the singers
at our local house are for the most part
real grand opera artists - alternating
casts, too-and the grand opera orchestra
has a grand opera conductor. The stag
ing is little short of magnificent. Much
worse staging can be seen any day at the
leading European opera-houses which are
by the city or the Government.
With all this the Tivoli has the added cost
of brin ging most of its artists from great
distance, and yet it charges prices that
would make European impre saros hold
up their hands in horror and cry ruin"

was laid with view of leading UP 20 that
belfry scene" But that is looking back
ward-looklng at the play forward
which is the right way to. regard it. You
cannot guess a scene ahead what is COM
ing.
Yes, Belasco has worked up his "se-
lected" material with great skill. OF
course. he has written round the beIfry
scene as surely as other purveyors OF
melodrama have written round boiler ex-
plosions and train wrecks. but the palm is
his for has he not produced much more
magnificent piece OF claptrap than any OF
his rival melodrama- wrights?
Talking of rivals, heard rival man

of the Tivoli's soloists and orchestra, anc
