Her mixed tweed skirt, her black

1.-THE Wizard Of the Nile is by Har
ry B. Smith. the we'll known librettist
of Robin HOOD and a score Of other
acknowledged successes, and Victor
Herbert, the eminent 'cellist and direc-
sor of Gilmore's band. The story Of
the opera revolves around a Persian
wizard, who. having strolled into
Egypt IN the days Of the early Ptole
mics, is forced, in order to save his
life, to pretend that he can cause the
Nile to rise in period Of drought.
To his surprise, the Nile does rise
cOincident with his incantations and
in return therefor he is promised the
hand Of King PtOlemy's daughter, Gle
opatra, a maiden Of sixteen, who does
not understand what love is. The
magician tries to teach her, but fails
ANONYMOUSLY, for, when she realizes
the force of the tender passion she
declares that history will demand that
she wait for Marc Anthony. The part
of Kibosh, the wizard, is said to give
Mr.. Daniels wide opportunities to dis
play his unique and comic personality
, The reports of last seasons production
give great credit to Mr.. Daniels man

Which the opera was placed before the
public.

and Mrs. Madeline Lucette Riley. He
contends that their dramatic creations
are superior to those Of their brother
dramatists in this country. Dwelling
on the sordid spirit that actuates the
average man to write a play. the
writer says: Il know that my postman
writes plays and wants me to read
them. My butcher devotes his even
irgs to a $4,000 possibility for Maude
Adams (Which beats all the ribs Of
beef and saddles of mutton into pallid,
meaty nOthingness). My barber admits
that he has been guilty Of drawing

shall0Wness Of Fifth avenue society.
My newsdealer has perpetrated a satire
on the marrying for title subject, in
which Chuck Connors and his "goir
are suggested as leading interpreters.
Wherever / turn l meet people who
have written plays. They always re-
mind me of the Rialto-ite whose idea
it was to write twenty thousand plays,
sell them at a dollar apiece. and re-
tire with the twenty thousand dollars
1t is impossible to imagine an industry
that has been dragged into such dis
repute as that Of play-writing. The
man who hasn't written a play de-
serves a halo, and a little pink niche

A tentative performance of 1.-The
Serenade," a new opera by Harry B.
Smith and Victor Herbert, was given
by the Bostonians, at the Euclid
avenue opera house, Cleveland, o., last
Wednesday night before an audience
which completely filed the auditorium.
The composition was enthusiastically
received. The Serenade, which gives
| the piece it's title. is sung by Alvaradc,
baritone Of the Madrid Opera, to
Dolores, the ward and fancee of a
jealous old duke, these parts being
played by Messrs. Barnabee and Mac
Donald and Jessie Bartlett Davis. The
scene of action is laid in Spain during
the beginning of the 18th century. The
opera was beautifully costumed and
mounted. The comedy element Is
largely in evidence and is furnished
by Mr.. .Barnabee as the duke George
rockingham, as Gomez. a stage-struck
tailor, and Harry Brown, as Colombo
broken down tenor. The complica-
tions are we'll worked out and the book
is full of humorous lines.

Metropolitan opera house his latest
success, which has been pronounced
the best comedy he has ever had. THE
Wrong Mr.. Wright" The play is the
work Of George H. Broadhurst.
The story is said to be highly anus
ing. The principal characters meet
first at a hotel in Old Point Comfort.
Sites, who halls from San Francisco,
is in pursuit of a clerk who has robbed
him by forgery of $4,000, and for
whose arrest he has offered a reward
Of $4,000. In an economical effort to
save this reward, he has travelled to
Virginia. To hide his identity he as
sumes the name of Mr.. Wright, and
the first complication arises on his
meeting a nephew and niece, who are
spending a few weeks at the same
place. He takes them into his conf
dence A far more serious cOmplica-
ton arises on the arrival Of Henrietta
Oliver, who has been employed by the
detective agency to try to capture the
defaulter She has learned that he
has assumed the name of Mr.. Wright,
and she Immediately picks out Sites
as the man for whom she is In search.
From being mean and close he be-
comes liberal almost to extravaganza.
He sends her flowers in abundance, but
she never forgets that he is the thief.
Out of this grow puzzles and situa-
items. She finally causes his arrest,
but he proves that he is Sites. Then
he chooses the fin de steele detective
for o wife Another love match Gull
inmates teo. and then the curtain falls
for the last time in front of mirth
full, reorganized stage full of players.
MIR. Reed has a splendid role in Sites,
and the balance of the company, in
Gliding Miss Isadore Rush, all have
merry characters. In the cast are
Charles Coote, Holbroak Blinn, Sheri-
dan Topper, Charles S. Able. Julian

ties abounded for the purpose of writ
ing a play that will offer all the ele

country little over thirty years back
and has succeeded in presenting q
unique story of heart interest which
seems to possess many qualities of en-
during popularity.
Vaudeville shows between stations is
the latest unique idea for pleasing pa
irons Of the great trunk lines.
Long Journeys across the country that
tire even experienced travellers will be
relieved Of some Of their wearying feat
ures if the vaudeville cars become
poE ular. The experiment has been at
tempted by one line from this city to
Chicago, and a car specially construct
ed for performers who will amuse the
reads patrons was recently completed.
Competition for passenger traffic to
Chicago and the West has been so great
within the past few years among the
trunk lines that rate cutting failed to
bring desired lesults to the road practic-
Ing 1t. AT one time rOund-trip ticket
from New York to Chicago could be
had for SIG. The traffic regulating as
sociations broke up rate cutting from
time to time, but it is still practiced to
a certain extent. However, the roads
most anxious for business desired to
introduce an innovation that would act
as a magnet to the travelling public.
Some bright passenger agent, who rea-
lized the hold vaudeville performances
now have on the public, hit on the
vaudeville car idea He believed the
travelling public would be more than
pleased to pay a small admission fee
to see a f1rst-class vaudeville show, the
programme to be arranged ron the con-
tinuous- performance plan While jour
neying across the continent.

comic opera, and Messrs La Shelle and
Clark, in the first season of their ex-
istence as operate managers, have re-
ceived the high compliment of having
an American comic opera performed
in the German language upon the con-
tinent. This occurred on the 2Sth of
September at the Carl theater in Wen
ma, when THE Wizard of the Nile"
was produced at the Austrian capital
The Vienna correspondent of the
New York Sun, in mentioning that
Der Zauberer vom Nil" as it is called
in German, is the pronounced hit CT
the opera season there, adds that
managers here are so aroused by its
production that it will undoubtedly
open the way to the offering of many
more American comic operas on the
German stage"
The original cast is retained with the
exception of the Cleopatra now played
by Miss Frances Burkhardt, whose
work has met with praise. 80 '''~sA
