orchestra play little better music, 81
play the music Il little better, as they
have knack of playing the most mo-
notonons music ever heard? They dc
not seem to make very good selections
on their programs, and | have heard
several rema ks made by patrons OF the
house to the same effect.

Madame McIba, in contradiction OF
recently published reports, desires it to
be understood that she is in no sense the
financial backcr Of the Damrosch opera,
and has 10 pcc,lniary interest in the i'll
tcrprise beyond the salary she receives
as prima donna. The term "angel' has
often been applied to her as cump|i-
ment but she is unable to comprehend
how she could be spoken and written OF
as the ''angel" that furnished funds to
carry on the opera. The public are the
only angels upon whom an imprrssario
should reply.
