HUMMlNG IN PUBLIC PLACES,

Men, More Often Than Women. Are
Guilty of the Misdemeanor.
(which is it, men or women, who
are most given to singingi" Queried
the woman.
"Of course do not mean to ask
whether there are more men or wo-
men musicians. No one cares any,
thing about that AS long as the
piece of humanity which claims to
be musician is one the lover of
music does not care whether it wears
trousers or skirts.
But the singer mean is that in
dividual you sit beside in the cars or
pass in the street who is humming
tune. Physicians, l believe, have
proved that such little idiosyncrasies
show weakness of the brain in GER
tain directions, but if it is so it is of
such delicately superficial nature
that other mortals, who have other
like minute weaknesses in other di-
rections, would never know the diff
ference, yet the street singer is fun
ny, unless you happen to be tired or
cross. Then he is maddening.
i sat beside one of these singers
in the surface car the other day.
noticed him casually as l sat down,
thinking, without putting the
thought into words, that he was a
fine looking man. l had view of
his profile later, and that confirmed
my first good impression.
He was rather past middle age,
just reaching the iron gray age of a
we'll preserved man. He was portly,
we'll dressed and evidently gentle
man. He had dignified air, and
his face was almost stern. This ex-
preston was emphasized by the
mouth, which had thin lips pressed
closely together and dropping lit
tie at the corners.
Il should never have thought of
him again if l had not heard, as
sat looking through my shopping
list, strange sound, which seemed
to come from beside me- It was a
peculiar sound, coming at regular
intervals, something between the
sound of saw and the purring of a
bass voiced cat. turned involun-
tarily to look at the man. The sound
certainly proceeded from his throat,
but there was not the culver of q
single feature, and the stern mouth
was as immovable as before.
Il was fascinated. l looked away,
and, with studied carelessness, look.
ed back again, again looked away
and again looked back. The same
buzzsaw sound was coming from
the same direction, and there was
still that stern, smileless face.
should almost have thought my ears
had deceived me if those deep bass
notes, which, it seems, must have
been prelude, had not suddenly
changed to tum, tidy dunn, did-y
dunn, dunn, dunn, rising. and falling
in the most lively fashion, though
there was no tune which I could rec.
ognize. Evidently my neighbor was
not musician in the accepted sense
of the word, but there was no mis-
taking the fact that the singing,
such as it was, proceeded from his
vocal organs, though there was new
er once while l sat there, so far as ]
could see, the movement of muscle
of that imperturbable face.
You will find a woman humming
occasionally, though not SO often.
She huns in a steady monotone and
is more likely to show outward and
visible signs of it, and l don't think
| ever passed woman in the street
who was humming. Why is it9
don't know, am sure, unless it is
another evidence of sex in gray mat.

NationaI-"The Sercnnde."

There was an appreciative auditor in
every seat in the National Theater last
evening, for the bill was The Serenade ''
The dainty and bewitching music and
clever libretto of this production took
Washington by storm last year. and
many of those in the audience last night
had seen the opera at least once before
The cast this year is practically the same
as last, with two exceptions. the substi-
tuition of Helen Bertram for Alice Mel
sen and of William Broderick for Eugene
Cowles. Although Miss Bertram sings
and acts well, and probably does as much
with her part as any one could under
the circumstances there is no denying
that the piquant and captivating person
ality of Miss Nielsen made that role last
year, and that her departure is a great
loss TO the company. The work of the
chorus is shade better than in the first
production and the well-known leading
members of the organization are all in
the best possible trim. Henry Clay Bar
nabee's dry wit seems to have been sea-
soned with time, like old wine, and his
inimitable asides were never more eff
fective than last night. w. H. Mcdonald,
as Alvarado, sang and acted with his
usual tunefulness;, and spirit, while
George B. Frothingham's Gomez was
grotesquely funny. and evoked constant
laughter from the audience. Harry
Browns Colombia and William Broder-
icks Romero Were equally we'll done.
Josephine Bartlett accomplished some
good work as the Mbther Superior. Last,
but not by any means least, JESSIE Bart
lett Davis, as Dolores. scored her usual
emphatic success, II is worth the price
of an orchestra seat simply to hear and
see her when she sings Don Jose of Sc

A large audience gathered at the Acad-

reappearance of William III. West and his
minstrel company in this city for the
first time since the termination of the
partnership between the present star and
George Primrose. All the old favorites
were greeted with applause as they made
their appearances in the first part and
their olio turns were also well received.
Ezra Kendall. Carroll Johnson. Tom Lew
is and Charles NJ. Ernest created the
bulk of the merriment without which
such a show would be naught. Their
work was ably supported by the turns

If the possession of a hyphenated name
is the chief requirement for success in
dual role. there promises soon to be a
dearth of coupling pins in the vicinity of
the local Rialto. The actor who has
aroused this very laudable ambition in
the profession is H Reeves Smith, who
heads the English company presenting
Robert Ganthony's three-act comedy. "A
Brace of Partridges," this week al the
Lafayette. The initial fiutter of the birds
took place last evening, their successful
aerial flight being Witnessed by a small
and exceedingly critical audience, which
approached the Offering with fear and
trembling, but irehained with avidity.
