There is little doubt that Maurice Grau will
give the performances Of the Nibelungen Ring
at tho Metropolitan next season just as they
are to be given at Covent Garden in June and
July, for the project promises to be immensely
successful in London. A third cycle has al
ready been announced. and the seats for that
have nearly all been disposed of. New York

than the London public is. These cycles are
said to he the first IN in London since

but IL Is likely that its success would be quite
as great here. as the programmes would contain
York, headed, OF course, by Jean do Reszke.
Apart from the local support to the enterprise,
visitors from other towns could be counted on,
and they would make several repetitions Of the,
cycles possible. But there are certain features
OF the Coyenl Garden performances that would
probably be little enjoyed here, even by persons
who came from other cities. Three OF the op.

LAUGHED AT THE WRONG TIME.

In addition to the regular claque at
the Paris theatres, a new profession has
sprung UP with a similar object At
tached to the cafes chantants are GER
tain individuals who for the modest
sum Of or francs a night engage to
indulge in hilarious and contagious
merriment and at particular couplets
supposed to be more than usually comic
to split their sides with laughter. But
mere routine IS occasionally rather
dangerous, as was proved not long
since by the following incident:
Without the fact having been COM
municated to the professional laugher
at cafe chantant in the Champs Ely
sees, a particular song had been with
drawn from the programme and an
ether substituted.
The laugher had been quietly doing
without attending to what was going
on, when, suddenly rousing himself and
looking at the clock inside the gate, he
perceived, believing the programme I'M
changed, that it was time for him to
indulge in one of his most excruciating
fits CT cachinnatory excitement. He
did so
In another instant he was nearly
murdered. He had burst out in the
midst Of a touching couplet about AL
SAGE and Lorraine. Though he escaped
with his life, his hat was smashed in
and his clothes torn off his body by
the deeply moved and patriotic audi
enCe before he could explain that he
was not a German in disguise. but an
unfortunate professional. Laughter who
had exercised his calling in the wrong
place.

SOTHERN'S NEW PLAY.

The scenes Of a Shilling's Worth +"
Mr.. Sotherns new comedy, are laid in
the picturesque period of 1776 in New
York. when the best residences were
near the Battery. The play is a ro-
mantic story of true love. end, al
though it is Of the stirring time of
ITS, it IS not a war drama. but it
touches lightly on the Revolution, as
all stories Of that period must.
Mr.. Sothern appears as a gallant
young American. Godfrey Remsen, who
has spent some years in England. To
revenge himself upon the woman he
once loved and who, believing him 10
be poor, has thrown him over for a
wealthy baron, he hastily marries a
simple little country GIL VINO mas pcon
brought up on farm.
She discovers that she has been mar
ried from pique and naturally resents
it. The plots of Godfrey's former love
who is now a widow, to separate him
from his young wife result in efforts to
have rim arrested as a spy in the en-
Dloy Of General Washington to make
him believe his wife BETRAYED him.
She is foiled in this by Godfrey. who
generates the British Headquarters
in disguise and saves his wife from in
suit
The story eliminates happily in the
reconciliation Of husband and wife
