you who do see them, remember TO save
a little of your attention for two things.
One is the way that Alvarez has of al
ways talking to himself whenever it is
necessary for him, by means Of dumb
show, to carry forward the action. He is
not, as is the way of SO many actors and
singers, repeating the lines that are be-
ing said or sung at the moment by the
other people on the stage. On the con-
trary, he is saying to himself what he
imagines the character he Is personating
would be saying in answer to what is
beng actually uttered. and it is this
which makes his gestures and by-play
more natural than those of almost any
other singer.
The other point is Heglon's wonderful
management of drapery. It is art and
genius combined. If she neither sang her
acted, she would yet be well worth going
to see for the actual eloquence which she
tmparts to her robes and the cloaks which
cover them. 1t is an inherent part Of
the character and its interpretation-the
magnificent folds of the imperial mantle
and the visible shudder that runs from
her through it when in the last scene she
looks down and realizes that she is clutch
ed by the rigid hands of the dead man,

MUSICAL.

After a week OF enjoyable concerts by
Prof. DAM and his band corps. the pa-
irons Of Como park will be entertained
again Tor week, commencing this after
noon at 2:3o, by the Minnesota State
band whose past visits to this resort
have been occasions of most artistic
triumph. The history of this band pre,
sents a record OF striking success. al
though scarcely q year has passed since
the inception of dts organization: vet
during that time it has won by sheer
Worthiness a leading position among the
musical attractions of the state. The
honor for this success is due To the
Joint efforts, Of Messrs. C. M. Selling, the
director of the band; and w. J. Tomp-
kins, its manager. Winter and summer
alike. each week has seen at least two
or more rehearsals of the band. It Is
a we'll known fact that the only man
ner In which band can acquire stellar
proficiency is by constant and careful
rehearsal. This constant practice of the
Minnesota State band members is indi-
Gated in its clever ensemble work for
1t is marked by none of the ruggedness
OF many local bands, but there is a tone
shading, an evenness and a degree of
precision that is exhibited by but few
state band organizations.
Prof. Selling is clever musician, and
while he does not affect a grotesque,. ex-
aggerated or sensational manner of lead
Ing, still he secures In his modest style
all the artistic effect from his men that
could be desired. The, Minnesota State
band is today one of the best adver-
tised bands in the state and its acquairt-
ance to the public is in large measure
due to the progressive methods of its
young, energetic and hustling manager,

AT THE METROPOLITAN,

The history Of the prize ring during the
three famous battles, which marked the
rise and fall of three of the greatest glad
iators of the rcped arena The first of
these was at New Orleans when John L.
Sullivan, the idol of the pugilistc world,
went down to defeat before James ]. Cor
bett, the exponent of the new school of
fighting. Sullivans admirers never for
gave Corbett for the downfall of their
champion, and when, at Carson City on
the 18th of March, 1897, the California
fighter was beaten by Bob Fitzsimmons.
their joy was unbounded and their adj
mirat1on for the fallen John L. was
transferred to the lanky Australian. FItz-
summons was pronounced to be the great
est fighter of the age, and 1t was predict
ed that he would hold the championship
for many years. While Jeffries was fight
ing, winning and losing during two years.
Fftzsimmons was resting on his Iaurels
and waiting for a rival he deemed wor-
thy to rise from the ranks; after Shar-
keys defeat by Jeffries the latter was
considered to be in the championship
class and Fttzsimmons accepted his chal-
lenge to fight for the championship of
the United States and of the world.
The fight took place before the Coney
Island Athletic club, June Of this year;
1t was pronounced to be the most scien-
tific, cleanest and hardest-fought battle
in the history of the fisttc arena Jeffries
was only twenty-four years old, a com
parative novice in the ring, while his OPP
ponent was a seasoned veteran of many
years experience, and a marvel Of ring
generalship. Nine thousand people wit
messed the fight, paying from Sc to IS each
for admission. In eleven rounds of hur-
ricane fighting they saw the young giant
wrest the championship from the great
est, fastest and trickiest pugilist the ring
has ever known. 1t had been announced
by the management of the club that the
Edison Vitascope would be used to picture
the fight as 1t occurred, and thirty-six
electric lamps of $500 candle power each
made the ring and arena as light as day.
Every effort possible was made to insure
the perfect reproduction of the great bat
tie which was delayed from $3.50 to 1921
by the Edison yitascope operator In or
der to have the arrangements. perfect In
every detail. When the pictures and In
strument were tested it was found that
the work had been wonderfully success
full; the camera had been placed close to
the ring and as result the figures of
the gladiators appear life-size. Every
movement of principals and seconds is
seen with remarkable distinctness afford
ing the spectators an opportunity Of
watching the delivery and effect of every
blow struck.
The vitascope pictures Of the Jeffries-
Fitzsimmons fight will be on exhibition
at the Metropolitan opera house, in this
city, all this week, commencing tonight,
with a matinee each day at the regular
