"OH. LISTEN TO THE BAND"
AND NOTICE WHETHER YOU CAN HEAR
AS MANY INSTRUMENTS AS
yOIT CAN SEE.

Once-this story has been told many times-once
John Stetson. who was the manager OF the GLOBE
Theatre, In Boston. standing near the orches-
ira while a rehearsal was going on. and he noticed
that the trombone player was not playing. See
here" he said to his business manager. whats
that Teller there doin'? Why amt he playin'?'
He isn't supposed TO play just now. said the
business manager; me has rest here"
We'll. don't pay him to rest" Mr.. stetson re-
Piled. II pay him to play. You tell him that he's
got to play or I'll discharge him"
And now It is charged that some OF the mu-
siclans In some OF the bands In Of the city
parks are worse than the Globe Theatre trombone
player and that they rest all the time. The charge
was made yesterday by a committee of the Knights
Of Dor to President Clausen Of the Park Board
Mr. Clausen was surprised He had never sus-
pected that the people not getting all the
noise the city was paying for. He said he would
look into IT, meaning probably. that he would look
to see whether sound came out Of all the instru-
ments The labor men said that II the way
with certain Enthusiastically were not prepared
to name them-to draw pay for, say, forty-five or
fifty musicians. at from $ 10 80 EACH and then
employ. say. thirty musicians. and for the rest
"dummles"-men who looked as II they were play
Ing so as TO beguile an inexperienced Park Board,
but who were not playing.
II Is an ordinary musician who gets 50 and SOLO
ist who gets So OF course. there is no charge OF
dummy soloists. When one man stands up TO play
alone even a Park Board tell whether he Is
doing II or not. II It happens TO be standing by
But when the cymbal clashes and the clarion rings
and the loud tlmbrel is sounded and everybody
hears the loud bassoon. who tell whether or not
the man with the piccolo is getting anything out
OF II, except S a day?
And the worst OF 1t is that the loss all falls on
the poorer classes II is bad enough for the rich 10
go to the Metropolitan Opera House and find that
half of the orchestra is under the projecting stage
he p
conduct as that which is charged is taking the very
music out OF the ears OF the poor.
Some persons there are, without musical cultiva-
ton who wish that all the musicians OF some bands
were dummies. but that has nothing to do with the
question. The music is not intended for them, any
more than the golf links are laid out In the parks
for the benefit OF the blind. And even II dummies
did improve the band there Is no reason why
the bandmaster should get IS day extra every
time he improves the band by employing one. Let
the city employ the dummies directly at 10 cents
a day. and save "A 20 day for the taxpayers. 1t is
an important question. With gas at 30 cents and
dummy musicians at 10 cents, New-York might get
through the summer in unusual comfort

THE DRAMA.
MR. HOPPER AT THE FIFTH AVENUE
THE CHARLATAN."

reproduction Of the musical farce of The
Charlatan" was tastefully effected. last night at
the Fifth Avenue Theatre. and Mr. De Wolf Hop
per. making his Remittance here. after. long
absence was welcomed with kindness by a numer-
Gus audience. Handsome faces wreathed with
smiles. 1.-THE figures clad In gay apparel. cheerful
scenery frolicsome antics and sonorous and
sprightly music the elements OF Mr.. Hopper's
entertainment. and he invariably mparts innocent
pleasure. The story OF The Charlatan' is fanc-
full romantic. and comic. and the development Of II
provides situations that sufficiently dramatic to
be effective.-inspiring interest and often causing
laughter: and this result is by no means common
In works OF this class. Mr.. Charles Klein. who
wrote the piece, shows a sense Of form, and while
his language is not brilliant It Is at least rational
and, In the lyrical parts II Is fluent and smooth.
Mr. Sousas music. consisting chiefly Of marches, is
inspirting and several OF his melodes-such that
OF the Orange Blossoms-have taking lit and
lovely cadence. Refinement. mirth. and farcical
absurdty, interviewed with sweet sounds. are the
components OF the production. and therefore 1t de-
serves the public favor.
Mr.. Hopper. actor. seems more proficient In
burlesque than in anything like comedy His meth
cd is strenuous and drastic rather than sponta-
neously and naturally humorous and he is gro
tesque. fanastica. and ridiculous, rather than In
PHYSICALLY droll. But his acting has mental pur-
pose and physical vigor he knows his intention
and he amply and directly fuils II. going straight
hold His best stroke OF mpersonation was the
dream scene. the opening OF the second act, and
that evinced superior and valuable talent. Among
Mr. Hopper's associates.-nearly all OF whom are
notable for intelligence and zeal in the merry bust
OF foolery and all OF whom were smartiy and
piquanty equipped.-the most striking figure per-
haps is that Of Miss Jessie Mackaye, one Of the
neatest and brightest little creatures that have
appeared here In time. She lacks vocal power,
but she shows the true instinct OF srchness ana
vim for buslesque and her action Is full OF delicate
grace. The tenor OF the group Is Mr.. EDMUND
Stanley-not an actor but as a singer. impassioned
and capable much applause was bestowed upon
him; and for Miss Jessie Mackaye. Miss Jeanne
fowler Miss HIlda Clark and Miss Adne Bowler
there were showers Of roses. to which nothing YER
bal need be added Mr.. Hopper's return Is well
come and he should have success. The manner In
which he makes his action expressive OF MS
thought and his feeling delightfully."- expert and 1t
shows him vastly superior TO the raft OF Bernards
and Foys with which the comedy stage is just now
so heavily encountered W. w.
