States and you who see them can judge
for yourselves; whereas you who do not
see them can not be given an adequate
idea by any ones mere description. But
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 Heglons wonderful
management of drapery. 1t 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
lmpartS to her robes and the cloaks which
cover them. 1t is an inherent part of
the character and it's 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.

Those who have never witnessed con-
test of this nature will be much sur
prised to find that the element OF brutal
ity is of very slight consequence. It is
simply a grand struggle of strength,
science and endurance between two mag
nificent specimens of physical manhood,
who have trained and practiced for the
contest as the gladiators of old did for
the Olympian games.

band, John R. Fell, she received So, OOO 600

ors came to WOO, but she sent them all
away and went cruising on the May.
The yacht was sumptuously fitted up,
fleet, and stocked for a trip around the
world.
Mr.. Van Rensselaer, then a popular
New York bachelor and commodore of
the Corinthian Yacht club, was one Of
the guests on board. Cupid was an
other.
Soon after the trim little craft came
back to home waters, Mr.. Anthony J.
DrexeI-the brother of Mrs. Fell-gave
a dinner at the Bellevue hotel in
the Quaker City. Only the cream of
Philadelphia society was invited. The
engagement was then announced of Mrs.
Fell and Mr.. Van Rensselaer,. 1t was
followed by a quiet wedding, and then
the May went away again on honey

This little love story was talked about
all over the country and called a ro-

honor for this success Is due to the
Joint efforts of Messrs. C. M. Selling, the

Prof. Selling is a clever musician. and
while he does not affect grotesque. ex-

all the artistic effect from his men that
could be desired. The Minnesota State
oand is today one of the best adver-

due to the progressive methods of its
young, energetic and huStling manager
W. j. Tompkins, whose friends are legion

well qualified for the business ministra-
ton of an organization of this sort. For
the week at Como park Messrs. Selling

interesting concerts, embodying sufficient
classical selections to please the student
of music, and with an abundance of pom

to music of this sort.

Miss Minnie Drexel Fell, since her de-
but last autumn, has been the most pop
ular girl in Philadelphia society An heir
ess who is also a pretty girl is not too
often found. All men found Minnie Fell
adorable. She possessed the potent, in
describable charm that makes the popu-
lar woman-a charm that is stronger
than wealth, beauty or intellect.
''She is more than pretty-she is fas-
cinating,' they said of her when they
went away. There was one exception to
this rule-one man who was imperVious
to the magnetism of her personality.
She came of a race of women known
for their social triumphs. Her aunts,
Mrs. John and Mrs. Anthony Drexel,

AT THE METROPOLITAN.

The history Of the prize ring during the
past half century contains the record of
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 J. Cor
-bett, the exponent of the new school Of
lighting. Sullivan's 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
miration for the fallen John L. was
transferred to the lanky Australian. Fitz-
simmons was pronounced to be the great
est fighter of the age, and it was predict
ed that he would hold the championship
for many years. While Jeffries was fight
ing, winning and losing during two years.
Fltzsimmons was resting on his laurels-
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 Fftzsimmons accepted his chaI-
Ienge 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-
tlfic cleanest and hardest-fought battle
In the history of the fistic arena. Jeffries
was only twenty-four years old, a com
parative novice in the ring, while his op-
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 it 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 $50 to 1921
by the Edison VitaScope operator in or
der to have the arrangements perfect in
every detail. When the pictures and in
strument were tested 1t was found that
the work had been wonderfully success
1ul; the camera had been placed close to
the ring and a 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-
FitZsmmons fight will be on exhibition
at the Metropolitan opera house, in this

they said Of him.
TOO BUSY FOR LOVE
In love affairs Mr. Cassatt has never
figured. Perhaps he has been too busy.
When he went on the May he was in
search of rest and recreation. Miss Fell
was heartwhole fancy free. Older heads
might have seen the danger in compan-
ionship under just those circumstances.
The May sailed for Havana and spent
several weeks in Southern waters Miss
Fell is fond Of yachting. She loves the
smell Of the salt air, the roll of the sea,
and she spent her time onzdeck. Mr. Cas-
satt was often her companion, and Cupid,
hiding among the sails, laughed and
sharpened his arrows. tue..r
Mrs. Van Rensselaer,, remembering the
days not long past when She had found
her hearts romance on board the little
yacht, smiled, but said not a word.
Its the air on the boat-remarkably
fine air, by the way was Mr.. Van Rens-
selaer's comment.
WEDDING BELLS TO RING.
When the May returned to Philadelphia
the love affair was no longer a secret.
The engagement of the young people
was announced. The innocent-looking
yacht, where in two years mother and
daughter had lost their hearts, anchored
in the harbor.
Philadelphia young people looked at the
craft longingly, but to all appearances
it was as trim and conventional as any
other yacht.
The next extended trip the May will
make will be to take Mr.. and Mrs. Bob
by Cassatt on a honeymoon cruise. The
wedding will take place in the early au-
tUmn at Camp Hill, Fort Washington, the
handsome country home left Miss Fell by
her father.
1t will be the grandest event of the
season, not only because Minnie Fell and
Bobby Cassatt are Itch and prominent,
but because they are universally loved
There will be festivities at Camp Hill
and the spacious home will be crowded
to overlooking with distinguished guests.
Perhaps one toast will be drunk to the
May-the boat to lovers dear.
Incidentally it might be mentioned that
Mr.. and Mrs. Bobby Cassatt will have
an income of $4,000 year and more later.
Now that the May has established it
self as factor in the family affairs of
