DRAMATIC DRIFTWOOD.

One of the greatest attractions the
metropolitan will have to offer in the
present season will be the engagement of
Miss Olga Nethersole in repertory.
1.-THE Turtle the only real specimen Of
It's Kind, without question the greatest
comedy success of the day, is announced
Tor an early appearance at the Metro
pol1tan opera house. This humorous
french farce is so genuinely funny, and
IS interpreted with such an artistic touch
by players Of distinction, that it stands
quite alone among the farcical frivolities
OF the period. 1t is essentially Partisan
and is presented with pure French adj
belle Evesson, Jennie Reiffrath, Ada
Deaves, Marion Ballou, Lillian Coleman.
Signor Perugini, George Holland, Uric
Collins, and other admirable actors, The
engagement Is for two nights and We'd
nesday matinee May and 10.
The season at the Grand would be in
complete without visit Of that ever
lasting favorite production. Uncle Tom s
CABIN 1t is announced for an early
visit to the Grand, with more than or
dinary supply of dogs, Evas, Topsys,
Marks, Ice blocks and other numerous
ana attractive features, not to forget the
uniformed band, and the Southern
negroes in their plantation melodies.
The Kirmess under the direction of
Prof. Speedy, for the benefit of the day
nursery, will be given at the Metropolitan
and 6.
Rev. John Watson D. D. Gan Mac

the results of that work are plainly
ms nifest, will admit. Through it's agency
artists of the highest repute have been
brought to the Sanity City, and nearly
ey erything good in the musical line that
the East has enjoyed has also fallen to
our share. The good work that has been
accomplished by the orchestra and chorus
in connection with the club is, perhaps
not so widely known The chorus had its
beginning in the ladies' chorus, which met
several winters ago every Wednesday
morning In connection with the Schubert
club. At the annual meeting In May,
1898, it was decided after much considera-
ton to establish a mixed chorus in con-
nection with the orchestra for oratorio
work. Mr.. Emil Ober-Hoffer was chosen
musical director, and in spite Of many
obstacles to be overcome and numerous
drawbacks, both orchestra and chorus
have f1ourished and developed wonder
fully. When 1t was decided last fall that
the Schubert club would join forces with
the Library concert series, known as the
Library concert series, the use
of both orchestra and chorus was given
up entirely to the large concerts given in
the series during the winter, and both
won enviable encomiums from musicians
both at home and abroad, for the crafty
ing results obtained. The chorus has
now over two hundred voices that have

Of the good work accomplished will face
a large deficit at the end of this seasons

soon as to whether the work Of chorus
and orchestra, work as educational In its

results, will have to be discontinued or
whether some means will be found to pre-
