AN ABUSE OF NEw-YoRK THEATRES

There may we'll be two opinions to the
hardly necessary to debate the proposition that
in the present state of his calling in this city, he
is an almost unmitigated nuisance. Many peO-
pie will therefore be hastily led to praise the
action of the theatrical managers who are en-
deavoring to break up the spectators business
so far as it affects their particular theatres
Such attempts on the part of managers have
been made before. with little or no measure of
success, unless the gratuitOus advertising thus
secured by the theatres was the end of the
movement. Meanwhile the box Office of the
average theatre continues to be the worst place
at which to buy seats, since the best places in
the house are sold en- bloc to hotel ticket
agencies and the sidewalk Spectator; the abuse
having grown to such proportions that patrons
of one popular Broadway music hall have re-
signed themselves to paying So In the street
for orchestra chairs which advertised at
So but can never be purchased at that figure
because the canny management prefers the
more lucrative alliance with the Spectator.
1t may not be possible to abolish the ticket
specuIator altogether; but we would suggest,
with all due humility. that the managers of
our theatres, during the season which is about
to open retain for the benefit Of the general
public a few seats which may be bought at
the box office at box office rates, and that they
insist upon police protection which will keep the
more obstreperous of the spectators from
sauting theatregoers at the very gates of the
Temple Of Thespis.

self did not intend his indianapolis declaration

campaign of humbug and sophistry which
Colonel Bryan has planned, and the force of its
appeal to certain superexcitable classes or vot-
ers should not be minimized. 1t is all the more
gratifying, therefore, to find that its shallow
ness and false pretence only serve to arouse
the contempt OF Democrats as patriotic and
broad minded as ex-Mnister DENLY.

MUSICAL IN HARMONIC HALL.
An Afternoon of Beautiful Songs-Wo

An Afternoon of Beautiful Songs-Won-
dera Of the Pianola.
A large audience assembled in Har-
anonie hall yesterday afternoon as
guests of the M. Steinert & Sons com
pany. They enjoyed a complimentary
song recital and musicale presented by
this firm. The assisting artists were:
Miss Rosetta Key, soprano; Albert M.
Kanrich, violin; Leon Van Vliet, cello;
G. w. F. Reed accompanist.
AS an overture Suppe's Light Cav
airy" an especially pleasing piece of
descriptive music, was rendered on the
orchestrelle, at which Mr.. Reed pre-
sided.
Miss Keys delightful soprano voice
showed to great advantage in three
songs, Robert Coverley's ITO You and
But to YOU Otto Cantor's "a Token"
and C. H. Rees' Thine Eyes Will Tell"
This last was lullaby and the audi
ence warmly applauded it's feeling rem
dition.
Mr.. Reed then introduced the plan
ola, with Sievekinga "Valse Lente"
and Rats Polka de la Reine' This
wonderful adjunct was placed in posi-
ton before the piano on which Mr..
Reed had just accompanied Miss Key,
and it's operation was a revelation to
music lovers. The technique is me-
chanically perfect, making discord i'm
possible. On the other hand, the phras-
ing is in no sense mechanical, as might
be expected but was most sympathetic,
even in the most difficult selections.
Mr. Reed presided. Mr.. Van Vliet in
Goltermann's "Cantilena' showed him
self master of the cello.
Miss Key then re-appeared in a
charming series of three short songs by
Cecil M. Coverly, ooh, Winds of Eve"
''The Message" and Tell Him I Love
Him Yet" The arrangement was spe-
cially happy for carrying out the
theme, which lost nothing in Miss Keys
treatment. This concluded part one
The second part opened with trio
in D minor by Mendelssohn played by
Mr.. Kanrich, Mr.. Van Vliet and the
pianola, at which Mr.. Reed presided.
The statement regarding the pianola is
made advisedy. as the instrument lit
orally played the music faultlessly.
Miss Key offered Otto Cantor's Lin
cite" and 1.-THE Butterfly by C. Man
on-Marks, and thereby added to the
fine impression she had made.
Moskowskis Valse, Op. "a, was the
last selection of the afternoon. 1t was
given by the pianola, at which Mr. Reed
again presided.

Given by Pupils Of Dessauer-Troost-
wyk School of Music.


Given by Pupils Of Dessauer-T roost-
wyk School of Music.
The juvenile recital given by the pu-
pills of the Dessauer-T roostwyk School
of Music in Republican hall yesterday
afternoon was very largely attended
and was very successful event. The
violin playing was Of high degree Of
excellence and the selections on the
piano were none the less so. The show
ing made was very fiattering to both
Mr. Dessauer and Mr.. Troostwyk.
The hall was filled by the parents
and friends of the youthful performers
and the many happy faces in the audi
ence proved how thoroughly all were
pleased with the progress of the pupils.
These recitals are given frequently to
encourage pupils in their efforts to be-
come artists to make them accustomed
in playing before audiences and to show
the general public how much a sys-
tematical instruction can achieve even
with pupils so young in years.
Several of the players showed re-
markable talent already well devel-
oped.
OF the violinists little boy, Maurice
Coffin, about six or seven years old, en-
raptured the audience with his playing
so full of expression. Another one, Car
ryl Asher, also made a good impression
by his correct Interpretation of Dam
cla's Air Varie. Little Hendrika Troost-
wyk again captivated the audience by
her pure intonati ton and clever bowling.
Sylvester Werzburg played quite diff
ficult Fantie II Trovatore in a finished
manner and Grace Mailhouse and
George Plumb also added greatly to the
pleasure Of the listeners.
Among the pianists 1t was William
Frohlich, Ethel Gibbons and Anna Not
kins who showed the results of careful
teaching united with natural talent.
The recital closed with a splendid rem
dering of Motto PeTpetuo executed
by nine violinists.
