On her present visit to this her native
land, she began the season with a series
eff most successful concerts at the Metro
politan Opera House, after which she be-
gan her present tour, going first across
the country, singing in the various cities
en- route, as far as the Pacific coast, where
in her native state. California she re-
ceived a perfect ovation. Her present trip
through the South which she now visits
for the first time began in Atlanta. after
Vhich she went TO St. Augustine, and then
to jacksonville, where she sang Friday
night. During her stay at the Ponce De
Leon IN st. Augustine, Admiral Dewey ar
rived, and they held a joint reception in
the rarlors of the hotel. Such a meeting
between two famous Americans was par
ticularly fitting, for while Dewey achieved
endless fame by lowering the Spanish flag
in the Philippines, Nine Nevada also
achieved her share of applause by uphold
ing the American flag in Spain itself when
in Seville after war had been declared
between the countries, she sang despite
the Kisses of her audience and the
threats of personal violence with which
she was greeted on account of her ma
tionality.

and in England who have seen Mr..
zangwills play, Children of the Ghet-
to-" give the author credit for having
striven honestly and faithfully to strike
a new line which they claim he has sue
cessful1y accomplished. Il is urged that
he has displayed remarkable courage in
putting on the stage realistic pictures of
human habitation; that he has made the
most accurate portrait painting and OBJ

in the development of a plot with an in
tenseyt human basis.
II was Mr.. Zangwills purpose to pre-
sent a chapter of English life as he saw
it; to bring human nature in the finest
and most sensitive point into acute con-
fict with the eternal principles of the Le-
vitical law. IL is asserted that it pos
sesses a holiness that must of necessity
command successful attention. 1t has the
reputation of being a play of individual
ity and nothing that may happen can
rob il of that distinctive mark. Chill

cradle controversy. Dealing as "a does
with a certain feature of the Jewish re-
ligion appertaining to the Mosaic law,
with reference to marriage and divorce

writer's of the Jewish faith have discussed
