A symphony poem by Moreau, the
young French pianist who comes here
with the Emma Nevada Company at
the Worcester Theatre Monday Is hav-
ing quite in vogue with the big Euro
pean Orchestras at present and it is
quite possible that it will be heard in
this country during the present sea-
son. At the London Musical Festival
last May 1t was given by the combined
French and English Orchestras and
was voted the novelty of the festival.
The title of the work Is "Sur la Mer
Lointaine" and the subject illustrated
by the composer is taken from Pierre
Lofts well-known" Pecheurs dIslande :"
Inc music describes gale fol-
lowed by the return of calm weather
during which the fishermen resume
their work and one of them sings an
old Breton song. The opening of the
storm shows the influence of Wagner
on the work of Moreau. It is a mag
nifcent piece of orchestration. in
which bold theme for the trumpets
plays a prominent part Gradually the

and plaintive folk melody is sung by
the corps anglais. A beautiful effect is
realized by the combination of this
song with another theme. The first
melody, rythmically transformed, is
gently murmured by the horns. while
above 1t is heard the second theme
SOFTLY whispered by tahe horns and
cellos. Thus the work peacefully
closes leaving a decidedly favorable
impression.
While touring Europe with Zone Of
the Bravest" Charles MCCARTHY gave
an exhibition utilizing all the latest
devices and contrivances used in the
saving of life, by the New City Fire
department, to an audience of Fire
chiefs of the principal cities. MANY
of the chiefs since then have adopted
some of the methods used and ex-
planned to them by Mr.. Mccarthy.
lone of the Bravest'' is the attraction
at Worcester Theatre next Tuesday
night.
The scenic. the comic and the pathe-
tic are skillfully blended in Lincoln ].
Carter's new play, 1.-TWO Little Waits"
which is the attraction at Lothrops
Opera House this week. 1t takes its
name from two children around whom
the story is woven and who are two of
the principal figures in the play. They
are good singers, vivacious in the
lighter parts of the play, pathetic and
appealing in serious situations.
The stage picture in the opening act
is unusually pretty. 1t is the home
of the children, a villa on the Hudson.
The house is lighted, the porch and
lawn are Illuminated with lines of va
ri-colored electric lights and Japan
csc lanterns among shTubbery and
MOVERS. The shimmering Hudson is in
the background, with lights twinkling
at the foot of the palisades on the OPP
posite shore, and clouds take on a
golden lining from the rays of the
moon gradually rising until it sheds its
light full on the beautiful scene.
The vaudeville bill at the Park Thea
tire this week is by far the best that
has been seen at that house this sea-
son. Every act on the bill is good.
Homer Lind and company in "Gren-
goire, the Street Singer" is a strong
feature. The Carl Damann Troupe do
the most wonderful acrobatic act on
the stage today. Mabel Sisson and May
Stewart in "A Mysterious PilT' are a
great laughing hit. Arthur Buckner,
the sensational cyclist, presents a
novel act. The great American Bio
graph presents ten new pictures in
Guiding Carrie and her little hatchet, ;"
and the Ferraris Hill and Whitaker
and Deane's Marionettes are seen TO
advantage. Daily matinees are given
Tomorrow night Homer Lind will sing
as a prelude to Grengoire," the pre-
lude to "Pagliacci."
