Speaking of his experience on THE road"
the manager of an opera company said re-
Gently:
Some of the company's experiences on
It's travels seem amusing in retrospect. al
though they were trying enough at the
time The changes of temperature were
violent occasionally. The most striking in
stance of this kind of discomfort came
when in one western city performance
was given in a large exposition hail. There
were no dressing rooms beyond the COM
partments created by canvas. which divided
part of the cellar into square booths 1t
was cold in this part of the building
that the singers prepared for the opera
wrapped in fur coats and wore these to
the wings. and none of them dared to step
ont of sight of the audience and remain for
a mo ment without some protection. Trunks
were stored outside the building and as a
snow storm had come up during the day
they Were covered with snow when the time
came for the performance. A vale. would
clean the snow from the top of trunk
take out some article of apparel required
aud bring it into the dressing room, only to
have the snow once more cover the trunk.
THE following evenings performance was
given in another large building. In order
to light this properly it was found neces-
sary to put in an elaborate electric plant,
dr sing rooms. 1t was so intensely hot
In these rooms that the perspration poured
from the faces Of the artists and they were
with difficulty able to make the necessary
paint and powder stick.
In Lincoln. however, the most remark
able performance of the entire road season
took place. Faust was to be sung at 2
pm. The train was late and the perform
ai.ce did not begin until $3.50. The baritone
solo in the second act was entirely cut out,
as were also Mephistopheles' serenade and
the entire church scene. BY means Of these
cuts it found possible to end the opera
a little before o'clock, and that WAS nee
essary. as another performance was to be-
cir at 5 o'clock"

Haupfmann Play Fails.
From the Chicago Record

Gerhardt Hauptmann, who Is considered
by many the foremost dramatist in Ger
many, If not in all the world, has met with
another failure. Michael Kramer a new
four-act play by him. was produced in Ber-
lin and was received even more coldly than
the play he had produced last winter. The
scenes are laid in the house of a painter
whose son becomes engaged to a waitress
in beer garden. When she throws him
over for another man he kills himself, and
the greater part of the final act is given
up to the fathers lengthy funeral Grafton.
TO which the author has apparently devoted
most OF his literary skill and philosophy
Naturally the play is very depressing.

SOUSA'S BANDIT was no small UNDER

success achieved by sousa on the eonti-

remarkable. The result was a vindication
Of Sousa's pet theory that human nature
even in music Is the same the world over
for he soon found that his foreign audi
ences liked the very same kind of musical
pabulum that finds greatest favor with his
American listeners. The dash and verve of
American music in general and the swing
and spirit Of the Sousa marches In partic-
ular appealed to. them strongly The
character OF the Sousa concerts was very
different from the accepted ideas. but the
audiences took very kindly to the Sousa en-
cores cores and , the constant constant sue OF
