DeKoven has returned to the more legitimate, and Mir Smith has really told story in the plot. The very fact that DeKoven and Smith are responsible for Foxy Quiller' insures a delightful evening, and Klaw X Err langer have long held the proud posi- ton of being the most leaborate pro- ducers in the country. which makes 1t certain that scenic inagniiicance and handsome costumes will be exhibited. The idea of packing the thief and his booty in the portmanteau of the illus trious Quiller, and starting that fa- nous detective off from Portsmouth to Corsica to capture his own luggage is one of the cleverest, as we'll as one of the most humorous devices ever em- ployed in comic opera In addition to Jerome Sykes the cast includes Eleanor Kent, Grace Cameron, Lillian Seville, Marion Bent, Almira Forrest, Marie Christie, Julius Steger, Harry Macdo- nough, Adolph Zink, Louis Casavant Arthur r Earnest. and many other favorites.

 Charles Frohman's great production

 Our music lovers will be delighted to hear that Paderewski, the great plan ist will be here on Tuesday night February 4. at the Hyperion This will be his first appearance in America on his return and Paderewsk has special ly selected New Haven for his reap pearance on account of his great sue cess here.
 Amusical critic says Decision Rus Sin's fifth criterion, is another charm of Paderewski's playing. The appear ance of whatever is done is done fear lessly and at once" is the effect which he produced in the highest degree Velocity" Ruskins sixth criterion, is perhaps the most subtle of all, in its application to this artist, ''Of two touches as nearly as possible the same in other respects, the quicker will in- variably be the better" writes the crit c. There will be more evenness grace and variety in the quick one than in the slow one" As q matter of face MT. Paderewski's stroke is peculiar in the velocity with which his finger de- scends upon the key; and the astonish- ing amount of harmonious vibration which lends intoxication to his touch is due to this velocity Tested in this way by criteria devised to measure the highest intellectual qualities of artistic execution, it is seen that MT. PadereW- skis genius has appropriated those very powers Ruskm found irreconeilia- ble in painting, but which when com bined in music carry concert playing to it's highest potency. The secret of his success is the secret of art itself.
