FOR THE BOSTON SYM
 PHONY CONCERT.

Sixteen hundred tickets for the Bos- ton Symphony concert on Monday even ing, April ?, are now in the hands of the public school teachers. Hundreds have already been purchased. An &C., tive canvass of the city is now going on. This concert of the orchestra will be the most notable musical event of the year.
 The fact that this event is yet six weeks distant is not retarding the sale of tickets. It will be the part of wis dom for admirers of the orchestra to secure advance tickets of the teachers, all of whom are acting as agents. Out of town people who attended the Hart ford performance two weeks ago have made application for seats at the New Haven performance. The desire to hear this superb organization is so general that the committee may find it impos- sble to place tickets on public sale. The scale of prices is $2, $1.5O and $1.

AMNSeMeNtS
Francesca da Rimini."

That romance is not dead-that is, on the stage-even In practical town like Birmingham, was evidenced last night by the liberal applause which greeted Otis Skinner in his presentation of Francesca da Rimini" at the Jefferson Theatre. MT. Skinner received several curtain calls and undoubtedly pleased his audience.
 In the present age red lights soft music dangers and other features of the roman tic school of acting are perhaps not to be taken seriously, except as something rare which does not exist off the stage MT. Skinner is undoubtedly an excellent ex- ample of the romantic school and does not mouth or rant any more than is necessary, and on the whole is quite mod est and unobtrusive-that Is there are a great many things which it Is permissible for a romantic actor to do which MT. Skinner kindly omts.
 The story of the play is the marriage of Francesca, the beautiful daughter of Guido. Lord of Ravenna, to Lanciotto, a deformed but brave and chivalric son of Malatesta, Lord of Remini. The mar riage is for seasons of state, and the bride, caring nothing for her husband, eventually falls in love with Guido, his handsome brother.
 Marchia Van Dresser. who takes the part of Francesca, has a lovely face and pleasing stage presence. Her voice is soothing and melodious and altogether she is quite fascinating enough to turn the head of younger brother If the original Francesca was as good looking the tragic ending of the play, supposing it to be true, would be probable. This romance, as all properly constructed TO- mances should ends in tragedy. This is quite correct from an artistic standpoint and serves people right who instead of being practical go about looking for nance. The safest way, as the moral of this play teaches, to obtain romance is to buy a comfortable seat in a thea tre and take it in small doses.
 William Norris. as the jester, received a curtain call after the fifth act. He con ceived and acted well difficult part and was the only one on the stage besides the two principals who seemed to know much about the noble art of acting.

MANY DON'T KNOW Lack of Right Food Is the Cause of
 Sickness.

It is hardly fair to blame the doctor for not curing his patient when the patient attempts to live on food that furnishes the wrong kind of nourishment When sickness comes on it Is pretty good sign that the food is not keeping the body up. There are thousands of cases where change in food alone has brought the sick one out into a prime condition of health.
 As an illustration. A lady in River side Cal. says: After ten years of ser vice as a teacher during which time suffered three or four, attacks of La Grippe, I finally found myself a physical wreck. Medical treatment would help my strength and vitality temporarily but I would always go back
 Husband and I moved to California in the hopes that this genial cline would re- store me. I got better for a little while but in a few months became so weak and debilitated that we were in despair.

Lewis Morrison In a New Production
 of Faust"

The effects obtained by the skillful use make impressive many scenes in modern plays can be exemplitied and proven in the forthcoming production of Lewis Nor risons new Faust" in which Lewis Mor- rison himself appears as Mephisto, at the Jefferson Theatre next Monday, mati- nee and night. Fire, lightning, clouds and sunset effects are manipulated throughout the play by electrical agency through stereopticons, calciums. kaleidoscopes, olivettes or open box lights, shaded and varied by electricians. The peaceful at mosphere of Marguerite's home and gar den, the casting of the shadows of Nurembergs Cathedral athwart the gar den as the sky grows radiant with the setting sun. and the luminous after glow electricians skill. The dramatic work of Faust. Margurite and Mephisto gains added value and effect from the ever changing lights. As tle curtain descends Mephisto stands silhouetted against a star-lit Armament in the soft moonlight. The Brocken scene. the new prologue and the apothosis are all subjected to varying light and shade effects. The scenery for the whole production Is fresh from the New York studi ! a:d r' no time has Faust" been so elaborately produced. The chief interest however, will be centered in the appearance of Lewis Morrison in the part of Mephisto.

It was expected that the committee on legislation would report the ship sub sidy biil at the meeting of the Commercial Club yesterday afternoon. but Judge J. J. Banks, chairm an of the committee, stated that on account of press of business he had been unable to give the subject the serious consideration 1t demanded, and asked that his committee be given further time.
 Some discussion was had as to the ad- visibility of postponing action in this matter the principle reason advanced be- ing that by the time the club had its next meeting the fate of the bill would al- ready have been decided. It was decided finally. upon motion of MT. Estes, that the committee be given further time and that notice be given of the fact that the subsidy bill would be discussed and acted on at the next meeting.

Gibson made statement to the club regarding the Alabama exhibit at the St Louis Exposition.

 i It is expected that the next meeting of the club will be an unusually interesting l one. as matters of importance will be acted on. including the ship subsidy bill and the resolution of MT. London relat- ] ing to the change in the election of of ficers.

usual artistic manner, and every number of the score was applauded.
 M. Pas. the tenor. was quite a dra- matc Don Jose. and sang the score with eonsummate art. He was frequently ap- plauded during the evening.
 MT. Yilette showed in his impersona- ton of the role of Escamllo that an artis tic temperament always asserts itself whatever be the part it is called upon to fill. Imposing stage presence, distin- gulshed. graceful manners. intelligent dic- ton and expressive delivery are MT. Vii- lettes characteristics He displayed them in this part as he does in all others Of course. the aToreador' song was enthusi- astieally reeeived''
 Of these same artists the Daily News said
 Carmen" is a popular opera In New Orleans; in fact, it is popular everywhere, especially when given by such a very capable aggregation of singers, and 1t is not surprising that the attendance last night was so large and apprecative. Mime. Rachel Laya was the Carmen, and so impassioned and vigorous was her interpretation of the role that the audience moved as one person. gave her an ovation that she may justly feel proud of. M. Pazs pleasing tenor was heard to great advantage in the part of Don Jose and he seemed to put in his work the feeling and spirit of the true artist. M. Vilette was in excellent voice as Escamillio, and his "Toreador" song received the generous applause 1t richly merited.
 The Times Dem ocrat said: Success is showering thickly upon Mime. Rachel Lava, dugazon and divette of the French Opera Company. Saturday her Carmen was a triumph"
 The above is of interest here because the artists named will all be heard this afternoon in Carmen
