MILLIoNAIRE's POOR STOMACH

The worn out stomach OF the over
fed millionaire is often paraded in the
public prints as horrible example of
the evils attendant on the possession
of great wealth. But millit naires are
not the only ones who are afflicted
with bad stomachs. The proportion
is far greater among the toilers. Dys-
pepsis and indigestion are rampant
among these people, and they suffer
far worse tortures than the millionaire

that the music must be beautiful not
merely light; that the key 10 an opera
is the Hbretto and that if the Iibrettn
is weak or inconsruous the music is
likely to be POOR; that Wagner is no
longer name to brighten children to
bed with, but living, powerful force in
art, a force which was once applied to
musical comedy and which then evolved
the most perfect comic music the world
has ever heard
No one contends, of course, that all
the operas given il this list of substi-
tutes for The Toreador" conform with
these standards But they may all be
preparations for the best of comic op-
eras if they are not themselves entirely
good. Not even Mozart reaches the full
height Of such composition. He lived
too long ago. Modern musical forms
are considerable advance even over
those of GIuck. VINO was the pioneer in
musical development of this sort. But
no educator would ask a half-trained
audience to understand GIuck, Beetho-
ven, CT Wagner at first hearing any
more than he would read to such an au-
dience selections from Burton's "Anat-
omy on Melancholy" or chapters from 3
treatise on Icthyosaurian fossils.
Opera is the most popular form Of
musical entertainment. Comic opera is
the most popular form of opera In opera
the comprehension of music is made
easy to the fullest degree possible by the
help of pictures and words IN comic
opera this comprehension is further aid
ed by paIpable expression Of emotion
and broad humor. But this kind of opera
is manifestly not the highest form Of
music The only opera which is entirely
artistic is that which Beethoven and
Wagner have described and which the
latter aimed to write-a union of music.
poetry. painting. and action ali welded
in the expression of uplifting thought
Even the best comic opera tends lamely
enough toward such ideals. If such
opera is necessary, then let US keep it
to as high a standard as We can.

Mr. Wilson Agrees With Annie Russell
That It Is Harder Than Tragedy.

Those who attended the National The
alter last week and saw Francis Wilson's
performance Of the spurious toreador in
the opera Of that name, would hardly
have recognized the comedian in his
street clothes. This might not be taken
as q high tribute to Mr. Wilson's per-
sonaI appearance, but at least it is a
novelty to those who know him only
across the footlights, and when he bust
led into his dressing room last night. and
greeted a reporter for The Times, il was
a relief 10 note that Mr. Wilson could
wear ''cits" as easily and gracefully as

Mansfeld's Julius Caesar"

Mausheld'S Julius Caesar.
Richard Mansfield last night brought
his New York season in Julius Caesar"
to a close, and today Boston is coming
its Shakespeare in preparation for the
fourteen appearances of Mansfield in that
city during the approaching fortnight.
There is something remarkable about
the popularity of this tragedy as seen in
this revival. Before taking it TO New
York in the autumn Mansfield played it
in the West to almost incredible figures.
Seven appearances brought nearly $50 900
every week, and in two instances (Chica-
90 and St. Louis) more than that. His
theater in New York was not large
enough to permit the receipts to ap-
proach those figures, but it is authorita-
lively stated that Julius Caesar did
not once fail to I'LL every seat.
Mansfield has enjoyed a four-foId tri-
umph: In his Characterization of Bru-
tus; in the marvellous realism OF the
mobs. especially in the riots over dead
Caesars body in the Forum; in his
splendid company, and in the gorgeous

Thomas a Wise. who viii be at the

You a Mason 90 is an enthusiast over
golf and pins-pong. The other after
noon, he was chatting with a newspaper
man and golf was mentioned. Instantly
he was on the alert.
What know about the theory Of
golf playing would ill = good-sized book.
and what I do not know OF actual exc
cution would fill great many more,
Still that does not deter me from play
ing whenever I get a chance.
Il think the most delightful game I
ever had was last year in Colorado. Tbs
engine OF our train broke down and for
four hours we were kept on the prairie,
but 1t was the most ideal spot for golf
links have ever seen. The ground was
as smooth as any English turf, there
was a stream running just near the rail-
road track, which made a splendid
hazard, and our best bunker was the
train itself. Inside half an hour We had
laid out a six-hole course. I pointed out
the places for the putting green's, and
We dug little holes. also using walking
sticks with handkerchiefs tied to them
for flags.
John Rice and Edward Abeles PLAYED
George Richards and myself. and I dent
think that Yardon or Hilton ever had
a more excited or interested gallery.
No one paid any attention to the broken
down engine. even the engineer and the
train crew gave US Sd much of their at
tention that it took them twice the time

excitement occurred each time we'd
start TO drive over the train. when there
was a general duckiEg Of heads and a
desire to give Us the whole prairie 10

windows and caused a matronIy old lady
