They wonder whether they are married or

and how they came to adopt a stage career.
whether they ever had the measles, and
whether their vaccination took.

De Reszke and the Metropolitan Or

The first appearance in concert OF Ed
Guard de Reszke and the entire Metropo-
Titan Opera House orchestra will occur at
Chase's Theater on Friday afternoon, May
1, at 2:15. De Reszke has taken SO many
roles during the past few seasons at the
Metropolitan Opera House that it is diff
cult to mention any one as his especial
favorite He has enjoyed many honors and
was chosen by Gounod to play the part
of Mephistopheles at the five hundredth
performance of Faust at the Paris Opera
in 1888. The Metropolitan Opera House
orchestra is one of the finest instrumental
bodies in the world. When Anton Seidl
was at it's head he improved the brasses.
Later Emil Paur overhauled the wood
winds and more recently still Signor Man
cinelli improved the strings. Now comes
Duss, who readjusts each department. Seats
are on sale at T. Arthur Smiths agency.

The new spectacular extravaganza, THE

among next seasons attractions, the piece
being presented to the public for the first
time in New York early next fall The cast
will be made up of great array of celeb
rites and will almost equal a star cast.
It is expected that Weber & Fields who
will control several theaters next season
will shortly announce the name of new
female star they have engaged for a series
of years and for whom they have promised
production equal to those of the Belasco
sort. They will not give out the woman's
name until all arrangements have been
completed.
Charles Dillingham;, who controls THE
Little Princess" is somewhat cast down by
the fact that he cannot get into New York
again with this piece, which was a great
success when taken to Boston. All the the

scenery necessary for the production. Next
season an additional set of scenery will be
built, one of which will be sent ahead and
set up Sunday, so as not to lose Monday
night.
Managers Rush & Weber completed a
unique deal during the week. They have
signed Jacob Adler. the Jewish tragedian
from the New York Bowery, and are to
send him on the road next season in 1.-The
Merchant of Venice" Mr.. Adler has SO
far confined his work to New York The
venture should prove something of a sensa-
ton, as the tragedian will speak Yiddish,
while his support will stick to the English
language.
