"DAS SUISSE. MAEDEL."

southward the tide of musical comedy takes its
way. till even the Irving Place Theatre has at

produced at that house musical comedy, called
'Das Suesse MddeI.' written by Landsberg and
Leo Stein, with music by Heinrich Reinhardt and
played by the Ferenczy Opera Company. of Berlin

OBJECT TO SUNDAY USE OF SCHOOLS.
Eew-York Presbytery to Protest to Board Of
Education Against Sabbath Lectures.

The question Of the use of the public schools for
Sunday lectures came before the New-York Pres
tytery at its meeting in the chapel Of Old First
Church yesterday. A committee appointed some
weeks ago reported that after consulting with
pther religious bodies IT unanimously concurred In
q protest against the use of the schools for such
purposes and recommended that the schools be
not used on Sunday. Colonel A P. Ketcham was
appointed to present memorial on the subject TO
the Board of Education The memorial, II IL said,
pilI he presented in about q week.
A standing rule was framed requiring trustees of
churches IN the Presbytery to obtain permission
from the Presbytery before mnrtgaging the
churches The committee to which the subject Of
selling the West Fifty-frst Street Presbyterian
Church referred reported that the congrega-
ion concurred in the pur of the Presbytery 10

MUSIC.
"Don Giouanni" at the Opera,

Aozarts masterpiece Don Giovanni" with IA
nfiiar people in familiar parts, entertained nne
audience at the Metropolitan Opera House last
night. There could be no delightful task than
to discuss some feature In the performance OF
this work. which is as like miracle to-day as 1t
was century ago. The possibilities OF change are
many. but they have never concerned anybody e4-

standard of excellence will change but Mozart is
perennial in his freshness and beauty. and long
after all the traditions of beautiful singing are lost
humanity will still fnd beauty in his melodies and
wonder at his dramatic effects. which will some
day appear all the thrilling because OF their
simplicity Last night the ''Trema, trema"' of the
ballroom sent the thrills through the
listeners that in fancy loosened the heart hbres OF
the original audience in Prague.
The honors CT last nights representation were
easily carrteG of by Mr.. Scott, gallant, gracetu
Don, properly apprecatve of the old manner, with
q G1ihness of tongue which. in the champagne song
and the dry recitations. contrasted most admirably
with the humorous lumpishness of Edouard de

sttton fitted him to perfection. The ladies were

were not illustrated with particular brililancy
