Scene From New Comic Opera at the Metropolitan Tonight

in Boston. which was under the musicianly
direction of Theodore Bendix, who took as
much pride in it as his employer, says the
New York Clipper
On one occasion the manager took UNI

suit to his band of picked musicians 1t
was on the opening night of Richard
Mansfield's production of "a Partisan Ro-
nance" the rehearsal of which Stetson
had not seen.
Those who know the play will rernem-
Der that Baron Chevrial at the end of the
third act, is stricken with apoplexy dur
ing a scene of revelry which is height
ened by music behind the scenes. At this
startling climax to the scene the doctor"
in the play holds UP his hand and i'm
pressively exclaims, Stop the music-the
baron is dead.''
On this occasion Stetson had a vague
impression that this line in some way re-
hected on his orchestra Rushing back
of the scenes in a rage, he called to his
musical director. and in a voice loud
enough to be heard by the whole company
exclaimed:
Hey, Bendix, tomorrow night you and
your men will sit out in front, where the
audience can see you-Mansfield can hire
some musicians of his own to play behind
this scene. Did you hear the line he put
into the close of the scene? He's got
some fool to say, stop the music-ft has
killed the baron!"

1.-THE TWO LITTLE WAITS"

The much heralded melodrama en-
titled "The Two Little Waifs," by
Lincoln J. Carter, will be seen at the
Grand for one week beginning tonight
Juvenile talent figures prominently in
the production.
The story is full Of pathetic interest.
Naturally, the two waits once had a.
luxurious and happy home. That was
before the willy, conniving villain ap-
peared. The latter loved the mother,
and, as usual, he concluded that If he
plunged the mother and her two chill
dren into poverty and disgrace, he
could force her to marry him. He ac-
composites this, but the faithful wife
and mother spurns his affections He
then commits more Villainy in trying
to drag her deeper into misfortune
and sorrow.
The father of the two waits, in the
meantime, has been robbed of his for
tune-by the, villain, of course-and
goes to the Philippines to serve in his
countrys cause. He returns broken in
health and spirit, and is found by the
villain and enticed to a den. Just when
the father is about to be bIotted out
of existence his young son, one of the
waits, appears upon the scene and
rescues him at the last moment. The
plot has many complications, but is
said to be so constructed that a lucid
idea Of events is secured by close at
tention s' -7'
The cast as a whole is said to be
evenly balanced. There are many
scenic effects, together with several
electrical and mechanical devices Sew
eral specialties are introduced at op-
perfume times.

WHEN JOHNNY COMES MARCH
ING HOME"

"A series Of military pictures set to
patriotic music, with a well defined
story of Civil war times, is the result
of the latest effort Of Stanislaus STANCE
and Julian Edwards, the authors of
Dolly Warden" 1t is called when
Johnny Comes Marching Home" and
has been described as the first and only
true American comic opera ever pro-
duced.
1t was welcomed in New York, where
It was played last season to crowded
houses as genuine novelty. Although
the story is interesting and full of
stirring situations, it is, according to
report. the music which has won all
hearts. 1t is said to be of that popular
kind which is at once caught up and
arranged for dancem usic. potpourris
and medleys and played in the hotels
and restaurants most affected by fash
ionable people.
One number, MY Own United
States" has been introduced among the
patriotic songs of the country, and is
being sung in the public schools. When
1t was first sung with unusual fervor
by the entire company on the opening
night at the New York theater the
audience rose and cheered for several
minutes.
Among other numbers in the opera
that have become popular are: Just
@Ae'Ai me NIdu anu De merry, GOOD
Bye Yankees" MY Honeysucl1le Grip
and years Touch Not the Heart" The
gem of the opera, however. is conceded
to be Katie, My Southern Rose"
The quaint dresses OF the time of the
Civil war are reproduced with fidelity,
and most of the time the stage is full
of pretty girls decked out in the frtll
and enormous crinoline hoopskirts Of
a generation ago. The company engag-
ed by F. c. Whitney is reputed to be an
exceptionally good one, while the pro-
duction, as whole, is said to be elab-
crate and highly picturesque.
The company. which includes AL
gernon Aspland, Ned Nye. Gavin Dhu,
George H. De We're, Miss Frances Mer-
ton, Miss Alta Yale and a large chorus,
will be seen at the Metropolitan to-
night for four nights and a matinee
Wednesday.
