"LOHENGRIN" AT THE OPERA.
Nine. Ternine as Elsa and AIr. Kraus As the
Swan knight.

Wagner's "Iohengrin' was the subject Of
the contemplation Of mild-mannered and
small sized audience at the Metropolitan
Opera House last night. The same opera
has been observed this season on two other
occasions, but with not quite the same cast.
It's frequency and that of certain wcl Ks
Of Verdi and Puccini has undoubtedly
been due to the concentration of energies
on the preparations for "Parsifal.' The
comparatively diminutive size of the audi
ence was also due to the numerous repeti-
tions. The subscription, however, is large
enough to make the manager comfortable.
Nine Ternna appeared last night as
Elsa Her voice. it is no pleasure to say.
was in very poor condition, indeed. The
middle tones were veied and the upper
ones strident But her art was as lovely
as it always is, and no doubt most OF her
hearers found her impersonation touching.
Mr.. KTaus, whom emperors forbid to sing
Pdrsifoi, was Lohengrn, the son Of Pdrsfdl
The eminent German tenor was in possession
of his best tones last night and on unusually
good terms with the pitch. In these cir
cumst ances he can. and he did, give most
interesting impersonation OF the swan
knight.
Miss Walker was once more heard as
vigorous and malignant Ortrud, and MIR.
Telramund Miss Walker might fittingly
have betrayed a little more interest in
Lohongrin's fatal prohibition In the first
act. AS for Mr. Van Rooy he delinea ted
the complete stupidity of Teirdmund at
this point with striking success.
Mr.. Bass did some really good singing
as King Henry, and Mr.. Muhlmann did not
as the Herald. The chorus wandered from
the pitch by the banks Of the Scheldt and
elsewhere as it is wont to do. The orches-
ira played well, and Mr.. Motifs tempt
made of all things, especially the prelude,
lingering sweetness long drawn out" OF
course, Mr.. Mottl is an authority on the
modern Interpretation of Wagner, and he
is said to have invented these tempt him.

COMEDY OF THE SALESROOM.
With Dash OF stage Life Thrown In-That's
Clyde F1tch's "(slad OF It."

With Dash OF stage Life Thrown In-Thats
Clyde Fitchs "Glad OF It,"
Cldritd Barter was saleswoman In one
Of the big New York department stores
who went on the stage, and while in the
chorus attracted the attention Of Reginald
Norton, benevolent and very young man,
under whose patronage she rose to the
dizzy heights of star Of her own musical
comedy company To do this she was
obliged to put aside her sweetheart, Mr..
Sueete, the floorwalker, and feign an affec-
tion for Norton which she did not feel.
her plans developed swimmingly until
she learned that the forsaken S,neete had
bestowed his affections upon Connie
Boules, another saleswoman. Then jeal-
ousy and rage possessed her, and were her
undoing or making, as one is pleased to
view the matter, for she won Speete and
Connie won Norton, as was entirely proper.
These incidents took place in the view
Of Clyde Fitch, and by him were trans
ferred to the stage In a four act compost
ton cnlled Glad Of It," which first greeted
New York at the Savoy Theatre last even
ing. Miss Milie James was the good cloak
model who won Norton III. Hassard Short
from Lucille Watson as the adventures.
Edward Abeles was Surete. the floor walker,
and the love AFFAIRS Of these two couples
were worked out in four scenes, one the
cloak department In the shop, one the
stage OF the Savoy during rehearsal, one
the front OF hotel In New Jersey, and the
last the piazza of the same mosquito in
tested spot. To present their details prop
erly a large company. including a number
of competent players, was engaged, and
some OF the incidents were greeted with
applause that indicated pleased audience.
Among those who made especially good
impressions outside OF the principals were
Rosa Cook as a servant, George Mendhsm
as . stagestruck saleswoman, Anita Rothe
as Conaie's friend, Phyllis Rankin a. q
chorus woman, Prince Miller as an elevator
man, John Barrymore as a press agent,
Frank Brownlee as a stage manager, Claire
Winston, Zelda Sears. Fanny Addison Pitt
and Emma Janvier as shoppers and guests
at the New Jersey hotel, and Flonda Petr
and Rosa Marion as aot ressee. The cast
is large one.
Mr.. Fitch has not spared any Of the origi-
mails from whom his charac,ers are drawn,
and he has included in his play the slang
and local allusion that have always been
popular on Broadway. Some OF tfose
whose arts and crafts are laid bare in the
comedy may not like the hits they receive.
II remains to Be seen whether the public
