Cleveland received Mrs. Chadwick

w. H. RoTHwELL. MUSICIAN.

Walter H. Rothwell, one of the con-
ductors engaged by Henry w. Savage
for his production of "ParSifal," arrived
in New York recently. Although he
was born in London, Mr.. Rothwen was
educated at Vienna, where he entered
the Royal Conservatory of Music at the
age of ten. He devoted himself prin-
cipally to the piano and the theory of
music. Six years later he won the first
prize for piano composition and the his
tory of music as well the gold medal
of the Society of the Friends of Music.
Mr.. Rothwell studied the piano with
Professor Epstein and composition with
Robert Fuchs for four years more with
the intention of devoting himself to the
concert stage.
In 1895 he was engaged by Herr Pol
lini of the Stadt theater in Hamburg as
chorus director and assistant conductor,
where he worked under Gustav Mailer,
the present general director and con-
ductor of the Royal Opera House at vi
emma. For the past two years Mr..
Rothwell has been the principal con-
ductor as we'll as the artistic manager
of the Netherlands royal opera at Am
sterdam. He rehearsed the artists en-
gagged by Mr.. Savage in Berlin and at
tended the first performance of Par
sifaP' at Baireuth this season before
sailing for America.

will present a roster of very strong
names. William H. Post has been re-
engaged as his stage manager.
Mr.. Goodwin is very enthusiastic over
his new play. The scenes are laid part
~ in America and partly in England.
Maxine Elliott, his wife. after reading
the manuscript, wrote him that had this
piece fallen into their hands a year
earlier she would not have ventured on
her Independent starring tour, as there
are roles in it exactly fitting each OF
them. The difficulty of securing plays
with parts of equal Importance was
what caused their professional separa-
ton.
Mr. Goodwin passed a part of the
summer at Ostend, with occasional Wis

sartoriaI embellishments for the new
piece, the women characters in which
will wear some magnificent gowns.

Young Corbett and his manager, Har-

mer has repudiated his agreement with
Jimmy Britt not to fight any one until
they meet in the ring again next De-
cember. Corbett gives as his excuse
that he is after the money and cannot
afford to be idle until the time he is
scheduled to fight Britt. Speaking in
extenua ton of his action the other day,
he said:
ct know Pollok made that agreement
for me with Britt but it would be fool
ish of me to be idle the rest of the year
when 1 can go out and get the money,
and if l am beaten then Britt can fight

The truth of the matter is that Neil
is too light at present for the feather

warrant his tackling men of the build

his strength is not sufficient to enable

Corbett is forced to break his agree
ment with Britt because he needs the
money, and there is no other way of
getting it. Being an ex-champion, he
is no longer an attraction on the vaude-
vile stage and he must don the mitts
again if he hopes to pay his bills, which
he has always done. 1t can be said in
his favor that he has taken the best Of
care of himself since his defeat.
Britt's victory had a SOLDERING tend
ency, which is not always the case with
defeated champions, who often go to-
pieces when once their victorious ca
reer receives a setback. Corbett has
held his head and is confidently looking
ahead to the time when he will do
something no other fighter ever did,
and that is to win back a championship.
