AIETROPOLITAN-"The Sultan

Sulu."
THE Sultan of Sulu," comic opera
by George AIDE, the author of the
famous Fables in Slang" with music
by Alfred Wathall. professor of mu-
sic in Northwestern university, will
be seen at the Metropolitan for five
performances, beginning tomorrow
night. The full New York cast re-
mains intact. and critics say that the
production has improved with age.
The singing Of a chorus of pretty
girls Is one of the strong features, and
the ranks of the choristers have been
augmented by trained voices this sea-
son.
The book by AIDE Is particularly
good-some say it Is the best offered
on the comic opera stage since the
days of the original productions Of
Robin Hood" and "Ermine." 1t is
refined In its humor. Wathalrs mu-
sic is Of the light, catchy kind that
pleases the majority of comic opera
lovers.
The plot can be discovered without
the aid Of telescope and understood
without the aid of a portable black
board and a diagram. It does not
flag at any stage of the play, and
there Is just enough of romance in 1t
TO give IL a raVor The political con-
ditions following the purchase by the
United States Of the little island Of
Sulu, or Jolo. in the Philippines, have
furnished AIDE with material that he
has not overlooked. The authors
newspaper training aided him mate
rally in the construction of the play,
and he has wisely avoided an attempt
to show what happened as a result of
our acquisition of this faraway is
land, and has confined himself to an
effort to show In a series Of witty,

educated to perform his respective
work merely at the snap of a whip
and by kindness.
In all, over $50 birds and beasts will
be on view. There are no dummies in
the lot; all have passed thru Mr.,
taught variety Of really wonderful
tricks. No man has ever done so
much with jungle pupils. Hagenbeck
has lions and tigers fresh from the
w1lds of Africa and India that sit U.o
and beg for pieces of raw meat held
IN the naked hands Of the trainer;
polar bears from the northern ice
foes that perform the most compli-
Gated tricks; leopards that do aero
batic stunts; and seals that juggle and
balance balls and batons. Goats that
play musical instruments, birds that
count. and pigs that play funny pranks
may also be mentioned.
In one group there are sixteen lions,
tigers, panthers, pumas, bears and big
German boar hounds. All these diff
ferent animals work together in the
same, ring and do the bidding Of their
master. It is not recorded that polar
bears have ever before been trained,
yet Hagenbeck has nine big fellows
that romp about like kittens and dis
play more intelligence. The tiger and
the elephant have under their mas
ter's humane discipline forgotten their
long standing jungle feuds and work
together In most willing fashion.
All Of the acts take place in a huge
steel cage that is covered with a
heavy net, SO that there is no danger
of accidents of any kind. Turnout
there Is apparent an effort to get away
from the hackneyed play dead and
jump thru" kind of show. Various
changes are rung on all of the old eff
fects. Nor has the comedy side Of the
entertainment been neglected. Three
of the acts at least have some excel
lent pantomime that serves to relieve
the nerve tension of the more thrill
ing specialties. ~

The news from Toledo that the roof
OF the cathedral-One Of the master
pieces Of the worlds architecture
has fallen in, and that the whole Of
that famous building Is threatened,
comes with a curious interest follow
ing upon the news from Paris that a
whole story Of the Louvre has just
been discovered underground. But
while the fair Lutetia is thus discov-
ering her great buildings, Venice, and
now Toledo-two. Of the finest cities
Of the world-are threatened with
the loss of theirs. When last year
the famous silhouette of Venice was
robbed OF the Campanile, indolent,
happy-go-lucky Inhabitants OF the
town which SO invites to daydreams
and dolce far niente" were rudely
awakened. In their sudden alarm the
authorities have not only commenced
the reconstruction Of the Campanile
and the repair Of the damage done to
other edifices by its fall, but have
overhauled practically all the old
churches and palazzi.
OF all the buildings on the Grand
canal none is so bewttching in its
glitter Of white marble in roseate
light, none so imposing under its
noble cupola, as Santa Maria della
Salute. On the roof of this church
a crack has been discovered, and the
rain, filtering thru it, was injuring
a painting by Salviati. Repairs were
at once commenced by order of the
architectural committee.
The Campanile Of the fourteenth
century church Of st. Stefano, with
it's elegant brick facade, which
threatened to follow the example of
it's elder and statelier brother, has
been completely surrounded by a
wooden tower in preparation for the
extensive repairs. It is to be strength
ened, but the old form will be re-

tanned. The tower Of st. Giorgio del
Greci, built after 1888 by santo Lom-
bardo and Chiona, has been leaning
for centuries, but lately attention has
been drawn to its threatening condi-
ton. It will probably undergo thoro
examination.
Another church about the safety Of
which serious approximations have been
aroused, Is San francesca della Vigna.
It was ascertafned that the right side
of the church was in danger, and 500
glass standard-marks were applied in
different positions on the walls. Three
Of these were found broken in four
days. Supports have now been placed
in position and the church has been
closed to the public pending repairs.
San Giovanni Paolo, the Frari, and
other churches are likewise in the
hands of the restorers.

Ouida's novel, first published In
