music at Yale University, and composer of
one Of the works to be rendered, and four
soloists, two of whom are among the most
distinguished on the concert stage today,

quartet, of which Miss Walters, contralto,
and Mr.. Edward p. Johnson, tenor, are the
other members, is exclusively American.
Nine. Blauvelt and Mr. Bispham have
achieved equal distinction in England as in
the United States, and they are today lead
ing representative of what America can do
in the production of singers.
The chorus has been rehearsed with great
assiduity, and may be depended upon to do
it's work well.
Prof. Parker visits Washington on Sat
urday and gives a private lecture before
the Friday Morning Music Club on Satur-
day evening. He conducts a rehearsal of

The Spenders.

Mr.. Crane will come to the New National
Theater on Monday night, when he will be
seen in THE Spenders," the adaptation of
Wilson's novel, which he has been using
all season. AS is to be imagined by those
familiar with the book, the part played by
the genial comedian is that of old Peter
Bines. the Montana miner. 1t was owing
to the strength of this character that the
novel was selected for transmission into
play shape. The part in Mr. Cranes keep
ing that of old Bines, Ia a fine specimen of
the western man. He Is not ideal, by any
manner of means. He Is honest upright,
energetic and has known what it was to
tramp the hills hungry and cold. Wealth,
when 1t came, could not change him. He
quickly found that he could not be idle and
happy at the same time, so he continued
to work. There are two love stories rum
ming through the play. Prominent in the
cast are Lucille Flayen, Marion johnson.
Ida Mcmillan, Anne Caverly, Marie Bing-
ham, George s. Spencer, John Flood, Chas.
Crawford and Samuel Reed.

T q E THEAT E R.
"Barber Of Seville. .

An increased attendance greeted the
Metropolitan Opera Company last night.
and the presentation of Rossni's richly
melodious Barber OF Seville" was a de-
light to every one present. The cast was
notable one. including Marcella Sem
brich as Rosina, DIPPED as Count Alma
riva, Campanari as Figaro Gourmet as Ba-
silio, Rossi as DR.. Bartolo and Bauermeis-
ter as Berta, and all entered thoroughly
into the spirit Of the comedy, and sang
and acted with artistic effect. Sembrich's
mellifuous voice found splendid scope in
the horld music OF the soprano role, and
her singing was delight in every num-
Der. OF course, the climax came in the
music lesson scene, when she sang the
ham Strauss. in such manner as to elicit
the greatest enthusiasm. The applause
was so prolonged that it brought to mind
the scene created by the same singer In
the same theater twenty years ago, when
she first appeared here as young woman
and sang Lucia.
That was an incident that will never be
forgotten by those who witnessed 1t. Men
kerchiefs and tore of their corsage bou-
quets and flung them at the singers rect,
and even the members of the orchestra
Joined in the applause, waving their Vlo-
Inns and other instruments In their WHO en-,
thusiasm. It was an off night of the Patti
season and a new singer was announced
for the title role in Lucia di Lammer-
moor" Her youth, her loneliness and the
purity and fexibility of her voice attracted
attention from her very entrance, and when
she sang the mad scene, the tones OF her
voice being hardly distinguishable from the
flute in the brilliant cadenza, then the
scene occurred. The element OF surprise
was, Of course, lacking In last nights en-
thusiasm. Sembrich is now recognized as
one of the greatest singers Of the age. The
necessity of making method take the place
of natural power, which comes at one time
or another to all singers, Is not so ap-
parent in opera as 1t is in song. Her first
encore song last night was the well-known
"Al non Giungi," from "Sonnambula," and
at its conclusion, as the applause still con-
tinued in nearly great intensity, she sat
down to the piano and gave a song by
Chopin with exquisite effect, playing her
own accompaniment.
Next to Sembrich the honors fell to Cam
song in the first act was enthusiastically
received, and all through the opera his in
depreciation of the music was artistic Dip
pei displayed his versatility in the role of
the Count, and sang and acted with true
spirit. Gourmet as the music teacher was
good comedian, and his voice was heard
with fine effect. The same Is true of the
DR.. Bartolo of Rossi. Bauermeister made
what she could of Berta, and In her aria in
the last act sang effectively. What little
the chorus had to do was well done, and
between orchestra and singer were speedily
adjusted. The performance in it's entirety
was promise realized, happy working out
to an artistic conclusion, which was scarcely
more than suggested by the initial perform
ance of the series.

his room, where she discovered his body on
the floor. A neighbor was summoned, and
Bicycle Policeman Mullen was also called
to the house.

tragedy he sent Detective Hartigan to the
house to make an investigation. This re-

was able to tell of her husbands troubles
and of the finding of his body. 1t was said
to the police and detective that Mr.. Moran
had been depressed for a long time because
he had been unable to find employment. At
the time he was in business on 18th street
several years ago he was one of the best
known local merchants. His means it is
