 The Talk of the Town.
 Sufficient 1t is to state that Mime. Heink is the talk of the town. Her magnificent voice and undeniable dra- matfc fervor enable her to give even the jaded metropolitan theatrical ap- petites q stimuIant that inspires one to cry Justify for more"
 Julian Edwards has written songs for rMtne. llHeink that appeal directly to the heart and soul of the true music lover. I can truthfully state that the programme has not single number that disappoints. Tn no instance do either songs or singers fail to please.
 But the libretto, written by Stanis- lausl Stange, is lacking In strength and falls short of the merits of the music It seems pity that the production is not well rounded out'a with a story possessing some few evidences of CO., hesiveness and of effective develop ment.
 However, we can forgive the short comings of the story because of the delightful melodies, sparkling and gem like, that occur with saving frequency.
 Mime. Heink's Excellent support.

 Mime. Heink's Operatic Debut.
 Just year ago Mime. Heink celebrat- ed the twenty-fifth anniversary of her operatic debut. As 8 girl of sixteen she appeared in opera for the first time, singing the part of Azucena in 'Tl Trovatore'' at the Royal Opera in Dresden under the name of Ernstine Roessler. She celebrated the anniver- sary by singing with the Hamburg Philharmonic society.
 AS a student Mme Schumann-Heink was very conscientious and ambitious. It was her ambition which made her ap- ply for the position of contralto at the Dresden Opera House when she heard that one was needed, and she was com. pelled to compete with more experienc- ed artists for the position, but, her voice and work brought her the engage ment Her appointment to this impor. tant position at such an age created unusual comment throughout Germa. ny besides the bitter opposition of her father, who was an officer of high rank in the Austrian army.

"The Genius" was it's title, and a prominent New York critic wrote of 1t as follows:
 Charles Richman seems to have lighted upon an excellent comedy in The Genius. The piece, which was successfully produced at the Grand theater, Pittsburg, last week, is soci- ety comedy, the action transpiring in New York. It was written by William c. and Cecil De Mile, sons of the late Henry c. De Mile, once well known playwright. MT. Richman has a. con- genial role.
 Interesting Types.
 'The idea of the play is an excellent one Bohemia, the Bohemia of this large, salubrious city, is dissected, es- pecially the Washington square sec tion. For types, local and enjoyable, we are shown German composer, a French painter and an Irish sculptor. The hero, innocent of art, it's dire meanings and consequences, is induct- ed in it's mysteries by the three guards men alluded to, and from desperately loving young woman with the terri DlC dI LlSllC @ClADCIdAOAL AC AS lS4 lO see the sham and folly of the game, loses his heart to model and finally marries her."
 A College Bred Indian.
 MT. Edeson's new play depicts the career of an Indian i'll the process of assimilating college education. As MT. De Mile Is graduate of Columbia university, he should be thoroughly qualified to write an accurate and in teresting play of college life. He also studied in Germany for several years.
 Athletes All.
 Mir. De Miles play shows different phases of athletic life in college, and as both Mr. Edeson and the author are athletes we may be excused in looking for an extremely realistic production. MT. De Mile was prominent as foot ball, baseball and tennis player in Go lumbia, and now he spends much of his spare time in wrestling. He applies the "strangle hold" with all the expert ness of the Japanese jiu jitsu veteran.

 The Acorns and Fourth Ward game was also a very interesting game as both teams were evenly matched. After playing two fifteen-minute halves both teams had failed to score.
 A clean and nicely contested game of football was witnessed yesterday afternoon at Riverside park, when the Elms and Quakers came together. Both teams are heavy and strong and will very likely make good showing this season. The game was close from the start, the Films scoring but one touchdown. Two fifteen minute halves were played. The officials were: Referee, Heating; umpire, Sheehan; timekeepers, Doran and Hayden.
