Her Apparent Fitness

1t is told of an observing theatrical
manager that on one occasion he proved
fully equal to the stage aspirant prob
lem, says the Chicago Inter Ocean.
A young woman of that class which
the newspapers catalogue as society
women" brought a letter of introduce
tion to a prominent actor manager
which secured for her brief audience
with the man. With one swift glance
he took in the plumed hat, the pretty
inconsequentlal little face thrown into
oblivion by the plumes, the sable cloak
and moleskin gown. the watermelon
muff and stepladder shoes.
Have you ever been in lover" he
demanded.
"Sir-r-r?''
The word ran the gamut from angry
exclamation to dubious Interrogation.
The actor manager repeated the ques-
ton.

But have you ever Ioved?"
'I-don't-know."

OUT OF TOWN MUSICIANS

The March and April numbers of the
New Music Review contain two inter-
esting and valuable articles by Mr..
Samuel Swift on opera in New York,
with complete statistics of the operas
given and the lumber of performances
since the opening of the Metropolitan
in 1883. The tables yield this result:
Wagners Lohengrin'' comes first.
with 131 performances in twenty-five
years; Gounod's Faust a close Sec
ond. with 129; Bizet's Carmen" third.
with "a; Wagner's "Tannhauser"
fourth, with so; Wagner's Die Walk
ure' and Verdfs Aida" sharing fifth
place. with 70 apiece; Mascagnfs
"Cavalleria Rusticana" seventh, with
So; Wagner's Tristan und Isolde"
eighth. with 60 performances; Wagner's
Die Meistersinger" and Meyerbeer's
Les Huguenots" dividing ninth place,
with 81 apiece; Gounod's Romeo ct
Juliette" eleventh, with So, and Wag-
ner's "Siegfried" twelfth, with So.
Richard Wagner thus claims half Of
the twelve most frequently given
operas of the twenty-five years of the
Metropolitan's existence, and these six
had 472 performances to the 4S4 of all
the others in the first group of twelve
works.

In 'HThe Heir to the Hoorah," which
opened its New York engagement at
the Hudson theater on Monday even
ing, there Is constant friction between
Morris, q burly British butler, and
Hush. a diminutive Japanese valet.
The trouble comes to a head In the
second act. when Hush orders Morris
out of the place. Before Morris has
had more than time to look down at his
little opponent and give him sniff of
contempt, the latter has landed with a

jitsu variety, and Morris "obeys or

the smile that won't come off. In the
next act Morris wears, among other
things. a sling and an air of abject
submission.

II is stated that Mr. Theodore Du-

years. The reason given is that he in
tends to devote his time to compost
ton. His predecessor at the Conserva-
toire was Ambrose Thomas. the COM
poser of "Mignon," who lived to the
age of eighty-five. Auber, the previous
occupier OF the post, was close upon
ninety when he passed away.
Those who attended a Brooklyn con-
cert given by Paderewskl recently no
ticed that he did not seem to show
much attachment to a bunch of roses
that was handed to him. There was
a reason for this: The thorns, he after
wards explained, hurt his. fingers. When
someone suggested that perhaps the
girl who gave him the bouquet was a
friend of Rosenthal, he laughed and
replied: mo, she was one OF my
friends. Besides he added, II met
Rosenthal in Paris not long ago. We
had a pleasant time together and are
now good fiends." So this episode
which somewhat resembled the Liszt-

closed.
