much dramatic warmth of color. Her magnetic stage presence is very effective as Marguerite, Mimi and other leading roles.
 Florence Easton is a coloratura soprano who sings the pretty role of Gilda in "Rigoletto," Melba's and Sembrichs fla vorite, as well as Marguerite in Faust Musetta in La Boheme" and others. Her voice is so brilliant, flute-like and sym pathetic that Miss Easton has become one of the recognized favorites with the com pany. Before returning to America Miss Easton was leading soprano for two sea sons with the Moody Manners English Grand Opera company at Covent Garden.
 Millicent Brennan Is young Canadian prima donna who studied in Paris with Edward Hayes and Madame Rose Caron, now at the Paris Conservatoire. She sang with Sir Alexander Mckenzie dur ing his Canadian festival tour in 1903, but her American operatic experience be- gan with MT Savage, Her cultured lyric soprano makes her a favorite Elsa in "Lohengrin" and Musetta in La Bo- heme" Miss Brennan also sings in '"The Valkyrie.
 Among the new male singers will be noted Francis Maclennan. the robust tenor who sang Parsifal last season; and also Ottley Cranston and Robert Kent Parker the two excellent passes of the sPalsifal' company.
 Old favortes still with the grand opera company are William Wegener the Wagnerian tenor, and Joseph Sheehan, with his golden top notes; Winfred Goif, the well known baritone. who also acts this season as MT. SaVage's technical stage director: also baritones Arthur Deane and Thomas Richards; basso liar rison Bennett Gertrude Rennyson. whose sweet soprano charmed local musical low CTS last year. and Rita Newman, the mezzo soprano, who made her debut with MT. Savage two years ago, and who sings Brunnhilde in "rhe Nalkyrie" and other important roles.
 All told, there will be over score of prima donnas. tenors. baritones ana hasses with the company when it reaches this city together with an augmented choral body and orchestra.

 Paul Armstrong, author of '"The Heir to the Hoorah," is the only actress who has ever played "Giaconda" in English, and outside of Duse is the only actress who has ever played it in America. Miss Roberts is today probably one of the most popular emotional actresses on the Pacific coast. where she gained considerable prestige during the past four years in the title role of "Zaza,' "Magda," Camille" and other notable plays. In the title part of Ann LaMont," Miss Roberts has, 1t Is said, an admirable opportunity to run the full gamut of human emotions.
 Little Johnny Jones'" the musical play by George NJ Conan which is booked for an early performance in this city is de- scribed as one of the fastest and swiftest comedies ever set to music by this young author. It is so different from the ma jority of it's kind and so original in it's construction that all New York last sea- son poured en masse to see it. Its phe- nomenal run in that city for twenty-six weeks and all the past summer in Chi cago, has given it great prestige.
 In this holiday time, when the mince pie spreads fragant odors in the land 'The Isle of Spice'' Is a reasonable show This comic opera, or musical comedy, made Manhattan laugh for many weeks The explanation is simple: through the piece has no striking story to tell. it has much music calculated to tickle the ears; the comedians have lot of fun of their own, and the stage manager has evolved decidedly novel effects. The last men tioned point of attraction is strongest in the work of the young women of the chorus in three songs. Peggy Brady sung by Miss Leslie Leigh, ''rhe Broom stick Witches sung by Miss Lillian German and "'rhe Goo Goo Man" sung by Sam Mylie. Many of the girls and many of the principals of the original company are still giving their grace and talents to "The Isle of Spice"

 her most notable success being at the Stadt theatre in Halle and at the Royal opera at Wiesbaden. Her voice is a rich mezzo-soprano and she is cast for inn portant roles in the entire repertory of the company. Miss Crawford has spent most of her professional life abroad, but laid the foundation for her powerful voice during study with Reinhold Herman when he was teacher in Boston, later taking up dramatic art under Theodore Habemann in Dresden.
 Claude Albright, the mezzo- soprano who scored a success last season as Kundry another popular prima donna with the English Grand Opera She is one of the few American girls that have sung at the Opera Comique in Paris. Gifted with beauty and magnetism, Miss Albright has enjoyed unusual stage experience for one so young. She has sung in half dozen Savage companies. her roles ranging from the piquant Peggy in George Ades Peggy from Paris to the heaviest grand opera parts. Last season she was signed by Herr Conried for the Metropolitan, but before her New York debut was again engaged by Manager Savage for 'Parsi- fal' and was transferred with the other stars from that company to the savage Opera company this year.

Grand Opera Song Birds.

Several delightful vocal surprises are anticipated in the new personnel of the Savage English Grand Opera company when 1t cones to the Jefferson theatre December 27, Mr. Savage has introduced more native singers in grand opera than all other impresarios in this country. This year his Engish-singing forces em- brace not only the favorites of former years, but many new voices Several of these are appearing in America for the first time Music lovers are especially in- terested in the new prima donnas among whom may be mentioned, Florence Eas- ton, Claude Albright, Margaret Crawford.

plexion of a man used to being out a great deal in the open air. The success of the play presages a very long life for 1t. and much of it's favor is obtained through the capital characterization that 1t con- tains. All the preparatory work on the play was of the most thorough kind and everything that could aid it was given in an unstinted manner.
 There are three acts in David Harum," and all of it's scenes are laid in Home vile, New York. The play Is clever and remarkable dramatization of the book and retains everything that had any value in the story. The horse trade in the open ing act is described as being one of the best and most humorous scenes ever un- folded in a purely American play. An other diverting scene, and one that wins curtain call after call, shows Deacon Perkins belaboring the balky horse while the rain comes down on him in torrents
 The play contains no wronged heroine No dark -moustached villain to go hissing through the story. It's story Of Ameri- can life The story of a man whose char acter contains the sterling elements that build up the fabric of our institution. To see the play is to be entertained by the charming skill of author who wrote of the kindly things he saw in life and gave his auditors the best that was in him. David Harum" is successful be- cause 1t is a clean, wholesome drama and there can be no doubt that the pup lies appetite demands the more whole some thing in the drama Harry Brown has as many artistic successes to his credit probably as any other contempor- ary comedian. MT. Brown has been with the finest organizations known to the history of American theatricals. He started with Booth, enjoyed association with Charles Fletcher, John McCaul, the famous Hoo1ey company was member of the McVicker Stock company, was a prominent figure with the Bostonians and was stage manager at the Baldwin thea ire in San Francisco for years.

 Julius Cahn's company appear in the production with MT. Harry Brown as David Harum." In making up for the role MT. Brown devoted great deal of study to the mans appearance. The result is that the actor is entirely lost sight of when he steps before the foot lights. It is "Harum' that is seen the stout medium-sized. shrewd chap with the cunning, yet kindly eye and the mouth that is so expressive. Brown makes Harum more or less bald with a thick fringe of reddish hair meeting his old fashioned runahout collar. There is the wart on his cheek and the ruddy com
