Republicans are having fine old fam
ily row in the Tenth Ward. Thomas
Coughlin who was refused nomination
for Boulevard Commissioner, though he
had served out John Rotherham's unex-
pired term when the County Clerk-elect
resigned TO take the more profitable POI
sition Of Deputy Collector Of Customs,
is the storm-centre. Two-thirds of the
Republicans of the ward are mp in arms
against Coughlin, who wants to retain
the ward leadership. Despite Coughlin's
unpopularity. the down town leaders, as
Colonel Dickinson and Collector Fry are
called, are standing by him, because he
stood by them when they needed his
services. Banking on this support,
Goughlin is making it as unpleasant as
possible for his opponents. His reten-
tion as leader, it is said, will disrupt the
Republican organization in the ward, as
several of the most influential members
threaten to resign. Democrats are en-

an hour to be photographed. She came

CIyde FitCh's Playhouse.
Playwright to Have Building in Which
to Rehearse His Plays.

Clyde Fitch has hit upon a novel idea
and one that successful dramatists are
likely to appropriate. One of the ter
rors of putting on a new play in New
York is the inability to secure proper
facilities for rehearsals with scenery and
costumes, the theaters in the metropolis
being used almost constantly day and
night. Ordinarily. managers are com
PEELED to produce their plays out of
town before coming to New York. for
the reason that they are then enabled
to secure the use of a stage for full
dress rehearsals.
Mr.. Fitch demands that companies
appearing in his plays shall rehearse
with scenery for at least two weeks
before production, and that at least six
performances with costumes shall be
given prior 20 the opening night. The
usual thing is that the actors never
see the scenery or wear the costumes
TIL the night before the play Is pre-
sented. MIR. Fitch intends to secure &.
building where he can have his own
stage to be used for rehearsal purposes

Three New Prima Donnas.
Artists Appearing First in America
With Savage Grand Opera Company.

Three new pfima donnas joined the
Savage English grand opera company
this week, and will make their first
American appearance during the week
of October ., when the company opens
its tenth season at the New Montauk,
in Brooklyn. These are Nine Moricara
Serena, from Paris; Margaret Craw-
ford, who sang in 1.-The Ring" operas
in Wiesbaden and at Frankfort-on-
Main, and Florence Pendleton Scar
borough, another American singer who
has just returned from Paris.
Nine. Serena is a native of Paris. and
has been singing in Nice the past two
seasons. She is a dramatic soprano.
with an extensive repertory, and is
known on the Continent as Jean De
Reszke's prize pupil, who made her
debut at the Opera ComiQue in Paris
three years ago.
Miss Crawford is a New York girl,
who spent several years of study in
Germany before she was engaged at the
Royal Opera in Wiesbaden. Her voice
is a dramatic mezzo-soprano, with a
high range, so that she can take such
holes as Ortrud in '.Lohengrin," Am
neris in Aida" or Brunhiide in The
Valkyrie" with equal facility. Miss
Crawford will probably make her Amer
lean debut as Ortrud.
Nine. Scarborough is another New
York girl. a daughter OF the late Rev.
DR.. Pendleton. She sang as a ccntralto
before going abroad to study for grand
opera. but her voice has developed into
a powerful dramatic soprano Nine.
Scarborough completed her studies last
spring, and accepted an offer from Mr..
Savage to return and sing in English
iL preference to signing a three years
contract for the grand opera in Paris.
Other artists to be heard for the first
time with the English grand opera COM
nansy' are Francis Maclennan, tenor,
Ottley Cranston and Robert Kent Park
er, basses, from last years "Parsifai
company; Millicent Brennan, soprano;
Mary Eames Miller, contralto. and AL
fred Best, tenor.
Among the favorites still with the or
ganization are prima donnas. Gertrude
Rennyson and Rita Newman; terors,
William Wegener and Joseph Sheehan.
and baritones. Winfred Con- and Arthur

But today madame was exceedingly
fit, and it was joy supreme to watch
the expressive back of that mother.
Such a contented back broad and a lit
tie bent though 1t was; such an elated
back as the prima donna shook out her
