+" Rigoletto' in English.
Notable Success of Savage Company in
Verdi's Opera.

Henry w. Savage's English grand
opera artists won notable triumph in
New York last week when they ap-
peared in Verdi's "Rigoletto." This
florid Italian masterwork with it's ex-
quisite melodies and powerful dra-
matte story is the chief new produc-
ton in the companys repertory this
year next to The VaIkyrie,' the first
production of which will not go on
until the company reaches Boston
"Rigoletto" gives Joseph Sheehan his
opportunity to introduce the golden
top notes that have made him famous
as Americas nigh c tenor. while Win
fred Gon has a picturesque part in the
title role. where ne is the humpbacked
court Jester. Gertrude Rennyson was
the Gilda. Nine. Melba's favorite role.
and Rita. Newman appeared in fine
voice as Maddalena. The scenic pro-
duction was handsome and the orches-
ira under Conductor Emanuel shared
in the curtain-raising honors at l.-e
close Of the opera.
The tenth season of the English
grand opera company opened Monday
night with a revival of Aida" that
introduced the magnetic Nine. Serena
in the title role. The,new prima donna
was favorite from the start, while
Francis MacLennan. the tenor of last
years "Parsifal'' company. made an
other personal success. During the
week there were performances OF "Lo-
hengrin, 'Tannhauser," Puccinfs La
Boheme," and Faust" all sung with
greater spirit and better ensembles
than this splendid organization has
ever given. The new artists with the
company have turned out 10 be
stronger acquisitions than those OF
former years, giving Mr.. Savage the
best company he has yet shown.
Next week the English singing forces
start on their croSS-continent tour of
more than $4,000 miles with engage
ments in eighty cities. over 150 people
will be carried besides an orchestra o.

New York Newsboy Gave Theater
Party to Hear FRITZ Scheff

Children are special favorites with
Miss FRITZ Scheff. When she was play
ing in New York last winter at the
Broadway Theatre there was one little
rewsy who made a point of greeting
her every night at the stage door as
she entered. OF course, the keen-witted
little newspaper merchant knew that
she was good for ten cents, and possibly
a quarter. Miss Scheff got in the habit
of looking for the little lad every night.
and she would direct her manager to let
him see every opera in which she ap-
peared-
Just before Christmas Miss Scheff
asked the boy what he would like for a
Christmas present, and after a little
hesitation he said he would like to be
able to give his friends. the other
newsies on the street, a theatre party

Christmas Day two rows of the gallery
were set aside, and Miss Scheff's friend
entertained forty of his friends listen

When Miss Scheff sailed for Europe
for her annual vacation last May, her
little friend met her at the gang plank
OF the ship and HANDED her small
bouquet of roses and lilies of the valley.

Mayor and Chief of Police Protect Her

A sensational report was sent out re-
Gently to the effect that Blanche
Walsh's performance of Clyde Fitch's
play. The Woman in the Case" at
Terre Haute. Ind. had provoked a riot
in the theater which necessitated the as
sistance of the police. 1t seems, how
ever. that the case was entirely mis-
represented. Miss Walsh In a letter to
her managers. Messrs. Wagenhals ard
Kemper. refers to the incident as fol-
lows:
THE papers made lot of nothing.
A few hooGlurns in the gallery chirped
when l kissed Mr.. Alsop (the leading
mani. and some few people giggled. 1t
just happened that the mayor and chief
of police with their families were among
the audience. As l heard the story
they were both rather ardent admirers
of me and my work and the chief re-.
marked that he wasn't going to have
an artist like Miss Walsh insulted. So
he went out after the first act and
sent number of policemen to the gall
lery. They were not needed however.
for at the cEd of the second act even
the hoodluras were keenly interested and
were as good as gold. and we won their
strong and honest applause with ten

Gillette'S Realism.
Authors Methods Taken to Task by
London Critic.

The critical opinions OF the London
press upoh Mr.. Gillette-s new comedy,
"Clarice by the way, seems
10 be a melodrama-are varied and
contradictory. But some of Mr.. Will
liam Archer's reflections upon the silly
trickeries of stage management to
which Mr.. Gillette appears TO attach
so much Importance are worth quot
ing:
Il have frequently protested against
the modern managers fondness for
playing about with his electric switch
es; but Mr.. Gillette is a rar worse Of
fender than any of his English col
leagues. For one thing he has con-
ceived a violent hatred for that harm
less, necessary appliance. the curtain.
He spirits ii away In the darkness at
the beginning of an act, and lets it stink
down in the gloom at the end
Mr.. Gillette. in short. INSISTS on doing
what the artistic manager is most care
fui TO avoid; that is, taking US behind
the scenes. He reveals the mechanism
of the stage, he obtraGes its triekery.
I'm several minor details the falsity
of Mr.. Gillette's theories of stage man
agement is equally apparent He gross
ly abuses the melodramatic convention
of slow music In certain inferior
forms of drama one accepts without
murmuring a discreet accompaniment
to a pathetic or thrilling situation. But
Mr.. Gillette does not even use the de-
vice discreetly. He discounts his eject
by setting his fiddles twiddling before
the pathetic situation has developed it
self Then, again, he nearly drove me
distracted throughout the first act by
keeping up an uninterrupted warbling
of birds in the garden. together with
monotonouS creaking, whether of "a
bird or of some insect / cannot tel,
which was inexpressibiy irritating. FL
nally, every time a character was sup
posed TO leave the house the fact was

Miss Scheff's Opportunity to Appraise
Yankee Talent

Miss FRITZ Schen thought the Ger

world until she ran up against the
Yankee article. She was shopping

store devoted to antiques and curios
A typical Yankee shopkeeper used
every vile To get Them 10 purchase
something, but there was nothing that
appealed TO their fancy They came to
a collection Of curios and relics used
by American Indians. Miss Scheff's
friend was particularly interested and
quite a little disturbed-so much so
that the singer asked her what was the
matter.
These things affect me-" she re-
piled. because my father was a vic.

]. M. Barrie Has Built a Fairy Story
for Adults

In Peter Pam" which Miss Maude
Adams will give its first American pre-
sentation at the National Theater next
Monday evening, il has been said that
J. NJ Barrie the author, has struck the
finest note that his genius has yet
touched There are a. class Of people IN
this country and in England who are
known among themselves as the Bar
rieites, declaring that there is peculiar
something about an admirer of Barrie
that marks the individual. and separates
him from the rest of humanity. Per-
haps the peculiar something is the Bar
rie humor, perhaps it's the Barrie
pathos. but in all probability it's the
Barrie mixture of both
The English Barrieites have declared
that Peter PAN is the flower of his
work: that as the author has placed
the scene of his play on the top of the
trees, so will the ultimate judgment
place the work there among the authors s
productions. Whether or not the Ameri-
can branch of the Barrieite families VIII
give the work the same high praise will
be interesting TO see.
On the face of it Peter Pan is
written for children, but a play that
crowds a London theater for close on
to two years, II would seem, has done
more than interest children-it has
made children as well as grown-up peo-
pie theatergoers. In way Peter
PAN is said TO be only repetition or
what Mr.. Barrie did in Sentimental
Tommy" or. for that matter, THE
Little White Bird The former was
read to and by children with delight
and the adult got sights on things that
laT1r
he and she, the grown-ups. laid the
book down feeling they had been cracked
over the knuckles. The delight was
pathos no less attractive. the Barrie
mixture none the less fascinating be-
cause this was a study OF tempera
ment placed in a world that is not al
ways too considerate and rather fire.
quently unfriendiy.
Peter Pan is said TO be fairy
story and constructed with all the in
genuity of a man who knows as much
about the stage as does Victor Sardou.
IL one wants TO view the stage from
the point Of thrills, suspense, and
closely woven texture. But fairy story
as it is. saturated with the Barrie mix
ture. the adult who has any knowledge
of or proprietary interest in children
comes out OF the theater glad of the
memory of a childhood that enables
him to get in touch with the world of
fairies, pirates, redskins, ETC., but rub
bing his chin sagely and asking some
other doubling grown-up, who is also
rubbing his chin. How about it?"
Mr.. and Mrs. Grown-up may rub
their chins for hours. Well may they
calculate as TO whether the fairies are
not being pushed to the wall; well may
they wonder after being doused in the
golden showers of Mr.. Barrie's intel
lect II there is anything finer in the
world than the free rein of healthy
child's imagination. Those who have
seen Peter Pan say it is going to do
more than amuse and attract IL is
going to start a very much needed dis
cussion about our old and forgotten
friends, the fairies.
