them with the bartender of the hotel at

Yvette Guilbert.
Famous Concert Hall Singer Intends to
Revisit America.

Yyette Guilbert, who is now in Lon

poets TO go to America in the autumn.
For some months. she says. she has had
conditional arrangement with q man
ager in New York, and now both are
ready to fulfill 1t. She is not coming
back to the music halls. In fact. IL is
several years since she has appeared In
them anywhere. She does not expect to
do little scene of her own in a musical
play. though the manager seemed to
have something like that in view.
Yvette's plan. which she hopes to ac-
complish-and she has a Willis to give
here the same sort of recitals In costume
that she has been giving for two or
three seasons in London and In Paris
In them she is no longer the Ianky and
sad-eyed Yvette of, the plain frocks and
the long black gloves who used half to
sing and half to recste to US. Nowadays
she is very fresh. alert. cheerful, al
most comedy, I.erson. and she wears on
the stage either the brocades, Powered
skirts. and white wig of a marquise of
Versailles or tie swelling crinoiines and
the short bodice of the Paris of 1880.
The furniture and the ornaments about
her suit the one or the other costume.
II she is in ''Pompadour'' Dress she sings
"Pompadbur" songs-old tunes of the
seventeenth and eighteenth century In
France set to verses of the time. If
she is in crinoline she sings "crinoline'
songs-folk tunes and popular ditties
that they were singing eighty years ago
in Paris. She has foresworn altogether
the sordid woes and joys Of the slums
of Paris that she twice brought to US
Yvette is cultivating innocence now

little tragedies that are more poignan,
because they are less sodden.

She half sings and half recites them as

to display their versatility. The play
selected is Henry Guy Cartoons The
Butterflies" which was presented IN
this city some years ago by John Drew
and Maude Adams. 1t is described as
an American comedy and is written In
three acts It is replete with bright say
ings and clever situations and is sure
to please the patrons of the Columbia.
The part of Frederick Ossian. which
was played in the original production by
Mr. Drew, will be enacted here by Guy
Standing. and Miss Charlotte Walker
will play the role originally gisen by
Miss Adams. Miss Galloway will have
an important part. as will also some OF
the other favorites, including Mr.. Dun

tears of short-lived grief to be shed by
the child actress.
