Stage Gossip From Gotham
By JAMES GRANT PRESTON.

NEW YORK. Feb. 24-Perhaps the
reappearance in New York Of Madame
Gvette Guilbert was the most note
worthy event Of the week in matters
theatrical
Madame GuilbeTt has changed might
lily since her last appearance in New
York, both physically and artistically.
There can be no doubt that in both
senses the change has been an i'm
provement. There IS more Of the for
mer chansonette and she is decidedly a
better singer. Her dresses are dreams
and are exact reproductions Of the cos
tunes OF the time which they repre-
sent
All the same am not fully prepared
TO admit that the French singer is al
together as charming as she was in
the old days. There is no denying the
fact, however, that she is an artist to
her finger tips, and the crowded houses
which have greeted her at the Lyceum
have been delighted with her quaint
songs and the quaint costumes The
first-night audience was n critical one,
made up, in a large measure, OF profess
sional people and musical experts, and
it appeared to be thoroughly satisfied
with DeuX SieCles de ChansOns"
Among the first performances whict
are worthy of notice, We're those of the
Triangle b. Rupert Hughes. at he

Winston Churchill, at the Madison
Square; 'Myritz-Pyritz," by Wilhelm

sang in concert at Carnegie Hall Thurs
day. and it can be safely said that
there is nothing the matter with her
voice, nor with her acting. She does not
seem to grow old and her magnificent
organ still charms all who are permitted
the privilege of hearing IT.

TEDDrs INNOVATION.

The President. with his usual prac-
tical good sense, has illustrated his
Panama message to Congress with a
lot of sketches illustrating the points
ne desires to make In inviting the In
terest Of the national assembly to
that great project. II is all right, that
idea. 1t is Rooseveltian entirely, and
It is business-like. There is nothing
like a photograph to tell tales Of
things as they are, In such momen-
tous matter as this great waterway,
for which the United States stands
sponsor, and il is well and wise that
Congress should have every atom Of
correct information it can get. in or
der that it may know what it is doing,
and how far to go, detail by detail. 1t
Is not only immensely creditable to the
man, but wholly like him to do It. We
trust the idea will become a fixture
In the traditional documents and that

Dental messages will be illustrated so
clearly and keenly as to make IT es-
sential for Congress to do its whole
duty or give ampler reasons for neg
lecting 1t. II this Photographic trick
had been in vogue during the long
years in which the millions of the
people have been wasted on the jetty
at the mouth Of the Columbia river by
useless work and extravagant con-
tracts, the mighty and essential work
would have been finished long ago,
and the inland floods OF that great
stream would have been pouring into
the sea today over magnificent and
available depths on the bar But, this

do is to commend the innovation and
bespeak its continuance; unless It
shall run to the stage OF the comic

deny ever having said a word in its
favor.
