Mr.. JAIN EXPLAINS
Consolidation of Musical Societies De-
sirabIe, but Seemingly Not
Possible Just at Present

10 the Editor of The Herald: In or
der to set at rest some of the rumors
that have been afioat for the past few
days of "a character to reflect upon the
permanence of the Los Angeles Choral
association, [ ask to be permitted to
make "a statement which should be OF
interest to every one in the city who
has a love for music and is disposed to
lend IL helping hand for the advance
ment of the art in this community.
When the unfortunate conditions
which brought about two performances
of THE Messiah" last year had spent
themselves 1t occurred to me that
although | am the director of the older
of the mixed chOruses in this city |
would willingly do almost anything to
prevent a recurrence of what happened
last year. To further this / asked FOR
u meeting with Mr.. Barnhart to dis
cuss the matter of the two societies
uniting to give concert, Mr.. Barnhart
directing part of the program and |
the other. | made this offer in good
faith and fairness and with the sole
IDEA of carrying out the purpose of the
organization of the choral society, the
advancement of good music here.
Mr.. Barnhart expressed himself Will
ing to lay the matter before the di-
rectors OF the Apollo club. / attended
this meeting and again urged that all
differences, real on fancied, be buried
for the good of music. Since that time
have received AN answer from the
directors of the Apollo club, declining
to enter into the consolidation,
/ do not see that I am called upon
to make further oyertures. but will
now take up, with the choral society
the study of the program for our next
concert. There need be no occasion for
a clash between the two societies here
for the stronger one will live i'm the
end, but j think, could one strong so
ciety have been formed of the two,
the popularity of choral singing and
the education of the public i'm this form
OF the art would have been more quick
ly brought about. Respectfully,
JULIUS ALBERT JAIN.

0reenrOOn1 Gossip

Annie Russell has signed a five years
contract with Wagenhals & Kemper
to begin next September The contract
calls for three months in London each
year, the remainder of each season to
be spent in America. 1t is planned for
her to open the new Astor theater.
Liebler 81 Co. have leased the Liberty
theater for the season of 1906-1907, as a
playhouse for Eleanor Robson. 1t is
planned to present Miss Robson in Il
repertoire of her older plays and in
three new pieces now being written for
her by Rostand, Zangwill and Barrie.
A remarkable tour is about to be
taken by Nance O'Neil. At the close
OF her present season, terminating in
Boston, the actress will travel direct
to Honolulu, thence to Japan, China,
the Straits Settlements, India and
thence to Europe. She will play eX-
tended engagements in the countries
mentioned, carrying a large company
and entire scenic productions for thirty
plays. No actress has ever before been
presented in the Orient in the manner
outlined by Miss O'NeiFS manager
Mckee Rankin.
Charles Frohman had decided to
make an elaborate production of
Jeanne dare" This heroine, who has
| been seen in various dramatic guises
during the past century, Will be given
AN entirely new setting in the forth
| coming production. Mr.. Frohman will
east the drama from his large force Of
players. 1t is stated that his Jeanne
dare" will not be the same version of
| the Maid of Orleans exploits that Is
now being made for Beerbohm Tree.
Charles Frohman has arranged by
cable to extend for a long run at the
Comedy theater, London, 1.-THE Noun
tain Climber" which he produced at
that theater about month ago with
Huntley Wright, The play has scored
tremendously as a laugh-maker, equally
the hit of Are You a Mason?' With
this is used the one-act play, "The Lit
tie Father of the Wilderness" which is
now being played by Francis Wilson
in this country. "The Mountain
Climber" will be produced in New
York at Easter.
It is now announced in New York
that Clara Morris will be seen again
ON the stage. She has signed con-
tract with Henry Miller which binds
her to appear in a new play which
will be produced i'm the early spring
under his management. The play Is
by young and unknown author and
the role Miss Morris Will assume Is
that of the mother of the hero. She is
dumb but it is an important factor in
the plot. The entire role will be played
in pantomimc.
Eleanor Robson has begun the re-
hearsals of Clyde Fitch's new play
"Thc Girl Who Has Everything" and
will produce 1t at the Euclid Avenue
opera house in Cleveland on February
I. The plot of the comedy Is kept a
profound secret by all concerned, but
It is made known that Miss Robson
will have the role of Sylvia Lang, a
young woman who starts out with
everything hut who finds herself
face to face with many responsibilities
which she meets with the courage and
cheerfulness that characterize the
American woman at her best The

Charles F'rohman states that, al
though Sothern and Marlowe propose
producing Jeanne dare" within a

production shall be under his manage

Marlowe does not extend to that time.
This production may be made at the

Stage Managers Needed

The CRYING need of the theater today
is stage managers, not men to hold the
book and ring down the curtain, but
persons of brains capable of directing
talent when they find it, Of nourlSh-
ing it. and providing it with the inspir-
alton that comes from intelligent APP
probation of merit as well as from the
scrupulous detection Of faults. The
New York Times says it has referred
TO this more than once. The wasted
talents of Nance O'Neill is a case in
point With proper direction she might
have developed into a second Bern
hardt, for all the natural qualifications
are hers. But intelligent direction was
wanting.
Here, then, is point which the
young men of the American theatel
may ponder upon with advantage. II
some of them who are today wasting
their energies in the efforts to become
half way competent actors would de-
vote themselves assiduously TO the
study of general stagecraft inestimable
good might result. The next twenty
five years might produce from among
their ranks but one efficient stage di-
rector, but that one would be worth
more to the profession of acting al
large than a dozen successful leading
men. Such devotion would entail some
personal sacrifices. The noNitiate ii
stage direction is not often in tho
llinelght, and he does not know much
of the glory of the three-sheet poster
and the Photographic layout. His re-
wards under present conditions are moi
likely 10 be as great as that of the
man who succeeds in making name
for himself as the player of heroic
roles. But he might ultimately fill a
place which Is sadly in need of filling
and upon which the future usefulness
Of the whole profession of playing is
largely depending.
We will not have great actors unit
we have great Stage managers. There

presage or deny with any degree OF
assurance-but the maintenance of the
theater as an institution of steady and
progressive good is dependent largely
upon the development OF a genius In

"Monna Wanna" Explained

Maurice MaeterlinCl, in an interesting
interview in the Theatre magazine Tor
January, analyses his own character,
Monna Wanna:
"It is that of a beautiful, spiritual
woman" said NJ. Maeterlinck. '"To ana
I'VE her character one must study the
situation in the play and the period oil
the action, and also have some Idea OF
the passions that have ever moved the
Latin race. Guido is a soldier, accus-
toned to command, hot headed. he is
married to Monna Wanna, beautiful
lovable woman. The Italian female has
very seldom her choice in marriage, es-
pecially at the period of this play. Yet
she is obedient and resigned, and tries
to do her duty to the man to whom she
has been given. Guiro loves her pas
sionately: Monna Wanna returns his
tenderness with a wifely devotion and
respect Perhaps she deludeS herself.
Prinzevalle sends word that he will give
the starving city of Pisa food and am
munition if, in return they will send
TO him Monna Wanna, clad only in her
mantle Of course the husband is hor-
rified, consumed with rage and jealous,
but the virtuous Monna Wanna is
ready for the sacrifice.
Certainly there is in her no thought
of love or lust when she offers to do
this outrage to her dignity to save the
lives of her fellow-citizens. My idea
in this scene was to show splendid
spirit of altruiSm, and in the tent scene
to have the Christening influences OF a
pure woman overcome the forces OF
evil PrinzeValle, in her virtuouS pres
ence. is completely disarmed, and
great spiritual love is born in his own
heart for this woman he had already
adored as a child. Monna Wanna un-
derstands his self-restraint and is pro-
foundly touched by this proof of his
love Man is the master of his des-
tiny All depends on the way in which
we meet the events of life. Monna
Wanna has at last met her twin soul.
This is the man she truly loves, but,
being a good woman, she does not rec
ognize the fact until later. She re-
turns to her husband, happy to be
with him again, and to have prevailed
over her enemy, and she rewards
Prinzevalle by saving his life. Guido,
being an ordinary man, cannot COM
prehend that one can love and still re-
strain ones passion. In presence of
these two men, so unlike in character,
Monna Wanna realizes the depth of her
own feelings, and, threatened by the
danger of losing Prinzevalle, my hero
inc triumphs over all obstacles by sheer
force of will. According to my analy-
sis of the play it is divided into three
distinct elements: First, her sacrifice;
second, the awakening of her soul;
third, the triumph of love and will over
destiny"

SOthern-MarIoWe Plans

e. H. Sothern has made the following
the future of his artistic alliance with
Julia MarloWe: Next season we plan
to produce 'Cymbeline, AS You Like
It'--in which | shall play rouchstone-
and King Lear In addition to these
three revivals We shall also use the six
in which we have already been seen, 50
that we shall next season have a re-
pertory OF nine Shakspearean plays.
Miss Marlowe and myself hope to be
associated professionally for some years
to come. We have IN mind other than
Shakspeare's plays. As matter of
fact both Miss Marlowe and myself
have a number of such plays I'm hand
and still others are being written for
us. We shall also make revival of
Hauptmann's play, The Sunken Bell

stanzas from Gounods "Sapho." and
Bird Song from "Felicien," David's
La Perle du Bresil' and the "Ha-

ny, futist, and Jeanette Vermorel, Vio-
linlste.
