Stage Gossip From Gotham

NEW YORK, May 12.-Coney Island
is in full blast, the trees are in full
foliage. straw hats and peek-a-boo
waists are occasionally seen on the
street. the lilac man is doing business
and the soda fountains are increasing

coming for the actor people. and that

into history.
1t has been good season for all

but the amusement must be to fits taste.
OF the seasons successes The Music

have been easily the leaders: but
a score Of other plays have brought
fame and fortune to authors. players
and managers, and when the season OF
1906-07 opens they still will be found
doing business to the capacity OF the
houses.
The roof gardens are beginning to be
popular. and with these and the usual
number OF houses which run on the
year-around schedule the visitor who
has discovered New York to be the very
best Of all summer resorts will not suf-

there is the ever new Coney, which will

VOCAL RECITAL.

Showing their appreciation of her
worth as a vocal instructress. friends
and admirers of Mrs. Il. st. George
Fades filled the Methodist church on
Monday evening to listen to a musical
treat in the way of recital by Mrs.
Fades and her pupils. The Single
Dozen quartette, whom we always like
to hear were at their best this evening
and gave three selections. Ina Palm
ers sweet voice brought out in every
tone the remarkable results of cultiya-
tion. Gertrude Detweiler of Brown
City, favored the audience in several
selections with her very fine voice.
Yale music lovers would be glad to
hear her again. Irving Palmer has a
good, deep bass which his late lessons
with Mrs. Fades have further perfect
ed. In "Jerusalem" his rendering was
splendid. For little fellow, the voice
of Olin Beavis gives promise of great
things. He has high range, clear
and sweet. His instruction from Mrs.
Fades is developing his tones finely.
Mrs. Fades audience would have been
glad to hear her often but she sang
only once, in duet with Miss Detweil-
er. We have no need to say that Mrs.
Fades has a strong, sweet voice which
she has under perfect control. We all
know it that have heard her before.
This is the close OF her lessons for the
summer, but we hope that she will take
mp her work here again in the fall and
we feel almost certain that she will
easily secure a large class. Her efforts
in the way of voice training bear very
successful results. There are large
number of young people in Yale, who
with a good teacher for a time. could
use their voices in choirs, concerts. etc.
Many have really fine voices to which
they are Indifferent or are afraid to use
in public. We would be glad to see
these awaken to the beautiful advan.
tages of voice culture.
