MAY IRwIN'S AQUAPHONE
IS A MUSICAL NOVELTY

Nav Irwin is the possessor of one of
the most curious musical contrivances
Imaginable. And It is entirely the re-
tult of one walIeful night at one-night
ltand. The instrument occupies about
nalf the space of an upright piano. and
* a conspicuous article of furniture in
The music room of the actress New York
residence. She styles the instrument
The Aquaphone. for it is water that pro-
duces the soft sounds that proceed from
Il.
While playing in one of her favorite
towns. Miss Irwin was disturbed one
night by the dripping Of the faucets Of
her bath tub, which was OF the old FASH
toned metal lined type. An night long
It was drip. drip. drip: and at first the
noise was terribly annoying 10 the tired

sound which had been such an annoy

win imagined that she could detect
strains OF music in 1t. and under the
gentle influence thereof she was grad
ually lulIed to rest
Immediately after breakfast next
morning, Miss Irwin summoned her mu-
steal director. John Sorg, and knowing
him to be of an inventive and mechan-
zeal turn of mind. as wen as musical.
she suggested that he evolve musical
instrument that would produce melody
something like that of the tumbleron-
ocon. or musical goblets. so frequently
heard on the vaudeville stage.
After several months of study and
work Mr. Sorg achieved the Aquaphone.
The only difficulty he encountered was
how to regulate the supply Of water 50
as to make the instrument capable Of
performing more than a limited num-
Der of selections. The performance is
now limited TO four operate numbers
or a dozen song compositions. However,
Mr. Sorg has strong hopes that in time
he will be able to invent some scheme
whereby the water supply will be in
exhaustible and thus the motor power
BE- made indefinite.
The principal machinery consists Of a
series Of perforated crystal cylinders
revolving in opposite direction, allow
ing the water to drop through the holes
upon a double octave of glass bars,
the tuning Of which required the utmost
skill and no little patience. The CHER
care having been directed toward avoid
ing any substance that would be likely
to rust. all the working parts, even the
cog-wheels, are made Of glass.
So infatuated has Miss Irwin become
with her AquaphOne that she is con-
stantly adding new glass cylinders, rec

But If there was nothing new that
was particularly interesting. there was
a revival that was noteworthy, and car
ried old-timers back to pleasant
memories of almost a generation ago.
There was "A large audience made up OF
many old friends in the Lincoln Square

Gossip From the
Great White Way
New York. Feb. D

New York, Feb. D
There have been only two novelties on
Broadway this week-indeed. actually
only one-"The Tattooed Man." with
Frank Daniels as the star. at the Cri-
terion; though "The White Hen" with
Louis Mann. only opened at the Casino
last Saturday night, so that 1t is not
Ear from a novelty this week.
There is nothing really sensational
about 1.-THE White Hen The unanirn-
Gus, and most unusual. complaint is
that the star does not spend enough of
his time on the stage He certainly was
funny all the time that he was there,
and George Henry Payne, Of the Even
ing Telegram, says that comic honors
were evenly divided between him and
a real donkey" and that aside from
Mann "the most intelligent actor Of the
company was the aforesaid donkey. who
kept looking out on the audience with
an expression that plainly indicated his
contempt-Why Taught at me? I have TO
be here; you paid TO come in"
That is perhaps a trife hard on the
piece Miss Louise Cunning. as prima
donna of the company, made a distinct
hit She is charmingly pretty. and.
given the chance, she can sing. There
seems, however, to be some question as
to whether she is given the chance.
Some ragtime dancing by seven young
women made something of a hit.
As for Frank Daniels "Tattooed
Man" it is remarkably good show Of

acts The first act. in which Miss
Elliott appears in the costume Of a

wealthy brewer. The remaining three
acts show the town house Of Mr.. Botes.
The story deals with love affair be-
