last evening in Cooperative Hail. 1925 Wis

cussed was the proposed purchase of the
old Presbyterian burying ground. in square
1913, bounded by Volta place, r street, 33d
and 34th streets, for public playground.
1t was stated that the Commissioners are
heartily in favor of purchasing the prop

the old houses in the row on the north side
of Volta place. but will not embrace any
Of the 33d street front. In all It will con-
tain about 10000 square feet Of ground. II

the cost Of removing the contents of graves.

grave and tombstone is in a dilapidated
condition. and the place is unsightly.
A committee was appointed to submit a
list of improvements to the District Com

New National.

A crowded house greeted the members of
the Aborn Opera Company at the National
last night in their performance of the old
Bostonians' success, The Serenade. The
opera needs no commentator. for it is ad-
mttedy one Of the best Of its kind The
music is tuneful and sprightly and the book
Is interesting and consistent, affording
ample scope for comic situations and stage
pictures. Tlc cast is large, and each char
acter has enough work to do to exploit
the talents Of the various interpreters to
the full, and the manner in which each
takes advantage Of every opportunity makes
the present performance notable in the an
nails of local summer opera. Nothing is
omitted in the way of setting or costumng,

Messrs. Swickard, Parr and Frothingham
and Misses Wentworth, Bradford and Stone
are seen in the same roles in which they
appeared with the Bostonians, which fact
tells largely in the finished performance,
and is consequently an important factor in
the smoothness Of the production, and in
the absence of that uncertainty which al
most invaria bly, attends first perform

Estelle Wentworth, as Yvonne the jealous
danseuse, acted with spirit and grace and
vocally added several laurel leaves to her
chapet. Her song in the second act was
repeatedly encored and was one of the de-
cided treats" Edith Bradfords Dolores
was admirable. and Agnes Stone, as the
Mother Superior, gave dignity to an unim-
portant role. George Frothingham's humor
was everywhere manifest and Phil Bran

clever work. Albert Parr and Huntington

and Charles Swickard and Karl Stall were
thoroughly acceptable. The choruses were
rendered with precision and in excellent
harmony, and the familiar strains of the
serenade were pre-eminent and infectious.

Belasco.

Edwin Arden and his company in A. c.
Gunter's famous comedy, prince Karl"
met with much enthusiasm at the Beasco
Iheater last night. AS Mr.. Arden made us
forget kyrle Bellew in his "Raffles,'' SO
also does he lead his audience away from
Richard Mansfield in his Prince Karl"
The comedy is one which depends entirely
on clever dialogue and quick action. 1t has
few, If any, merits as a drama, and. there
fore. must be sustained by it's comedy in
terest alone. 1t is the first production this
season in which Mr.. Arden has played a
character part, but he proved that it is well
within his sphere.
The story is of a young German prince
who has inherited nothing but his title. He
Is ADVISED to propose marriage to a sup
posedly rich American widow, in order that
he may retain his estate and his honor.
He follows this advice, despite the fact that
he loves her daughter-in-law. Repenting
his proposal to the widow he feigns lunacy,
and afterward suicide, and reappears his
own foster brother to act as courier to the
girl he loves. AS faithful courier he wins
her love. While he is thus not himself it
Is discovered that the prince is an heir to a
large fortune He writes his own will leav-
ing the total amount to himself, only to
find that his lately acquired riches are those
which were supposed to have belonged to
his sweetheart. Enchanting that he has
busted his lofe," he Immediately writes
codicil leaving his money to her. She pene-
trates his disguise, and the lovers live hap
PLY ever afterward.
The part of Florence Ashmien Lowell, the
princes "lofe," is played by Chrystal Herne
with admirable grace and fidelity. Jessie
Glendinning a Boston girl was a charm
ing ingenue. Edward Ellis as ]. Cool ORA
gon of Chicago did an excellent bit of
work. He played the part quietly, but
with dramatic force which was most con-
vincng.

of the society. stated that he had never
heard the members sing better.
After the rehearsal Mr.. Wrightson dis
cussed the proposed trip of the society to
the jamestown exposition next Monday,
and said he would advise postponement
on account of the unfinished condition of
the exposition.
My position in this matter is an en-
barrassing one" he said. LAS musical di-

and as your director | must be fair to your
interests, and when l go on record as say
ing that the exposition throughout Is in a
poor condition and in way fit for your
concerts | am subjecting myself to much
criticism. 1t will be many weeks before
the big convention hall in which the con-
certs are to be given will be completed
and If you go next Monday it will be a
case of suicide. If 1t is satisfactory to all

the approval of the society, and before the
rehearsal adjourned Labor day was de-
cided upon definitely.

THE TIL EAT E R.
Columbia.

There was a remarkable demonstration
during the performance Of 'Trilby' at the
Columbia Theater last night, which gave
evidence that the touching human interest
story Of the Quarter Latin, by Du Maurier,
as dramatiZed By Paul Potter, clearly be-
longs in the survival of the fittest' class
of plays. For fully ten minutes following
the scene depicting the tragic death OF
Svengali wave after wave of deafening ap-
plause swept through the auditorium, COM
pellIng Mr.. Wilton Lackaye. who imper-
sonated Svengali. to appear eight times
after the curtain had been runB down on
the third act The demonstration did not
cease until Mr.. Lackaye finally appeared
before the curtain and addressed the large
audience, thanking them for their appre-
citation of his Interpretation OF the arch-
mesmerist and the efforts of Miss Spong
and the others in the cast. Mr.. Lackaye
declared that 'Trilby' was one of the pro-
auctions that never seems to grow old,
but, like rare wine, improves with age.
Mr.. Lackaye practically created the stage
character of Svengali, and those who have
read Du Mauriers book and afterward wit
messed Lackaye's version of the remarkable
character believe that ne has brought into
mimic being Du Mauriers real conception
of the part. In addition to being sur
charged with real human interest, the play
presented scenes of dramatic intensity, and
in StartHngly realistic manner Mr.. Lack
aye portrayed the potent hypnotic power
OF the strange creature of imagination
Svengali-who is believed to have many les
ser counterparts in real life. The striking
camaraderie of the Laird" :'Taffy,'' and
Little Billie" the three musketeers of the
brush. Gives cheerful sidelght on the
gruesomeness of the sinister Svengali and
his control over Trilby
Miss Hilda Spong, as Trilby, received de-
served recognition, although she is trifle
too portly for the part. as Du Maurier's
conception OF the blithsome model. who
a1terWard became the slave Of the mesmeric
art OF SvenSali, Is believed to have been a
girl of more slender figure. However, her
admirable rendition of the part more than
compensated for the discrepancy in form
and figure, and Miss Spong shared with Mr.
Lackaye in the generous applause that
came spontaneously with each recurring
scene. The others In the cast, Herbert Nc
kenzie as Taffy, Walter Howe as The
Laird, Guy Coombs as Little Billie,
Nick Judels as Gecko and Percy F.
Leach, William Lamp. w. 8. James. Sam
klawans, Guy Nichols, Fred. Harst, George

and natural. The stage settings were ar
ranged In harmony with Du Maurier's de-
scriptions. and the audience was a large
and representative one, Including Mrs
Roosevelt and party.
Miss Spong will appear as Trilby this
evening and tomorrow matinee ard even
