ashes of the terrible revolution. But
he would not have won without Andre.
His troops were ragged, footsore and
half starved. The battle was going
against him. All seemed lost. Sud
denly Andre leaped into the canal and.
holding his drum above his head, swan
across and on the other bank beat an
irresistible charge. The French SOL

Napoleon's great victory was assured.
Thus by this lads heroism were the

During the old days Of Sweden there

Russian Symphony Orchestra and the
 Ben Greet Players.

New Haven by reason of its renown as a music center, and it's prestige as the home of one the greatest universi- ties of the country is to have its share in the Mendelssohn centenary, for on Monday evening, November 1G, the Russian Symphony Orchestra of New York and the Ben Greet players will present Midsummer Nights Dream. with the Mendelssohn music. It will be the first presentation ever given in America of the music with the play by an entre cast. Mir. Greet has been the country to present tho Dream" this season and tho production here on November 16, will bo his first per- formance in this Mendelssohn centen- ary tour. The Russian symphony or chestra has membership of sixty splendid musicians, with Modesto Altschuler as leader and such an inc mense body of players will necessltate the enlargement of the orchestra pit considerably. Consequently several rows of seats will have to be taken out to make room for the orchestra, which is the largest that has ever appeared here in dramatic production.
 Mrs, Lou Wall Moore, who has got Greek scholars all over the world talk ing of her wonderful dances will come with MT, Greet to New Haven and will do all the solo dances In the Dream, " and will also arrange the dances by the children who are to come down from Boston to appear In the produc- ton This is the day of the revival of classic dances and needless to say the dancing in MT. Greets presentation ot the Dream is one of its important features,
 The management at the theater are already receiving orders by mail fot seats, and applications will receive prompt attention The regular seat sale will be announced shortly.

It has been many years since q comic opera has met with such n- stantaneous success as has Julian Ed wards latest composition "The Gay Musician" which comes to the Hy- perion, Friday and Saturday, Novem- Der 6 and z, with matinee Saturday,
 To the verdict of New York, Balti- more and Philadelphia, where "The Clay Musician" played to crowded houses, must be added the endorsement Of Boston, Montreal, Toronto etc, for the praises of The Gay Musician were heard on all sides, and the thea ters where 1t played were taxed to their capacity nightly
 Julian Edwards has written score filled with dainty numbers that finger in tho memory after one has heard them, while the book and lyrics of the comic opera arc clean and refined in evefy detail. Tho magnificent work of the company selected by Manager John r. Slocum, could not be improved upon and the big chorus deserves it's title of the best singing comic opera chorus in America to-day" Amelia Stone has added to her laurels in "The Gay Mu- scian," and she has become immensely popular while her gowns are the envy of every woman who beholds them Joseph c.

MARY GARDENS "sALoMr.- .-
\ Gauzy Costume for tho Dance of
 the Seven Vclls.

A Paris dispatch to the New York Times has the following regarding young woman who has achieved much success in the musical world and who for a time was resident of Hart ford;
 Mary Garden, with her sister, French maid, a cook, and the head of John tho Baptist sailed on Wednesday for New York on the Adrlatic. Be- fore sailing she danced at a final re hearsal of her salome dance, and this 1 had the privilege of seeing. As a result all the New York Salomcs should be warned to take to the woods before the arrival of the only Mary Garden.
 It will he remembered that when Strauss sensational opera was first produced in Dresden, and at subse- quent productions in other cities, a trained dancer was substituted for the singer in the terpsichorean feature Miss Garden, however remembered a conversation with Strauss in which the composer said that he had purposely given the singer ten minutes rest after the dance and when Oscar Ham merstein decided to produce the opera she decided to do away with all bal lerinas.
 Ever since she returned from her summer vacation in September she has been studying tho dance with Mile. Chasles, an ex-dancer of the Opera Comique. Each day Miss Gar den's automobile has stopped before Chasles' Sale Danse, and each day Mary has stepped out with dancing slippers and tights in hand, gone into the doorway and emerged some two l hours later thoroughly tired out Up 1 to Monday no one had seen the dance, but on Monday Miss Gardens cos- tune was finished and she decided to have a final rehearsal with costume and wig
 Mile, Chasles' Sale de Danse is a l large, square room, with q sloplng l floor like that of the Paris opera stage. There are footlIghts and seats In front of them for spectators. The walls arc hung with curious old prints of famous dancers. This final re- hearsal which occurred last Monday evening, was witnessed only by Andre | Messanger, who intends to mount 'Salome" with Miss Garden, April next; Nile. Chasles, and the cores pondent of the New York Times, not counting the maid, wlgmaker and &C., companist, all of whom enjoyed the ] spectacle as much as anybody.
 Miss Gardens costume differs in a marked degree from those her pre- deCessors have worn. When she first enters she wears a manteau of bright orange silk embroidered with startling green and blue flowers and sparkling with spangles Later she removes this mantle, under which appears a tight-tltting garment of netted gold, with designs in rubies and rhine stones, which falls from somewhere above the waist line to her ankles. For tho dance Itself thls also ls re- moved, and Mary appears in a small piece of nearly transparent nesh-col- pred silk. Her feet are bare her arms are bare, and--really it is lm- possible to describe this costume. It may be seen however, that even when Miss Garden is in repose, it is several degrees more daring than any costume New York has seen lately
 Sho wears a red wig, her hair falling about her shoulders, and only two jewels in rings on her little fingers
