 NEW HAVEN.
"yoluntcer Organist" Opens Engage.
 mcnt Successfully.

The theatregoers who braved the weather last night to see the initial performance of The Volunteer Organ ist' have no cause for regret. If was very well executed by a capable com pany and combined just enough com edy to set the pathos in clear cut re- lief. There are many morals to the play and the audience left with deep impression of every one of them.
 Howard Sturgis is a parson in Cam bridge. Vt. a little country town and he loves the daughter of a tavern keep CTS. despite the many influences of his friends to change his attitude. The girls name is Grace Barrett and she proves to be worthy of the love of the parson. The parson has a great friend in Nathaniel Mlnsheld, a millionaire. vho will da anything for him and in the first act buys the mortgage on sam Ynkon's farm. sam was a drunkard but tho parson has reformed him and now frees him from debt
 There are two village characters who are typical of every country town. They try to turn the opinion of the village against Grace by starting gos- sip about he- that is false. The result is that the parson loses his rich friend for a short time.
 Tho parson has a brother. Tom. who has fallen before the temptation af drink. and has dropped out of sight far years. until one evening at prayer meeting he turns up and becomes The Volunteer Organist" when the organ ist refuses to play while Grace sings in the choir-all the choir refuse to sing,

SYMPHONY SOLOIS7
Francis Rogers, Harvard Grad uate, Oft Tempted to Go
 Into Opera.
AN EXCELLENT BARITONE
He Will be Heard by New Haven at the Woolscy Hall
 Concert.

Of all concert singers, none has been so often tempted with good round fig ures by the impressarios to lave his chosen field to go into opera as has Francis Rogers, the young baritone who is to sing with the New Haven Symphony orchestra on Tuesday next at Woolsey hall.
 MT. Rogers has all the attributes that a successful opera singer needs; voice. temperament, good looks. delightful personality and the ability to accom- plish all that he sets out 10 do. He is, however, devoted to the kind Of work he is in and with plenty of en- agreements that take him among the most delightful surroundings and bring him into contact with congenial people he sticks to the concert stage where he made himself famous both at home and abroad. Of course he IS young, this athletic looking singer, who graduated at Harvard not so many years ago, and he may yet be tempted to join the Scottis and the Renauds and the other big opera guns, who are noted for their artistic work as well as for their fine voices, but 1t will not be for the present, he declares.
 The program for next tuesdays con cert is perhaps the most brilliant one Dr. Parker has given us this year and certainly the most interesting Tn the matter of fascinating contrasts.

Haesche. Prof. Jepson will be at the organ and Miss Edna Estelle Hall, who is the regular gifted accompan- ist of the choral union, at the piano.
 The announcement that Miss Mar garet Rabold of New York has been chosen for the wonderful role that the great master wrote for Gertrude" has aroused great excitement in the musical world. Her voice, without any doubt, is the finest for this orato- rio in America to-day.
 The combination of Ericsson Bush nell, bass, and Wellman Rieger, tenor. anu Alloo " dAhtt dS Apiill dAlOs dll NCIl [ known and beloved musicians. could hardly be more happily chosen.
 Mir. Bushnell and MT Rieger have talents and temperaments alike in their concert work; have been so often selected for the same works that the ensemble is perfect
 Miss Walker has a small contralto part for her share, and the only regret Is that it is small, but very necessary for the completion of an artistic rem dering of the composition.
 Associate members, if not in line to choose will have three tickets mailed to them without extra charge.

Hyperion next Tuesday in Her Sister
Madame NaZilnoNn.

Madame Nazimova, the Russian ac- tress, who will be seen at the Hyperion theater, on February 26, in "A Dolls House" has perhaps the most remark able personality of any living actress She has an almost uneanny gift of making herself appear tall or short ac- cordinc to the needs of the part which she is playing Al times one imagines her to be an extremely tall and 1.-the woman; again, she is transformed into dainty pert, slim figure, so that one finds 1t difficult to believe that she is the same person. Local play-goers will have an opportunity to note Nazi- mova's extraordinary faculty in this di- rection.

Rudolph and Adolph.

Franklin and Brixton in Charles Newman's merry farce comedy "Ru- dolph and Adolph," the attraction at the New Haven theater Tuesday and Wednesday nights, February IS and 19. and at the matinee Wednesday, have demonstrated that it is not only possible but profitable for entertain ment of this style to be clean and wholesome as well as funny. A great many authors appear to have the idea that in order to evolve the ludicrous situations fer stage purposes it is nee essary to utilize risque situations. and marital infidelity. and great many comedians evidently think it is neces- sary to resort to suggestive bushes" and double entondre in order to pro yoke laughter,

GRAND OPERA IN ENGLISH.
Metropolitan Under New Manage
 mcnt Plans Innovation.

New York. Feb. 13.It is quite pos sible, if the intentions of tho new di- rectors of the Metropolitan Opera house are carried out, that in the course of the next season a number of operas in English, and If possible operas written by Americans, will be produced.
 This will be in keeping with the re- moulded policy of the institution which, according to Otto H kahn, one of the directors. will henceforth be conducted solely for artistic purposes. The fnan- cial transactions of the opera house will be eliminated as much as possi- ble.
 While we have done nothing definite as yet" said MT. Kahn to-day. we fully intend to carry out the idea. It is our ambition to make the opera house more of an educational institu- tion than it s-as it should he. A great institution like the Metropolitan Op- era House should be as much a nation- al educational project as the American Museum of Natural History of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
