France has q goodly crop Of royal

snor this reason Prince Victor Ma
poleon, who claims the Bonapartist
succession and is styled Napoleon w.
by his followers. resides in Brussels.
Prince Victor's father was cousin to
Napoleon III, husband of the ex-Em-
press Eugene. Napoleon III. died in
1873; his only son, the prince i'm
perial. was killed In the Zulu cam
paign Of 1879, and thus Joseph Charles
Paul Bonaparte, father of Prince Vic
tor, held the position of head Of the
house Of Bonaparte. and his son be-
came heir of the Bonapartist hopes.
But the act Of 1885 exiled them both
as Pretenders to the throne. Prince
Victor, however-his father died in
1S91-still hopes to reign in the ccun-

Ere withont Fire

The progress made in creating stage
effects wherein FIRE and combustibles
were employed not so very many years
ago is simply amazing. and, to say the
least. the results are much more strik-
ing and impressive. Il is remarkable
thing when one considers that the awe
inspiring spectacle in Mr. Thomas f.
shea's Lew play. a Soldier OF the
Cross. coming 10 the New Academy.
which shows the eruption of Mount We
suvius. is produced actually without the
use OF IRE or combustihies. This is said
10 be all the more wondered at when il
is taken into account that these startling
sensations are accomplished with com
paratively less complicated means than
were employed heretofore. Many years AGO
the tnventiyeness OF the stage mechanic
sounded the knell of the primitive blow
torch and red fire; and what Messrs
Cohan and Harris. the producers OF Mr.
Sheas new play. have done is not the
beginning of the reform in this direction
but rather the consummation Of the re-
suit of years Of experiment. The theatre
cal producer has striven after a substi-
tute for real flames, and In a great many
recent endeavOTs il has pretty nearly
been perfected. Principally By the use of
various stereOptieon projections has this
success been achieved. but in u Soldier
Of the Cross" an entirely different prob
lem was TO be confronted. The efficiency
Of stage volcanic eruption depends
upon so many obviously insurmountable
impediments that its accomplishment Is
hardly 20 be c0mprehended. Neverthe-
less, the effect that has been attained in
this particular case is present with no
inconsiderably convincing results. The
first obstacle that presented itself was TO
gather the data on how Vesuvius in full
action must look. This was supplied
mainly by Pliny and Spalanza and the
authority of modern biologists. After de-
termining what the effect ought 10 be. in
order 10 be nearly an exact imitation.
much time was spent to solve the prob
lem OF production. How this has been
brought about without the use of FIRE and
combustibles is a proposition to be mar
veied at. for not only is the presentation
scientifically correct in every detail. but
replica of the real Vesuvius has been
harnessed for modern stage purposes.

The Hofmann-Kreisler Recital.

The coming of Josef Hofmann and
Fritz Kreisler. at the Columbia Theater.
April "A. has been looked forward to by
the well informed in musical matters
with anticipation. In recent years Kreis-
Ter has developed a beautiful affection
for the chaste and reposeful classics of
the early composers for the violin. Sat
urated with the pure music OF Bach.
Coreilli, Vivaldi, Localett. anc the other
old masters, he now comes 10 the inter-
pretation Of modern writer's with a style
refined in the sweetest and most eievat-
ing atmosphere of his art. He reads
Beethoven in the light of the golden age
OF violin composition. and he is thereby
led into the loftiest regions OF musical
Interpretation. Mr.. Kreisler came to this
country years ago as q juvenile prodigy,
and at that time he displayed a remark
able technique. He has more than full
filled his promise.
No other pianist has achieved the tri-
umphs this season in New York that
have fallen 10 Josef Holman. None has
played before larger audiences. than he.
and no one has fulfilled the great ex-
pectations that were foreshadowed in his
playing when he first burst upon the
musical public of this country decade
age. Hofmann plays with poise and re-
pose always. His style is manly and un-
affected, and he never attempts 10 dazzle
his listener with technique which is
well nigh fiawless.

If the combined power OF attracting

The Clansman'' should certainly be
rated as a tremendous dramatic success.
but If excellence of diction. adherence to
classic tradition, and appropriateness of
allegorical aliusion is considered, II is but
a poor thing indeed and it is a regrettable
thing that the first mentioned sordid argu-
ment should be of almost dominating in
huence. while plays of real classical and
poetic quality are permitted to trudge over
the hills to the theatrical poorhouse.
Theoretically considered. the thing is
the cheapest kind of melodrama. and
there is not romance or heart-interest
enough 20 warrant such a prolonged hold
upon the popular attention. Is il the vital
quality OF the dominant issue which is
alone able TO attain such results? This
would seem TO be the answer. yet there
is an element Of philosophical incongruity
present which casts doubt, and almost
narrows the thing down TO an appeal to
race prejudice and a reversion to the
methods OF far more crucial and strenu-
Gus times.
