In . Uniqde Matinee in Lomdoa q New Story Was Read Co the Accompaniment of
 Music.


 London, Dec I9.--Among the de- lights of recent matinee at the St James Theatre in aid of the Royal National orthepaedic Hospital was an exceedingly interesting experiment in a new form Of art. namely, the reading of story to music. The executant was Miss Gertrude Elliott, the story was the Happy Prince" and the music was both composed and played by Miss liza Lehman. Since Clifford Harrison led the way the art of re- citing music has advanced amazingly alike in resource and popularity. Both Henry Ainley and Miss Lena Ashwell have won little triumphs in this de reetton with in the last few days.
 With the St. James effort, however, the case was different, In spite of the delicate and sincere art of both the ladies concerned. Read as 1t was from 8 book, with runs and chords from the plano now and then, the charm lng fairy tale grew curiously tedious l towards the finish. One waited with almost a sense of strain for the pfana- cues, and when the Princes heart broke, and the incident was immedi- ately echoed in the music. there was an almost enevitable litter.
 The truth is, doubtless. that where all the expression possible Is put Into the prose-and neither music nor elo- cutton expected--there is nothing left to interpret, and the flourish upon the piano becomes merely superfiucus when, however, the words interpret or illustrate a melody as in a slow. music love-scene. or ever when they contrast with 1t, then all is we'll

DIR. Davidson is now holding similar

is expected that the music will be one
of the chief features of interest.
Wherever these meetings have been

the meetings are entertained here.
The fact that meetings are held at
