Harrison Grey F1ske is no longer member of

ayers. AT a meeting yesterday of the board Of
directors Mr. Fislze was expelled by vote
said 10 be ) to (. and with his expulsion the
controversy between Mr.. Savage and Mr.. F1ske
over the production of THE Devir' is at end
so far as the association is concerned
When Mr.. Belasco heard of the associations
action he sent his resignation. and it was fol-
lowed by that Of Benjamin Roeder. who is asso-
ciated with Mr.. BeIasco. Mr.. Fiske did not ap-
pear to be worried by his expulsion. and the
only devil in town, on view al the Belasco, en-
tertained d numerous audience.
Mr. Fiske said last night that the only ac-
cusation made against him at the associations
meeting was that he had refused to make known
his plans when a committee from the Organi-
zation called on him. Mr.. Savage was the first
manager to produce THE Devil" in this coun-
trv. The first performance occurred out of
town
The company rested for several weeks. and
during that time Mr.. Fiske had company re
hearsng another version. He kept his own
counsel and when Mr.. Savage least suspected
il made the public announcement that he would
produce THE Devil" at the Belasco. Mr.. Saw
age was equal to the emergency and announced
that he would produce the authentic version.
The result was rival performances on the same
night
Mr. Savage issued statement in which he
said the vote to expel Mr.. Fiske was unanimous.
and that though he was president Of the as
sociation, he was not present
According to Mr. Savage, Mr.. Fiske "in his
own testimony admitted that he had deliberately
made false statements"

theatre in Burlington Gardens. The American
flag was as prominent the British colors, and
the American Ambassador was under It. a
large laurel wreath between the flags, and
several portraits of Milton were on the screen
The programme contained a miniature print OF
a portrait of Milton in his eleventh year. recently
discovered. and now in Passmore Edwardss col
lection.
The brilliant audience in the theatre was en-
tertained with grafton. a poem and an in
formal talk music Dr. Ward. master Of Pc
terhouse. read scholarly paper on the broad
lines of Milton's career. laying stress on its
literary rather than political phases His leading
idea was that Milton was the one first rate mas
ter of the grand style Of English prose and
poetry. George Merediths poem. splendidly read
by the honorary secretary Of the academy was
more robust and patriotic than the Grafton, and
described Milton as the defender OF the COM
monwealth and the champion of liberty
The comedian of the occasion Sir Fred
eriCk Bridge, who gave, in most humorous
spirit running account OF "COmus." and illus
trated it with the original music Of the masque,
which he had discovered after prolonged re-
search. There a small orchestra for the
instrumental numbers. and the madrigals and
ballads were sung with refined taste by members
of the choir of Westminster Abbey. George
Merediths noble ode and the archaic music Of
the famous masoue were the best features OF the
entertainment There will be additional cele-
bration in the city tomorrow, and subsequent
