HANDEL'S "MESSIAH'' SUNG.
The Annual Performance in Car
negie Hall

Two performances of Handels Mes
siah" by the Oratorio Society are come
to be regarded as an unalterable event of
christmas week. The first performance
for this season, called on the programme
a public rehearsal, took place yesterday
afternoon before an audience of ample pro-
portions 1t was, above all, an audience
that went to the concert imbued with
spirit of reverence for Handers work. and
one that listened with attention and SYM
pathy The singers, both chorus and
principals, We're worthy of the audience.
All the singing was effective and much of
1t very beautiful Mr.. Frank Damrosch
had the chorus under splendid control,
and the members sang with fine spirit and
resonant tone. Their attacks were always
sure. and especially fine was their singing
of the chorus Surely He hath borne our
griefs."
The solo singers We're Nine. Jomelli So
prano; Miss TiIy Koenen, contralto; Al
fred ID. Shaw, tenor. and David Bispham
bass. Mr.. Shaw was the only singer un-
known to New York. and he made a most
pleasant impression by the"excellent style
and finish of his singing. Miss Koenen's
rich voice was admirably effective, though
her accent marred, unfortunately her
enunciation of the text. The oratorio will
be repeated tomorrow evening

NEWPORT MAY HAVE NEW VILLA
August Belmont to Build One for Son,
Tt Is Said.
[Bv Telegraph TO The Trjbune


Newport. Dec. 2S.-If reports that are
current here are true, Newport is to have
another new summer villa erected I'm the
near future. According to the reports Au-
gust Belmont has commissioned Mr. Trum-
bauer the architect of Philadelphia to pre-
pare plans for a villa to be erected on the
site now occupied by Bythesea, the Bel
mont homestead which was recently trans
ferred 10 August Belmont by his brother
Perry. Bythesea was the scene of many
brilliant social gatherings in years gone
by. 1t was not occupied last season
Mr.. TrumbaCer is well known here. He
has designed a number of Newport villas
including The Elms, belonging to Edward
J. Berwind, and Clarendon Court, the e
{. knight estate. 1t is said that the new
villa is TO be gift to August Belmont ir.

j. Berwind is to expend $1,000 on his New
port estate before another summer in the
erection of large garage and greenhouses

the Johnson place, in the of The Elms
and the garage and greenhouses will be
erected on this land.

CANNOT USE ESTATE FUNDS.
Mrs. Wilmerding Still Restrained in
Brother-in-Law' Action.

On the application of Charles HI. Wilmer
dinS, OF Flushing, Long Island, brother of
the late Gustave thurman Wilmerding
Surrogate Thomas continued yesterday his
order restraining Mrs. Isabella Louise
Wlimerding. the widow. from using any
funds from the estate of her husband The
petitioner, who is joined by his mother,
Mrs. Harriet B. Wilmerding, seeks to have
revoked the letters of administration OBJ
tanned by his brothers widow alleging that
she converted property to her own use,
that she lived extravagantly and did not
properly manage the estate.
Among the assets of the estate that Will
merding alleges his sister-in-law collected
was $40 several bonds from a broker
age firm. He set forth that Mrs Wilmer
ding had box at the Night and Day
Bank, Of which her husband was the
cashier, and expresses the fear that she
might waste and misapply this property
Nilmerding says the estate is worth So 00a
Mrs WImerding answered that she had
not wasted any of her husbands property
and that the proceeding against her was
the result of the bitter personal feeling of
her mother-in-law and brother-in-law. She
says that on their statement that her hus-
bands estate had little or no value she
put the value down at 800.
She subsequently learned that the as
sets greatly exceed that amount and will
probably reach $4,000. Mrs. Wilmerdng
denies the conversion charge and says she
has $1,000 worth of property in her own
right.

DIR. ELIOT WINS POINT.
Court Hears argument on
"FiUe-Foot-Shelf" Injunction.

Counsel for DR.. Charles w. Eliot. president
emeritus of Harvard University, and p. f.
Collier & Son, publishers. argued yeSter-
day before Justice Newburger a motion to
make permanent a temporary Injunction
issued on December z restraining the
Circle Publishing Company and r. Milton
Jones. doing business as the University
Extension Library. from using the name
or picture of Dr. Eliot in connection with
the advertisements of their "fve-foot,shelf
of classics"
Edward NJ, Shepard. as attorney for Dr.
Eliot announced to the court that the
Circle Publishing Company had published
the advertisement in THE Circle Maga-
zine" under a misapprehcnsion. and had
decided not to publish 1t. again or to, sell
the books which Jones was preparing. and
had also abrogated their contract with the
latter The Circle company consented that
the injunction be made permanent so far
as 1T was concerned
Counsei for Mr. Jones denied that his
client was responsible for the advertise
ments complained of. and declared there
was nothing on the cover prepared for the
books to be published by Jones to indicate
that they were the much advertised "Har-
ward Classics" or the equally talked about
"fve-foot shelf" He said that his client
had. with the aid of the criticisms and
suggestions of one hundred college presi-
dents, selected "a supplemented and con-
densed' list. which included a number of
the books selected by DIR. Eliot and de
elared that Mr.. Jones had a legal right TO
do all this

THE DRAMA
"The Fires of Fate" at the
Liberty Theatre.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle should have
called in Mr.. Sherlock Holmes and should
nave asked that eminent practitioner TO
trace for him plot and synopsis for last
nights play. Even DR. Watson could have
made notes that would have helped the
matter-for help was sadly needed
The Fires of Fate Is a good name for
a play, and the first act Is good begin
ming. But ali the skill and all the interest
which start there are lost on the way to
Egypt In the first act appears Colonel
Egerton, a gallant English officer. who
consults James Roden. NJ D.. regarding
his troublesome symptoms" The colonel
is manly, CHEEKY fellow. and you like
him. The doctor likes him. The doctor
has to tell him, though, that the symptoms
indicate spinal trouble which must ter
inmate fatally within a year or eighteen
months after great pain and slow ebbing
of life. Once there was a case cured by
the shock of a railway collision But there
seems no way to shock Colonel Egerton
into a cure. The gallant officer, having no
kin and no one dependent upon him, de-
clares that he will take his own life and
not yield it by inches to disease. Tne
physician calls in his brother, the Rev.
Samuel Roden. who convinces the afflicted
soldier of the wickedness of the suicidal
plan The disease, 1t may be stated, Is the
result of wound inflicted in a military
action The physician and the clergyman
are about to leave London for trip up
the Nile. They invite Colonel Egerton to
accompany them. All this In the first act,
an interesting, skilfully performed division
of the play, revealing the hearts and mo-
tives of men who differ widely In nature
and In outlook upon life.
Three acts remain. The colonel falls in
love with an American girl on the journey
up the Nile. The tourists rashy venture
into the dervish country. are captured and
some of their companions are slain. Egyp-
tian troops, led by a British captain res
cue the captives Colonel Egerton is
wounded in a struggle with the dervishes,
and the shock of the encounter restores
him to health. Thus Providence in mysteri-
Gus ways its wonders doth perform. A
lesson of high intent, but worked out with
as little dramatic art as can be on the
playwright's part.
The third and fourth acts remind one
of the war plays written and enacted
by amateurs, in the days of used-to-pe.
These acts. and the second one for that
matter, scarcely meet even the mlldest
demands of the least exacung playsoers
of 1909. They are crude. barren, fiat
Without the scenic effect with which they
are presented they would go for very HIT
tie: even with the excellent scenery and
the theatricaily admirable dervfsh war
riors they do not go for much. Mr. Ham
ilton Revelle. as Colonel Eserton. Is good,
especially IN the first act, where he mas TO
do some thing worth while Mr.. William
Hawtrey as the clergyman, Mr.. EdWlh
Brandt as the physician and Mr. George
Trader as Abdulla, a dragoman, received
and earned liberal applause. But as the
playwright did not fulfil the promise Of his
first act, neither the players nor the spec
tators could send the work along the road
to distinction and success. A. W.

MUSIC
Yesterdays Operas and a
PdntOmime.

There ought to have been a hint TO the
managers of the Metropolitan Opera House
and The New Theatre in the performances
given at those two eminently proud, emil
nently distinguished and eminently capa-
Die institutions yesterday. In the after
noon Humperdinck's "Hansel und Gretei
received second performance in the
opera house in the presence OF an audi
ence splendid in numbers and enthusi-
astic in appreciation of the masterpiece
that 1t left an impression of happiness on
the moving crowd of upper Broadway for
half an hour afterward. The artists who
sang and played the delightful nursery
opera were those who had performed the
same beneficent act week before, and
the same spirit animated their work. and
its reception Little shrieks of delight
went up from the hundreds of big and
little children all over the vast audi
torium when the wicked witch was pushed
headlong into her own. oven, and thou-
sands of eyes shone with happiness
throughout the afternoon.
In the evening after the hot passions
of Mascagni's "Cavalleria Rusticana" had
received eloquent exposition at The New
Theatre there followed pantomime
which. with many weaknesses still made
that the wish must involuntarily have
arisen In many minds that some old Christ
mastide delights might be revived in the
theatre which is also partly opera house.
To this end nothing conceivable would be
half so artistic as series of representa-
tions of Humperdinck's exquisite version
of The Babes in the Wood in English
the form in which it was first presented to
New Workers. But that is a dream with
which the newspaper reviewer may only
indulge himself; it Is not for him to sug-
Sest to those who purvey musical enter
tainments in the name OF Apollo and in
despite of Mammon. The music of the bal
let, composed by Mario Costa, gave but
little pleasure in and of itself. it served
only to float the Insignificant mimic play
and enable Mines. Sacchetto, de Levine
and 1berti and Messrs. Sarracco and a
chorus of dancers to show that the old
art of pantomime is not wholly moribund;
but almost. The title of the dance play
was "Histoire dun Pierrot," and 1t en-
dured for three acts HEX

WALLACK'S THEATRE.
"A Little Brother of the Rich.

Whatever NAV be the faults of "A Little
Brother of the Rich" a satrical society
play by Joseph Medill Patterson and Har-
riet Ford, which was introduced at Wal
lacks on Monday night one can sit through
it with some degree of interest The play
does not bear the earmarks of geniuS-not
even of talent; it says nothing new, and
even what 1t says it does rot say cleverly.
Yet il is made bearable by the fact that
two or three players by force of their per-
Sonality or the sincerity of their acting-or
both-do fairly good work n 1t. These
players are Hilda Spong, Ida Conquest,
Vincent Serrano and John Flood.
The play has to do with the marital ad-
ventures of Muriel Evers (Hilda Spong),
who can, as she says, be happy with most
any man except her husband, whoever he
may happen to be at the time. In the first
Flood and marries Paul Potter (vincent
Serrano)- In the third act she is discov-
cred by Potter making love to another man
under circumstances similar to those in
which Evers found her with Potter in the
first act. Some time between the second
and third acts she is killed in an auto
mobile accident with the third man of her
choice. This leaves Potter free to renew
his suit with Sylvia Castle, an actress. To
whom he had been engaged when he, in a
moment of weakness, married Mrs. Evers.
In the last act Potter comes on from the
West, whittier he had gone after losing all
he had in Wall Street, to attend the arst
night of Sylvia Castle. At the end of tho
play within the play Potter comes behind
the scenes and takes Sylvia out to sumner
Whether he marries her or not is left n
the imagination Of the audience.
The first act is laid In the Evers Twin,
rooms. The second, two years later was IN
the same place, with everything the same
but the husband. The third was at the
country place of the Dunbars with the idle
rich at play. The last act two wears
later was in two scenes, the first in
Sylvia's apartment and the second at the
theatre. Hiida Spong, as Muriel Eyers. car
ried some degree of conviction She was

supposed to be satrized who acted in anv
way like one of the class depicted. unless
