stories OF the King" by James Bald
win is a new volume OF the well known
eclectic readings, adapted to- pupils in
the fifth to eighth grades. The stories
of King Arthur and his knights OF the
round table form a complete connected
narrative, relating all the most notable
the romancers OF many times and many
lands. They are here presented in sim
pie modern English, and care has been
taken TO avoid anything that might
give offense. These stories vividly por-
tray for youthful readers whatever was
noblest and most admirable In knight
hood, and afford to children an un-
equaled opportunity for familiarizing
themselves with tales which for more
than a thousand years have delighted
successive generations. Sixty illustra-

Singer Collapses After Terrific Strain
of Strauss S ''Elektra

The audience which Witnessed the first
Performance of Richard Strauss "Elek
ira in the Manhattan Opera House last
night was an unusual one. both as to size
and character. Every seat was filled, and
those who occupied the standing room filled
every available place Throughout the
house there was an undercurrent of ex-
pectancy and interest before the rise of the
curtain that at times swelled to an audible
hum.
Mr. Hammerstein announced that the
total sale OF seats amounted to Sl9.117 30 for
the performance.
At the end of the performance a remark
ahIe demonstration occurred. During the
course of the opera there had been a few
snasrnodic attempts at applause, which
were quickly suppressed but at the fall
% the curtain the audience rose almost
as one person and d storm of cheers and
cries of Bravo swept oTer the house.
The singers. including Nine. Mazarin,
Mile. Gerville- e-Reache, Mile Baron and NJ.
Fuberbeau, were brought repeatedly before
the curtain NJ. de Ia Fuente and the
stage manager NJ. Coini, also shared in
he demonstration, and, finally, Mr.. Ham

smiles. was pulled out before the audience.

continued for full five minutes more. Nine

minutes but though the audience kept
calling for her by name she was unable
to appear again.
II was fully twenty minutes after the
fall of the curtain before the auditorium
was finally cleared. knots of people CON
