Paris, May 14.-Bob Chanler, thu
happy and successful suitor Of Mile
Lima Cavalieri. Is in Paris "incognito"
this week. He Is staying at the Grand
Hotel, where I found him with M
Conor. Nine. Sarah Bernhardts man
ager. He boarded the Kronprinz VIII
helm last week under tho assumed
name of Stanley. and after an UNI
eventful journey reached the boule-
Yards on Monday last
"Mademoiselle Cavalieri cabled to
me to come over" said the illustrious
and gifted Mr.. Chanler. "she was
then in Russia, where believe she
has had a great success. hope to
see her back in Paris in three days. I
have no idea yet when we shall be
married. Mile. Cavalieri must go to
South America. you know. before that.
ANYHOW. 1 am waiting for her."
Since his arrival Mr.. Chanler has
visited the Salon dos Artistes Fran
Gals. where one Of his gildcd aluminum
works Is hanging. He has dined witt,

Paris to Get New York Touch.
| Music lovers. foreigners as well al
natives. are beginning to take an
eager interest In the approaching
opera season given by artists from
tho New York Metropolitan Opera
House. A dress rehearsal Of the frat
opera. aida" will take place on May
!, ~ at the Chatelet, and the public
premiere OF aida" will be given on
the evening OF May 81, with a cast IN
Guiding Mile. Destinn. Louise Homer.
:. Anato or Scott and Caruso. Toscanini
will conduct. Mile, Destinn's connec-
4 ton with the season may be limited
I to one appearance.
For weeks the boulevard advertisers
have been booming caruso. on whom
] the Chateiet management depends
! chiefly for the success of its daring
| venture. Six works. all italian, are
promlsed-"Aida," "Pagliacci." "r Cav
alleria Rusticana.. "otello," 'Manon
/ Lescaut" and "Falstaff."
On May Is Caruso will sing at a
| charitable festival given at the Troca-
dero His generosity will doubtless
help dispel some soreness caused by
his real or imaginary ill-treatment Of
i the French artists in New York.
soreness aggravated by the grave I'M
certainty as to the prospeets OF the
: singers engaged by Hammerstein. Ac-
number at least twenty-five.
Gatti-Casazza. with his bride, Nine.
Aida. and Toscanini are hearing operas
] here. though the chances of new
;. French works being added to the Net
ropolitan repertory seems slender.
4 Toscanini, however. has fallen under
4 the spell of Duca's beautiful and some
times original "Arinne ct Barbe Bleue."
Il work which forms q connecting link
| between the "Pe1las and Melisande" OF.
| Debussy and the "Parsifal." Christian"
and Meistersinger'' OF Wagner.
Rival salomes are drawing well at
| the Grand Opera and the Gazette. which
is now the Municipal Opera House.
| Andreas DIPPED is expected from
| the Riviera. whore he has been help
ing nurse Mrs. DIPPED back to health.
Hammerstein II Sadly Idle.
Oscar Hammerstein's arrangement
with the Metropolitan. as learn from
| Gatti-Casazza. precludes the once
| mighty manager OF the Manhattan
! from giving grand opera anywhere In
! North America for the next ten years.
\ but leaves him free to educate tho
| masses OF Buenos Ayres, or arranging
/ preliminary seasons In Rio Janelro.
When I saw him last Hammerstein
was looking grim and miserable. His
old buoyancy had deserted MIN, ana
| his hat looked tragical.
The following prominent Americans
have engaged boxes for the Chate1et
4 opera season: Robert Bacon. the Amer
| lean ambassador. Mrs. w. K. Wander
bilt Princess Colorado Mansfield. Mrs.
Margaret Postley. J. Pierpont Morgan.
