THE SYMPHONY SOCIETY.

circumstances, largely untoward, made
the concert of the Symphony Society at
The New Theatre last Sunday afternoon a
grievous disappointment to the friends of
the society and the lovers of orchestral
music The chief number of the programme
was Beethoven's Ninth Symphony which
was in many respects ineffective. Last
night the concert was repeated in Car
negie Hall 10 the great benefit of all con-
cerned including the composer of the work
on which interest chiefly centred. Meteor
illogical conditions were worse, but acousti-
cal were better, and Mr.. Walter Damrosch
and his admirable band entered upon the
performance of their task with finer feel
ing and better understanding. Mr.. Dam
rosch repeated his experiment OF last year
Of putting the solo parts of Beethoven
work into the care of a fourfold quartet
under the mistaken idea that thus the diff
fcuIties which beset this feature OF the
symphony might be overcome. But four
sopranos have no greater range or breath
ing capacity than one, and by employing a
smaller chorus in place of the four solo
singers the contrast and poeticai purpose
aimed at by the composer is destroyed.
The device cannot be commended Before
the symphony, after the overture TO
.'Tannhauser' had been played, Mr..
sydney Biden sang Beethovens song, An

KINGS ALTER EGO
Prince of WaIes Relieves HIS

When the Prince OF Wales succeeds 10
TIE throne he VIII be able 70 take UP the
business Of state with g far greater cegree
OF facility than did his father at the time
OF his accession.
For whereas the late Queen Victoria kept
her eldest son aloof from all matters OF
state. retaining the reins OF government In
her own hands with such cesree OF e&-
clusiveness as TO almost SAVIOR or Jealousy,
King Edward has for several years been
sssociatins his heir apparent with the du-
ties of sovereignty. Thus the Prince OF

attends TO matters Of routine and of
detail. relieving the monarch OF a large
amount Of work and trouble. Moreover,
in au important matters, frequently in
interviews with the ministers, the King
calls his son into consultation. So that the
prince knows exactly where the King
stands in every pending issue and is thor
ougflIy initiated into al his fathers views
snd policies.
Il is thanks 70 this that the King is able
70 be away from London so much and that
he viii BE- able TO enjoy his holiday at
EIa--itz for which southern French resort
he is leaving this week When ne came TO
the throne ne knew virtually nothing Of the
routine business Of his mothers govern
rueut he had never been taken into her
confidence. and during the first few weeks
Of his reign was obliged constantly to con
suit his youngest sister. Princess Henry of
Battenberc. who had been her mothers
constant companion and associate, and who
knew far more about her methods OF carry
in- on the duties OF sovereignty than him
sell. In fact, the confusion was very great,
especially III view Of the sudden accumula-
ton Of arrears Of business during the few
DAYS Of the late Queens fstal illness
Indeed the only matters with which the
King was acquainted were the broad out
lines Of the foreign policy Of the govern
1neat, and this knowledge vas entirely due
20 the fact that Mr.. Gladstone when
Premier had taken upon himself without
the approval OF the late Queen, 10 give
orders that copies Of all the important dis
rarcbes reaching the Foreign Office from

Thereto should be transmitted TO the then
Prince Of Wales for his Information. Queen
Victoria did not care TO go 10 the length Of
putting a stop 70 the practice, which was
kept I'd by the subsequent administrations.
King Edward was always grateful 10 Mr.
Gladstone to- this action on his part and
never neglected an opportunity of showing
his consideration and warm friendship for

IRVING PLACE THEATRE
Der Meister. -

The programme of musical comedy at the
by the production OF a new German COM
edy in the IbseE manner entitled Der
Meister C'The Master'D. The author is
Hermann Bahr. and his piece deals with the
downfall OF philosophical surgeon of high
attainments who tries to regulate the life
about him on principles Of reason and
equity, uncolored by affection, passion or
human sympathy. He talks of love as an
alteration. and thinks himself strong
enough to control others by an appeal to
the intelligence, fortified by the play OF a
somewhat cynical humor. When his wife
deceives him he declares that he bears her
nc i'll will and refuses to proceed against
her or to call to account the interferer with
his domestic happiness. He outrage2 the
conventional ideas of his brother by such
unheard-of generosity. But in the end his
desire to do justice and charity fails either
prevail of any member of his household
The play is in part satire on the condl-
tons generally presented on the stage when
an injured husband is called on TO deal with
an erring wife. But there is more vitality
to II than is possible to mere satire. 1t
has a firm grip on realities and is dranati-
cally vivid and interesting Exceptionally
good acting was done by Gustav Omar,
the Master; Oskar Penke. Fritz Sterler,
Gustave Hartzheim and Miss Eva Speier.

A BALLET AT THE METROPOLI-
TAN.

There was quite an unusual exhibition OF
interest in the Russian dancer, Anna Paw
Iowa on Monday night, when she effected
her entrance on the American stage at the
Metropolitan Opera House. The night
chosen was auspicious, but the manage

{yvhere that element Of social life which is
associated with the opera does not begin

fit TO preface the ballet with an opera
which lasted until II O'Clock, or later The
opera was ''Werther," that long-draWn
story OF well conducted person. who ac-
cording TO Thackeray, though she saw the
body OF her dead lover carried past her on

THRONG AT THE OPERA
Benefit of Pension and Endowment
Fund Brings Out Varied Bill.

One Of the largest audiences of the season
gathered last night at the Metropolitan
Opera House at the benefit for the pension
and endowment fund. Perhaps OF chief
interest was the second appearance of the
two Russian dancers, Mile. Anna PavlOwa
and Michael NIordkine. The wonderful
skill and exquisite grace Of the two dancers
won instant and enthusiastic recognition
from the immense audience. a recognition
that will probably continue with future
audiences.
The programme opened with the first act
Of "PagIiacci." sung by Nine Destinn and
NM. Caruso. Amato. Gilly and Bada- Then
came a dance by Mile Pavlowa and MI
Mordkine, followed by the fourth act or
"Trovatore" with Mines. Gadskl and
Homer and NM. Martin, Gilly and Audlslo
The three closing numbers were the second
act Of ''Tosca," with Miss Farrar and MN
JadIowker and Scott, a solo dance by
Mile. PavIowa, and the last act Of La
Gioconda,'' with Mines. Norta and Nett
schik and NM. Caruso, Anato and De
SegUroia.

AN ARTISTS TREASURES.
The Print Collection Left by the Late
Otto Fl. Bacher.

AT the gallery OF the Anderson Auction
Company there will be sold tonight the col
lection Of etchings, drawings and other SOU
veniFs formed by the late Otto IL Bacher
It is not, perhaps. q collection" II the con-
ventional sense of the term We nave here,
rather. the miscellaneous gatherings of an
artists career. the things which little by
little accumulate in his studio for no other
reason than that they give him pleasure
The connoisseur of prints searching for ex-
traoTdinary impressions or rare states,
may not be especially attracted by t1,s sale.
On the other hand, it offers an unusual OPP
portunity to the collector who is on the
lookout for items having a certain personal
significance
MI Bacher, who died in 1903 was a
member OF that group of Americans assc-
ciated with artistic events in Nun oh and
Venice in the late 70's. He came under the
influence OF Frank Duveneck, that rainter
Of character and ability whose art las long
been held in high honor by his fellows
though 10 the public az large his name is
to-day comparatively unfamiliar, and he
was also intimate with Whistler In the
book which he published not long before ne
died With Whistler in Venice" he wildly
described his relations with the master
The two worked together over tn. printing
of some Of Whis:ler's etchIngs, and in other
ways also M. Bacher gained interesting
impressions of remarkable personality in
very characteristic period. Thu present
exhibition revives in some sort the atmos-
phere Of those old Venetian days There
are pieces IN It which, quite spart from
their intrinsic qualities, have kind Of sem
un1ental value, enabling Us TO touch hanGs
through them with a memorable company
Of artists.
There are etchings and Autographs by
Whistler, there is an amusing little pastel
by him, there is q photograph of his famous
portrait OF his mother. inscribed by him.
and there are divers letters and other relics
Besides these there are q number Of etch-
ings by Duveneck the late ROBERT Blum
and other comrades Of Bacher's, and there
is q group of Haden's prints y few old
masters are included, and there are Of
course, many OF Bacher's own cIerer etch-
ings. He was fortunate in some of the lit
tie odds and ends that came MS way
Among them are couple Of fragments in
water color by Blum, charming examples Of
a brilliantly gifted map and striking nude
study in pencil by Bastien-Lepage In
short, as has been said this is a collection
making q strong appeal 10 the amateur who
prizes studio remembrances. The sale
ought 70 be well attended.

London, March 1.-The triple bill at
tracted a large audience at the Roper

with exceptional enthusiasm. The most
interesting number from a purely liter
arv point of view was George Meredith's
unfinished comedy, THE Sentimental

designed the quaint costumes and Nor

comedy of manners, after the style OF
Moliere, and revealed the comic spirit

Eva Kirlick, Fay Davis and eight other
players.
There were two one-act plays by j. M

of bondage due to self-indulgence IN
stimulants and an inherited faint. and
Twelve Pounds, Look" a bright and
highly entertaining comedy, with the
egotism of a highly successful man as
the subject for caricature.
Lena Ashwell had mediocre part in
the first piece, but gave a delightful ex-
hibition OF brilliant comedy style in the
second Barrie play. Edmund Gwenn and
