EAST SIDE THEATRE.
Charles Frohman Plans to
Build One IN Riuineton Street.

An East Side theatre, where the working
classes may see the best that is to be had
IN modern drama, acted by a capable COM
pany headed by succession of prominent
stars, is the plan of Charles Frohman. He
believes that such a theatre will increase
the number OF persons who want to see
good plays, and plans are already under
way. for the realization of his idea.
The prices will not exceed so cents a
seat, and the plays to be presented will be
contributed without royalty by playvvrights
Of such prominence as j. II Barrie, Ber-
nard Shaw and Henri Bernstein In many
instances we'll known actors will volunteer
their services III order to keep the venture
self-supporting. Mr. Frehman now has un-
der consideration a building in or near Riv-
ington street which he believes can easily
be converted into theatre, The proposed
playhouse will probably be called the East
Side Theatre, and it is expected that It will
be in operation by next September.
Mr. Frohman left for Cleveland last
night In speaking Of his proposed theatre
before he started, he said:
"A great many new theatres have lately
gone up and a great many old ones also.
Fer the most part I am interested in build.
ing new plays, not new theatres There Is,
however, one more that Intend to build.
namely. the one on Rivington street, in
which the best stars and plays will be given
TO the East Side. The West Side is well
taken care Of by The New Theatre. Now
1 want TO give the East Side the best stars
with plays that have had long runs It will
add one more theatre to the list. but I
think it will make thousands of new thea
tregoers''

DIE WALKUERE" HEARD.
First of Ring Trilogy Produced at the
Metropolitan.

It Is not often that a Ring opera is Of
fered for the delectation of Saturday matt
nee audiences, yet such was the case yes-
terday at the Metropolitan Opera House.
The opera was Die Walktire" the first Of
the Trilogy, and if the audience was not
as large as those that gather on an after
noon sacred to the name Of Puccini, it
was Of good size and what is better. more
than ordinarily appreciative. It was the
operas first performance of the current
season, and 4 performance in every way
worthy of the traditions of the house in
which it was produced.
The only one of the principals new in
the opera to New York was Clarence White
hill, who sang the part of Wotan. There
have been few more majestic figures on the
Metropolitan stage than this young Amer
lean presented yesterday. His imperson-
alton was one that realized much of the
true spirit Of the character, one that pos
sessed both dignity and force and that was
ever finely consistent. III addition, he sang
the music We'll and his enunciation was a
delight-a virtue that is none too frequent
IN German opera in New York.
Nine. Fremstads sieglinde was as ine as
ever, Informed with poetry and passion, and
in appearance truly lovely Nine. GadsRi
was excellent as Brunnhilde, and if the
Siegmund of Mr.. Burrian was not heroic in
figure, it was at least satisfying voca Ily.
Nine. Homer as F'ricka and Mr. BIass as
Iiundins added TO the general excellence.
Mr.. Hertz conducted with incisiveness and
with admirable sympathy for the spirit of
the score. The cast was as follows:
