HOFEMANN'S TALES
WIN APPRECIATION
. At THE NATIONAL
Large Audience Applauds
Aborn Company's Latest
Production.

Hoffmann, Barbier's and Offenbach's
{ young poet, in the person. of Eugene
/ Battaln, found an attentive and appre-
! c1ative hearing for his Tales at the
! New National last night From pro-
! Iogue TO epilogue, the audience frequent
~ expressed approval of the Aborn
( Company's happy selection.
The popularity of the weIl-known bar
carolle-intermezzo was demonstrated
when the audience insisted upon its re-
petition by the orchestra under Giu-
eeppe Angelini. which did much toward
the success Of the whole performance
Battains singing and acting was
pleasing from start to finish, and his,
OF course, Is by far the fullest role in
the opera. There is no other part which
requires the same sustained effort, yet
Battain's voice was as clear and strong
IN the epilogue as it was in the pro-
logue.
Homer Lind gave a thoroughly artis-
tic Interpretation of the roles of Cope
Illus and DIR. Miracle. The only criticism
is that he did not have enough work in
tnls piere. Miss Emily Barnato was
oecldedly more pleasing in her role OF
olympia. the automaton, than she was
as Antonia. She played the difficult
part of the doll in charming fashion,
but her voice in the role of the last of
Hoffmann's loves was not altogether
pleasing.
The staging Of the piece In the third
act, that Is, where the scene is in Ven
Ice, was particularly effective and
brought out at once hearty applause. 1t
was at the beginning of this act that
EIorence Coughlan, as Giulietta and
Grace Ellsworth, as Nicklausse sing the
barcarolle and Hoffman, follows with a
bacchic song. Menotti Franscona ap-
pears in this act only, singing the role
OF DaparuttO. In addition to her role of
Giulietta Miss CoughIan also sang the
parts Of the Ghost and Nathaniel
Miss Ellsworth was pleasing through
out as Hofmann's friend. William
Schuster sang the parts of Spalanzani
and Crespel; Phil Branson was a very
funny Andreas. Cochenille, and Franz
in turn: George Ogle. sang Luther: John
Mercer sang SchlemieI. and Philip Fem,
Herman
The opera will hold the boards for
the rest of the week. with a Saturday
matinee. The new English translation
by Charles Henry Meltzer is used, al |
though Battain sings the original.

MARY MANNER|NG
WEOS MILLIONAIRE.
HACKETT SHOCKED
Actress Becomes Wife of De-
troit Boat Builder at
Quiet Ceremony.

NEW YORK. June 2.-Mary Manner
ing. whose charm, beauty, and histrionic
ABILITY won her a high position among
American players, has ended all
speculation regarding her matrimonial
Intentions bv wedding Frederick f.
Wadsworth, a Michigan millionaire.
with whose name hers has been linked
since she obtained an interlocutory de-
cree OF divorce from James X. Hackett.
January 5, 1910.
Mr.. Wadsworth is secretary and gene-
raj manager of the Michigan Steel Boet
Company. of Detroit, and director In
other companies. His former wife, who
Senator Julius c. Burrows, divorced him
at Kalamazoo, Mich. on July II last.
Came as Surprise.
Dispatches from Detroit say the an-
nouncement of the marriage was a sur
prise. Even at Mr.. Wadsworth's mag
ni1cent home in Crosse Pointe ignorance
of the wedding was expressed. RelA-
tves in the house said he had tele-
graphed that he would return from New
York Friday and would bring with him
a man, lady, and his two children.
He said nothing about bride, and his
relatives were amazed to learn that he
was married.
Announcement of the wedding came
as a shock to James X. Hackett. Mr.
Hackett, 1t is said, hoped for a recon-
ciliation with his former wife. He frank
ly confessed after the divorce that he
was madly in love with Miss Manner
ing.
Miss Mannering and her fiance mo-
tored down to the CITY Hall an hour
before the closing time. Both seemed
anxious to avoid notice, and they hur-
ried through with their declarations.
She's Thirty-two.
Miss Mannering gave her age as
thirty-two. She stated that she was
born in London, being the daughter of
Richard Friend, and that Mannering
was merely her stage name.
Leaving the city hall the couple mo-
tored to Miss Mannering's apartment,
at 50 Central Park West Here the
wedding was performed at AS o'clock
by DR.. Frank Oliver Hall. pastor Of the
Church of the Divine Paternity.
There were present, besides a dozen
intimate friends. Miss Helen wads-
worth. fourteen-year-o daughter, and
the thirteen-year-ol son of the BRIDE
groom Dainty little Elsie Mannering
stx-year-old daughter of the
bride, was also an interested specta-
tor. She seemed delighted with the
Idea OF having a new papa and a
brother and sister all at once.

Commissioners Decline
To Answer DR.. Radcliffe

The Commissioners declined today to
answer the remarks made by the Rev.
Wallace Radcliffe, pastor of the New
York Avenue Presbyterian Church, con-
cerning the alleged dissertation Of the
Sabbath in Washington. Dr. Radcliffe
was delegate to the recent General
Presbyterian Assembly at Atlantic City,
and at a meeting in his church last
night strongly indorsed the arraignment
OF Washington made by the assembly.
Commissioner Rudolph said this morn
ing that the Commissioners had nothing
to add to the reply made by them to
the charges of the assembly. except to
reiterate the statement that they are
endeavoring to enforce the laws and in
vite the cooperation of every good citi-
zen.
THE excise laws and the regulations
governing moving picture shows are we'll
understood, and If specific violations are
brought to the attention Of the authorl-
ties an investigation follows Immediate
ly. The Commissioners, through the
press and by personal letter. have re-
peatedly asked for the cooperation of
all those who are interested in the main-
tenance of law and order in the Dis
trict."

Improvement of conditions of city life
Many large and important reforms
have already been accomplished in
some cities. 1t is now time that at

sometimes to think thes emo tworth
while, that onlysome spectacular re-
form which causes much comment is
worth going after But a few dozen
smaller reforms may combine to make
city distinctive, to place it in a
class by itself, and this certainly is
no small matter. After all, it is the
small nuisances that annoy US the
most, and they are the most easily
abolished.
In actual everyday life we seem to
understand the value of the comfort

don't take them through noisy ma

people can endure such a racket and
still live, even if such factories mean
much to the volume Of the city's
trade. We show our best features
and attractions, albeit nature pro
vided most of these and man has
only helped a very little in consery-
