tend in three lines from of 57th street 20

view before the Secretary and proceed
straight through The Narrons TO ses. n has
not yet been settled where the feet is 70 20.
but II is believed that the reserve ships will
proceed TO their home navy Yards, while the
main body Of the fleet will rendezvous off

or in the Hampton Roads.
The ships arc supposed TO be kept in con-
dition TO respond instantly 70 2 call for for

will be taken Of the rendezvous 10 work out
some Of the problems evolved by the Naval

CAST OF THE ONLY SON"
FRITZ SCHEFF AT LYRIC
The Duchess" Deserves to Sue
coed Through Her Efforts.

Miss FRITZ ScheY returned TO New York
last night. She appeared at the Lyric
Theatre in THE Duchess. a three-act
operetta music by Victor Herbert book by
Joseph Herbert and Harry p. Smith. How
often have these three names been grouped
together. But let US talk Of Miss FRITZ
Schin
IL ever an operetta deserved to succeed
through the efforts OF a single star that
operctta IL Tine Duchess Miss Schef ;
powers Of comedy, her archness her chic,
even her tenderness, must have been
revelation 10 many in last nights audi
ence. To be fair 10 the librettists. they
provided her with three or four scenes
that gave her her chance. But that
chance she multiplied hundredfold.
Miss Scheff appeared as Rosita. flower
girl. whose father wished her 10 marry
rich count Tho counts father will not
permit him TO marry any woman not Of
his own rank so he prevails upon Philippe.
Marquis de Montrevle. who is heavily IN
debt TO marry Rosita without seeing her
and then 70 leave the country. Montreyihe
thinks he r. marrying some ono els" and
agrees 10 the plan. but finally discovers
that he has married the girl with whom
he is really I'm love. OF course, all ends
happily.
In a charming little speech a the end Of
the second act Miss ScheG expressed the
hope that she had At last found fit sic
cessor 10 Mile Modistc." Whether she
has or not will not affect the fact that she
has found herself She was in excellent
voice last night. though her top notes were
not those that used to sound from the
Musetta OF days gone by.
But she proved herself a. she never
proved herself before an actress whose
talents would he thrice welcome IN the
present state Of the American dramatic
stage. And many American actresses
might 20 20 school 10 her even tor English
diction. As for the others in tho cast. none
Of them could sing, though George Graham
gave touch OF genuine comedy as the un-
successful suicide. There were pretty
things, too, in the score, but on the whole
It was not the Victor Herbert of old. After
ALL there is inspiration I'm good ibrctty
Why won't Mr.. Herbert realize this?
