DEFENDS THE CLAQUE
Nine. GerviI|e.Reache Says 1t
Plays a Very Useful Part.
"S-S.S.SH" S0RELY NEEDED
Public's Unfortunate Tendency
to Applaud at Wrong Place
Greatly Annoys Singers.

Mime. GervlIle- Reache. who seems 70
favor calling spade a spade has come out
In defence OF the claque, which she refers
to I'm terms OF admiration as well REQ
ognlzed institution in Philadelphia. as well
as In Paris. Berlin and London. not to
mention New York"
The singer doubtless had IN mind the
trouble over the operate cIaque in Phila-
delphis where Ellison Van Hoose. the
American tenor, recently caught Nathan
Arlock in an attempt TO get 1900 from
Miss Maggie Teyte. the young English
soprano OF the Philadelphia Opera Conn
pany.
The various statements relative to tho
claque which have appeared in the daily
press" Nine. Gerville- Reache said yester-
day, contain not a small amount OF sancti-
monious assembling. In Philadelphia, as
well as in Paris Berlin and London, NOT
TO mention New York, Boston and Chicago.
the clauue is a we'll established and well
recognized institution.
while I have never heard OF an artise
being Kissed by the claque, know that the
gentleman mentioned In connection with
the Philadelphia incident and other gem
,iemen in the same line of activity CALI
upon dTlistS w o'''i ''N.'-
services, and that all artists avail tnem'
selves more or less frequently Of such SER
vices.
THE truth IL that the claqus plays a
very useful part during the first PERFORM
ances OF a new work. Many singer mas
been greatly annoyed not so much BY tho
public's indifference as by the publics un-
fortunate tendency TO applaud whenever
there is a pause in an aria with which It
is not familiar. At such times the fanious
'S-s-s-shr OF the professional claque ID
sorely needed TO prevent a positive inters
ruption.
ION the other hand, after the audieree
has caught itself several times applaudins
at the wrong place. 1t may for fear or
making another mistake refrain from mani"
Testing it's enjoyment and let climax fait
absolutely fat. Then the claaue may give
timely signal
Some artists pretend to scorn the clanue.
Those proud persons usually buy blocks OF
seats for obliging friends, whose applause
IL not always timely, is at least enthusiasts"
tic and persistent. Why not be frank aoous
IL and call q spade a spade?

COMPROMISE
ON PRESIDENT PRO tenn.
Regulars Do Not Take to Idea,
However, and Deadlock
May Continue.

The fight over the election of a presi-
dent pro tempore of the Senate is likely
to be renewed Monday afternoon after
an armfstice lasting since Thursday, but
there Is little expectation today that the
deadlock will be broken. All factions, it
Is declared, are standing pat
Suggestions have been made that the
republican regulars might hold another
caucus and nominate another of their
number. and it is argued that, with only
two exceptions, any Of their number
could command the support of the pro-
gressives. Senator Lodge Of Massachu-
setts has been suggested in that connec-
tion. because the, progressives who re-
fused to vote for Senator Gallinger have
intimated that they would vote for Mr..
Lodge.
The regulars, however, will not admit
they are considering another caucus re-
marking that caucus has named SEN
ator Gallinger for the place and it is for
all republicans to support the caucus
nominee. Certainly, they add, they are
not going to give up the fight right at
the start. A mention Of compromise only
brings look of greater determination to
their faces.
