the most pretentious of all their
splendid musical attractions. This ar

cover Heinrich Reinhardt, composer
of The Spring Maid and they have
now uncovered another musical marvel
in the impossibly named Bruno Gran

the youngest of all Viennesse waltz

to America to witness the translated

is spoken of as being ambitious as

by Paul A. Rubens, which enjoyed q
years success at the Gaiety in Lon
don and corresponding reign of
prosperity in New York.
Real grand opera top notes and a
comedian in a combination hobb1e
trouserette effect are so successfully
sprinkled over "The Balkan Princess
that this newest and somewhat differ
ent comic opera is scoring a big hit on
tour as it did in London and New
York. 1t is a comic opera with a plot
and dramatic story, which, sans music,
is still Of sufficient interest to stand
on its own merits as novel. This to
begin with Is somewhat different from
the average musical melange. In the
second place 1t is comic opera with
genuine prima donna, "by many
leagues above the average light opera
singer on the American stage" and
in the third place, 1t is an ambitious
musical composition, decidedly above
the average for snap and contagion.'
If there is acting in comic opera, there
must be a plot.
The Balkan Princess" has to choose
husband before the end of the play
or abdicate. There is certain young
and good looking grand duke, who is
opposed to monarchy, and especially
women monarchy, and 1t becomes her
gentle task to subdue him to ruling
the people with her. The princess has
choice from among six grand dukes.
Five Of them appear at the appointed
time, but the sixth, a handsome and
seditious one, does not put in an ap-
pearance. He has been the chief figure
of the gay goings-on at a certain Bo-
hemian restaurant, and has contributed
a number of reasonable articles to the
yellow Balkarian press. The princess,
incognito, seeks him out in his haunts.
The duke, by the way, is a most cap
ii ating chap and sets more feminine
hearts f1uttering than does the Russian
dancer, Mordkin. The second act opens
with an unusual scene of revelry by
night, constantly delighting the eye
with Kaleidoscope effects-a scene full
of daring dances, flashing costumes,
spirited music, stockings that are only
an embroidered excuse for the kind
that mother used to wear, and the
comedy moves with zest. Upon Vera
Rossmore's shoulders Is placed the re-
sponsibility of making this Bohemian
re5taurant scene attractively wicked.

seductive department partially de-
scribe the vision of this female Be-
Aemian, clad in diaphanous draperies;
and her artistry makes 1t appar-
emily no burden at all. for she
acts the cafe queen, who knows
all the tricks Of the trade. The
duke dances with the princess the
whole evening, neither aware OF the
others identity. The duke proposes a
toast to the charming stranger, when
Sofia, filed with jealousy, suggests
their usual toast" and the duke re-
spends ITO the downfall of the Prin-
ces Stephania." Revealing her iden-

orders the dukes arrest. After va

was clean this morning when the con-

time since last Tuesday noon. when
Chairman Mack of the democratic ma

The cleaning-up process of yesterday
and this morning, however, swept many
tons Of presidential booms In the shape
of circulars and handbills and posters and
pamphlets, out OF the hall. Every day
would see some printed appeals to dele
gates and visitors, carefully distributed
on the chairs in the armory or handed
directly to those gathered in the conyen-

whether or not there really was floor

Mr.. Clark then quotes at length from
the statement which Mr.. Bryan read
in the convention, and continues:
although Mr.. Bryans words are
shrewdly chosen to avoid making di-
rect charge upon me. the implication
is plain It is that If elected Presi-
dent OF the United States I would con-
slider myself obligated to those whom
he mentions. and that l would be un-
der the control OF those interests It
would be unheconsing in one holding

CLARK

BALTIMORE, July 1.-Speaker Clark
issued statement last night prompted
by letter sent to him by Senator Stone
lin which the latter set forth that a ma
jority of the delegates had eight times
voted for Mr.. Clark's nomination and
that the presidents Of sixty years have
been that the man receiving majority
should have the choice ratified by the
technical requirement OF two-thirds. With
the assurance Of the Speaker that he
will not under any circumstances permit
the withdrawal of his nomination, the
Stone letter pledges him the support or
his friends on every ballot hereafter to
be taken in the convention.
The Speakers letter follows:
Speaker Clark's Statement.
| Replying to the communication of my
supporters forwarded to me by you. L
beg to say that in ordinary circum-
stances 1 would be the last to encourage
any movement which might tend to Gre
ate a deadlock in a democratic national
convention; and thereby, perhaps. I'M
peril the standing Of our party IN the
estimation Of the country. l believe that
| I am speaking the exact truth when l
say that no personal interest would weigh
| with me for one moment as against my
lifelong devotion to our party. II ma
| jority of the delegates had not declared
their preference for me as their candi-
date I could not entertain your proposal.
The fact, however. that they have done
so on eight successive ballots creates
| an exceptional condition which surely

| of our party was violated when the con-
vention refrained from ratifylns by

Holds Bryan to Blame.
This was done. according to my I'M
j derstanding, at the instigation of Mr.
Bryan, who successfully solicited the CO.
operation of others In an effort to pre-
vent such ratification. Mr.. Bryan set
forth his reasons for pursuing this course
In his speech explaining his own change

HE declared that was candidate at

sive, and that. upon this understanding
he was elected a delegate and instructed
to vote for me in the national conven-

then, and had been regarded for years.
as a progressive by the democrats OF
| Nebraska and by Mr.. Bryan
What has since transpired to convince
| Mr.. Bryan that, though in his judgment
| a progressive only two months ago. and
even only one week ago, l am not pro-
i gressive now? Have I suddenly proved
