at Palace Theater.

London, May 25s-when the King and
Queen visit the aPlace Theater on the
evening Of Monday. June 10. on the oc-
casion Of the royal performance, their
majesties will view a remarkable enter
tainment from a box which Is being
specially built for the purpose. Fol-
lowing the precedent Of other gala per
formances. Mr.. Butt had planned to
erect a commodious lodge in the center
OF the tier Of the dress circle, but II
was found that this would not only in
volve the loss OF 4 very large number
Of seats, but would deprive considerable
more than half the audience Of a view
Of the King and Queen.
After a consultation with his CO.
directors Of the Palace, Mr.. Butt de-
termlned to take out the whole Of the
fronts Of the boxes on the left Of the
house, facing the stage, and to build
out a special box at the side of the
This scheme was submitted to the
King, and when II was pointed out that
by occupying a box constructed in the
manner described their majesties and
their guests would be in view Of prac-
tically the whole of the audience, and,
furthermore, would enable a very much
larger number OF seats to be sold for
the benefit Of the charities, the King
Immediately most graciously adopted

great, noisy factory. where. apparently.
the men were working even at this late
hour. On another corner was a cheap
restaurant with = large electric sign pro-
claiming that the place was open all
night.
A man came out. He wore q short,
ragged overooat over the grfmy clothes
of a workman, and he carried in his
hand a tin cup full OF steaming coffee.
He started across the street to the fac
tory.
Somehow. the sight Of the steam rising
from the coffee was Infinitely cheering.
I pictured his waiting dinner pail with
the coarse but welcome food. How thin
and tired he had looked In the glare OF
the electric sign! But-I almost cried
aloud with anguish: he slipped awkward
ly. on the ice and fell. splashing the
street with the coffee. Some one near me
laughed. The car started, and turned
around to see II he would return TO the
restaurant.
He had reEained his feet and stood
there, shoulders dropping and hands
ciutching his coat about his shiverfng
figure. Then ne bent down slowly. He
was so long IN rising that I thought Of
the poor old cart horses that fall in the
street and lie there subbornIy, too tired
10 get up. Finally he picked up the cup
from the dirty street. looked into II. and
raised II to his lips, evidently to catch
the few drops which were left in II. Then
he walked slowly and painfully back in
the direction Of the factory.

New York Hard to Please.

Vienna May 25.-Carl Burrian has ar
rived here for his season at the Hof-
oper. It is reported that he has sue
ceeded in making peace with the man
agement Of the Dresden Royal Opera.
A Vienna correspondent of the New
York Times, interviewing BurTian on his
arrival for the opera season there,
quotes him as follows:
My Vienna engagement is satisfac-
tory from every point OF view. This
will not interfere, however, with my
duties TO the Metropolitan, for, to US
artists, America, especially New York.
is of the utmost Importance, because
II successful there We may become in
dependent in Europe, both artistically
and economically.
1t is very difficult, however. to achieve
a real success in America. There is no
such thing as a lasting reputation. We
have to work necessarily and conquer
the public again and again.
In my opinion Puccini seems to be
the most favored Of all composers in
New York at present. In consequence
Of this Puccini cult the Metropolitan
Opera, though its artistic management
Is very refined, is making the impress
sion Of regular elaborate Italian
stagione."

Faddma, the Algerian Dancer.

OF all the interesting dssert-foIk that
were brought to this country to appear
in The Garden Of Allah" during its rec
ord-breaking run, none have attracted
more attention than Faddma, the Alger-
ian dancer. II was Faddma's weird dance
in the house Of Tahar the Kabyle that
inspired Robert Kitchens to write one
Of the finest descriptions in the celebrat-
ed book on which the dramatic spectacle
is founded, so that when a party repre-
senting the management went into the
desert Of Sahara last summer to gather
material for the staging Of the play, the
first thing that suggested itself to them
was to persuade Faddma herself to come
to this country to participate in the per-
formance. Faddma reluctantly consent
ed, disliking 10 leave the scenes and
companions Of her childhood, but eaten
up with her woman's curiosity to see

Weber and Fields to Remain To-


Rumor has IL that Weber and Fields
will remain together as a team, and at
the beginning Of next season they will
have a theater in New York for the
presentation OF their weIl-known brand
OF entertainment. The present Jubilee"
at the Broadway has proven immensely
successful. although a house OF smaller
dimensions might have been better suited
to the more intimate portions Of the show.
A theater the size Of the old Music Hall
would, Of course, be out Of the question,
as a considerably larger seating capacity
is required to enable a production Of such
proportions to break even" Just such
a theater, Il is said will be at their dis
posal next season. II was reported some
time ago that both Weber and Fields
were inclined to renew their former close
business relations, which would seem 10
give strength to the present rumor. Pre-
sumably the Jubilee will tour the larger
cities IN the autumn, Of course playing
