It's a nice. safe, comfortable state of
mind that finds pleasure in the doings of
little children and fairies, rejoices in
their simple delights and shares their
thrills and fears when witches and hob
COLLINS intrude on the picture with their
bad manners and altogether ugly point of
view. Fancy theaters in New York filled
for months and months-matinees and
ones. to hear an opera the theme of
which was years ago relegated only to
absorption by the Juvenile mind, and that
at holiday time.
But that has been the history there
and elsewhere of "Hansel and Gretel'
Humperdinck's charming opera, present
ed last night for the first time in this
CITY by the Aborn English Grand Opera
Company at the National Theater after
it's Broadway success, where the critics
acclaimed it. as delightful, dainty and
delicate, and where thousands enjoyed
its smooth-going melodies and its pretty
glimpses of how they act in fairyland
when mortals break in.
The story is that Of the Babes in the
Wood" retold and embellished with Ger
man folk songs, and angel tableaux fitted
in by Engebert Humperdinck, with an
orchestra almost too elaborate, except in
think of it. that is what makes it
grand opera.
In the cast there was Ada Meade, sweet
voiced dimple checked and light as down
in very fiat-heeled ankle ties; Anna Hull
as Sandman and Dewman, singing well
each part, and Elaine de Selem as Ger
trude, the broom makers wife and mother
of the children. The latter part calls
for energy and expression, and both were
in evidence.
Edith Bradford as Hansel was in good
form as to voice, and movements which
any boy would recognize as natural, but
If her trousers could be coaxed just
little lower down. say a shade or so
past the traditional garter
line these neither garments would not
distract attention SO often from her voice
and facial expressions.
Morton Adkins in the role of Peter,
the broommaker, had q rollicky part de-
spite his patches and rags, and sang it
WELL Clifton Webb in his many colored
robe was the witch. No pretty lines are
allotted his part, but the broad comedy
touches were well done.
"Cavaleria Rusticana' was the last
half of full evenings entertainment,
and Mascagnis one-act opera fell on
pleased ears. In the cast were Bertha
Shalek as SantuzZa, Anna Hull as
Lola, Elaine de Sellem as Mama Lucia,
Eugene Battain as Turridu, and Morton
Adkins as Alto. Carl Nicosia conducted
both operas, and in response to much ap-
plause repeated the intermezzo-that won

Players at Polls Theater last night, a
wholesome and enjoyable production. The
acting was clever and the company was

comedy was received by the audience was
marked by many curtain calls. Written
by Winchell Smith and a quick success

MARSHALL HAS NOTHING
TO SAY ABOUT NEW PLAN

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 22.-Gov-
ernor Thomas r. Marshall, Vice
President-elect, when informed of
Mr.. Carnegie's plan to pension the
presidents, said:
II am neither an ex-President nor
a widow of an ex-President, and
have nothing to say about such a
plan. If the proposal extended to
yice-presidents l might prick up my
ears and TAX some interest in the
| matter"
perhaps you might be interested
as a probable future President 1t
was suggested.
"Oh, / think not" he replied.
Mrs. Benjamin Harrison, of 1920
| North Delaware street. the widow of
| ex-President Benjamin Harrison,
hesitated to discuss Mr.. Carnegie's
plan.
IT do belieev that former presidents
should be able to devote their lives
after retirement from the presidency
to the service of the nation" Mrs.
Harrison said. 1T seems to me that
a pension from the government
should be provided for former presi-
dents"

CARNEGIE PLAN (
ST|RS CAPITAL
Public Men Declare Pensions
for ex-Presidents an
Insult. Z

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-Presf-
LEM Taft declines to make any COM
ment on the provision of the Carne-
gle Corporation to pension future ex-
President and their unmarried Wild
ows. MIR. Taft was sitting in the
White House library with his family
when he was told of the action Of
the corporation. He sent word
through Rudolf Forster, of the White
House staff, that until he had re-
ceived official information on the
subject he felt that he should say
nothing about it.
Champ Clark, speaker of the House
of Representatives, was brief in his
comment. II don't want to talk about
it; 1t wasn't worth talking about"
said he. But he laughed when he
said it.
Hoke smith Indignant.
II think it is a piece of impudence
on his part to suggest such a thing,
and a reflection on the people that 1t
should be considered said Senator
Hoke Smith, of Georgia, who was a
member of President Cleveland's Sec
ond cabinet.
IileTt WAS d lduSH oASi pht tNiS
phone when Senator Gore was told OF
the proposal to pension future
Presidents.
II don't see any good to come 70
the people of the United States from
such a thing as that" he said.
"Grover Cleveland, to my mind, put
it right when he said that all there
was to do for ex-Presidents was to
treat them just as we would any
good citizen. l do not think Mr..
Carnegie's pension viii reflect any
credit on our ex-President's, and / am
not sure that an ex-President who
would accept such a pension would
receive or be entitled to the contin-
ued respect of the people of the
United States. The idea of giving a
pension TO the widows of ex-Presi-
dents to secure to the country the
benefit of their knowledge and ex-
perience in public affairs is possibly
a joke, but not a very good one.
Opinions OF Others.
Other public men declined to talk
for publication. but they said pri-
vately that they were not in accord
with the action of the Carnegie
Foundation trustees. One of them.
who stipulated that his name should
not be used, gave his opinion in
these words:
"Pd rather have our ex-Presidents
go to the poorhouse than have them
dependent on the bounty of Andrew
| Carnegie"
The tone of the views expressed by
| Speaker Clark and Senators Smith
and Gore is reflected in much of the
discussion in Washington.
