Nine. Tetrazzini Reflects.

1T Is to orchestration that composers
Of to-day give up their talents and they
have made wondrous strides In that d.
rection; but that the future will witness
the restoration OF the voice in opera
beautiful singing for its own sake-there
can be no doubt. II is the way of the
world "'' Do you call PuccinFs op-
era, The Girl OF the Golden West mus
ic? It is a splendid melodrama. Mr.. Be-
lasco is q great scenic artist The dra-
matte situations are most effective. The
saloon, the passing post boy. the snow
storm, the shots, the drop OF blood on
the hand. the poker game, the near
lynching made me sit on the edge Of my
chair when first saw the opera But
the music! Outside of the orchestra,
what Is there but q succession OF brok-
en- and disjointed phrases that lead up
to nothing.
The reaction Is sure to come. We
must sooner or later return TO the old
classic models. Not slavishly. Always
something is gained with time. Never
can be restored the absolute simplicity
shall say the barrenness?-of orches-
tration in the older operas. We have
learned better. But the voice must re-
sain its proper place, and when the de-
nland becomes sufficiently imperative
composers will be found to respond TO II
and singers to rival those OF the past.

plot-just the right amount OF plot to
carry the music and comedy business.
Baron Dauvray, played admirably by
Stanley G.. Forde, is a French scientist,
who has Just been admitted to the Acad-
emy as a reward for his studies in he
redity. The action Of the operetta causes
him to find out something new about
that most perplexing question, and also
about his immediate family. On an ex-
cursion TO the Moulin Rouge he discovers
his daughter, her fiance. his son, and the
young woman to whom he has awarded
the prize for modesty. Having gone
there himself without desiring his revel
to be known, he is rudely surprised by
the result, as are all the others, and the
confusion that entails is OF a hilarious
nature.
"The Grain of Dust
Those who had read David Graham
Phillips book were disappointed In the
dramatiEatfon of The Grain of Dust
by Louis Evan Shipman, as enacted at
the Criterion Theater, with James K.
Hackett in the title role. The actor
manager was as much at home in his
part as is a crimson-clad woman in an
Enclosure with a wild bull
Hackett, as Frederick Norman, was
forced to impersonate, as best he could,
gagged to a beautiful heiress. jilts her on
his wedding eve and marries his stenog-
rapher. The father of his former fiancee
conspires with associates TO ruin Nor
man. When total disaster is impending
his wife leaves him. In the end success
and his wife return TO Norman at the
same time, and he has the big captains
of industry at his mercy.
Can any one who has seen Hackett-a
aFa1raaaHper In,
part: No; and he doesn't succeed. Not
only is he poorly equipped for the part,
but the part itself IS a crudely drawn
one, with all the wonderful psychology
and philosophy of David Graham Phillips
lost through the efforts of the playwright
to condense that which could not be con-
densed except by a genius without losing
its forcefulnesS and appeal.
Pauline Neff, Izetta Jewel, and Frazer
Coulter do well in their support Of Mr..
Hackett, considering the handicaps Of
the play.

DRAMATIsr vs.. EDITOR.

An English playwright and an Ameri-
can editor sat opposite each other lately.
said the editor: MY prescription for a
successful play is 80 per cent optimism
and 10 per cent pathos." said the play
wright: There can be no such sharp
division; no play was ever so built. And,
anyhow, what IS optimism II IT isn't
merely a blind belief that tomorrow will
be better than to-dayZ''
And the editor did not seem to answer
when he said: Il know a poet who in an
unromantio age mas sung his fame
around the world. His simple code is
the ancient one OF always doing hardest
the thing one can do best. To the poet
that thing is song. To you song is good
playwriting; to me it Is getting out a
good paper. To ali Of, US It Is the JOY
OF achievement because right achievement
Is truth and truth is melody-the ring
OF fine workmanship: thing not de-
pendent on blind belief. but on a stead
fast realization that there win always
be another tomorrow for another try.
call that practical optimism"

From the Drama League.

With the last bulletin of the Drama
League came a list of recent English
plays likely to be seen in America and
the length Of their runs In London. AS
the list was apparently prepared some
time ago, these figures are largely incor-
rect Many Of the plays have already
been acted here-'Passers-by," The
Witness for the Defense" "a Single
Man" "A Butterfly on the Wheel" and
Bunty Pulls the Strings"
In the other dramas listed for produc-
tion the optimism Of the compiler is at
least refreshing. They include Mr.. Msse-
fields Man." bitter tragedy of pro-
vincial life, only too little popular in Lon
don; The Whip" a Drury Lane melo-
drama of English horse racing and ItaI-
ian earthquakes; ''The Dark Lady OF ths
Sonnets," an EliZabethan skit by Ber-
nard Shaw; Grace" the first success
full comedy by Mr.. Vaughan that Mr..
Frohman has not Immediately announced
for production here; Preserving Mr..
Panmure," by Mr.. Pinero, soon to be
acted in America; Bernard Shaw's Get
ing Married" highly improbably Of pro-
Besier, in which Mrs. Fiske Is TO an
pear. and 'Fannle's First Play an
nounced for production.
The Drama League has issued a card
giving the league idea in a nutshell. .
It reads:
ITO improve the general quality Of
plays I'm the theater by attending and
commencing good plays whenever thew
are produced. To build up permanent
audiences, appreciative Of good drama.
through study classes, reading circles
and lectures To aid the existing ma
chinery Of the theater in every way pos
sible in increasing the usefulness Of
that institution; to make OF the drama
the most intimate. most comprehensive.
and most democratic medium for pic
turing life and advancing civilization"

Mr.. Faversham Goes to London.

Every summer William Faversham re-
turns to his country house in England,
Yet though he was born in Great Brit
ain. he has not appeared on the London
stage since he rose to prominence on
the American. Now. however. comes an
announcement that he is to take THE
Faun'' TO London in the spring. The
clearness Of Mr.. Faversham's diction. his
ready assurance and ease. and the spon-
taneity of his acting should please the
English public. THE Faun'' itself Is a
comedy OF English life written by an
American who has spent most Of his re-
cent years in England. II is an aus
picious combina ton for the success Of an
actor who thoroughly deserves It.

CHAPTER XIII.
Bob yancy Finds Himself.

Mr.. Yancy awoke from a long
dreamless sleep; heavy-lidded, his
eyes slid open. For moment he
struggled with the Adds and ends OF
memory, then he recalled the fight at
the tavern, the sudden murderous at
tack, the fierce blows Slosson had
dealt him, the knife thrust which had
ended the struggle. Therefore, the
bandages that now swathed his head
and shoulders: therefore, the need
that he should be up and doing-tor
where was Hannibal?
Suddenly . shadow fell obliquely
across the foot Of his narrow bed,
and Cavendish, bending his long body
somewhat, thrust his head In at the
opening. He found himself looking
into . pair Of eyes that for the first
time In many . long day held tAe
light Of consciousness.
'TIow are you, stranger" he de-
manded, in q soft drawl.
"Where am II" The words were

But Polly had heard Cavendish
speak, and the murmur Of Yancy's

peared beside her husbands.

him. Its been right smart of q

They saw Yancy's eyes widen with
q look of dumb horror.

Quintard lands; what do you know
about Quintard himself?" continued
Murrell.
"He was a rich planter: lived In

when he was in congress and got him
to invest In land here. They had
some colonization scheme on foot

"Oh, he held on to that"
"Quintard has been dead two years,

death, but what relation he was to
the old man no one knew. Onhand.
Tom. I'd say that by getting hold OF
the boy Fentross expects to get hold
of the Quintard land.'
That's likely" said Ware; then
struck by a sudden idea, he added,
Are you going to take all the risks
and let him pocket the cash? II it's
the land he's after. the stakes big
enough to divide"
HE can have the whole thing and
welcome. I'm playing for bigger
stake" His friend stared at him in
astonishment I'm licking a specula-
ton into shape that will cause me to
be remembered while there's white
man alive in the mississippi Valley!
Have you heard what the niggers did
at Hayti?"
you let the niggers alone; don't
you tamper with them," said Ware.
He possessed profound belief in
Murrelps capacity. He knew how the
latter had shaped the uneasy popula-
tion that foregathered on the edge Of
civilization to his own ends, and that
what he had christened the Clan had
become an elaborate organization.
disciplined and flexible to his ruthless
will.
Look here. what do you think 1
have been working for-to steal q
few niggers? That furnishes us with
money. but you can push the trade
too hard and too far. The planters
are uneasy. The Clans got to deal a
counter blow or gorout Of business.
Between here and the gulf" he
made q wide sweeping gesture with
his arm. Il am spotting the country
with my men; there are two thousand
active workers on the rolls OF the
Clan, and as many more like you,
Tom-and Fentress-on whose friend
ship can rely"
"Sure as God, John Murrell, you
are overreaching yourself! Your
white men are all right, they've got
to stick by you; If they don't they
know it's only question Of time UNI
til they get knife driven into their
ribs-but niggers-there isn't any
real fight in niger, if there was
they wouldn't be here"
"Yet you couldn't have made the
whites in Hayti believe that" said
Murrell, with a sinister smile.
Ware, feeling the entire uselessness
of argument, uttered string OF i'm
precautions, and then fell silent.
well, how about the girl, Tom?"
asked Murrell at length. Listen to
me, Tom. I'll take her away, and
