 Tomorrow night will see the first big novelty of the opera season when Strauss's Der Rosen Kavalier" will receive it's first presentation at the Metropolitan Opera House.
 This opera has created a great sensa ton and caused no end of criti- cisIn wherever it has been heard l commenting on it's forthcoming production MT. II. E. Krehbiei of the Tribune finds a good opportunity to air his opinions of Strauss and Straussisms. He does not like either one or the other.
 The plot of Der Rosen Kavalier' is not clean and the score is eX- tremelv noisy MT. Krehbjel says that he cannot understand why if they charged $10 seat for "Salome' which was dirty, they do not charge $2O per seat for Der Rosen Kavalier' which is infinitely more dirty. He says that Strauss is what the Ger mans call d -PantoffeIneId"- the hero of his wife's slipper; but that his dramatic poses grow naughtler ana naughtIer every day for business req sons. Mr. KrehbieI says that there is no question of art involved in s;trauss's york it is only a ques- tion of financial emolument. on a recent visit to New York Strauss told one Of it's best known musicians that he would polish stoves if only the occupation could be made sui ficiently remuneratiVe; and he writes accordingly.

 In the Pleasure Seekers at the Winter Garden there is a VerE realis- tie winter scene with toboggan slide and blanket-coated girls and bows climbing up and sliding down. which has made tremendous hit. Now the.- are to add new scene in winch the stage will be covered with real ice and Alfred and Eigret Ness will do a dance on regulation ice skates.
 There have been other acts where ska ting was done on real ice, in Miss Innocense for instance: but nothing on the huge scale that this will ne done has been attempted before and New York is all ready for ne" thrill
