"CRGSUS" AMATEURlSH;
ROTHSCHILD PLAY FAILS
Well Advertised Production,
with Arthur Bourchier Play
ing, Falls Very Flat.

London. May 23.-Baron Henri de
Rothschilds much disputed and splen-
didly advertised play. "Cresus," pro
duced by Arthur Bourchier at the Gar
rick Theatre last night turned out to
be dismal failure After all the eX-
cursions and alarums. the report OF
which filed so many columns in the
newspapers, the appetites of the critics
were naturally whetted, but "CrGsus'
proved to be not half so dramatic or
exciting as the actions Of the three men
most interested in its fortune.
The only echo of the famous battle
Of the Garrick." when Arthur Bour-
CHER watched his victorious forces
from an excellently conceived strategic
position on the heights OF the Beef
steak Club capture the enemys posi-
tions after much bl. odshed. was the
fact that we saw some signs OF an
army of occupation. COMMISSIONERS
guarded the entrances 10 boxes ana
policemen were stationed at various
points Of strategic importance. MT
Bourchier was on the scene himself
but was struggling with adversely Tor
all his efforts could not make "Cr9sus'
q strong. dramatic or convincing play.
What little story the author mas 10
tell concerns the love of Comte Sorbier
(Crpsus) for Marcelle Ligneray put
the thread of this little romance Is con
ceived In the spirit Of rosewater and
the sentiment is quite submerged in the
large texture Of the dialogue. There is
a huge list Of characters, and every
body talks, from Crusus TO the ser
wants.
All the talk is In vague generaliues'
Sorbier 10 illustrate his wealth. enjoys
a succession Of scenes In which ne
doles out checks 10 people with the
graceful ease of one man giving an
other a cigarette and outwits art deal
ers and blackmailers. All these incl
dents have no direct bearing upon the
outcome Of the play and are not con-
ceived in the true spirit Of the drama.
Indeed. the whole affair is amateurish
and unworthy OF Mr.. Bourchiers pow
ers as an actor.
The play is in three acts. the nrst
OF which takes place in the Comtesse
de Ligneray's boudoir the second III

ITALIANS GIVE CONCERT
Performance by Reorganized
Orchestral Society Peaceful.

The Italian Orchestral Society. whose
troubles under it's former name OF Italian
Philharmonic have been many. succeed
ed finally In giving a concert last night In
Carnegie Hall The audience was not
large, but peace reigned and no recaci-
trant Italian musician exploded q bomb
or even an epithet.
Any effort that may he MADE by Ital-
ians in America to show that their music
is not confined TO the theatre is 10 be
welcomed. and in this respect last nights
concert deserves praise
Yet is 10 be regretted that conditions
were not different The orchestra was
large one and spirited, and the volume OF
tone was admirable. Conductor Sodero
had failed to polish or refine il. The Mar
tucci symphony. a work of considerable
interest, with not a little in II that was
primarily Italian In spirit, though Brahms
and Beethoven at times peeped round the
corners received but a rough reception.
The brass was altogether too much in
evidence. and the strings. especially the
cellos, had in them little sweetness. with
the result that the real beauties OF the
work were obscured. The same fault
must be found with Sinigalia Danza
Piemontese"
There were two sooists-Mme Ciapa-
relli-Viafora and Giuseppe Gaudenzi.
The latter was tenor, the possessor OF
a voice Of natural brilliancy and great
power, who shouted rather than sang the
"Improviso' from Andrea Chenier'
until his breath was quite gone and his
| face very red
Then he tried the Rid Pagliacco,
with the result that he barely managed
! to struggle through II.
In short. such fine natural powers and
such absolute lack of any idea OF how 20
sing have rarely been exhibited Of late
upon any stage in this city. Yet the audi
ence applauded him TO the echo, for was
he not tenore robusto-with a VEN
geance?
