Music and Drama
Continued From Page Three)

Hammerstein has been beseiged with offers for his Victoria theater of Varieties, long considered to be one of the most valuable theater proper ties in New York There have been all kinds of rumors as to who would get control of it; but the very latest is the most interesting. None other than Alfred Butt the famous mana ger of the Palace Theater, London, is after it. The war has so upset everything in the theatrical line on the other side of the water that MT. Butt finds himself loaded down with contracts and no place to use his players. so he feels that if he could only get hold of the Victoria he could ship his actors and actresses across the briny and transplant the enter tainments which have been so suc- cessful at the Palace in their entire ty.
 For years managers have tried to institute genuine English music hall entertainment in New York; but they have not succeeded because they didn't know how. It would be inter-
 
 make a success of it, and if he did New York would certainly be the gainer.
 Century Opera Co.'s Opportunity
 The war has completely discom- bobulated and upset almost every thing in operatic circles. True it is announced that the Metropolitan com pany will give its usual season of opera opening with the long promised performance of Carmen with Geral- dine Farrar and Enrco Caruso; but neither the Chicago Philadelphia Co. nor the Boston Opera Co. will be heard this season This state of af- fairs will afford the Century Opera Co. a great opportunity. for both Boston and Philadelphia want opera and they have appealed to the Gen. tury Co to help supply the want.
 The national committee on popu- lar opera which has been making ar engagements for the road tour of the Century company has been given guarantees by wealthy opera lovers in St. Louis, Pittsburg, Cincinnati ana CleNeldnQ WHICH were cOnSlOereu satisfactory and contracts were about to be signed for the appearance of the company in those cities; but now that Boston, Philadelphia and Chica go will have no opera of their own and want to hear this organization, the original plans for the road tour will have to be considerably changed.
 The opera situation in Boston is particularly complicated and there seems small chance of a permanent company ever being located there again. At the present time Con- stantine, the tenor, is trying to or ganize a company to sing there but he has met with nothing but dis couragement. L. E. Behymer of Los Angeles also has a scheme for opera in Boston; but little is known of it and it will probably not be success ful
