OPERA ON DISC RECORDS.
American Artists Well Represented
In Months New Recordings.

The present strong movement toward
opera in English in this country receives
valuable reinforcement in the issuance
of the first exclusive records by Walter
wheatley. the famous American tenor.
who is at present starring with the Cen
tury Opera Company of New York.
This splendid young singer. whose
strikingly beautiful quality of voice has
already earned him the unbounded es-
TEEN OF all his American audiences, is
graduate from the comic opera stage.
Finding this field too limited for his rap
idly developing powers. Mr.. Wheatley
went to Europe and was at once recog-
nized in Milan as one of the most prom
Using Of the young artists. His debut
was made in Convent Garden and sue
cess assured from that time His cap
ture OF the Italian public followed upon
his English triumph. and when Messrs.
Aborn were looking over the European
field for the best English-spesking sing
ers Mr.. Wheatley's engagement became
inevitable. His first records consist of
four arias from three OF the best known
operas-Wallace's Mariana BiZet's
Carmen" and Puccini's La Boheme."
Other American artists OF note are
represented in the new January list OF
Columbia double-disc records. There are
two selections. both in English. by
Carolina White. the great prima donna
of the Chicago Philadelphia Opera Com
pany. and two great oratorio arias by
Reed Miller. The latter, one of the best
known of American tenors, sings IF
With All Your Hearts" and Then
Shall the Righteous Shine Forth" from
Mendelssohn's Elijah" His interpreta-
ton OF these works reveals Mr.. Miller at
his best.
Lima Cavslieri. probably the most
press-agented woman on the opera stage
today. has returned to America this sea-
son to fill an important engagement with
the Boston Opera House. Lima Cava-
lieri's voice has all of its former magnet
ism. expressiveness and beauty OF tone.
as is well evidenced in her newest re-
cordings. The double-disc featured in
the new list carries the old street song Of
Naples. 20 Solo Mio." on one side and
Tostfs popular .'Mattinata'' on the other.

THE OPEN FORUM.
DISCLAIMs AUTHORSHIP.
Col. Perkins Writes Concerning the
Poem .Crucible OF Tears

To the Editor: / notice the unmerited
and much to be deplored prominence
given me in The Herald of this date,
for which l am in no manner respon-
sible
deprecate this undue notoriety and
beg that your paper will do me the JUS
tice to publish this communication, but
for which l fear a wrong impression may
be created by the printed statement
which gives me the credit, Tor discredit,
depending upon the viewpoint from
which II may be judged), for the un-
divided authorship of the lines published,
and which are attributed to me.
1t is true / sent such a poem to my
classmate. Mr.. Donneily, OF st. Paul,
Minn., and which called THE Acid
Test or The Crucible OF Tears" but
the first two stanzas OF the manuscript
were in quotation marks, being written by
another than myself, and. in my letter
inclosing the lines. / informed Mr.. Don
nelly that the effusion was not wholly
my own.
/ attached no value to the fragment
not even tipping it-other than as an
appropriate holiday sentiment to loyal
friend and devout Christian who had
been generous, unselfish. and sympa-
thetic to an unfortunate classmate:
neither had 1 the least idea or wish that
it would appear in print. He has at
tached altogether too much importance
to the unpretentious effort to pay tribute
to friendship.
Ny sole object in submitting this COM
munication Is to emphatically disclaim
undeserved honors thrust upon me and
to express my very keen regret that
paraphrase, SO palpably spurious. should
have been coupled with my onicial status
as a retired officer. In conclusion. / feel
called upon to correct another error ap-
pearing in The Herald's article, where
am alluded to as the dismissed officer."
I have not yet suffered such condign
punishment as dismissal. however amen
able to disciplinary action this unfortu-
nate offense renders me.

BeIasco-"Her own Money

Her Own Money" the comedy success
by Mark Swan, which comes to the
Belasco next week, is a play of family
life that keeps out of the muck entirely.
1t is about the kind of a family we see
most of in our everyday living and enjoy
having for neighbors-wholesome. pleas
ant people who make up the roast-beef
and bread-and-butter portion of our popu-
lation. They have domestic difficulties.
as so many families do. over the wife's
having always to ask her husband for
whatever money she needs.
Then comes the inevitable adjustment
of insecure ideals to actual conditions.
with a wake of misunderstanding and
heartache. When il is all settled, the
family is a much wiser family than it
was before. and it is living on a basis
that promises fewer chances for domestic
difficulties in the future.
Her Own Money is true to life-mov
ingly true in the parts where it shows
the more tender side of men and women
and delighttully true in the keen humor
with which it discloseS the weaknesses
of human nature.
Julia Dean appears in the leading role
and in her support will be seen COM
pany of able players admirably cast in
the various roles, just as presented at
the Comedy Theater. New York.

Articles on Napoleon Bonaparte pub

Napoleon are attracting an attention
almost unique In modern journalism The
revival OF interest In Napoleon. especially
notable as the centenary Of his most
momentous year Of 1sl5 approaches. Is
absolutely remarkable.
Everywhere owners of Napoleon relics
and narrators of Napoleon anecdotes are
appearing and filling the public prints
One OF the most notable Of these Ma
poleon enthusiasts Is DIR. v. J. Andre,
who has recently placed at fairs In the
South exhibits Of his collections OF
'Napoleoniana' of which a museum
might be proud. Yet. 1t must be re-
marked. incidentally, the most valuable
memento DIR. Andre has would seem to
be a watch that was carried by the late
Archibald Butt. who died with the IT,
tanic
Among the objects that he prizes most
highly Is the watch that was worn by
Napoleon !. This came into the posses
sion Of DIR. Andres great-grandfather,
being given to him by Gen. Duroc who
was Nspoleon's favorite general Ma
poleon /, when presented with a watch
by the generals, in turn made Gen.

the Andre family. He was my greatest
general and your warmest friend. Keep
the watch. but do not let it go out OF the
Andre family"
Princess Pauline. sister of Napoleon i.
had been presented with an emblem of
France. consisting OF a lion on a pedes-
tai. with her initials carved to consti-
tute a seal on the bottom, at the same
time her royal brother received his
watch from his general She gave to
Andre this token. telling him to keep
the watch and the seal always together.
The edict has been faithfully obeyed in
the Andre family. The watch of Napo-
leon Is In as good condition today as il
was when that distinguished Emperor
carried IL.
DR.. Andre also has the three shirt studs
worn by Napoleon !. as well as three
studs that belonged to Gen. Duroc. Prin-
cess Pauline's jewel casket, beautifully
hand painted and inlaid with silver, is
also In the collection There is also
another remembrance OF Napoleon I that
DR.. Andre values very highly. 1t is an
ornamental corkscrew which was given
as a souvenir to guests at a wine supper
given by the Emperor.

tional Theater next Monday in a new
operatta "Sweethearts." with an organi-
zation OF singers, comedians and chorus

nized as "the best light opera cast in a

there been SO great a contrast of melo-
dies. The merry story. taken from an
old Flemish fairy tale by Harry B. and
Robert B. Smith and Fred de Gresac, is
written in the tone of the opera comique
Of former days.
The announcement is made that for the
Washington engagement the Werba-

unusual chorus and Victor Herbert Opera
