Victor Herbert s New One-Act
Opera in English VIII Be
Sung on Saturday AZ
ternoon at MetropoG-
tan Opera House.

Madeleine a one-act opera in Eng
lish by Victor Herbert, will have its first
performance on any stage next Saturday
afternoon at the Metropolitan Opera
House. 1t viii be the third novelty pre-
scented this season by Mr.. Gatti-CasaZza
The libretto Of Madeleine" is by Grant
Stewart, an or-playwright. and is
based on a short French play by y.
De Courcelles and L. Thibcust The plot
is as follows:
1t is New Years Day in Paris. about
the year 1869 The scene is the salon OF
Madeleine Fleury. the favorte diva Of the
DAY. and the room is full Of costly New
Years gifts that have been laid at her
feet Madeleine herself. buoyantly happy
at the dawning Of another year of tri-
umph invites the Chevalier dc Mauprat
TO dine with her. but he laughingly de-
clines having promised to dine with his
mother
The Due d'Esterre, Madeleine's chief
admirer arrives with a magnificent gift
but, to her intense chagrin. he, too. re-
fuses to dine with her. having promised
TO dine with his mother-a promise he
cannot break. She pleads, cajoles, de-
mands but all in vain, and at last she
even threatens to invite his rival, de
Fontanges. with whom he is to fight
duel the following day. The duo, how
ever, is firm in his refusal. and Madeleine,
now thoroughly piqued. writes inviting
de Fontanges. An answer comes declin-
ing the honor, as he. too. is dining with
mis- mother. and Medicines maid
Nichette. TO whom she turns as a last
resort. also declines for the same reason
Beside herself with chagrin, Madeleine
gives way 10 a burst OF hysterical pas
sion-discharges all her servants and
throws herself on the sofa i'm a fit o
passionate weeping. Al this point Di

The difference between finished play
and merely play at auction is probably
as clearly marked in the players ability
10 handle the problem of re-entries as In
anything. Such ability must comprise
a correct knowledge of the sound theories
OF both bidding and play and a further
practical ability 10 apply such knowledge
10 the problems at hand.
rAnd therein lies the holding power Of
the game over men trained In business
and professional life. The mental pleas
ure consequent upon the successful play
OF a difficult hand involving the arrang-
ing for re-entries TO produce contract
obligation or game is keen. and the PLAY
er carries the memory OF the feat for
DAYS. sometimes months, and we hear
many proud "reminiscences Of successful
feats Of reasoning at auction.
The player who falls short on such
problems fails 10 acquire the condition
of mind that makes the effort seem worth
while. This last class comprises the In
dividual players we touched on last week
Their effort is generally directed TO con-
sidering which arc the lucky seats and
which deck won the last rubber

time. will probably reach Sl,CW,WO' on
condition that the society become "A
membership corporation under the laws
of the State OF New York, representing
the general public" Thereupon the So
ciety was reorganized with the co-opera-
ton of the committee of guarantors and
membership of over one thousand was
secured. Legal formalities delayed the
payment of the legacy, but in November,
1913. $775,000 was paid to the treasury by
the executors OF Mr.. Pulitzers viii.
Meanwhile the receipts from the sale of
tickets Uhe box office sale must be
meanD increased over 70 per cent over
those OF four years before
The salaries of the eighty-seyen regular
members of the orchestra and the con-
ductor now amount to $1s,6S5 81, which
amount, says the report, SIS not likely TO
be decreased i'm the future If the present
artistic standard is to be maintained.
The expenses are so large that though
the deficit OF the FIRST season under the
guarantee system, amounting to sl1S,565 Sc,
has been considerably reduced. it cannot
be less tllan >cv,''V al year, tNtH II NNSi ,

The income TO meet this annual deficit
must be derived from the investment OF
the Pulitzer fund amounting 10 from
s35. 900 to $4,000 annually, about $1,000
from membership dues, voluntary sub
scriptions or an endowment fund, for
which appeal is now made TO encourage
the members the directors offer three
special entertainments toward the close
of this season, namely, two lectures by
Rubin Goldmark at the Hotel Aston on
February 2s and March Z. and the Even
ing OF Light Music" TO be followed by a
reception, on March % at the Waldorf
Astoria. The light music is TO consist of
selections from operettas and dances.
The report concludes with the following
appeal
To maintain the high artistic quality OF
our organization we still need, as above
indicated, the financial support of the
community, and we must depend I'm that
direction primarily upon the active CO.
operation of the members of the society.
The benefit of the contribution which each
member makes to the funds of the society

IN THE WORLD OF SPORTS
DICK KAUFMAN GETS WORKED
TOO Often; COLTS WIN /
FROM The tigers
Too much of a good thing.

100 HuCn OF BoOu tniuB.
That explains the defeat of Ia
coma by Portland yesterday, to
4. Dick Kaufman, star pitcher
of the locals, was driven from the
box in six innings, after IL hits
had been made Oft OF him.
Dick has been worked too often
Of late. Saturday he pitched
about five innings against Seat
tie, and was forced to pitch
whole game the next day. We'd
nesday he pitched the last three
innings and yesterday he was sent
in to start the battle.
1t is too much to keep up.
Kaufman needs little rest, and
he will win the majority of his
games.
The Tigers made a desperate
bid for the combat in the fifth
stanza, and made a quartet OF
scores off of Oscar Jones, who
pitched the Colts TO victory. In
this frame he was nicked by the
Cats for five hits and pass.
= q
Although the Tigers made five
errors, the runs Of the Colts were
earned through clean, hard hit
ting. Dave Kraft pitched the
last few innings for the locals.
= o
Pat Callahan, the southpaW
whom Nick is working as an out
fielder, had a large afternoon
with the bludgeon, grabbing three
singles and a double out of four
trips to the platter.
The attendance at Portland is
very poor, and Toe McGinnity
asked that the remainder of the
series be transferred to Tacoma,
but McCredie refused to acceds
to this request. The teams will
finish out he series in Portland.
