First he | put on You Never Can Tell" after a wordy cable war with it's author George Bernard Shaw, and scored l big hit with that and now he has revived ShaW's Arms and the Man. the story of the Chocolate Cream Soldier, one of Shaw's most brilliant works and yet one which has never been popular except in "The Choco- late Soldier" with music on the side, in the middle and all around it. Much to the surprise of the wise acres New York decided that it liked Arms and the Man" right now and it particularly likes Mir Daly in the part. Which in itself is somewhat
 surprising as it even turned down
 Richard Mansfield in this comedy
 drama years ago. in spite of the
 fact that it was one of his very best portrayals.
 It is announced that Rio Cooper
 Megrue's new war play Under Fire
 will have its first performance on May 24. II is said that this play will be the real sensation of the New York season.

SomethInd IS Under
 Evidently the Selwyns think there is something in the word Under which leads on to fortune and sue cess. Having scored a two year success of gigantic proportions with Under Cover they have just ar ranged with Roi Cooper Megrue to produce a play which should be called Gathering in the Sheaves' but they will name it Under Fire It is a war play and William Cour- tenav who has been playing the lead in Under Cover ever since it open ed in Boston. will be seen in the leading role. It will be produced in New York in about two weeks.

metropolitan Opera Plans

The Metropolitan Opera Directorate l has announced that there will be T season of twenty-four weeks, in stead of twenty three, at the Metro politan Opera House next season; l the longest season in the history Of the Metropolitan. Of this time how = ever only twelve weeks will be given over to opera, the last four weeks being devoted to the Imperial Rus sian Ballet under the direction of Serge di Diaghilew. The season will open November 15.
 This means that the entire Imperial troupe and repertoire of ballet spec
 tacles which has been creating such q sensation in Europe for the past few years will at last be seen in
 America and that Nijinsky, the most marvellous of all dancers will also be seen here. For years it has been promised that this wonderful man would appear at the Metropolitan
 or some other place in New York:
 but he has never been any nearer to it than London. In addition to
 Nijinsky, there will be Mime. Kar- sawina. NJ. and Mime. Fokine and
 many others of the worlds most noted dancers.
 The complete equipment of seen cry, costumes, properties. etc. will be transported to New York and the productions will be mounted there exactly as they have been in the great opera houses of Europe The settings and costumes which are to be brought from Europe are by Leon Raskt who is known there as "the master colorist." There are if ty-five people in the company. out side of the principals and the bal lets will be given to the accompani- ment of a full symphony orchestra.
 With the greatly augmented lists of stars who will appear in the regular opera season. the enga cement of the Imperial Russian Ballet, after years of well nigh hopeless waiting, will probably make the coming ops era season the most brilliant in the history of the Metropolitan.

About 80 years ago a man died leav-

paid for the little home IN the small

all that he left to his widow and his
son
People wondered how they would
get along. They said that she could
sell the house for $4,000 or $4,000, and
that would keep them for a while, but
after that was gone heaven knew how
they would live. But the little widow
did not sell her home She was a SIM

She put him through the grammar
