M'ANENY ANSWERS
BULLOCK'S ATTACK
Defends Boards Right to Ex-
empt Contracts from Com
petitive Bidding.

George McAneny, President Of the
Board of Aldermen, replied yesterday
TO the open letter directed to him in
his absence from the city by William
Bullock, director of the Bureau of City
Inquiry, a Tammany organization, crit
icising the aldermen for granting con-
tracts without public letting. Mr. Nc
Aneny said the power to exempt CON
tracts from competitive bidding was
vested in the Board of Aldermen by
the city charter All of the exemp-
tions criticised by Mr.. Bullock were
proper and in the interest of economi-
cal administration, Mr.. McAneny said
Had you investigated the facts be-
fore you gave out your statement"
said Mr.. McAneny, "yoI might have
ascertained that for yourself. | should
not be willing TO say thai the Board OF
Aldermen has been absolutely free
from mistakes" Mr.. McAneny said. 81
believe all well informed and fair per-
sens agree that the present board has
made an exceptionally good record.
This impression will be strengthened
if attempts to discredt the boards
work are no more convincing than this
absurd charge"

WILSON WANTS
UNITED WORK
FOR DEFENCE
President Will Confer with
Military and Naval Az
fairs Chairmen.

Cornish, N. r., Aug 5.-To develop
d broad and convincing programme Of
national defence which will meet with
the approval of Congress. President
Wilson is planning to cooperate with
the chsirmen of the Military and Navel
Affairs committees of the Senate and
House, as well as with Secretaries Gar
rison and Daniels Of the War and Navy
departments, before deciding on tho
recommendation he will make TO Con-
gress.
The President told friends tonight
he would arrange to see the ehairmen
tefore Congress convened in order 20
unite on a single programme of action.
He will then have the reports now
being prepared by Mr.. Garrison and
Mr.. Daniels, who are expected TO take
part in the conferences, to explain their
recommendations.
The President believes the time has
come for the United States to decide On
a definite programme of national de-
fence. and wants as little friction as
possible to develop over the question.
Through the chairmen Of the Mill
tary and Naval Affairs committees the
President expects the members OF these
committees to give and receive ideas
before the appropriation bills contain
ing army and navy items come up for
discussion.
Tn plan of the President is TO care
fully consider a programme of national
defence after free consultation with
others, and then to throw the entire
weight of the administration behind
the policy agreed on. He is opposed
to a policy of "militsrism," but thinks
the United States should be adequately
defended.
President Wilson remained indoors
at the Summer White House" virtu-
ally all day, working on correspond
ence and data which he sent TO he
State Department. In the afternoon
he went for an automobile ride with
members of his family through see
tions of New Hampshire and Vermont.

his partners widow. Mrs. Gladys
Wynne, and not only Rudolph, but per-
haps some of the audience, objected
to seeing so much of her. In the per-
son of Frances Demarest she was very
good to look upon, but she did succeed
terribly at times at spelling the ro-
nance. Rudolph wishes to see the old
Blue Paradise again, to dream OF his
Mizzi and the days gone by. He does
not know that the place belongs 20
Hans, but his friends keep him in igno-
rance and arrange to welcome him IN
the old place and in the old style.
The last scene is in "The Blue Para
disc" Again we have the student life
of old Vienna. Mizzi is away, put
Rudolph sees her daughter Gaby and
for moment thinks she is his old
lost love. Then he learns the truth.
She is the daughter of Mizzi and jus
tus He leaves her happy with his
nephew, and returns to Chicago 20
marry. ooh, why did he have TO marry
Mrs. Wynne?) In the daughter he has
seen reincarnate his Mizzi, and he does
not wish to break the illusion by meet
ing Justus's termigant wife.
Such is the story, sentimental If you
will, but such sentiment as the nat
uralists have tried and will forever try
in vain to kill. The introduction Of
Hazel Jones', the ex-telephone operator,
was the only act of questionable taste
on the part of Mr.. Smith, though Miss
Jones as impersonated by Miss Cleo
Mayfield, was at least original.
And the cast: Ii was headed by &C.
ell Lean, whose vitality and high spir-
its made Of Rudolph q living figure
though in the more romantic portions
he was less effective. Teddy Webb was
delightful as the corpulent Justs and
Robert G.. Pitkin an ingratlating Hans.
But the star-no, il was not Mr.. Lean
it was little unknown girl who was
making her first appearance upon the
professional stage-Miss Vivien Segal.
Owing to Mile. Chapin's illness Miss
Segal had been called upon to take the
two parts of Mizzi and Gaby at only
four days notice. During these four
days Mr.. ]. J. Shubert drilled her ight
and day, and to such results that her
debut took the house By storm. She
played with an assurance that was re-
markable, showed a fine sense of dra-
matte values, and sincerity of feeling
such as is rare upon the operetta stage.
in addition, she displayed clear,
fresh voice and much grace of move
ment and Of manner.
A word in closing should be said for
the excellent scenery and stage man
agement, the later being due to Mr..
Bermino and Mr.. j. j. Shubert. "The
Blue Paradise" is an exquisite little
operetta. II we are tired of musical
nonsense, masquerading under the
name of musical comedy, let us HE our
selves to the Casino. And then perhaps
"The Blue Paradise" will help bring
back TO US the old dances. How utterly
vulgar and inane sounded Mr.. Lean s
own interpoated modern dance num-
Der after the languorous beauty Of the
preceding waltz!

years rolled back. Once more we wan

the spirits Of Strauss and Auber brood

"The Blue Paradise" which the
Messrs. Shubert presented last night to
the Casinos patrons is a Viennese OPP
eratta by Edmund Eysler, the book by
Leo Stein and Bella Jenbasch. and it is
as delightful work as any Vienna has
given to us in recent years. Let it be
said at the outset that if charm of story
and Of sentiment, flowing melody and
incisive rhythms mean anything to the
New York public "The Blue Paradise"
will be as well loved as was "The Choco-
late Soldier" 1t is one of the few true
operettas we have heard in recent
years, its music the music of must
clan, its story the story of poet.
To begin with, let us thank Mr.. Ed
gar Smith, its American adapter, for
nearly obliterating any desire he may
have had to inject a humorous punch.
His adaptation was not always poetic,
but it never offended The humor of
"The Blue Paradise" grew, as a rule,
logically out of the characters and the
situations, and the long ears of our GER
tilted humorists protruded only at rare
intervals. The story is most simple,
most tender and most human-a must
