 PAPERS DIVIDE 0N ISSUE

BERLIN, June 19.-Meyer Gerhard, the special envoy of the German ambassador at Washington, spent the day conferrng with the foreign office about the American situation. Although nothing has been made public about the character of the message brought by Gerhard, and the government has so far given no ntimaon of the nature of it's reply to the second American note, the newspapers are giving columns of space to discussions of what action Germany should take. The leading papers have sharply divided on the question, and it has developed

Fate Of the Century Theatre.

The Century Theatre is by no means
the first temple built with a higher
artistic purpose which found itself
the home of vaudeville. The Palace
Theatre, which Is one of the foremost
London music halls, was intcnded to
he the home of serious English opera.
and for its dedication Sir ARTHUR
SULLIVAN wrote the score for q iibret-
TO which was founded on no less a
ma sterpiece than Sir WALTER SCorr's
%'Ivanhoe." There was the production
of ia Basoche" afterward, but 1t
soon became evident that the English
public was determined to take no in
terest In this patriotic enterprise, and
what was meant to he its first ma
tiOnal opera house was before long n
variety theatre. The London opera
house built by OSCAR HAMMERsTEiN
was also used for n similar purpose.
So far It has not been found posi-
BILE to discover any use for the great
Century Theatre which interested the
public. The original project of COM
bining drama and opera proved just
rs impossible there us 1t has every
where else. 1t IL idle to cite the cX-
ample OF the German Stadt Theatcr.
which Is n provincial institution pos
sessing no Significance SO far as New

providing plays OF a character suited
TO the building was shown after '"Thc
Garden of Allah" alone had accom-
plishcd the seemingly impossible task
of drawing New Workers 10 the thea,
tire. Its later use was the occasion
of another refusal Of the New York
public to listen to opera in English

ton the fact that 1t was sung in the
