failing geniality will feel a sense of
personal regret in the announcement
contained elsewhere in these columns
today that he has been promoted to
the position of assistant general man
ager of the Poll circuit of theaters.
Even while we take pleasure in Mr..
Polls recognition of his ability in
such substantial manner, we feel the
loss of the particular, brand of
courtesy which he has dispensed in
the Avenue playhouse since he came
to US at the close of the Fosse reg

with the assurance that Mr.. Cones

Thanksgiving came, or Christmas, or
Easter, or any other day Of more

She will sit by her own hearthstone

She has proven how queenly she is

On Wednesday night, April 81
Madame Schumann-Heink,t the worlds
foremost contralto, will appear at the
Auditorium theatre in this city. The
Booster will make no attempt to elab

gagement. But 1t may not be amiss
to reclaim at this time, an article
from the pen of Sam Clark, which ap

Of Jim Jam Jems. It is a splendid
tribute to the beautiful character Of

the memory which made you grateful
for the privilege Of hearing. All was
forgotten, all was overlooked in the
magnetism Of that matchless voice.
In an army barracks, bleak and bare,
in a frontier hall devoid Of all art,
that voice would charm and sooth and
intoxicate with the same certainty
that It would touch the soul Of the
metropolitan audience in the palatial
theatre.
And the public press comes to US

and flower bespangled meadows. For

woman for its own, for the time be-

the plaudits of the tireless listeners
to her delightful gift and attainment
the sordid story Of the union with a
man who complains.
The first time we heard Madame
Schumann-H eink we thought that she
must be inspired. It was like the
heavenly voice that sang to hearts

older. we realized something else.
We ascertained that the woman

looked upon the coming of each child

She was singing her message to the
little one who had gone and to the
eight darlings whom God had allowed
her to keep. No matter what the
song was, it was in truth, lullaby

Character always gives strength
to action. The insincere poet may
write beautifully, but his poesy never
reaches to the heart, for his heart
Is not back Of it. Here was some
thing back Of the songs of the diva,
something equally as beautiful. It
was the heartfelt appreciation Of q
mother for the little ones who had
come to her. The charm Of her voice
was no greater than the charm of her
motherhood, loving and ever mindful
Of the privilege. Motherhood, the
most glorious thing in all the world,
was back Of every number Of her
program. While she sang her heart

whom she loved with all the sweet
devotion that is possible, and she

at least, comes to US Of what may
have prompted the domestic infelicity
which caused the mother Of nine
children to 60 to the divorce court
