in the restful nineties, and doubtless
the theatre has found a compression IN
small space II might then never have
discovered. Comedy, thing OF shad-
ings, Is rare nowadays; farce when
beats the gong of laughter ike nre
alarm is our common spectacle. All OF
this is evident in The Gay Lord QueN,
which, guided by John Drew who is
discreet as well as mellowed, takes on
in its moments of comedy the flavor OF
farce. and is vitalized By Miss Ellington
in its moments of drama by the accents
OF melodrama. Shaw once said OF Mr..
Drew, when he was a member OF that
group Of Augustin Days which is now
only a resonant memory, that outward
ly he played his parts with sobrlety, but
inwardly with devilishiness, as II IN
contempt of the hitler men he had to
be. We have all quit lamenting since
that Mr.. Drew could be nothing more
than the mould of form for which he
proves so apt an exhibitor, but ne does
at least in his latest acting OF Plnero
imply a similar fashion Of double deal
ing, but with the difference of seeming
to enjoy it rather than OF holding his
part in contempt.
An unusual fact about the new pro
duction of "Quex," which appears &c
have escaped the programme. is its CO.
incidence with the first production IN
America at the Criterion Theatre, just
seventeen years ago, November II. John
Hare, "A famous protagonist of gray
haired parts from his youth TO his re-
tirement, was the Quex Of that day,
but | doubt if he could have accommo-
dated himself so we'll to a new genera
ton as Mr.. Drew. What struck me in the
new version is the easy possibility of
accelerating the action but the impos-
siblity of rubbing off the stamp of old
fashioned playing, once it has been in
delibly set in.
The mid-Victorianism of the play is
quite as evident in the directions for
acting with which Pinero decorated the
comedy as in the situations themselves.
The Duchess of Strood, the flabby sentl-
mentaist who acts as the hinge for the
innocent plot, would be impossible IN
the same form in a modern play. To-
days sophisticated dramatist would
make her sentimentality and its capac-
ity for romantic intrigue take the
shape of an almost pathologic curiosity
about the emotions Of men, as Somer-
set Vaughan did in the terrible play
NJ. Williams produced last year, our

The Opera

large American flag ana directly In
front OF him Mr.. Caruso. Miss Muzio.
Nine. Matzenauer, Mr.. Amato and the
other principals were standing. At
once the orchestra struck into the ma
tional anthem and, led by Mr.. Caruso,
the singers on the stage took up the
words. Rarely, indeed, was the song
given with as MUGS spirit as these
artists, few of them Americans, man
aged to impart to it.
The performance itself had few out
standing features. though in Signor
Moranzoni the Metropolitan has evil
IDENTIFY secured a conductor Of high
merit. Signor MoranZoni is not Of
those who confuse dramatic power with
noise. He tempered his orchestra TO
his singers. yet in the great climaxes
he was universally effective. In his
direction he showed throughout fire,
controlled by just taste.
Another newcomer was Jose Mar
dones, whose resonant bass voice gave
to Ramfs an appeal the part has lacked
for many year. Mr.. Mardones will BIO
thrice welcome in that he strengthens
the weakest element in the Metropoli-
tan forces.
Sgnor Caruso after the first act was
IN excellent voice. he Nile scene IN
particular he gave with the supreme
fervor and glory of tone which is his
alone. May the gods spare him to us
for many years to come.
Miss Muzio was a handsome, dra-
matte and an interesting Aida. Under
her beauty and passion the character
was no lay figure. and for this, too, we
must offer thanks. Her voice is a
glorious one, but she shows as yet lit
tie discretion in its use. Nine. Mat
zenauer sang effectively the music Of
Amneris. and she, too, knew how to
burst into flame.
Mr.. Amato was, as ever, admirable
as Amonasro, Miss Sundelius gave per-
haps the best exhibition of singing Of
the evening AZ the unseen Priestess,
and Mr.. Ruysdael, despite mis- some
what unkingly bearing, sang the music
better than it has been sung for many
seasons past. This was the cast:

During her fathers talk, which
seemed to Minnie interminable, she
sat motonless, almost transfixed,
steadfastly gazing at the wall paper.
AS the minutes ran by and she failed
to respond to his earnest plea, Mr..
Schloss asked her mildly:
"Well, Minnie, have you anything to
say? Does it mean that you acquiesce
in my request"
Presently the stole calmness that
she had displayed suddenly gave way
to a wave of emotion

concerning household affairs. And
now the evening was spoiled for him,
Just on account of his fathers out
burst, which to his mind was entirely
unwarranted. He certainly could
not see any calamity in the marriage OF
his sister to Arthur. On the contrary
it was reason for hilarious enthusiasm.
Good heavens, what is gong on
here?' he finally mustered courage to
speak. "You all look as if you had
come from funeral We have been
sitting for almost half an hour around
this table like so many dumb people
Nobody stops you from talking"

Eyes, thank you,' she answered
coldly.
Mrs. Schloss, somewhat disgruntled,
arose from the table and left the room,
directly followed by Bernard. A long
oppressed silence ensued, in which
Minnie gazed steadily at the wall pa
per, which suddenly assumed patterns
richer in color and more intricate in
design than ever before. Mr.. Schloss
eyed her for an interval, endeavoring
to formulate in his mind plan of
procedure in the predicament that he
had suddenly been brought face to
face. with. Should he speak to her
kindly? Put the matter up to her
own conscience? Leave it to her own
Judgment? Or, should he assert his
paterna1 authority, match strength
with her and overpower by his anger
which had been surging through him?
He finally decided, in favor of the
first course. He approached his
daughter, laid his hand on her shoulder
and remarked with paternal tender
ness.
Minnie, child, I have heard from
mother this evening that you and
Arthur are quite friendly that is,

ing to marry your sister"
"How do you know that? asked
Mrs. Schloss. ut seems to me that
the boy is head over heels in love
with Minnie"
Mr.. Schloss was taken aback by his
wife's remark. He looked at her fur
iously for few moments, then broke
out vehement1y.
"You mean to tell me that you have
been watching this affair between
them without apprising me of the
fact? Have you been planning this I?
What are you up to anyhow"
Nothing at ALL replied Mrs.
Sch1oss noncha1antly. ARTHUR and
Minnie have been interested in each
other for a long time; personally, |
can see nothing wrong in their at
tachment, even if it does lead to mar
rage"
ooh. I see," sneered Mr.. Schloss.
"You have ambitions to become the
mother-in-law of millionaire. Well,

her to marry a Jew"

that you we're such a devoted Jew"
"Well then, beginning tonight you
will know it. I will inaugurate new
regime in this household"
"You will have to do then without
me-" replied his wife CURLY.
1--WE will see about it, remarked
Mr.. Schloss. II will take things in my
own hands ."
Ere he had finished the sentence,
the dining room door opened, and
Minnie entered dressed in her auto
mobile attire, her face beaming radi-
antly.
"Hel1o,-good evening, everybody"
Momentarily she took in the situ-
alton, and sur1nised that there was
some upheaval at home, instinctively
feeling that she was the cause there
of. She took off her wraps quietly,
left the room, returned in few mo-
ments and took her place at the table
with the words, "sorry to have kept
you waiting"
"Now, Minnie, ' began Mr..
Schloss.
"You had better wait until we get
through with dinner" interrupted Mrs.
Schloss, "and besides, you are entirely
too excited to talk intelligently."
