Fl CODED WITH SOLDIERS
Men in Khaki Spend Furloughs
Seeing the Brilliant
French Capital.

Paris. Nov. 25-Probably the biggest
problem that the Young Mems Christian
Association has TO face III the city of
Paris is the housing of soldiers who flock
TO this city IN thousands for twenty
four TO forty-eight hours leave. Every
American boy who comes to France is
eager TO see the city of Paris and the
prices of accommodations at the French
hotels is beyond the possibilities Of
their slender purses. The Y. NJ. G. A.
has several hotels where they can go
o shower. Meals are served at cost.
The Pavilion is the largest of these
hotels and as an illustration the crowd
that iiocked in there the other night is
q good one to be guided by. The hotel
was full TO overfowing The other
hotels in the neighborhood on the over
flow list were also crowded to the limit
The office also has a long list of rooms
which French families will rent to soldiers
The list was exhausted. Yet the men kept
pouring IN Seventy SIX men took of
their coats. rolled them up. made them
into pillows and slept on the floor of
the Lounge Room 1t eleven all

Pavilion thought She would call II a

as she was starting up stairs. she heard
q pounding on the door, and went to
sec what il was
She opened the door to find thirty
four enlisted men who had travelled
eighteen hours on railroad train. They
wanted cover for the night, and for
the love of Uncle Sam. sister, food of
some sort ? She let them in. went up
stairs and called another canteen work
q Together they went INTO the kItch-
en- and stole the bread that was hidden
IN the closets for morning. They found
& key to the storeroom and dragged out
canned meat TO make into sandwiches,
They started fire in the stove and made
hot chocolate, and the thirty-four boys
were fed.
Then the two women went into the
dining room with the tables all set and
ready for breakfast, and cleared those
tables. and the men were only too glad

or fifty American cities. Very disin-
terested was this advice of Mr. Ricordi
OF course, for he was drawing royalties
from only one-third OF all the per-
formanccs given at the metropolitan at
the time and he did no more than hone
that he might supply the forty or fifty
theatres Of his dream (and Hammer
STEMS and the Metropolitan company's)
with more Butterflies. Toscas. Bohe-
mlans and Girls Of the Golden West
but before he returned to his native
Italy the operate muse had changed
her complexion, and Mr.. Ricordi said
that he did not mean opera at popular
prices at all, but costly and aristocratic
opera like that at the Metropolitan.
And so he spoiled his rrctty cvangel.
Popular Opera Planned by City Club
Another product OF the agitation was
g movement inaugurated by substan-
tlal civic institution which resulted in
serious and res0lutc effort to nut into
concrete form what had hitherto been
merely floating, fieeting. futile, Hoccu-
lent ctfusion OF speech At a luncheon
OF the City Club in the spring OF 1917
the subject Of opera was the order OF
the day. Again in the words of the
double who undid DR.. Hale, everything
That had been said was again said, and
so we'll said by composers, singers,
managers and patriotic promoters Of
opera that further speech on the tonic
threatened to become an impertinonce
unless followed by action Of some sort.
AT the end the president Of the club
appointed Il committee charged 10 in
vestigatc the question and ascertain
whether or not it was feasible to pro-
duce 1rst-class opera in New York mt
popular prices-mcaning the prices
prevalent at the theatres in general.
INC committee consisted of Edward
Kellogg Baird (chairman). William C.
Cornwell, Edward r. Finch, Otto II.

Doings and Facts of the City Club
Enterprise
| have neither time nor desire to
enter upon discussion of the per
formanccs OF the company, which came
to an end on April is, 1914, after
thirty weeks Of activity. The sea-
son, originally planned for sixteen
weeks, extended by the management to
thirty-tive, was curtailed four weeks
ostensibly to allow time for altcra-
tions in the house prior TO the second
season. About the middle of the sea-
son Mr.. Baird rendered his resignation
to the board Of directors Of the com
pany, following financial difficulties, in
which the Century Opera Magazinc' Ia
publication Of which he was the chief
promotcr) became involved. His resig-
nation was not accepted, and he re-
NAMED IA member cf the directorate
through the second season, which ter
minated in the dissolution Of the enter
prise. During the thrty-one weeks Of
the first season twenty-six operas were
produced. No new works were attempt
cd. and those announced but left un-
performed were "Mignon," Kings
Children" "Tannh;iuser," "Traviata."
''Salome,' Tristan und Isolde" the
four dramas OF "Thc Ring of the Nibe-
lungs and "Thc Huguenots" The
omission of the grandiosc Wagnerian
list vas not at ali deplorable, though
its performance in English might have
made significant contribution to the
discussion Of the practcability and
value Of translations. Six operas were
sung LIN their original tongues, viz,
aida" LA Gioconda." "The Jewels Of
the Madonna "Madame Butterfly"
"Toscn" and "Lohenerin" In the third
week "The Tales Of IIofFmann' received
eight performances Gin Enghsh). A
second week was vouchsafed TO this
opera as we'll as to "Madame Butterfly"
Louise" "Hansel und Grctcl," "Aida"
and "Thais.' Humperdinck's fairy
opera was associated with perform
anccs by the International Ballet. It
received twentv-nine performances in
