Drama
Miss Eva Tanguay Does Not
Care Very Much
julius Caesar
By Haywood Broun

First it was "The Independent" then
William Randolph Hearst and now Eva
Ianguay. Miss Tanguay objects in
variety" to a review which we wrote
of her vaudeville act. She reprints the
criticism, which is as follows:
Ours is democracy, so probably
nothing much can be done about the
singing of Eva Tanguay. But, even in
free country, there should be some
moral force, or physical if need be, to
Keep her away from the 'Marsellaise. :.
She should not be allowed to sing it
even on her knees, and it is monstrous
that the great hymn of human liberty
should be shrilled as climax to vui-
gar act by bouncing singer in gro
tesque costume begrt with little flags.
Miss Tanguay sings in French, and
have no idea whether she is trying to
be funny. l never know what she is
trying to be except noisy. l think she
is the parsnip of performers The only
c cheer1ul song in her repertory yester-
day was one in which she limited that
some day she would retire. Miss Tan
quay is billed as a 'bombshell.' Would
TO heaven she were, for bomb is
something which is carried to a great
height and then dropped"
MISS Ianguay's reply is defantly en-
TITLED Eva Tanguay, The Parsnip Of
fertormers.' In strain of gentle
irony she begins: Eva Tanguay, who
has received the biggest paid salary to
a single artistic (S3,500 a week., and
whose services have been in demand for
twenty years, packing theatres wher-
ever she appears, is now a 'PARSNIP!"
"B. F. Keith" she continues. "never
permitted vulgar acts in his theatre
so hence the proof my act is not vul-
gar"
We merely had in mind song en-
titled "There'll be a hot time for the
old men while the young men are
away" The chorus, as we remember
1T, began: "Therell be a hot time for
the old men whole the young men are
away. When the young men go to
France, oh, won't the old men have a
wonderful chance to raise the dickens
with all the chickens" The rest eludes
us. In justice to Miss Tanguav it
should be said that the song has since
been dropped from her repertory.
eva Tanguay was born of French
parents-father born in France" con-
tinues the artistic. "French was the
language of the home, and there did
Eva Tanguay learn her own French
national hymn (anthem). So whv
should she not sing it now? Had it

Opera

Opera pantomime, Rimsky Korsa-
koff's "Le Cog dor" was given for the
second time last night at the Metro
politan Opera House The interest
which this work has aroused was evi-
denced by the large audience that
gathered, an audience which gave some
appearance Of being both pleased and
stimulated.
The unusual nature Of the work has
been abundantly commented upon. 1t
is fanclful, bizarre. Thus it will ap-
peal to the lovers of all art 1aouueuu.
But 1T is more than this. It possesses
a richly imaginative power, its music
is melodious, it's rhythms Intoxicating
TO the romanticist it it is romantic, to
the symbolist, symbolic. The classicist
and the realist will perhaps like it less,
unless they are able to break out OF
their narrow cells. But the children
will adore it. 1t will be to them a
combination of Noah's Ark with the
Arabian Nights.
The performance itself is admirable.
The singers are models Of self sacrifice.
They sit in rows on either side of the
stage, each one looking precisely like
the other, and sing music of extraordi-
nary difficulty extraordinarily we'll.
Mr.. Didur as King Dodon, Nine. Bar
rientos as the Queen, Miss Braslau as
Amelia, Mr. Ruysdael as the General
and Nine. Sundelius as the Cock are
all excellent. while Mr.. Diaz proves
that the Metropolitan has another
tenor to be reckoned with The dances
are equally excellent. Mr.. Bolm is a
true King Of the Preposterous. Miss
CALI an enchantress Of exquisite en-
chantment, Mr. Bartels a general of
1erocious aspect, Miss Queenie Smith
a new dancer who possesses both
grace and charactcrizing power. Mr.
Monteux conducts with rare feeling for
the pantomimic possibilities of the
opera.
AS for the scenery of Willy Pogany-
of such is the kingdom of the heaven
of madmen and of children.
