PARK,
(Review.)


 An audience that made m fl, en preciation what 1t lacked in sizs was most enthusiastic over the program presented by Madame Eleanor de Cisneros and her assisting artists at th ePark theatre last evening. It is strange that a, high class musical event cannot draw a better house in this city.
 The eMtropolttan String Orchestra opened the program with an excellent rendition of the overture, ''Il F'Iauto Magico," Mozart. These players proved themselves musicians of 9 high order both in their solo work and in the acconpaniments. They formed a, splendid tone background for soloists and were recipients of we'll earned plaudits.
 Madame de Cisneros has a fine stage presence and her technic as an actress was well exemplifed in the second part of the program, the abridged version of the Saint-Sa ems opera, Samson and Deli1ah.'' The music is very lovely and the solo parts were very capably handled by Madame de Cisneros as 'tDelilah"; :; Signor Interrante, as the High Priest and Vernon Stiles as Samson" In- terrante the baritone, has a pleas ing voice and a delightful personality. Stiles pleased with his group of songs and all three were given en- cores.
 Four young ladies formed the bal let and the work of Miss Elizabeth West in the Slaves Festival Dance '' was well worthy of note. Equally
  Miss Vera D'Artelle, the last named doing an interpretative dance ''The Gladiator with much spirit and fine technic.

We have always believed that fam fly affairs in business result Itsas- trously but after seeing the way so- called bosses ring in their aunts, In- cles, step brothers, sisters, nephews, nieces and cousins in the film game it sure does make one laugh.
 Many an exhibitor today is getting fleeced regularly but he hasn't the brains to see it. In the first place he doesn't understand the movie gam e and in the second place he believes many of the large film exchanges are doing him favors but when all is said and done nine times out of ten he is being done and .done'' brown.
 But everybody seems to want to get into the movie game It is too laugh. But think of the headaches many of these so-cal1ed movie men have It sure is a, weakening game.
 When exhibitors boost their prices of admission they should also give pa irons better pictures but do they That is what movie lovers all over the country are wondering
 People seem to like pictures. Thea ire men know this and act according ly. When one raises their prices all others follow suit. But how many theatres are really delivering the goods nowadays?

Gallo Comic Opera Company at the shubert, New Haven
 To the many lovers of the good fashioned simon pure comic opera, which for some years past has seemed to have fallen into a state of coma so far as the American stage is concerned, the announcement made last " eek that the Gallo Comic Opera company, direct from it's successful metropolitan season. in New York, would be at the Shubert, New Haven, for a week starting Monday, comes as a noticeable one.
 For some time g. growing dislike to the modern form of musical comedy has been noticed by those who make a business of purveying to the desire for musical entertainment, and with this in view, Fortune Gallo, known to fame as the owner of the San Carlo Grand Opera company, in conjunction with Bradford Mills, the well know musical inpressaTio, or gaized the Gallo Comic Opera Com Dany for the purpose of giving re- yivaIs of famous cQnic operas in as complete and painstaking a man ner as could possibly be done, at the hands of the finest artists obtainable- The season opened at the shubert Theatre, New York, where a fort night was played to enormous busi- ness, and were it not for earlier bookings the engagement could have continued for a longer period
 ''The NIikado,'' which has been se- 1ected for the opening bill, and Thursday and Saturday nights and Wednesday matinee as well, probably ranks as the most popular comic opera, of all time Written when Gil
 bert and Sullivan were at the height of their fame, it comes down to the present generation as unquestion- ably the nearest approach to perfec- ton in comic opera writing which has ever been attained, and it's witty book and glorious melodies are as fresh today as when the master minds of Eng1and's greatest libret- list and composer first conceived l them.
 On Tuesday and Friday nights I ''The Chimes. of Normandy" Plan i Quette's famous opera comique, vii l be presented, while on Wednesday 1 evening and Saturday matinee Gil l bert and Su1Iivan's original and frs

 The 1ustre that attaches itself to the name of Hammerstein in tho theatrical world loses none of it's hrilliancy by the presentment of Ar thur Hammerstein's newest musical play, Some body's Sweetheart D which will be seen at the Park Theatre on Monday and Tuesday, matinee and night Indeed, the Ham Tnerstein prestige is considerably en- hnced by this production, which writ ten jointly by Alonzo Price and An tonic Bafuuni, possesses all the ele- 1nents that contribute to a success of proportions, 4 cast of surpassing g excellence, music that is rich in mel ody, and a, book and lyrics of posi- tive attainment, are but few of the attributes that recommend Some bo5y's Sweetheart"
