FRENCH COMPANY
IN RACY PLAY
"Ma Tante D'Honfleur," at Theatre
Parisien, Lively Farce of
Paris Life.

ma Tante DHonfleur," as presented
last night at the Theatre Parisien, proved
to be a dainty pleasantly and racy enough
for any French farce. though at times
somewhat leisurely in action and lacka-
dalsical in stage business. The play is an
excellent example OF how the delicately
jaunty playing Of French condolences can
lessen the shock of one of these dramatic
grenades rom Paris.
The beat y and amability OF Miss Henri
cite Delannoy. in fact, gave touch Of dis
tinction to the entire performance, which
easily might have had a less jolly effect.
She was supported with especial nicely by
the other women of the cast, including
Misses Lucienne Debrennes. Suzanne Cau-
bet. Collette Burani and Nine. Lli Rito,
who played the title role excellently. The
Delannoy smile, however. rivets the at
tention.
In this farce, which Is by Paul Gavault,
the door at the left of the stage is kept
opening and shutting at rate which would
wear out the toughest American practical
farce door. The door leads where all
well trained farce doors do. The plot con-
Germs the interesting attempts of young
couples to extricate one another from diff
flicultes, with the wealthy aunt from Hon.
fleur arriving at the most inopportune mo-
ments. Robert Casadesus, director of the
French theatre, Felix Barre and Andre
Frankly had the chief mems roles.

YOUNG WOMEN GIVE
PLEASING RECITAL
Misses Rebecca Clarke and Winifred,
Pianist and Violinist, in Aeolian
Hall-Sonata by Former Played.

A little out Of the ordinary last night
in Aeolian Hall was viola and piano recital
by Misses Rebecca Clarke and Winifred
Christie. Both are excellent artists, musi-
cally, with fine feeling for the aesthetic.
Miss Clarke played sonata in f major
for viola by Grszioli, two old French
dances "Musette' and La Provencale,"
by Marias; Cyril Scott's Lullaby and
Emil Ferris Caprice Basque" which was
receiving its first performance.
Miss Christie played Chopln's ALLEGRO
de Concert" Brahms "Capriccio" and
Griegs "Nocturne."
Together the two young women played a
sonata in major for viola and piano,
which was composed by Miss Clarke and
which, so far as New York Is concerned
was first performance of the work. 1t is
based on Alfred de Mussets la Mint de
Maj
"Poete prends ton luth. Levin de la
jeunesse.
'Fermente cette mint dams les veines de
D'ieu."
There are three movements to the
sonata, all OF which can best be described
by a consideration of the impetuosity OF
youth when coupled with temperament.
Both Miss Clarke and Miss Christie were
in the vein and their performance conse-
quently gave much artistic pleasure.
Walter Golde, who was at the piano for
Miss Clarke's numbers, also contributed
much to the delight of their Entertainment

STRIKING PERFORMANCE

For third season Of opera in New

out of the West and opened the doors
of the Lexington Theatre last night. AS
though TO challenge comparison with the
Metropolitan it offered a modern opera

Miss Mary Garden was heard for the first
time here as Flora. a role in which she
startled Chicago few weeks ago.
There also were two important debuts

Clefonte Campanini. has had charge OF
most artistic matters connected with

greatest American tenor. after half a
dozen eyars at La Scala in Milan, has re-

him in every move and listened to his
every note from orchestra seats. But he
is singer Of unusual skill and beauty of
voice. he is known best as a dramatic
tenor. but his voice is not very heavy. IT
is smooth and even. The quality is very
pleasing, and he has good singing style.
There was not always the tone of passion
associated with the role Of Avito, but his
performance was one with admirable
qualities. He is skillful actor, and If
not quite equal to Miss Gardens strenuous

singing of the whole cast. He watched the
conductor a little too carefully, but. per-
haps, it is 4 new role for him.
While the audience was only lukewarm
after the first act. Miss Gardens thrilling
portrayal of the unfaithful Flora brought
her real ovation at the end of the second
act. There were wonderful moments in
her acting. A long kiss, at the close of the
love duet In the second act took the
breath away from the audience. Her
death scene-she is strangled by her jeal-
Gus father-in-law-was one Of the best
things she ever has done. 1t was grip

zari, as the blind father, did not make
the best of the possibilities which the
part offered. Adamo Didur. who watched
him from tn eaudience has done it better.
Roberto Moranzoni, Metropolitan con-
ductor, was there, and SO was Nine.

The audience was much more mixed
than that at the Metropolitan. There
were men and women of societey, and
in an orchestra seat one man, not used
to grand opera manners, smoked a
cigar during the first act until stopped
by an usher after complaintshad been
made. But regardless Of it's character
the audience was enthusiastic and
gave to Miss Garden and her associ-
ates, including the composer and con-
ductor, a great ovation. ON greater
demonstrations have been heard and
seen at the Lexington except few for
Nine. Amelita Galli-Curci. The per-
formance was full of life and opened

An audience that crowded the ballroom

mornings for this season. The concert
was the 26oth of this series.
Nine. Mabel Garrison. OF the Metropoli-
tan. was to have been one of the soloists,
but an attack of hoarseness prevented her
appearance. Miss Lucy Gates, who has
just returned from a concert tour, took
her place. and. with Miss Florence Easton
and Robert Couzinou, OF the Metropolitan.
and Alfred Cortot. pianist, furnished de-
lightful programme.
Miss Easton's chief contribution was an
aria from "Herodiade." and that Of Miss
Gates an aria from THE Barber of Sc

sung. There were groups of songs. for
each, and finally they gave the letter duet

his methods were a little too strenuous,
and the tone of his orchestra was some
times too loud to be artistic. The COM
pany arrived from Chicago in the after
noon and he had no time for rehearsal.
The acoustics of the Lexington are tricky.
Everything sounds too loud unless toned
down. Perhaps, when he has had an op-
portunity to hear how things sound from
the back of the theatre he will change his
methods. There were some fine moments,
particularly in the first act, and there
always is a temptation to clash cymbals
and crash with the brass in the big mo-
ments of the second act. But there can
be no doubt that he is a leader capable OF
his players, and everything he
did had life and energy. Smoothness and
finesse were apparent at times but not
often enough.
Carlo Galefn was to have made his
debut as Manfredo, but has cold, and
on short notice George Baklanoff replaced
him. He has done much better things. He
was best in the second act, but his per-
formance was not as good vocally as

LOWER PRICES FOR
FURS ARE EXPECTED

st. Louis, Mo-, July 5.-Reduction in
price of fur garments may be expect
ed this autumn as a result of declines
registered in the raw pelt market at
the recent auction at the international
Flu Exchange here, according to on1-
Gals of the exchange.
The lower prices are anticipated,
the furmen declared, despite an i'm
pending fur shortage and indications
for an unprecedented demand for furs.
The drop at the last auction. which
averaged 25 per cent below the Feb
ruary quotations, when new high lev
els were reached, affected virtually all
the Offerings at the sale, at which
more than 13,00O, 900 skins were dis
posed of. These pelts embraced about
so varieties and, it was said, repre-
| scented a considerable share of E1e
/ worlds supply. Total receipts approx
mated $4,000, 900.
The downward trend, which brought
the sales back to approximately the
| basis of last year, was ascribed to the
tightness in the money market: Less
than a dozen varieties Of furs, 1t is
said, failed to show a change where
! comparisons were available, and these
comprised only a small percentage Of
the offerings. The greatest decline was
IS per cent which was registered by
blue fox. .
Declines. it was said,' should react
favorably for the fur trade by lower
ing the prices of the commoner varie-
! ties and consequently increasing their
demand. This. officials for the fur ex-
change said, will be evidenced o In
such varieties as muskrat, mink, rae
coon, squirrel Ind opossum, as the av-
erage cost of these ranges from 50
cents to $50 a pelt. These skins, fur
men say, constitute the major portion
of the furs worm.
Approximately a quarter of a billion
of dollars are said to have been spent
for furs in the United States in the
past wear.
