hands of the executive council of the

dressing rooms that shall not only be
sufficient in number for the class of

Shuberts' Ambassador

Is First of the Six New Houses
Being Constructed in
This CITY

The Ambassador is to be the name of
The first of the six new theaters the
Shuberts are building. Its first sea-
son is to be inaugurated in January.
The Ambassador is in Forty ninth
Street, just west of Broadway. Its
seating capacity will be 1,2O0.
The chief novelty Of the building is
the fact that it runs diagonally from
corner to corner upon the plot. In the
first few weeks of its cons struction it
was known as the "triangle" theater.
BY this arrangement "a larger seating
capacity is gained. The steel construc-
tion is known as the skeleton type. All
the weight of the floors rests on steel
columns, the walls Of the theater en-
closing only the structure, so that if
the walls were removed at any time
the interior of the theater would re-
main intact as far as the floors, the
balcony and the stage are concerned.
The steel work was completed in the
record time of three weeks. The in
terror of The Ambassador will conform
to the Adam period. Herbert j. Knapp
is the architect and Edward Margolies
is the builder.
The Shubcrts were the first pro-
ducers to venture as far north as Fiji
tieth Street, which they did when they
erected the Winter Garden. Their new
theaters in New York are the Thirty
ninth Street, Maxine Elliott's, Comedy
Shubert, Forty-fourth Street, Nora
Bayes, Broadhurst, Booth, Plymouth,

rolf, a Czecho-Slovak singer who ap-
peared here several years ago.
The usual curiosity inspired by the
opportunity of hearing an opera singer
in recital drew a large audience to
Carnegie Hall for Mr.. Schipa's concert.
Either it is his habit to use his voice
more carefully in concert, or the tenor
has marvellously improved in style,
Tor in his work yesterday there was
smootnness in phrasing, respect for
the melodic line, wholly lacking from
ms operate performances last season.
This Improvement naturally resulted
in the more effective display of a beaA
tltul voice full of warmth and youthful
yigor. Of course his singing has the
directness and simplicity of the Italian
school, but barring Me foolish and
spectacular prolongation of certain ef-
tectlve notes, as in Giordani's "Car
Milo Ben" too often a trick of opera
singers, there was artistry in this
directness.

marked purity of style, and in this as
