SAGE TEA TURNS
 GRAY HAIR DARK
It's Grandmother's Recipe Bring Back Color and
 Lustre to Hair.

That beautiful, even shade of
 dark glossy hair can only be had by brewing a mixture of Sage
 Tea and Sulphur. Your hair is
 your charm. It makes or mars the face. When it fades, turns gray or streaked, just an applica- tion or two of Sage and Sulphur
 enhances it's appearance hun
 dredfold.
 Don't bother to prepare the mixture; you can get this famous old recipe improved by the addi ton of other ingredients at Il
 small cost, all ready for use. It is called Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
 Compound. This can always he depended upon to bring back the natural color and lustre of your hair.
 Everybody uses "Wyeth's" Sage and Sulphur Compound now be- cause it darkens so naturally aud evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through the hair, taking one small strand at a time: by morning the gfSy hair has disappeared, and after another application it becomes beautifully dark and appears glossy and lus- |trous. adv.

partner and to demonstrate that he
might have succeeded as a writer and
composer OF these mongrel things
which in the theatrical terminology of
to-day are cclled 'revues."
The acts which follow lead US into
familiar scenes-such as the homes of
I Manon Lescaut and Violetta Valery-
and call up familiar incidents. Away
/ from the noisy hustle of the mimic the
ater there is no occasion for an en-
/ semi BILE, and SO one is created. Through
( the windows of the home of Nine. Du-
fresne Tin the third act) there floats
the sound of a song Of blanchisseuses
washing garments in the Seine, like the
japanese washerwomen in Mascagni's
Iris"
There must, of course, be a chorus
Tor the sake Of variety; not only q
chorus, but something different from
the wild and incongruous hilarity Of
the first act and the love music of the
second.
Soothing Rural Strains
So we have some gracious, tranquil,
soothing rural strains which introduce
and finally buoy up the song Of the
women on the river bank and invites
to pretty fancies touching the lovely
Seine scenery
A frank borrower, albeit a clever
adaptef of the ideas OF other men. was
Leoncavallo. We reach the scene be-
tween 2aza and Toto. Dufresne's little
daughter, whose artless prattle and
sweet innocence purify the heart of
the wanton. Here the author con-

The dialogue between Zaza and Toto

evoked by the music than the singing
Of the woman. If the entire scene had
been treated as melodrama we would
have been spared the abruptly alter
mating plunges from one element of
dramatic expression into another.
Finest Music in Score
Yet the music, thanks largely to
Cherubini, is some Of the finest in the
score, and the emotional poignancy
with which Miss Farrar sobbed out
the quasi-melodiou speech and made
1t intensity her really marvellous de-
notement of heart-breaking grief, was
the eliminating moment of the opera
and more efficaciops in working
atonement for the vileness Of the char
acter that she was impersonationg
than all the words Of self-abasement
and contrition which the author put
into her mouth.
In 1t she approached ideality in one
direction, as she did fragrant, vulgar
realism in her shameless exhibition of
vicious enimalism In the scene in which

she wins the embraces Of Dufresne In
the first act.
That exhibition, it might as we'll be
said, out -,Gardened everything that
Mary Garuen ever has done.
Mr.. Belasco's Touch
The ingenious and formative hand
Of Mr.. Belasco was evident in Miss
farrar's acting, and the reflected halo.
II that be the proper term, Of Mrs.
Leslie Garter in her crown Of Titan
red hair. Leoncavallo followed the
original book of the play and left the
delectable heroine Of the story torn
with distraction at the departure Of
the man whom she had told to go,
go, ,go!" after he. had confessed that
he loved his wife better than her.
Mr.. Belasco completed the "purifica-
tion" of the lady by making her de-
vote herself so assiduously to her art
that she became great, wealthy and,
therefore, respectable singer. This
made more complete, If more con-
ventional. ending to the play than that
of the opera, which leaves matters in
that suspense which is supposed to be
dramatic. Leoncavallo's music did not
seem to stir last nights audience near
ly as much as Miss Farrar's garish
and astonishing dresses. 1t is tuneful
reminiscent Of his earlier writings and
those of other men. 1t fits the play
most snugly in the first act, where it
is replete with dance rhythms and has
a fluent flow. Of Miss Farrar's asso-
ciates in the performance, only Mr..
Amato calls for words Of commenda-
ton for combined action and song. He
gave fine, convincing impersonation
of warm hearted, sound Drained,

he had lifted out of the gutter and
trained to the popular triumphs which
he celebrated with her.
He never permitted the sentimental
ist to obtrude himself. The majority
Of the others implicated in the plot
had little to do except to walk about
in the first act and shout more or less
in harmony with the orchestra.
Miss Kathleen Howard had the char
acter of the heroines's gin-bibbing
mother to enact-an eccentric part
Which needed great comicality to be
effective, but which was marred by
cxtravagances in action and song. Mr..
Crimi showed little aptitude for char
acterization of any sort. He thought
it sufficient to sing as we'll as the
music and his ability permitted him.
Though the opera was announced on
the program as performing for the
first time in America. it had received
Representations in Chicago, whittier it
was carried by Mr. Hammersteir's
singers when they became the Chicago
Opera Company. Possibly also in
Sar. Francisco, Montreal and New
Orleans. This, however, is inconse-
quential. Miss Marmen Melis could
not do for it in Chicago what Miss
Farrar unquestionably did for it last
night-gave it chance for life in the
Metropolitan list for two or three
seasons at least.

Nine. Olga Samaroff Scores
In Two Liszt Concertoa

!, At her successive appearances with
the Philharmonic Society this week
Nine. Olga Samaroff, wife of Leopold
Stokowski conductor of the Philadel-
phia Symphony Orchestra, set herself
the task of playing two piano concertos
by Liszt. Having given the work in
e fiat major on Thursday evening, it
was the turn Of the Concerto in A
major yesterday afternoon. This time
the quality of her tone was more sym
pathetic than on the previous occa-
sion, and her treatment of the music
was less episode Nine. Samaroff has
qualities that will always win for her
the applause of an audience. She also
has qualities that command the re-
spect of those who are more inter
ested in an executant than in an in
terpreter.

Flute" Beethoven's Symphony No. in
G minor, OPP. 67, Florent Schmitt's bril-
liant "Viennese Rhapsody" Op. SO. an

Canadian Board
For ROckefeller's,
Fund Is Unlikely
DIR. Vincent Denies Report
That a Commission Will
Be Named to Dispense
Aid to Medical Schools

The Rockefeller Foundation an
nounced yesterday that it was improb-
able that Canadian commission would
be appointed to administer that part
of John D. Rockefeller's $4,000, 900
Christmas gift to mankind which is to
be devoted to the needs of medical
education in Canada. The announce
ment was made, it was said, in re-
sponse to nunberous inquiries as 10
the policy to be adopted in connection
with the gift to Canada.
Mr.. Rockefeller wrote to the founda-
tion in making the gift that he i'm
posed no restrictions as to its use,
but that, as the General Educaeion
Board was restrained by its charter
from using in Canada any of his re-
cent $20,000,000 contribution toward
medical education, IF your board (the
foundation's) should see fit to use any
part of this new gift in promoting
medical education in Canada, such ac-
tion would meet with my cordial ap-
prevail"
DR.. George E. Vincent, president Of
the foundation, announced at the time
that the trustees would be asked to set
aside 100000 Of the $4,000 900 for
Canadian medical schools on condition
that they raise additional funds from
other sources. The foundation said
yesterday in its statement:
Reports have gained currency to the
effect that the Foundation will formal
ly appoint Canadian commi ssion to
act in behalf of The board. While no
meeting of the trustees Of the Fcun-
dation has been held and no defin te
decisions have been reached. certain
lines of policy may be confidently pre-
dicted. The Foundation is not likely
to appoint in any formal or official way
special committee for administering
the gift to Canada.
at is true that no program for CO.
operation in Canada will be adopted
by the Foundation until after confer
ence with large number Of promi-
nent Canadians, representing all the
significant institutional and geograph-
ical interests in the Dominion.
"The officers have solicited from q
number of Canadians suggestions as to
persons with whom conferences should
be held. Nothing further has been
done, and above all no appointments to
an official commission have been made
or are likely to be made"
