Did You Hear

AVID BELASCO has OF course
l captured one Of the big prizes
Of grand opera IN making
contract with Geraldine Farrar for her
services at the end OF three seasons Of
concert. but he has also helped him
self to the services OF another member
of Giulio Gattf- Casazza's aviary with
out saying a word about Il until this
time. Yet he admitted yesterday to a
reporter OF THE NEW York HERALD that
he had made a contract with Mary
Ellis, who has been for the last three
seasons one Of the most conspicuous OF
the younger members In the company
at the metropolitan.
Miss Ellis especially distinxuished
nerseif as an actress whenever her roles
gave her the opportunity. In Louise"
Tor instance. she was especially praised
for her acting as one OF the apprentices
In the dressmaker's sewing room. Her
talent attracted the attention OF Mr..
Belasco, who even includes the Metro
poiitan Opera House in his search for
fresh talent. Miss Ellis after a few such
successes decided that she preferred a
career on tho dramatic stage. Mr..
Belasco remembered her from her per-
formance in Louise" So she naturally
sought out his theatcr and under his
direction she will this year begin her
career as an actress.
And by way Of giving her the oppor-
tunity that her talents deserve, che Is
to play the part OF Nor-ssa In David
warfeld's performance OF Tho Mcr-
chant OF Venice"

Management to make no change in
the prices, Notwithstanding that the

Lakewood must be maintained thru

ayers who are travelling every day
may obtain Communication tickets at
reduced rate, and on Sunday the zoe
are to the lake the same as last year
will be in effect. After careful con
