''The Merry Widow" Back
 At Parsons Next Week

Franz Lehar. the composer of 'The
 Merry Widow" was not at all certain of the merits of his score during the
 course of its rehearsals at the thea
 ter an der Wien in Vienna. where 1t
 was originally produced on January
 1, 1906 So much was he In doubt as to it's worth that he and the pro- dncer Wilhelm Karczag, decided tc bar the newspaper critics from the full dress rehearsal--it being the cus- tom in that city to allow these writ CTS to attend this rehearsal in order to prepare their reviews.
 One critic, however, Ludwig Kar- path of Neues Wiener Tagblatt, pre- sented himself at the dress rehearsal. and insisted on being admitted. He was such Q power of the press in Vienna that they did not dare offend him. So Lehar explained to him that the reason they had barred the cri- ties was that they were sure they had an awful failure in the new piece but they would let him in if he would promise not to write 1t up before- hand.
 Karpath entered and watched the first act in sullly silence after the dubious welcome he had received, but after the next act he had forgotten all his ill humor. and rushing enthus- isatically Up to Lehar and Karczag he told them that they were fools; and that they had the greatest success in modern times, and that he demanded as a favor to offset the slight they had at first put upon him that they give the producing rights for Leipzig to q friend of his who owned q theater there and was bankrupt through re- peated failures.
 This the author and producer promised to do. and the critic im- [ wired his manager friend in Leipzig to wire to Vienna for the rights, which he at once did and made a fortune as the result.

The little star played in Stamford and Bridge port, Conn. and in Spring. field, Mass. In Bridgeport, at Polls Majestic theater the gross receipts for one performance on Wednesday night, April lth, amounted to $l.072 which is the largest one night stand business for a new at- traction near New York in theatrical history. The gross takings for the week amounted to nearly s20,000. As MT. Savage is an advocate of low prices, this means that the little star played to ultra capacity houses in the three cities.
