One OF the most artistic produc-

The two artists who will sing the

while they cheered and sang. His

,praise. Miss Garrison also achieved
fame in her singing in the same
opera. Her doll Song" is praised
Everywhere.
The production will be unusual In
that. under the direction of Jacques
Samassoud, the company will follow
the original score and not the much
shortened opera usually given. The
full opera, it is claimed. has never been
given in America before. Mr.. Samas

his farewell performance as a con-
cuctor of the Russian Imperial Opera
Company in ST. Petersburg.
Other members of the cast include

AS to comedy, there was less of it
at Polls than the afternoon when
Mr.. Barrymore, stricken with evil
dent penitence for having narrowed
the feelings of the audience with a
picture of the dismal Dane, came to
the footliehts between the acts and
told a series of anecdotes in negro
dialect. 1t was a master stroke of
fun, though it may be doubted
whether conservative English au-
diences will like it when he goes to
London. If the spirit of comic in
novation becomes stronger it will
be only reasonable to expect some
new -Othello to take his banjo on
his knee, and, instead Of smothering
