On Monday night. near eight o'clock. the great golden curtains of the Met ropolitan Opera House swung aside and another season of singing began. Mir Gatti of the handsome head has made his usual announcement of new singers and new works and revivals, though nothing very exciting has shown itself on the opera schedule as yet. Madame Galli-Curci. singing at her best. filled the opera house last Sunday for the seasons first big con cert. The musical honors of the week, however. went to the Society Of the Friends of Music. who on Monday evening at The Town Hall gave a su- nerb rendition of "Le Roi David a splendid choral work by the young French composer, Henneger. On Tues day, in West Fifty Seventh Street, the Steinway Company opened it's new hall for Chamber music, with Josef Hoffman playing to an audience which far outnumbered the limited spaces of the auditorium, since the music was broadcasted through many stations and was undoubtedly heard in Wind ham County.

By all odds the commonest and most vulgar and at the same moment the funniest and the best cast play in New
 York today IS bit entitled Cradle Snatchers,s with Miss Mary Roland in the leading role. There is nothing in the vernacular of the ordinary that cannot be said about Cradle Snatch CTS" It is broad in line and risky in situation, and it's story, the revenge ful and inebriated houseparty of cer- tain matrons with a group of college boys. is none too pretty. But for all it's vulgarity, the play is the thing, for il is a good play and expertly acted. However, it is not for those of prud- ish sensibilities. but if you can stand

New York. Nov. 8. 1925.
 New York faces the winter. In Central Park the leaves fall from the trees, and swan boats are canvas-cov- cred and the flat bottom craft where the boys and girls from the Bronx and the Battery hoated about on summer waters are piled high ashore in order Y, geometfieai groups. On the Ave nue workmen are hastening to com plete mountainous buildings that re- place this and that familiar landmark Hotels and theatres are crowded. The opera began on Monday. Awnings form narrow chasms before many churches where autumn brides move to the altars. In the concert halls new faces and old favorites are beginning the years routine of music. In fact. New York Is at her smartest and best. ready to step into that winter season which makes her the matchless center of the world from November to mid January, when bright clear sunny days and crisp cold nights are a tonic to manifold activities.

 some of the best plays and the most
