THE "vAGABONDs" SING.

The members of the Rubinstein

Nell, jr., hero" in the same produc-
ton, in a special program in the small
ballroom of the Willard Hotel yester-
day afternoon.
True to musical comedy star form,
the young folks insisted upon taking
at least one fling each at "gra nd"
opera Miss Thomson chose the Fri
lorna Vincitor" air from Aida" for
hers, and she sang 1t with much vim
and charm. Later she sang THE Mes
sage of the Roses" Mr.. Nell plunged
energetically into the opening tenor
aria from Faust" (Gounod) and also
sang Del Riego's "Homing." Quite the
most successful of their efforts, how
ever, was the love duet from 1.-The
Vagabond King" sung concert style,
which, alas, meant no love-making
but it was highly appreciated just the
same. The informal air of the musical
was delightful, and tea was served

Before the program, Isaac Cans,
