SERVE TEA AND Bijou Fernandez Is Going to Make an Effort at Matinees to Popularize the New Thea- tre Uptown. SOME GOOD MATERIAL. A Very Creditable Performance of “Aristocracy” Given, Although All the Members Were the Initial Night. Nervous on ‘There is some very goog material in the Herbert stock company, which opened the Circle Theatre with Bronson (Howard's “‘Aistocracy’ last night. There is also some, it might be added, which is not very good. On the whole, how- ever, this new collection of players gave creditable account of themselves, con- eee the nervousness they naturally felt. There was almost more constraint than might have been looked for, Every- body's spinal column acemed to be stiff- ened by the responsibility of a brand new venture. This handicap will doubt- less be overcome ag the members of the company become more used to their aurroundings and begin to recognize fa- miliar faces In the audience, Withal, an interesting performance and one which won much applause was given. Miss Bijou Fernandez had her name fn capital letters. and wore capital gowns, which in some instances made her shoulder-blades stand out like italics. She acted a bit too carefully the role of Diana Stockton, evidently with the well-meaning intention of re- straint. She did well enough, but she ‘will do better in “Jane,"* which Is more to her style. Charles D. Waldron, the leading man, who last season was with the Pike company of Cincinnatl, 1s an excellent choice, As Jefferson Stockton, he, like the others, betrayed a tendency to do things by note, but he reads well and makes a manly appearance. An “old-timer” is Albert Tavernier, who In the days when Ida Van Cortland was his wife had a little stock company of his own, showed himself happily adapted to comedy parts. He was a trifle out of os element as Hamilton Laurence. Good service may be counted on from Mrs. Thomas Barry, who as Mrs. Lau- rence was the only member of the cast who succeeded in being thoroughly natural. ‘The theatre, which is at Broadway and Sixtieth street, has been thoroughly renovated and made into a cosy, pleas- ant place. In an aided effort to popu- Jarive it, Miss Fernandez and her asso- clates will serve tea, chocolate and wafers at receptions to patrons after matinee performances on Wednesdays and Saturdays. ‘A commendatory adjunct is the orches- tra under the direction of Jose Vanden Berg, whom the programme might—but @oesn't—describe as “late of Mrs. Os- born’s Playhouse.” . « * While settling her new husband, Lieut. Fritz Bardeleben, and other belongings ®t the Marlborough, Fritz! Scheff, who will sing Michaela in “Carmen” at the Metropolitan on Saturday night, took time to tefl how It was she didn't re- turn to this country to star In comic opera under the management of the Bhuberts. “Well, the truth Is," said she, with a tender glance toward the adjoining apartment, “I decided not to do so be- cause my husband—that now is—and my people were opposed to the plan, You eee in Germany—I don't know how it Is here—comic opera stars are not con- sidered of so much importance ag grand- opera singers, and my people—and my husband—felt it would be golng back- ward for me to take such a step. What I wanted, of course, was the money. You can get more money quick in comic opera, but you can get quite as much In grand opera if you can only content yourself to wait for it. I've made up my mind to wait.” Mme, Bardeleben hasn't been married Jong enough to have gotten over the habit of calling herself miss, and she's constantly laughing at her forgetful- ness. The wedding took place only a few days before she sailed, so, like Mrs. Pineapple, she is on her honeymoon. ‘The marriage was the sequel to a girl- hood romance, she and the lieutenant having known each other since they were children in Frankfort.

The house rang with laughter. Old opera-goers sat up to take notice, and marvelled at the new stage business that could rob Rossini’s antiquated recitative of {ts monotony. Old Verdict Belled, It Is the fashion to call the Ibretto asked the Connemara Cop. “A lass be th’ name of Abbott,” re- sponded Mr. Hennessy. “Margaret Abbott is her full name.

Whin he got over Sterbioni's book was straight farce com- edy in the Almanz Interpretation, and enhancing the gayety was the exhuber- ant spontanelty of Rossini's melody. “Hats off to M. Almanz, late of Co- vent Garden,” was the verdict of the old-time opera-gocrs. He should have had a curtain eall, though that would have violated ali operatic traditions, Last season Mr. Grau did not print the name of his stage director, possibly for reasons painfully obvious to his patrons throughout the season. Vocally, Mme. Sembrich dominated thé performance as the mischievous Rosina, In her merriest mood and in glorious voice, she Iterally romped through the appalling technical difficulties of Ross- inl's antiquated colorature. She was an arch coquette in her bantering of old Bartolo and a sprightly foll to the vivacity of Figaro In the lesson scene her singing of Strauss’s beautiful waltz, ‘Voce de Primavera," was an exhibition of su- perb vocal equipment and perfect method. She responded to an ovation with a charming ballad of Taubert and then eat down to the piano and sang a Chopin, mazurka, The Honors Divid Rossint's music is so far beyond the compass of most sopranos that she ueu- ally overshadows her associates, but last evenfM every member of the ex- cellent cast compelled a division of the honors.

Irregular hours, indiffer- ent hotels and badly cooked food play smash with their digestion. An old Philadelphia traveller tells how he got the start of his troubles by using Grape-Nuts. “For years T was troubled with a bad stoiach, which gave me constant headaches and pains all through my body, caused by eating improper food. I spent considerable money on doctors, who said I had indigestion, and after taking medicine for a year and it doing me no good I decided to go on a diet, but the different cereals I ate did not help me. If it hadn’t ‘been for the advice of a friend to try Grape-Nuts I might be ailing yet. “I commenced to feel better in a short time after using the food; my indigestion left me, stomach regained its tone so that I could eat anything and headaches stopped. I have gained in weight and have a better complexion than I had for years.
