This latest importation from Chicago | contains innumerable melodious num- pers, but last night's large and plainly delighted audience clearly showed its preference for the charming chorus o! the stein song. It is Aubrey Bouci- et ult’s sentimental Prince sét to music. 4 ‘The score is a succession of “eatcny”* airs and stirring choruses. — Gustav Luders has been more than bountiful in his contributions, and has far ex- celled the music he wrote for “The Burgomaster" and “King Dodo.” “prince?

The company 4s the best that Henry | W.

BATHING GIRLS IN THE NEW MUSICAL coMEDY, “ THE, PRINCE OF PILSEN,”’ WHICH IS COL. SAVAGE’S LATEST OFFERING TO THE CITY’S GAYETY, STAGE SCHOOL CREAT SUCCESS It’s Free, Too, and Was Launched by Klaw & Er- langer, Who Need Fresh Tal- ent for Many Shows. HUNDREDS ALREADY JOINED. Just a Little Talent Required, and Applicants May Become Actors and A in Time for the Fall Opening. resses If you see a young and particularly enthusiastic tripping up Broad- way toward the Knickerbocker Theatre, It doesn’t ‘necessarily mean that she is @ raw recruit to the comic opera ranks of some musical production. Not in tne is going to school, and at the Knickerbocker Theatre. The opening of Columbia Univers|ty 1s scarcely attended by more heart beats and. half-timid enthusiasm of callow freshmen than ia the newest venture on the “Great White Way.” which means that Klaw & Erlanger have opened @ free stage echool, and now the books are open for registration, and every day aspiring prima donnas and embry i? tenor heroes are filing into the theatre to see if they may be admitted into the classes, Five Hundred Papils Now. Over five hundred have been accepted and enrolled so far, and, judging from the way “scholars” are seeking admit- tance, the membership will soon reach $00, It 1s Klaw & Erlanger’s intention to enroll this number during the sum- } {mer, and if the list of desirable appli- | jeants warrants the number will be in- creawed to over 1.00. ‘Nhe school for chorus “girls and boys” means that the status of the “merry merry” is to be raised this coming dameo! instructors in the new enterprise. And what an outpouring of aspiring talent 1s flocking into the Kickerbocker! Young girls and old girls, girls with | voices, girls without—girls who want to! go on the stage and should—girls who | want to and wouldn't be allowed to! ‘last’ more than five minutes before | the footlights—girls in squirrel cots, and girls in short dresses—some in hansoms —some not—all kinds of girls are seeking admittance Into the new schools. And the chorus men! Ben D. Stevens, who 1s principal—that 1s, director of the echool—says he has pupils from the’ very best familtes, young fellows who are anxious to begin at the bottom and work their way up. The School's Faculty. ‘The corps of instructors so far at the chorus girls’ seminary consists of Ben D. Stevens, head master; Herbert Gresh- am, “Professor of stage business; “Professor” of dancing; Frederick Solomon, ‘Professor of mu- sic. After the school is formally opened a number of assistants will be cessful comle opera, say Klaw & Er- to chorus girls trying for positions, weason—say the professors—that {s the | who employed to instruct in the different branches, The free school is being run at a big expense by Klaw & Erlanger, but It is their bellef that when the fall sea- son opens and they engage over two thousand chorus people for thelr va- rious productions their undertaking will more than repay them. Every pupil of tfe school will be placed by the firm this fall. The object of the school is to give Proper Instructions to young men and women who are really adapted to stage careers. The chorus is more an important factor becoming more and in the suc- langer, and therefore should be recog- nized as an élement jn stage produc- tions to be carefully trained. To do away with certain objectionable phases of the chorus is a motive also in es- tablishing the school. The candidates are put through an examination just as In a regular school, and some of the efforts to break into the chorus ranks are particularly <tren- uous, ‘The examination for admittance 1s not as rigid as the ordinary tests given but the trained eves and ears of the new “faculty” can tell whether they de- sire candidates or not. First, Frederick Solomon has the candidates run the scale. If they have any voice at all they are turned over to the next degree If they can't sing they are not placed on the list unless they have a particu- larly attractive personality and indica- tions of a dancer.
