Quite aside from the Philippines, where they fritter away their time from 8.16 to 11, they are #0 well suited to ench other In their comedy methods that they radiate the warmth which only good nature can produce. Much of the humor takes the simple form of a play upon words, for which the author, Guy Bolton, should not, perhaps, be called to account, Ginee it is a notorious fact that musical comedy actors have a lamentable weakness for helping themselves tO laughs by putting in a word of two of the obvious variety as they go along. By all odds the funniest line in the piece Is thrown out by Mr. Carle when he and Mise Cahill indulge in a bur- Jeaque of the domentic drama that depends upon the eternal and infernal nimous Vote for Dream- Resolution Looked for © An Board of Aldermen.

Mayor Cyrus Porkins Walker of Delhi, Tex., who came to New York to gather data for @ series of lectusos under the auspices of the Delht Wom- |en's Betterment League, decided taxt night to visit a dancing place atop a big theatre and see if he could not obtain material there for a talk to of the Dreamiand site at Island into a public beach with | bath similar to the one t through the efforts of Tho ve World, As Commissioner i favors the public beach plan ibd will state his ‘views to-day, the Miss Xe Mag Deary —<—— — \ IN “DANCIN &ROVONGY an THE ‘Z dE SEES will, on Monday,. outline the to be taken to Mt out the new beach in time for the summer to the 5 Members of the Hoard of Aldermen every section of the city who been interviewed by The Kve- World favor the public beach Municipal bath house scheme at Uy Gaye Alderman Henry Curran, ma- leader of the board: “I don't ‘bew any city official could reasun- triangle for its pilot.

Don't go in there!” Whereupon there is the sound of curtains hurled back, and the resourceful Mr. Carle stands forth with the desperate ohalienge: “Remember, 1 am @ guest tn your house!” As a bit of burlesque this Is quite the best thing of the season, and Mise Cahill and Mr, Carle carry it off so well that there's nothing to do but Ne back in your chair and laugh at all the plays of this sort you've ever seen. At other times Miss Cahill has & simple, beautiful way of expressing herself. “Dost get me?’ she mur- murs, “1 dust,” answers Mr. Carle, suiting the word to his exit.

HE Biltmore® entered the lists yesterday with hotels giving high-class concerts, at high prices, that threaten to put ordinary big Ball Room was crowded half an hour before noon, and in the audience wore many people of artistic as well 8 of social prominence. The aco:is- as Geraldine Farrar admitted to mé after the musicale was ovér. The drawback, on the level floor, fas found in the women’s hats and Plumes that kept them, as well as the rest of us, from seeing the artists. The programme was a triumph for its maker, First mention must be made of Miss Farrar, @ charming vision in blue (when we could get a glimpse of her) who sang in her best voice’ and in her most arfistic manner songs in English, and in French, and in Ger- man. Nearly every woman stood up and craned her neck to get a glimpse of her, and Miss Farrar was worth while. Then there was Pablo Casals, ‘cellist, probably unrivalled in his field, who played Bach, and Faure, and Schumann, and Saint-Saens, and Dvorak, and Popper to the delight of everybody; and that modest young Italian tenor, who looks scarcely out of his teens, Luca Botta, who sang delightfully the “Che Gelida Manina” from “La Boheme” .and the serenata from Mascagn| ris,” to mention no more, and won everybod: approval. The accompanist Richard Hageman, a fine young con- ductor from the Metropolitan Opera Company, who can hold his own with the best in this capacity and who in the larger accomplishment as a con- ductor is becoming a factor to be con- sidered seriously in competition with men whose names on the programme are more familiar. Yet it was Miss Farrar who was the hit of the Tho Moments Musicales avec Deh- ses Moderns et Classiques at the Waldorf-Astoria, yesterday _ after- noon, under the direction of Ottokar Bartik, drew the biggest audience of the season. The soloista were Alfred Tima, baritone; Christine Muller, soprano, and Earle La Ross, pianist.
