Lippincott Co, Philadelphia. An admirable and scholarly estimate or mirror of the gentle personality and work of William T. Richards, the celebrated artist, who was born In Philadelphia, November 14, 1833, and who has attained distinction as a painter of American pictures of the sea in all of Its moods. In his day Mr. Richards was influ enced by Turner and English art, and it is stated that he became an imitator of the " former, with large ambitious canvases of which the chief merit lay In the most skilful drawing. Richards was a passionate lover of nature, espe cially marine scenes affecting the sea and the ocean. He was so much of a vlsualist that to understand the moods of the sea and its ever changing col or, he used to spend hours gazing at It and storing in his brain its many beauties. No wonder common people not passionately interested in art thought Richards "queer." Yet with all his inborn love for the sea. and al though he knew how to swim and taught his children to do so, it is stated that Richards never learned to sail a boat, and rowed only in a most unprofessional way. Peace be to his ashes, and although he has passed on, his art Is recognized as a potent force in America today. Eighteen exquisite page pictures are given in the book. 14 of them reflect ing the sea Richards loved so well. Mr Friends at Brook Farm, by John Van Der Zee Sears. $1.2.'-. Desmond Flta gerald. Inc.

GRAND OPERA SEASON IN NEW YORK OPENS AND NEW STARS SHINE FORTH Mile. Bori Is Young Spanish Soprano Who Wins Critics at Once Caruso and Scotti in Excellent Voices Frem stad Recovers From Ptomaine Poison in Time Ethel Parks Will Sing German Eole. BY EMILIE FRANCES BAUER. NEW YORK, Nov. 23. (Special.) For the large majority of music lovers in New York the musical season is not regarded as open until the, doors of the Metropolitan Oper- House are unlocked and the great horseshoe Is filled with the most bril liant gems and the most splendid gowns, to say nothing of the occupants of the boxes. The opening night brought forward several Interesting features, and the audience which assembled was one of the most brilliant that can be con ceived. There were a number of plans that went awry, but the week's offer ings in no way showed the Inconve nience to which the direction had been put. The first serious reversal of reper tory for the opening week came about when Mme. Frieda Hempel, the Ger man coloratura soprano, became 111 on the eve of her departure to join the Metropolitan Company and to sing in The Huguenots, which had been planned for the opening performance. In place of this the opening opera was "Manon Lescaut, by Puccini, a work which bad not been sung at the Metro politan for about four years, and in place of Mme. Hempel as novelty, Mile. Bori was presented. Spanish Soprano Well Liked. The young Spanish soprano made a very favorable impression, as she Is exceedingly beautiful and she sings unusually well. Her impersonation of the title role was one of much appeal. of telling interest, and her voice Is faultless in intonation. When, in addi tion to a novelty of this degree of charm, the popularity and the great art of both Caruso and Seoul are brought to bear, the success of an opening is assured. There was no easy task for Giorgio Polacco, who appeared with the Metro politan Opera Company to open a sea son in the presence of an audience de voted to Toscaninl and Alfred Hertz and accustomed to the Italian con ductor for the openings, which are usually effected with Italian opera, but Polacco brought through his share of the performance creditably and estab lished himself as a valuable member of the Metropolitan forces. Wednesday evening's programme was unsettled, as well as Saturday after noon, as Mme. Fremstad, who was to have made her reappearance this sea son as Brunnhilde in "Die Goetter daemmerung" in the evening and as Venus in "Tannhauser" the following Saturday, wajS overtaken with pto maine poison and recovered sufficiently to do the lighter role of the two, for which reason "Tannhauser" was given Wednesday evening and "Die Goetter daemmerung" on Saturday afternoon. Taunhaiiser" Big Success. "Tannhauser," with its constant flow of luscious melody and Its appealing love theme, has never been heard to greater advantage than this season, when Alfred Herts gave it with in finite care of detail and wonderfully effective treatment of the splendid or chestra. From the throbbing, glowing overture to the last measure every part was replete with Interest and with .beauty. The audience was warm and enthusiastic and lavished not only cur tain calls galore upon the artists, but upon Mr. Hertz each time he came to bis chair. Mme. Fremstad showed no traces of indisposition, but gave a Venus we have come to know well and to love. Mme. Destinn brought great beauty to the part of Elizabeth and her voice has never been more clear, more pure of quality and more even In its range. She is direct and simple and exceedingly appealing by her quiet manner. Slezak, in the title role, was a welcome- adjunot to the opera, as he is one of the greatest singers who have ever come to the stage, and his majestic bearing always lends dis tinction to any opera in which he ap pears. His companions in size ,as well as In equipment for each role sup ported the artistic side and the picture as well. These were Herbert Wlther epoon as the Landgrave, William Hin shaw, Basil Ruysdael. . Julius Bayer with Hermann Well and Albert Reiss, the only ones under the six-foot di mensions. Mr. Well's Wolfram was a worthy piece of work. "La Gioconda" was given for the third offering with Mme. Destinn in the title role resplendent In a -complete set of new costumes and in voice as fresh and as beautiful as though she had not sung the exacting role of Eliza beth the evening before. Caruso In admirable voice aroused the audience to a real frenzy after his aria "Clelo e Mar," and this was the first appear ance of Mme. Homer and of Amato, both of whom received real ovations at the hands of a public that has come to regard- them as among the greatest favorites at the opera-house. Farrsur Is Heard. The ballet which has heretofore been well nigh a blot on most per formances at the Metropolitan shows a new hand in charge and a powerful one. The second Puccini opera in the first, week was given Friday evening, when "Madame Butterfly" served to bring forward Geraldine Farrar, and with ber Riccardo Martin and Rita Fornia, also in their first appearances this season. Miss Farrar always finds one of her best mediums in this . role and she makes it most appealing even though " she is not always In the very . best of voice. Mr. Martin just back from a highly success ful concert tour was in bis usual good form as Pinkerton and he sang with a fresh manly voice. Scotti was the usual debonnair, but sympathetic American consul and proved for the second-time this week that his voice is In fine condition and. the polish of his art is one of the best assets of the Metropolitan stage. Mme. Fornia s Suzuki is a real gem and makes the quartet one that is per fectly balanced. Sturant, another Ital ian conductor, and one who was taken over last season from the Philadelphia forces, made his first appearance of the season. Saturday afternoon all the Wagne rian favorites were in line, including Mme. Fremstad in her wonderful im personation of Brunhilde, Burrlan 'as Siegfried, . Putnam Griswold as Hagen and a Ions list of very Important and highly capable singers. It is a signifi cant fact that most of the great Wag nerian singers are Americans, and many of the foreigners suffer much by comparison. Alfred Hertz again gave a very moving and impressive perform ance and the orchestra was one of the most superb phases of the offering. Mr. Hertz has had the preparation of the first revival that will be brought forward at the Metropolitan this sea son to occur next Saturday afternoon, when "The Magic Flute," by Mozart, will have its first performance since 1903-04, when Felix Mottl gave it four performances and before that it had not been sung in- many years. American to Slug Role. It will be sung in German and al though it was brought' into the reper tory of this season tor Mme. Hempel It will be given before her arrival, with Ethel Parks, an American soprano who has sung successfully in Italy and in Russia in the role of Queen . of the Night, which Mme. Hempel was to have sung. The cast will Include many notable members of the company, in cluding Mmes. Destinn, Alten, Homer, Mattfeld, Curtis, Sparkesr M. Slezak, Griswold, Goritz and a long list of others. The second week of the opera season will have for their first hearings "Koenlgskinder," "Cavalleria Rustl cana," "Pagllaccl," "Faust" and "Manon Lescaut" will be repeated. At the Sun day night concert of the first week Zimballst was the special attraction and for the second week Miscba Elman Is announced.. j The principal play that opened this week was "Bella Donna," with Nasi mova as the heroine of the novel by Robert Hichens, which has been one of the most important productions that Charles Frohman counts upon making this year. This play was put on at the St. James Theater in London a year ago, with Mrs, Patrick Campbell in the title role, and the New York produc tion met with such instantaneous suc cess that Mr. Frohman will put out several companies at once. As in the case of "The Garden of Allah," the novelist has handled with great fidelity the characteristics of Egypt, with its Oriental mystery and magnificence and the absence of the conventionalities of civilization, conventionaltles which have well nigh eliminated poetry, ro mance and fantasy from the civilized world. Nazimova has found in this a role which suits to perfection the elements lor fuli information regarding Any Book Old or New Write, Call oa Phans Meier & Frank's Basement BooK Store Pri Ex.

White celebrated his 80th birthday, and Cornell University and the City of Ithaca paid tribute to the first president of the university and the city's distinguished citizen. Ceremonies were held on the quaa- ranerle in front of Goldwin Smith Hall, and,. though a drenching rain was fall ing, 6000 students, members of the board of trustees and the faculty stood with heads bared in honor of the ven erable educator and statesman. When the chimes in the library tower played Alma Mater," the central figure at tne demonstration removed his hat, and. with his gray head bared, himself hon ored the university of which, with Ezra Cornell, he was the founder. From all parts of the world messages of congratulation have poured in upon Him, starting several days ago, when President Taft telegraphed his felicita tions, and running in a steady stream ever since. Mrs. White proudly sorted them out, while hundreds shook her husband's hand. Among the telegrams that pleased Dr.- White most was one from the German Emperor, who'formed a strong attachment for him when he was the American Ambassador at Ber lin. The message, sent from Neues palais, was: . "On the occasion of your 80th birth day, I send my most heartfelt wishes and hope that many other happy years may follow. The work you did here during your stay is unforgotten by me. "WILLIAM, I. R." '' .

He has been made known and much discussed in this country by the production of his plays, notably, "Han nele," "The Weavers" and "The Sunken Bell." He has been accepted by some as the successor of Goethe. But even if that Is too much, there can-be no question about his power as a play wright. The first piece which made him famous in Germany was "Before Sunrise." Ho has been accused of hav ing founded himself upon Ibsen, but his defenders say they have easily dis proved that charge by referring to his work especially in "Hannele" and "The Sunken Bell," which disclose a brilliant Quality of poetic imagination, mystic and symbolic. Sometimes he goes too far beyond the general intelligence to win universal appreciation. .
