(incorporated) Cor. Washington and First
London Not Interested in Rockefeller and Tar
bell Cathrine Countiss Signs as Lillian Rus
sell's Leading Lady
NEW YORK, June 25. (Special Corre
spondence.) It appears that London
ia not so Interested in John Rocke
feller and Ida Tarbell as is America. This
we may Judge from the fact that Klein's
"The Lion and the Mouse" was not re
ceived with the same degree of enthusi
asm as it was In America. It was with
drawn after three weeks, notwithstand
ing real enthusiasm by publlo and press
on the first night. Margaret Illington, in
private life Mrs. Daniel Frohman, was at
tractive enough to have made the play by
herself. Mr. and Mrs. Frohman arrived
on the Cedric, and no doubt Mr. Froh
man' announcements will be full of In
terest for the theater-goers of this country-
Another American play withdrawn
from the boards in London after a very
short run was "Shore Acres." One might,
however, question the judgment of pre
senting a play not only so essentially
American but so marked in its local in
terest in London, where at best the
American is only taken from his broadest
side. How could London understand the
delicacy and individuality of the Southern
er, of the New Bnglander? How could
the Londoner recognize the type from
Iowa, or from other sections of this cos
mopolitan country? These are all Ameri
cans, but lit addition to being Americans
they are local. We often question wheth
er the New Yorker who lives so in his
own millieu can appreciate the color of
his own country in its remote sections.
There are many people in New York City
to whom the setting and the atmosphere
of "The Girl of the Golden West" were
as foreign as though they had been rep
resentative of some far-away Ifind. One
might well ask how would London adapt
itself to the color of Mr. Belasco's re
markable achievement In this play, which
brings us back to its inability to see the
homely beauty in "Shore Acres," made
famous by that wonderful old man, James
Heme. It is not to be doubted that Lon
don can take and enjoy a great many
attractions from America, but not when
they are in character and in execution of
America American. Characteristic Ameri
can drama has been for a great many
years trying to force itself into its own
country, and with none too much success.
How then can it be expected that Lon
don could accept or understand that which
mu?t seem like coming from a world of
its own.
It will interest friends of Catherine
Countiss to learn that she has been en
gaged as leading woman with Lillian Rus
sell, who will Btar next season.
Nothing more important has occurred
in theatrical circles In a very long time
than the combination of Keith and Proc
tor. This does not mean alone these two
great names well known in the vaudeville
world, but it takes in nearly all the great
vaudeville houses from Maine to Califor
nia. The advantages to be derived from
the merging of these organizations seem
obvious. In the first place they will be
able to keep their companies busy year
in and year out, and the expenses of
moving them around will be very much
decreased. Houses outside of the com
bine are those controlled by Percy Will
iams and Oscar Hammersteln.
Victor Herbert signed a contract
with Joe Weber to write the music for
the next production at the Music Hall.
Mr. Herbert promised to conduct the
opening performance In the event that
other engagements fc not prevent. It
is understood that there will be
trouble, since Maurice Levi, who is
the conductor for Weber, states that
he holds a three years contract both
to conduct and to supply the music
for the Weber productions, and that
he will not conduct the music of any
other composer.
We realize the Summer season Is on
in earnest ifrhen from all the parks
and the recreation piers the sound of
the brass band is heard- In Summer
music it is needless to say that New
York Is especially favored. The most
hardened and unromantic respond to
the throb of the music, even though in
many cases it be not of the very best.
The park concerts are attracting more
people and a different class of people
than heretofore. This is no doubt due
to the fact that Nahan Franko and the
Metropolitan Opera-House Band, or, to
be more correct, a band from the Met
ropolitan Opera-House orchestra, are
to be heard at the mall in Central Park
every .Saturday and Sunday. The fol
lowing programme will show the class
of music that is being enjoyed by the
masses:
PART X-
Prelude "The Star Spangled Banner"
Grand procession. "Queen of Sheba" .Gounod
Overture, "Stradella" Flotow
Prologue from "Parliaccf Leoncavallo
Clarinet solo ........ .
Slgnor Antonio Belluccl.

PART II.
J ubel Overture Weber
Pan Americana Herbert
Reminiscences of Meyerbeer Wieprecht
Prelude Act in "Lohengrin" Wagner
Marche Mllltaire Salnt-Saens
"Hall Columbia."
At the same hour Sunday the hand
gave a Wagner concert, the numbers
including selections from "Parsifal."
"Das Rheingold." ' Die Meisterslnger."
"Lohengrin" and "Tannhauser."
Beginning June 23. Duss and his
band opened at Manhattan Beach for
a week's engagement, and sometime
during the Summer there will be a
monster band concert given as a me
morial to Gllmore. This is most fit
ting at Manhattan Beach, where Gil
more was for so many years a figure
of such importance. The arrange
ments are not yet made, but it Is not
improbable that it will he given In the
nature of a Gilmore festival, running
for several days. By this it is hoped
to make Mrs. Gllmore and daughter
comfortable for the rest of their lives."
It may be seen that this concert will
be different from the others, insofar
as it will be given for financial reve
nue, while the others are part of the
beach attraction.
Arthur Pryor, who has made quite a
name for himself, opened in Willow Grove
when Walter Damrosch completed .lis
engagement at that point. Mr. Pryor has
become almost a noted as bandmaster
as he was whon he was Sousa's star cor
netist. He will be followed by Victor
Herbert, who will go to Willow Grove
with his orchestra July S. after which
Sousa will take his band there until Sep
tember 3. This is the method adopted
for the last few season's, instead of
keeping one orchestra or band as attrac
tion throughout the entire season. Duss,
with his band, will go to Asbury Park.
Juy 1. Walter Damrosch was in New
York during the week closing his ar
rangements for the Winter season of the
New York Symphony Orchestra. June 23
Mr. Damrosch opened again in Ravlnia
Park, just outside of Chicago. This is
a terrible strain on Mr. Damrosch, who
works very hard with his men, not only
before the public but at rehearsals. How
ever, he feels that he wants to make it
worth their while to build the New York
Symphony Orchestra into a permanent or
ganization. It must be conceded that his
efforts along these lines, while Hercu
lean, are meeting with success.
Among those sailing from New York
for Europe last week, was Fannie Bloom
field Zelsler, who, considering the state
of her health within the last few months,
was looking and feeling exceptionally
well. Mrs. Zelsler Is preparing for a tour
which will not be shorter than six months
In duration, and she promises to open at
Carnegie hall. In January. She will re
turn in September, and rest in America
long enough to take things quietly before
opening her tour.
Oscar Hammersteln says he is not wor
ding over the rumors which have been
coming from London to the effect that
Melba has broken down, and that she will
not be able to sing for many months.
No doubt Mr. Hammersteln will be
pleased to hear that his prlma-donna will
be forced to take a rest, since he knows
as well as the rest of us, that it will
put her In better form than ever, and as
the matter now stands, she has given her
press agent a lot of good materials. The
amount of unreliable matter that we are
compelled to take from all sources helps
to make us cynical on all these questions.
There Is no possibility at this season of
giving news without exterior and Interior
decorations, for which no one can be held
responsible. It is now announced that
Emmy Destinn is not coming with the
Metropolitan forces, but that Ternina will
be one of the Metropolitan Company. Ter
nina has not been before the public until
this year in London for a number of
years, her health having broken down
to such an extent that in her case really
It seemed as though she never would be
able to appear in public again. Her suc
cess, however, in London, this year, has
been sensational.
It Is also stated, on good authority, thai
Ysaye Is completely booked for the entire
season in Europe, and that he has no idea
of coming to this country this year, all
reports to the contrray notwithstanding.
EM1LTE FRANCES BAUER.
At the National Capital
WASHINGTON, June 25. (Special Cor
respondencesInstead of drawing nearer
as the days of Summer increase, the date
for adjournment of Congress grows more
distant. Disputes between the executive
and legislative branches of the Govern
ment wax more intense, and disagree
ments between conferees become more
frequent, thus producing in the National
teapot a tempest that bids fair to invade
the homes of legislators. Already more
than one family is torn with conflicting
emotions to stay in Washington so long
as the paterfamilias must attemi the
sessions of Congress or to go with the
children to thei state home is the ques
tion that will not down easily since
schools have closed and the youngsters
are free from care. Therefore, wherever
two or three are gathered together so
cially there will surely be discussed the
plans of Congress. Perhaps no single act
of legislation has led to more specula
tion than the passage of the diplomatic
and consular appropriation bill, which
carried a $5000 salary Increase and a pro
motion in rank for the American Minister
to Turkey.
This action by Congress Is of peculiar
Interest in that it is the first instance of
Uncle Sam's taking the initiative In rais
ing the rank of his representative in a
foreign capital. It also calls for a simi
lar action on the part of the Turkish
government, and the number of Ambas
sadors to Washington will doubtless be
Increased by one before the next formal
season begins. The list will then be ten.
and include representatives of England,
France, Germany, Russia. Austria-Hungary,
Italy, Mexico, Brazil, Japan and
Turkey.
President Roosevelt signed the Congres
sional bill raising the Legation to an Em
bassy, and then with the same pen put
his name to the commission of John G. A.
Leishman, of Pennsylvania, to be Ameri
can Ambassador to Turkey. Mr. Leish
man is the present representative of the
United States at Constantinople, but has
only the rank of Minister. Society now
wants to- know what will become of tie
Turkish Minister to Washington a man
whose position In the diplomatic corps
has been unique ever since he arrived
here in the Spring of 1901. He is listed
on the records of the State Department as
"appointed" envoy extraordinary and
minister plenipotentiary, which means
that he has not been officially presented
to the President, despite his five years'
residence here. And thereby hangs a tale
of Sultanlc procrastination and ministe
rial mortification and social embarrass
ment dating back to a day in July when
Chekib Bey arrived In Washington, ac
companied by his two motherless little
boys and attended by the usual number
of Oriental supernumeraries, none of
whom spoke a word of English.
After paying his respects to Secretary
Hay. the gentleman from Turkey was in
formed through an Interpreter that as
President McKinley had gone to Ohio on
his Summer vacation, the Minister's for
mal presentation would necessarily be de
layed until Fall. An assassin's bullet shot
in Buffalo resulted in the elevation of
Mr. Roosevelt to the Presidency, and ob
viously credentials made out to one Ad
ministration could not be presented to
another, so away to Constantinople went
the appointment of Chekib Bey, there to
await the Sultan's own good time to
change. That they have never been re
turned is no surprise to governments and
individuals acquainted with the Sultan's
habit of never doing today what can be
left until tomorrow, and the position of
Chekib Bey has at least been made bear
able by his would-be confreres in official
life, albeit he is still a man without an
official ralson d'etre and almost a man
without a country.
Count von Hatzfeidt-Wildenburg. who
succeeds Baron von dem Bussche Hadden

matic corps. He Is not a stranger in
Washington, however, as once before he

regretted result of the death of his fath-
