A great hardship Is put lion the artieta and the imprrsaarloa by aj new rollnic aa to dutlee on costumes. mh1 It Is not quite clear why all of a soddon. after all these year artiste Wardrobes should be. held aa dutiable, efpcrta'ly as most of them are foreign ers who unquestionably live abroad, i Garden's "Salome" Costume. LMary Garden's moel discussed cos tume la the ne which she will wear la "Salome." It consists of a marvelous network of teems over which she weara a itorseously embroidered crepe mantle. Jt would be a breach of confidence to irlve away more state secrets. a every one is on the qui vlve to see the divine Mary In this role. I'p to the present time there have been no objections raised In Sew York, ttnt Philadelphia wishes It distinctly understood that Its morals should not be contaminated with tse Strauss-Wilde music drama. However In point of the fact that there have been exhibitions of the "Salome" dance In a number of the variety thea ter of Philadelphia, as well aa in most or the cities of America. It is hardly likely that Mr. Hamniersteln s plans will suftYr from any Interference, as his of fer, ns; is the hiKhest type of art, while tae others are merely -pandering to sen sational tastes. The Manhattan will open Mondav niht with the first perform ance of ""rosea" e.t this house, as the Puccini operas bave always been exclusively property at the Metro politan, but the success with which liammerstein has met h Induced the publishers of the ureal Italian's works to consider the protection as detrimental to their interest. The title role will be assumed by the Countess Maria Labia, a very beautiful youns; Venetian who has made a posi tion for herself at the Opera Comique of Berlin and over whom there was in-ch dicusfion and many threats of revolt from the Ufnnan opera-house. Vlrnaud. always the mreatrst favorite among; the ,li4rlton"s of the world, will sins; the part of Scarpia, which Is m.rably fitted to his exquisite poli.a, but w hich will l) the first role In which he has ever appeared which Is really antipathetic or rather In which he playa the villain to such an extent thr.t It af fects the audience. The part of Bcarpia Is one of the most detestable in the op eratic roles, but as a piece of superb actinc i probably has no superior. Miry Garden will make her first ap pearance on . Wednesday night in Thsjs." in which she has won no end of success In Paris as also here. Fri day night the first performance In New York of Saint-facns' "Samson and De IV. h" will be given with Mile. Oervllle Reache and Dalmorcs In the title roles. Saturday n.ght Mr. Hammersteln will Inaugurate a new policy and one which msv disappoint large number of his followers. Instead of giving opera at pcpular prlcs on this night, ss hereto fore, be wU lve speOai ajubscrliiUon performances, and the opening attrac tion will be no less than Mmo Tetraz sinl aa Roslna In "The Barber of Se ville." 8he has never sung this role In America, but It was one of her greatest successes In London last season. In fact, I have never seen her do anything as well. Melropolltnnt Artists Gather. The Metropolitan artists arc arriving with every steamer. The latest to land were Bond. Caruso. Geraldlne Farrar and Rcotti. Both Miss Farrar and Mr. Scotti were very emphatic In denying the rumors of an engagement between them and their denial may not be without truth, as there are many who believe tho these two art ists were married In Paris during the Summer of 1907. Miss Farrar stated that the new rola of this season will Include Manon In Massenet's version of this opera. Mlcaela In Carmen Cherubino In Mozart's "Mar riage of Figaro." and she will create the leading role In Humperdlnrk's "The King's Children," which will have its first production when It will be given In English. Miss Farrar will sing Mar guerite In "Faust," with Caruso In the title role. November it. whyn a series of operatlo performances will be Inaugu rated In the new Academy of Music in Brooklyn. This performance will take place two days before the opening of the New York Heason at Die Metropolitan waea Caruso will appear aa Badamea with MIfs Farrar most bitterly hated rival. Emmy Destinn. the Bohemian prima donna, who will sing Alda for her introduction. Having heard her In this role In London, I presume to predict one of the most sensational successes ever enjoyed in this country by any artist. Bond's First Appearance. Bouci will make his first appearance during the first week In "La Traviata," nrobabiy with Miss Farrar as Violetta. The great tenor is In fine shape and he has consented to add many concert ap- oearances to his operatic performances. It is not unlikely that he will ret as far as the Coast before the close ef the sea eon. although he has signed with the opera, -at Buenos Ayres to sing .there as early as May S5, when a gala perform ance will be a-iven. at which he will bs the star attraction, in fact, his contract in South America makes him the star attraction of the entire season at a salary equal to that paid in America, which is the top notch, as there Is no country In the world which pays Its artists as much as thev receive in America, and It 18 for this reason that two opera-houses in this country drain Europe to the dregs ana leave them with practically nothing until our season Is over.

CITY.: . . .miwrnAiit Paul Arm- atrong and Wlnchell Smith have pro vided several thrills and Frederic Thompson in staging It at the Liberty -has done rne resx. It Is very American and very up to date, and from the standpoint o staging it is simply wonderful. The plot Is one of remarkable construction, and you do not realise at first that the tense inter est is centering upon people not at an within range of vision or of hearing. They are In a yacht, at the mercy ot the waves and the storm is very apparent to the audience, as the stage is a great ship with the office of the Marconi sig nals, and here are received the wire less messages from the sinking yacht. Of couree, this Is not half the story, indeed It la only an incident, hut it is a good one. The rest of It involves an invention of a new gun. and the In ventor has been defrauded of his rights by the manager of the steel works, who has destroyed the Invention because both men love the same girl. The destruction Is accomplished by the villain having bad It tempered in such a manner that Its test proves a failure, which means the loss of enormous Government con tracts. The occupants of the yacht are the inventor, the object of his affection, the steel manager, a man from the se cret Sen-Ice and those on the stage are the telegraph operator and the snips officers, where another love story is en acted and even with all the sensations that have gone ahead, the final thun derbolt falls when the last message omea to eave the occupants of the boat, but not to mind about the one who stays with the dynamos to keep the messages rolng. and when all are counted, It in discovered that It is a woman, wnlch discovery is made in time to save both Slro and heroine. Oh. there are no douht thrills enough for the most blase, and for thase who enjoy sensationa-we , there is wild eestacy In "Via Wireless. The east follows: ,..)

William Faversham. always one of the matinee' Idols, and his beautiful wife, Julia Opp, are again cast together. This in itself would be enough to mark a play for success, but in addition to the charm of the two principals, the play is one of unusual Interest, and It makes demands upon each member of the company. "The World and His Wife" has been adapted by Charles Frederick Nirdlinger into English from a Spanish play called "EI Gran Galeoto," which had a presenta tion in New York about 10 years ago. The coloring and the costuming, in fact, the plot, are all Spanish, and Mr. Nirdlinger has Introduced a new character In the person of an English diplomat. The play Is tragic In its outcome, but the action Is simple. Don Ernesto (Mr. Faversham) and Don Julian are close friends, and the latter, who In affection for his friend's father, uses every effort to accomplish certain things for his friend In a diplo matic post. Gossip fastens itself upon the names of Don Ernesto and Teodora. Don Julian's wife. The latter is firm In his belief In his friend and in his wife, and while both are absolutely Innocent the gossip is fanned by every one, including Don Severo, Julian's brother, who holds an Inflated Idea of the family importance and who is Jealously careful of its repu tation. Don Ernesto has a rival in politics, and he. of course, busies himself In spreading stories which result In a planned duel between the two men. When Julian hears of It he holds that it is his place to fight for his wife's name, and plans to face the calumniator Instead of Ernesto. The duel Is to take place in a studio adjoining Ernesto's apartments. When he comes forth badly wounded, he discovers his wife In Ernesto's room, where she went misled by the belief that the two friends had had a violent quarrel. This makes Don Julian lose faith In bdth, and while Don Ernesto has killed the man who created all the trouble, when Don Julian comes upon him with his hands holding those of Teodora In a most Innocent manner, he again gives vent to all his fury, and believes beyond any possible doubt that there is g.uilt between them and denounces them bitterly. A moment later Don Severo enters and or ders Don Ernesto from the house. The wife demands that he stay, since it is her home and he has 'no right to pre sume. Don Severo points to the neat room, where the husband lies dead, and again orders her from what has become his house. Ernesto In one last Impas sioned outburst, denies that there has been anything between them, but now they go out together, and the curtain falls. The cast follows: . Don Julian H. Cooper Cliffo Dona Teodora. Mis. Julie Opp Don Severo Charles Harbury Dona Merceries. .4 '. ..Miss Olive Oliver BEAUTIFUL WOMEN in the world of fashion and the favorite actresses of London, Paris and New York use and endorse ED.

PINAUD BUILDING, NEW YORK Don pepito Harry Bedding Captain Beaullau Morton Seiten Don Ernesto i . : . M r. Faversham Genaro Lionel Belmore Marie Cahill's New Hit. As against .melodrama and tragedy, Marie CahlH comes along at the right moment,' and in "The Boys and Betty," which opened at Wallack's on Monday night. Miss Cahill has another vehicle for all the fun and merriment there is in her. Every one knows what she can do In the way of making people laugh at her anr-wlth her whether they will or no. "The Boys and Betty" Is a musical com edy, but of an inoffensive type. That Is, the music Is not too commonplace and the book is full of fun. Betty Barbeau is a Southern girl married to a good-for-nothing leader of an orchestra, as the name would imply a Frenchman. She leaves him and goes to a fashionable re sort, where she makes a success as a florist who gains all the trade and the af fections of many. But her husband finds out how successful she is. and comes to live upon the fruits of her labor, but aft erwards finds It more profitable or mora to Ills taste to marry a danseuse from the Folies Bercere, leaving Betty free to follow her choice. There are dances and songs galore, and many of them arc "catchy" in the extreme. The cast is as follows: Tony Ardittl Mr. E. J. DeVarny Rudolph Gruber Mr. James B.

Luisl STUDENTS' INSPIRATION ARTISTS' COMPLETE SATISFACTION THE -STEINWAY PIANO- SUPREME-UNAPPROACHABLE . . i Many have the ambition, the willingness to strive, the technic and the real talent to become great artists, and vet the critical point in the career of a great artist is not passed, and the student succeeds only in reaching the overcrowded field of merely "good musicians." He ap parently lacks "something" that makes the artist. His friends wonder why the failure. But does the talented one lack that something ! May the piano not be unworthy of the student? The piano must lead, encourage, inspire the student, and it is the glorious depth and richness, that never-ending tone, the perfect action, the absolute response to effort, in the Steinway piano, found m no other make, that has carried past the critical point and developed every great iiving artist.
