"The Pirates of Penzance." "lolanthe" land the ever-favorite "The Mikado." De Wolf Hopper, as usual, heads the least of this permanent Metropolitan or- g&nizatlon.

Old Operm Revived. "Trial by Jury." which is added to lth repertoire for the current year, is lone of the earlier works of Gilbert & blulllvan and for some unknown rea pon It has not been made use of to any considerable extent by managers who pave sponsored revivals of the masters kf light opera. This is certainly a peculiar situation, since the brilliant fancy of Gilbert rarely has been Klven rnore effeotlve play and the melodious supremacy of Sullivan soldom has fHown more effulgently than in "Trial Jury. The present revival, first made a fortnight ago at the Greek i neater. University of California, by reason or the extended absence from the stage, may be regarded as a dis tinct novelty, presenting the greatest ft authors and. composers tn this field oistinctly new and attractive light. "The Mtkado" Alvraya Charms. Tha enduring favor in which is cher ished the Japanese opera, "The Mika- o," satirizing British Institutions. lurely Is second only to the deathless hold of "Pinafore. Its charm never 1-111 fade nor will the vivid portrayal of wOKo at Air. Hopper s hands. This kiece has been in existence since 1SS6 Lnd since then not a year has passed without its revival at home or abroad. Is singularly rich In character draw ings, genuine fun and tunes that linger pon me memory. "The Pirates of Penaance" Is an ex ample of the combined genius of Gil bert and Sullivan where the well-mean- Ixg matron has been instructed to ap- Irentice her infant charge to a pJlot, ut mistakes and apprentices him to a irate Instead. Mr. Hopper plays the Sergeant of police. Among his other lontrlbutions to the incessant hilarity ir the proceedings Is his wholly inim- laDie Binging of the famous number llth the refrain "a policeman's lot is lot a happy one." All the parts in "The iirates or Penzance" are particularly Irong. so that the members of the or- ionization receive unusual opportuni- les ior me exnioition of their indi- Udual gifts. Tuneful "lolanthe" Billed, "lolanthe" is one of the most whim- leal and tuneful of all the Gilbert iia umvan works. The author has lixed up the denizens of falri-lnnr. llth the staid (and, alas, sometimes onse) members of Parliament. In n bpsy-turvy fashion that was his grreat- ht aeiignt. leading to no end of di- trung complications. To this theme liilivan has set some of his most en- r.antlng melodies.

Others of the foremost musical critics of this country are no less enthusiastic over the beautiful tones in Miss Patterson's voice. Gladys Caldwell has many fol lowers among lovers of true music, and long was identified with the stand ard operas in New York and Chicago. Jayne Herbert was the contralto with the Century Theater Opera Company in New York. Arthur Aldridge is the tenor, who, when first brought to this country for concert work, made such a furore at the New York Hip podrome that he was promptly placed, especially for these revivals, under the management of William A. Brady. Arthur Cunningham, although horn In Montreal and appearing in grand opera in that city.

Herbert Waterous is the bass, whose' rendi tion recently of "For He Is an Kng- lishman" at the Greek Theater. Unl versity of California, brought him un bounded praise, and he has already to nis credit several seasons in grand opera. John Willard, Maude Mordaunt, Anabel Jourdan and Henry Smith are all known to every lover of music who keeps In touch with all that is best on the concert of operatic stage. CHAT AND GOSSIP OF PLAYS AND PLAYERS By Leone Cam Baer. BY LEONB CASS BAER. THE premiere of the Morosco prize winning play, "Lady Eileen," oc curred last week at the Burbank, in Los Angeles. Of the 3000 manu scripts submitted to Oliver Morosco during the contest, "Lady Eileen" was considered by the three judges by far the best, and received at once their unanimous Indorsement. The play, by Geraldine Bonner and Hutcheson Boyd, affords an opportunity for the first appearance here of Lillian Kemble Cooper, a talented young Eng lish actress, who will appear In the name role and create the part. The cast Includes Forrest Stanley, In the role of the young English "Lord; Grace Travers, as the mother; Thomas MacLarnie, as the elderly English nobleman; Walter Catlett, as a the atrical manager; Donald Bowles and Winifred Bryson, as actors; James K. Applebee, as the husband, and Beatrice Nichols, as the amusing little darkey maid. The story is said to be a most beau tiful and delightful one, combining the romance, the stately elegance of aristo. cratlc England, with the practical con ditions of American boarding-house life, colored with the life of actor folk. "Lady Eileen" promises to be one of the best productions of the season. It is to be taken to New York within i few weeks. This extract from Town Topics Is tn teresting inasmuch as Hattle Lorraine has been seen here once or twice in vaudeville. "Baroness von Hollub, formerly Hat tie Lorraine, who after her graduation from the showgirl ranks became the partner of Billy Gould in vaudeville, is a guest at the Clarldge. accompanied as usual by her mother.

Some of the jsroaawayltes say that Hattle has be come tired of her Italian villa, but muse wno Know her better say that her present cavalier Is an old friend and she Is merely occupying herself socially until such time as the war clouds roll by and her Baron comes from abroad to take her back to "Sunny It." Town Topics also contributes this, which speaks for Itself: "Evelyn Thaw and Russell, trying to take a little rest from their movie acts, sought a quiet spot on the Jersey coast known as Seaside Park. One day, while sailing on Barnegat Bay, accompanied by a man or two, they attempted to land at the yacht club dock. Could they be permitted? Oh, no! There were ladies on the piazza. Later on they landed at the private dock of Ben Shibe, the baseball magnate, who is boss of the town and whose remarks about the 'ladies' were terse and terrible enough to recall that there is a verse in the Bible about 'the. first stone' that might De used in. this connection, as well as the Golden Rule." Ernest Glendinning. a San Francisco stock favorite, is heading Cohan & Harris' newest comedy, "Wanted 22, 000," which opened at the Cort Theater In New York last Thursday night. Ir. Louis Ansrjacher's fine comedv drama. ."His Son." which was given an effective presentation in Los Angeles, is now being groomed for an early pro duction in the East. The word from Los Angeles is that this -play has scored an emphatic success. Dr. Anspacher, who Is an actor, au thor and lecturer of note, is known further to fame as the husband of Kathryn Kidder and appeared with her at the Orpheum last season In his adap tation or ' JM aflame Sans Gene." Florence Fisher, who has been seen here on two occasions as Walker Whiteside's leading woman, once in the Melting V ot and two years ago In "The Typhoon," Is to play the leading feminine role In Jules Eckert Good man's new play, "The Silent Voice." This is to be Otis Skinner's starring piece this season. He will make his New Tork appearance Just as soon as Charles Frohman can find a theater for him. Others In the cast of "The Silent Voice" are: George Gaul, Robert Meech, Florence Fisher. Eugenie Wood ward. Harry Sothern, Esther Cornell and Walter F. Scott. After a year's retirement Rose Mel ville again is appearing in "Sis Hop kins." The exact number of times she has appeared in this comedy haa been lost track of but its around the 7000 mark. Exchange says that: . "Julia Marlowe took a prominent part In Baltimore's "Star-Spangled Banner" centennial. The committee honored It self by inviting her to recite the poem, which she did with her far-famed voice of depth, beauty and power." What I'd like to know Is what Julia could have recited with besides her "far-famed voice of depth." The Pacific Coast company which will play "The Yellow Ticket" has been formed and includes Paul McAllister, W. L Abington, E. R. Mawson, Reginald Carrlngton, Arthur Maitland," Dorothy Mills and Josephine Victor. Josephine Victor was the hen pheas ant in "Chantecleer." At the Theaters Continued From First Pas mankind, and since It la of a character that invokes the close and faithful at tention of a complete audience, without pause, strictly by reason of Its deep fun and laugh-making qualities, its universal popularity and success Is readily explained. "PAID IX KULIi" IS PROMISED Baker Management Pays Heed to Request) of Patrons. After repeated requests from different patrons of the Baker Players, Manager Baker has decided to present Eugene Walter's famous drama of modern do mestic life, "Paid In Full," which will follow "Little Miss Brown," opening next Sunday .matinee at the Baker. This play, which has achieved one of the greatest successes of the past 10 years, deals with an Incident in life, more or less familiar to everyone, either through personal contact with some phase of it, or through reading the newspapers. This is the common con dition of many young men married and otherwise who, believing the sal ary paid them entirely too small a re turn for the work they do, resort to stealing from their employer, easing their consciences with excuses, and LYRIC THEATER Catering to Ladies and Children Week Commencing Today Matinee New Lyric Musical Comedy Co.

OXFORD OPENS ON TIME Students Called as Usual Thongh England Torn by War. OXFORD, Sept. 25. Oxford Univer sity will open as usual, and F. J. Wilie Oxford secretary of the Rhodes trust! has cabled Rhodes scholars to report for study. A great many colonial Rhodes scholars have enlisted or re ceived commissions, their scholarships, of course, being kept open. University authorities do not expect that the en rollment of under-graduates will total more than 1000. Those absent on mili tary services will suffer no loss in academic standing-, the time spent in serving their country counting as time in residence at Oxford if the under graduate so desires. American Rhodes scholars entering Oxford for the first time are expected to find the atmosphere most stimulat ing. They will receive a great deal of personal attention from the dons, and they will be a tremendous force In their colleges and in the university. They will also find a spartan regime the order of the day. All English and colonial undergraduates will be com pelled to Join the -officers' training corps, and other rules calculated to impress on the young men In residence that their country is passing through a severe crisis and that It is not a period for idleness and luxury will be enforced.

CIVIL WArj FAVOR REPAID Woman Gives Six E&gs and Apples to James "W. Wadswortli. NEW YORK, Sept. 25. Marie Louise James, 84 years old, entered the head quarters of James W. Wadsworth, on the third floor of the Forty-second-street building, recently and asked for Mr. Wadsworth. "What can 1 do for you?" a clerk asked. . "Please give Mr. Jim these," and reaching into a basket on her arm she took out six eggs and a half-dozen red apples. "Why are you so interested in Mr. Wadsworth?" asked the clerk. "Well, sir." phe answered. "In war times my old man was in old Mr. Jim's army. He got shot, old Mr. Jim done picked him up in his own arms and carried him to the hospital. I ain't ever forgot that. Old Mr. Jim is the grandfather of this Mr. Jim. I just wanted to come over and tell him my seven grandchildren were go in' to vote for him." Men at the Wadsworth headquarters had not the heart to tell this fine loyal old woman that her seven grandsons could not vote for "Mr. Jim." because they lived in Passaic. N. J., but they insisted upon providing her with a small gift and a ticket to her Jersey home. CROW IS TARGET, GIRL HIT Man Must Pay 2 2 5 Eacli for Four Teeth Shot Ont. BROWNSVILLE. X. Y., Sept. 25.
