THE Gilbert & Sullivan Opera Com
pany, under 'William A. Brady.
. producer, will be here for a week's
I engagement at the Heilig Theater,
I starting' Sunday nigrht. October 11.
I Among the operas which will be heard
I Here are "Trial by Jury." Pinafore."
"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. That alone should insure
most satisfactory realization that
I these operas all will be adequately
staged. In. addition to Mr. Hopper

which recently appeared at the New

for their voices as well as for their
good looks, and many instrumentalists.
oo are carried to augment the local
iter orchestra.
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

r.antlng melodies. Mr. Homier Hnfl

"Best Prima Doiu" Iiirludd.
Iln the cast of eminent artlsta sup-
Irtlng Mr. Hopper will be found
JeUe Patterson, whom Victor Her.
bert pronounces the "best prima donna
on the English-speaking stage." 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. Is perhaps better known
here on account of his engagement
at the old Marquam Grand, and for
several seasons with the Tlvoli Opera
company, of San Francisco. 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.

return in the company of a Tin wall

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

"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

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. At present some of the uni
versity buildings are used as hospitals
and others as prisons.

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.
