Miss Garclen as Director Makes New York Debut Chicago Opera Company . Opens Season in 'Norma,' and Noted Prima Donna Renews Pledge of Reforms Performance Disappoints Miss Raisa Sings Chiefly by Main Strength, While Others Share Her Failings By H. E. Krehbiel p ?? The Drojected season of six weeks of opera by the Chicago Opera Com- j ?n*iny opened at the Manhattan Opera j t House last night with much less flutter., of circumstancos nnd agitation than, might have been expected in view of -. the publicity which has baon given to ; '"alf of Miss Mary Garden'a savings and doings since she assumed the direction of the entarprisa. There were several "things said by her which fili agreeably into the enrs of intelligent lovers of ppera and which, if carried out, would j make for artistic righteousness. One ~J?L them was that she would not give representations of old Italian operaa j unless she hnd singera in her company tvho could sing them properly. ? These were not the words, but they . convey the ser.so of hor utterance. Yet; ttu> opera last night was Bellini's j --'Norma," which, no matter how it may' ""strike ears attuned to the raeasures or Mascagni. Leoncavallo and Puc cini, is certainly as much an Italian as any opera composed in the nine -4eenth century and just as Certainly demands a classic raanner of perform ance. This manner is as much a lost art among the operatic singers of to-day as ?it is to the majority of the people who hoard it last night; else there would have been silence, at Ieast, instead of . yociferous applause after Miss Raisa had chopped "Casta Diva" into pieces and hurled the fragtnents into the audi- | once-room last. night. She sang it and everything which she ?iad to sing chiefly hy main strength ; <>s the storied Irishman played tlie ! Addle), and in her effort to win the plaudits of her hearers she was foi- i lowed by Mme. Beaanzoni fAdal .-?isa), Mr. Forrost Lamont (Pollione) '?and Virgilio Lazzari (Oroveso). In all these cases there waa an as- j tonishing expenditure of lung power, J ? out an ihfinitesimal exhibition of voca! art. It is impossible to listen without "MEazement to the volume of tono which ..'Miss Raisa pours out, but this sensa tion might gladly be exchanged for ?olne of the graces of real song which we are convinced are at her eommand. . .. There was aa occasional phrase even in the supremely great air of tho first act which, like her smging iti , the third, showed that she has the ?tapacity to sing artis'tically, but so long as she continues to emulate a ? "'tTUmpet player blowing blood out of his cyes she is iikcly to continue to make the judicious grieve, no matter hov,- powerful her appeal to those who sum up voca! excellence in voice. voice, voice arid loudness. "Mme. Resanzoni shows the influence ? tif better truditions; though she, too, iS all will remember who heard hrr ?vhen she sang at the Metropolitan Opera House, forces a voice of fine i quality into occasioal uncbuthness, and, like a country organist, keeps ; tp"e tremolo stop in use without ces sation. ? Of purity of tone and suavity there ? was not a trace in the singing of Mr. , taniont. Chorus nnd orchestra were vofficient, as was the conducting of Signor Marinuzzi, and the exeellent ^coustical pronorties of the theater , Bi'ade thrice admirable all that there was to admire in the performance. ?-; On the Screen By Harriette Underhill ~ If we say that "Hold Your Horses" ia the best picture that Tom Moore ever made, probably a lot bf people Will write in and tell us what we do not know what we are talking about; that it can't compare with "Peggy'a Proof" or "Hannah's Husband" or something of the sort. However, we ean say without any hesitancy that it ia the best picture we ever saw Tom Moore do and one of the best pictures we ever saw any one do. It is well ?directed, beautifully acted and' the titles are delightful. The story, if not novel, is certainly entertaining. Tom j Moore does things and looks things in this new pictuie. which we neglected to say i? at the Capitol. that we never -dfcamed hc could do or look. He starts out R8 a whitowing and end* up ns the husband ol' Naomi Childers, the La.lv Ciara Vero do Vere ol' thc story. We ? ?! say that ho gtvea a pcri'oct performance of a dolightful role. Naomi Childers revels in the sort of thing that she if. ealied upon to do in this picture. Remember her in "Lord snd Lady Aluy"? Wo know of 110 one who can look used to luxury arul bofed by it so successfully as Miss Childers. \\ hen \ve used, years ago, to see her east a* a sweet shopgirl nnd the ilk, we refused to accept hjsr. Hut now it is quite differonti Sylvia Ashton is good, also, as tho fat wife of Tom Moore before he has leained how easy it is to rule the world --just wave a red fiag and say "Stop." lUit we must desist or leveai the plot. Bertram Grasaby, Mortimer Stinson and Sydney AlnaWorth complete the enst. Rupert Hughes wrote the story. It appeared oriKinally in The Saturday L---'.ing Post and was called "Cana van." The imaginative direction of Mason Hopper is in a great measure rcsp^nsible for the exeellencc of the t'nished prtul.ietion. The titb-s are so well done that you feel all thc time Hke applauding thesn or patting their i.uthor on the back. The ovcrture is selcctions from "Pagliacci." There is a sketch colied "Favorites of Yesterday," which iritro duces the old * familfar tuns. Tbe comedy is Booth "rar'dngton's "Edgar Camps Out." Roscoe Arbuckle is at the Rialto in 'Erewstor's Millions," a picture which ! is fairly amusing. This picture neorls no critieism, for every one knows the story pf "Brewster's Millions," and j every one knows Roscoe, or.ee Fatty. | If you go to see it it. is because you want to. No one can say he was j deceived by the title. There if, how- i ever, one novel bit of business which marks the picture as a thing- apart Never, so far aa we know, has it been cone on the screen before. Monte j Brewster is shown first at the age of ! one year being admired by his two ' erandfathers, and then at the age of? five years being admonished by them. : This, of course, often has been done, but in this p'icture Mr. Arbuckle plays ' Monte at all ages. He is seen first in a perambulator at the age of one. Next he is seen in black velvet knickers ; trying to climb on the dining room j chairs and bumping his head on theJ table. Of course, special sets had to ' be made for thisi but it is eonvincing! and surprisinglyKvell done. Doublc cx posures have heen made so that his relatives appear to be, relatlvely the cori-ect size. There are two ber.oincs, Botty Roas Clarke and Jean AcKer. Hc marries the former. The story was taken from the novel by George Barr McCutcheon and the play by Winchell Smith. Thc scenario is by Walter Woo*ds and the direction by Joseph Henabery. The overture is "La Gioconda." Emmanuel List 9ings "Where My Caravan Has Rested." The comedy is 'Back From the Front," a Christie picture. Shubert Vaudeville, 1 20 Million Coueerii, To Book 18 Cities JVewly Iiicorporatcd Com? pany Plans Exteiuling Cir cuit to Ariditional Towns and Opening Next Season The Shuberts announced their plans yesterday for entering the vaudeville field, where they will be the chief com petitor of the powerful Kei;';, interests, The Shubert Vaudeville Company has tiled articles of incorporation in Wil mington, Del., oapitalized at $20,000, 000. The directors are Lee and J. J. Shuberfc, Paul Block, F. J. Godsoll, Jules Mastbaum, E. C. Potter, William Kline, Edward J. Bowcs and Joseph L. Rhinock. At the beginning of next season the new circuit of high class vaudeville will begin operation in New York, Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Chieago, N'ew ark, Pittsburgh, Detroit. Cleveland, Cincinnati, Louisville Atlantic City, Buffalo, Washington, Baltimore Now Orleans, St. Louis and Kansas Citv. Further extension of the --circuit is under way. Lee Shubert only recently returned *rom an extended'trip through thc West, the object of which was to acquirc theaters and arrange for the building of houses for the accommoda tion of ?"Shubert Advanced Vaudeville." "By the Jiling of the articles of in? corporation the new circuit becomea a reality and the company will begin to function at once." said Leo Shutrert. "Publication has been made or pur in tention to cnter the vaudeville field, but 1 refrained from making a posi tive statement of plans until the com? pany carfte into existence." Mr. Shubert would not diseuss the proposed executives of the new com? pany. But it is known that the serv ic-i of leading vaudeville experts have been enlisted and long before the si m.lt-.neous opening of all the theaters Do you, ? by chance, need a dinner service now? ?Discounts oflO% to 50% apply at Ovington's TF your dinner set is not worthy of -*? your home, or if you have been so unfortunate as to own a ?"?et which is out of stock, let the January sale of Ovington china present your opportu? nity of acquiring a new dinner service.

It has been a foregone conclusion ' that the Shuberts would ultimateiy po , into vaudeville, on account of their enormous activities in the legitimate end i !' the theatrical producing busi? ness. So mary stars are rr.ade in dra matic and musical comedy productions that vaudeville is a natural adjunct. The legitimate theater business of the Shuberts, however will be operated as ; before, cjuite apart from vaudeville. George Cohan Sees Daughter in Stage Debut at Palace Georgette Appears With Her Mother, Ethel Levey, and Fair Ge! Ovation That Set? New Record'for Broadway ! thel Levey, international gtsr of the dram tie and music hall stages, opened a we.k's engagoment at the Piilace The? ater yesterdgy and registered ' the grcatest hit scored in recent ; rs by a "single woman" on Broadway. Her act reached a climax of enthusiasln when her daughter, Geoi-gette Cohan, waiked on the stage in the song "Marie Rose" ; and made her debut in the presence of! her father, George M. Cohan. and an ! audience largely professionai. lt was an afternoon of eXcited in- I tercst at the Palace. The tip had gone forth that Miss Cohan would appear with her mother, and Broadway celebri ties came by the seores to' see the gifted daughter of George M. Cohan and Ethel Levey, as well as to do honor to the reappearanee of Miss Levey. Standing room in thc back of the thc-. ater was preempte,d by a cafavan of florists, who had been bidderi to say it v. ith flowers. Both mother and daughter had to make curtain speeches, and Miss Cohan prolonged rtjfplausc when, with chaiaeteristic Cohan aecant and ges-; ture she said, "1 thank you, and my mother thanks you, and my father thanks you," then jolted off the stage with the steps made famous in "Georgo Washington Jr." Miss Levey has developcd a physical attractiveness that Furprised and de lighted her friend.-. She miprht have passed for the dark, slim sfster of the blond Geo/gette. She wore some ex? quisite frocka that gave her a lovely silhouctte. Despito a cold she 3ang and recited with charm and dramatic power, Her performance was the most artistic she ever gave in New York. She also danced with grace and agility. "There's life in the old girl yet," she exclaimed, laughing, Lively, itidced, is the answer, but old?never! The audience was immensely tickled to note fehe marked resemblance be? tween daughter and athcr, but never thelefls Miss Cohan has a bewitching blond beauty that contrasts with the Gothie architectiire of George iM. Cohan's saturnino mask. Miss Cohan did a delicate travesty on the ghost of Barrie's "Mary Rose," which included ?i discreet little shimmy and some dance steps quite up to the family st&ndard. Pearl Regay, a versatile dancer, so litho and limber that she can make a handsprihg look like poetry, received an ovation for her new act, entitled "When Terpsichoro Meets Syncopa tion." It is the best thing of that sort seen at the Palace this season. The remainder of the bill loses little by comparison, ll includes Bert Clark and Flavia Acaro, Hermine Shone and Company, Billy jMontgomery and Min nie Alien, Al Mamaux and Jimmic Rule, the Brooklyn baseball pitcher andl popular composer, respectively, and the Three Misses Dcnnis. Cortot (iives [Fme Prograni in His First Recital of Seasum j Alfred Cortot gave bis first recital ! of the season last night at Carnegie : Hall. There wore only three composers j on his program ? Liszfr, Chopin and j Schumann- -represented rosp*eetively by the sonata in B minor, twenty-fou'r preludes, and the Etudes Symphoniques. M. Cortot is one of the 'most distin fruished pianists now before the public. ' His playing has less brittl.eness and' more poetry than are commonly asso ciated with the French school, and he did full justice to ail of the familiar : compositions.

M- Mr.i : Mr > "- ' I-hereby warn all Theatrical Managers and Producers that Mr. john Meehan has an iron clad agreement with me, and it cannot be broken without paying the price. Mr. Meehan's sensational success as the Vag abond in 'THE TAVERN" is due entirely to my direction, and the words I gave him to speak, and I shall fight legally any man or body of men attempting to steaf his services as Actor or Stage Director. If Mr. Meehan is, as they say, the find of the year, don't forget that it was I who found him and I intend to protect my rights. GEO. M. COHAN Producer of THE TAVERN GAIETY. B'y & 46 St. MaU.
