Be' "One of tho best things which tho dramatlo
S' .chool. can accomplish." tald . sUgemsnagcr
ttb "ho has had many yonra of tho best New York
CT experience, "would ho to twin their pupils Ihor-
Vm ouUiv n elocution. Not long ago thcro nroso
T luiiung nctors a robclllon against tho study of
di ' elocution. Thcro wcro various explanation
(, ,or t),n. One was that It mado them stilted In
L,V , inccch. another that It was unsultcd to tho mod-
5 , trn plnyc, and thero wero enough excuses to
V mako It appear that elocution was In reality a
t great disadvantage to the actor. As a matter
' of fact, there Is no ono accomplishment so Im
portant. It died out on our staco partly be
caiiBO tho plays of tho old tragedians wero less
frequently seen. In the days of Forrest and his
' contemporaries thcro wcro younger mon who
I ono day hoped to Jill their places, and they knew
f bow Important a part of their art elocution wos.
f flo they studied It, and tho result was such nn
actor m Kdw In llooth, who ropreicnted tho very
,j l,rt of that laBt generation of ilnsslcal actors.
I lho men of that period know elocution possibly
f ns well as ho did, although they wcro not
i blessed with such voices to exhibit It with. But
i they knew how to tiso such voices as tbey had,
f and elocution survived as an Important elo
jj ment of the actor's art down to Hooth's ronera
I tlou. It Is possessed to-day only by tho old no
8 tors on the stage who were contemporaries of
I his. Tho acton of the day havo grown not
S wily to ncglict It. hut to depreclato its advan-
tages. It muBt remain for tho dramatlo schools
fe to Impress upon tho coming generations of play-
I i rs how necessary It really Is. Tho actors who
! idhih to mo to day nro rarely able tomoduliito
I Ibolr voices to tho exprc.i.-lona that I try to
f mnko them me. It Is Impossible for them to do
I It, bccauBO Ilio volco Is not trained, 'they havo
I noirr loiinicd to control it. Hut moro slgnlM-
I tan than nil tho action or posture In tho noilit
Ii tho expression of tho voice. Thnt denotes a
feeling moro potently than any other means In
8 tho nctor's control, und not to havo that in his
1 tuner Ii tho loss of ono of bin most ctTcctlvo
aids. It li easy enough to see hy the actors do
h not earn to study elocution. It is dltllciiltnnd
S nionutuiious, and It takes lime. It id cry
l inurh cabicr to Invent 'business,' which Is pna-
r flblo to anv Player with tho average amount of
I Intelligence. HuL to speak a bciitcnoo in such a
wu) that oiery word 1 tlcltvcrtd with JuiMlio
? rhuin of color or inclining that Hie situation
' ili-mnnds Is a far moro ililllcult matter. Thnt Is
' nn art. and an nrt which is not to bo picked up
I In lho casual work ot a low months.
"At the Corner! atnlro in l'urls, which Is cor
rectly regarded as the model of Its kind, tho
' Ktudents during a term of thrco years devoto
I liioel of thulr time to lho truluing of the wilcc.
'fbcro aro other important branches of siudy,
but it li elocution which ocuplca I hem most.
t Is as valuable to them In tho modem phi) a
as it Is In tho classical drama. Careful modu
lation of tho olco nro as necessary in the
dramas of tho day as In tho most Inspired vere
ever written. There was nuur u drama that
did not require tho expression of tenderness,
hate, or anger in soino of Us speechts. and in
the realistic plays, wbcro tho action U most re
strained, there seems indocd ocn grcuternccd
of a control of tho voice, which can cypress
readily the (.lightest shado of meaning. Elocii
lion Is indeed moro Important to actors to-day
than It ever was, and their indifference to Its
advantages was never gi enter. The drauiatlu
schools can do no grrutcr seivico to tholr own
ttudonts, nn well as to the stage, to-day, than
to put that art back Into tho foremost plnco
among tho actor's accomplishments."
Gabriel d'Annunzto has finished n play called
' 1 "Gloconda," and according to tho reports
printed In Europe, ho must bo dovotlng him
, coif to dramatic composition with unprece
dented enthusiasm. Ho went to Milan when
Klconora Duso acted In his play there, and told
somo moro details ot lho theatre which Is to be
built for him on tho shores of Ldko Albanus. Ho
will have entire chargo of the theatre, and
only tragedies will ho acted there at first,
and they will have to bo of a character that
would havo mado them acccptablo to tho
Athenian public In the host days of tho Crock:
drama. There will bo musical accompani
ments of tho best possible character for the per
formances, and toiuedlci In tho classical
stylo may bo acted later. Works by writers
of all countries will ho received so long s ttiov
conform to tho classical standards, and Sarah
Ilernhardt as well as Duso wlll.tako port in
homo of the representations. Tho money for tho
support of tho new theatre has so far come en
tirely from countries outside of Italy, although
shares of $100 each aro shortly to be lsouod lu
order that pcrsouB unable to subscribe- largo
amounts may coutrlbuto to the enterprise. Tho
theatre will be opened ono year from next
March, and Die first scries of performance
will continue until tho middlo of Jlay. Thnt
will be the period yearly devoted to tho fostlval
' productions. Rig. IVAnnunzio said that bis
' tragedy "Tho Dead City" would not bo acted
in Italy until Eloonorn Ituso was roady to play
In It. Tho theatre, which D'Annunzio says
, . will be "the springtime theatre "is to havo ft
Inrga number of dancers trained In the classical
poics, im well as an orchettrn which will be the
il nest that can bo gathered together.
The theatre at Broadway nnd Twenty-eighth
street, lately called the Jonah, will from to
morrow bo known as Sam Jack's Theatre, tak
ing the latest of Us many names from that of
Us new manager. Mr. Jack says that his en
tertainment will "run on women's legs." He
Is not In the business of elevating tho stage.
He has grown rich with bold and brazen bur
lesque companies and Is frank in his avowal
that the show which he Is bringing into Broad
way is immodest with "1 vlng pictures" and
"Paris foUles."
The fact has been proven again that New
York does not liko an old-fashioned, one-ring
circus well enough to pay a profit to it, John
B. Doris made the latest experiment, in an eli
gible place close to upper Broadway, and gave a
show which would have been regarded thirty
years ago as excellent, but It was not supported
by tho public, and now It Is given up.
A change in the week's plan at the Irving
Place provides for the production on Thursday
of "Hans Huckebeln" In the original German
of Ulumentbal and Kndclber . This la tho
farce that failed at Daly's In a weak English
version called "Number Nine," but In Berlin It
has been a success.
Tho forthcoming burlesque at Weber &
Helds's music ball has been set down for
Thursday night. It Is called "Tho High Low
Jinn." and makes Ub fun out of "The Highway
mnn, the comic opera.

Twentyfirst Halfyearly Sale of Muslin Underwear
IN our New York business- the third.
There is agitation among the larger retailers regarding January Sales of Muslin Underwear. It is
inspired to a great degree by the extraordinary buying and selling of our two stores. American retailing shows
no parallel to our usual January Muslin Underwear business.
Great contracts for these goods make low prices. That's the crux of the whole case. You can
buy cheaper because of our large purchases. Concerning the merchandise note the following facts.
Each lot advertised to-day is absolutely new-not mixed with old goods.
The garments are made from perfect patterns in full and ample sizes.
They are the product of scrupulously clean rural factories and of well-paid and intelligent labor.
The ample spaces and convenient arrangements for this sale give abundant room for all comers
without inconvenient crowding.
