with merits not dependent on that one quality.
Never did that ono element help a play to suc

promptly that has nothing elso to offer and
usually damages those which are not attractive
enough in other ways to survive In spite of

disadvantage under all circumstances. Kor
that reason Now York will novor need any
other censor for tho theatros than tho moral
sense of the public.

they iieet to keop the compact the physician's
wife leaves him because she thinks the brother

she learns that lie Is In reality the richer of the

Tho great Harden, hung with flags, nil tho
banks of seats empty and silent, seems Itself
asleep. On the raised edges of the rings, on
the exhibition platform on ono or two bundles
of folded carpots men lie on their backs, on
their faces, in queer tangled positions Only
tho occasional shrill rising of a rhythmic snoro
from one of the prostrate forms bronks tho
silence of tho big arena, except that now nnd
then n great hollow ioar echoes up from the
regions below, whoro the lions are.

Mme. T-inma Nevada, who'was recently com
pelled to leave Spain before hor engagements
there had been finished, has not sung lu New
Y'ort since the Mapleon r!glmo at the old
Academy of Music, although sho was In this
country as recently ns Hires vears ago. She
was the prima donna of u rather uiifortunnto
season of opera given In Philadelphia, and bo
foro hor return 'o T.urope spent somo weeks
here, but did not appear in public. She has
alw-avs been regurded abroad as one ot the ben
of colornture singers, although her volcolsso
light that success In such a lame theatre as
the Metropolitan would be out of tho question.
01 recent jeais she has sung almost exclu
sively In Itulv nnd Holland. 1 he last Ameri
can prima dntinn to appear In Spain before the
war was Mnrle Krg'e. She sang seveinl times
lu Madrid and was received with great favor.
Most singers have a 'error of Spanish audi
ences They do not hesllato to ex press their feel
ings with great omphnslsandlwlthnnt the least
regard foi the sensibilities of the artists. Mme.
Nordl'a was recently Invited to sing there In
some projected performance of the Wagner
cycles, but declined Mme. Nevada, who ls Mrs.
Talmoi In real life, toog her stage name from
the State In which she was bom. She lives in
Paris and has n little daughter, who ls said to
havelnhorlted muehot her mother's talcnt.nnd
to sing remarkably for n child of hor jcars.
Mme. Nevada never sang here after her first
visit. Mme Sembrioh has frequently ex
pressed the opinion that among her contemio
rnrtes few ever excelled the American singer
la the wonderful facllltvnnd case of her colorn
ture, although her voleelwas not large enough
to (111 the great oi-ora houses and make her ca
iscr us notable as It might have been, she
was one of the first American pupils of Mme
Mnrchesl.
One of the recently published guide books of
New Y'ork calls tho attention of foreign visit
ors to the free lunch served In the barrooms
nnd observes parenthetically that the profits
on the beverages must be great to etinbl- the
hotel proprietors to sorvethls luncheon with
out charge. If auv considerable number of
the men who go Into barrooms avillcd them
selves liberillv of this privilege, the expense of
thelhotel propiietor might be ns great ns the
writer thinks it is In fact, tho number of
men who do take advantage of this feature of
barrooms is compiratlvely small, and the
profits on tho drinks are quite large enough
to reimburse the proprietors without netes
sarllv being so great ns tho foreigner evident
ly thinks. Tho Proportion of visitors who do
enjoy this par' of such nn establishment Is in
reality small. There nie some other rathci
interesting observations in this book, and to
leain that eveultijr dress Is customary onlv-.it
"the opera. Dnlv s and the Lyceum" will sur
prise mos' New Yorkers who find that fashion
as apparent in one of the flrst-elnss theatres as
In another. Foreigners are cautioned to ho
careful and have an explicit undrtaudlng In

for what they get in lodging and boarding

a triumphant vindication of those foreign land
lords and ponslon keepers who for so mnny
years hnvo been abused by their American
clients as models ot what honest men and wo.
men should not be. The point from which
