too well known to describe, but Mr.

eorves a (.pccial word. It wns carried
olf with such ii nlei'ly thut Its voix -;iiii-ostness
and sincerity saved It ftom tho
usual blatant burlesquing th.it mats ho
piany performances. Mr, Payne had tho
chief rplr, that of Mr. Pijff, tho original
press agent and npthor p( tho tragedy.
His performance was thoroughly enjoy
able. Other Ventures Alonjr Broadway
liroartvtay productions of tho lagt four
days hnvp varied all the way frpm a
mammoth Indoor circus at tho Hippo
dromo to a French drama for Mlbs Bar
rypipro. Tho lattpr, "'fho' Shadow,"
Which was described In this placo from
Its llrst performance in Atlantic City,
received almost unstinted praise. Tho
Times calls It a "lino play," and M1&3
Itarrympre'h a "superb: performance."
Tho Tilbuno says. "Considered as a
vehicle for Miss Uarrymore, It is un
doubtedly the best sho has had. It gives
her scopo for a display of talent as an
pmotlonul actress that none would bc
Hpvo she possessed. eon those of us wl)0
saw her playing in 'Mid-Channel.' Her
Dorforinanco was truly remarkable. So
"'icmarknblc, in fnct, that It givts thp
play an Interest far beyond its deserts
as a pleco of dramatic art."
Guy IJolton turned up in New York
this week with two llrst productions to
his credit. One was the "book" of tho
nnistcal comedy, "Ninety In tho Shade,"
vl)icli created much tho Impression of
nmuslng entertainment which tho reviews
in Detroit, reprinted In tho Dvenino
Lcoocn last week, led ono tp pxpeet.
HIb other piece, a full-fledged drama,
"The Fallen Idol," did not get off with
out somo harsh criticism. It seems llttlo
Improved In plaiihlblljty or power elnco
it was llrst presented, Bem,l-Pllv.ately, In

The Higher Criticism

"And she wants tp hear It again?"
"t'u-huh "
"Is she hard of hearing?"
- From "The Third Party."
For the second tlmo In a year tho
splendid talents of tho Metropolitan
Oprra company were wnstcd upon Phila
delphia. Tho qpera was "Ilorls fDdi(
noff" and to Bit through It, In the midst
of last night's audience, was an cx(t(lstp
torture. Tho opera; was glorlopsi thu
audience wns cither stupid or offensive
Thero were, ot com sc, those present
who appreciated tho opera and thoso
Who kept silent that others might hear.
Hut the audience asi a wholo sat through
tho splendid npectnelo without a mur
mur; tho groat choruses won not 11 hand
ot applatiie. And thero wero so Hhnmp
futly many boxes In which tho nudltora
chattered through tho pprrornmpcc, ef
fectually spoiling It for all within enr
hot, that one wondered why, If they
wanted to talk, tho good pcpple did not
stay at home. Upon tho dlBnstcrn of this
night comes tho announcement that un
less tho subscription for tho throe sup
plementary operas, dops not go pp tr0
mcndously within thp next ton days the
opera of February 0' will bo tho last of
tho season.
How good nnd great "IJorls" was last
nght Is almost beyond tho power of
wprds to tell, Tho drama of It Is almpst
all Invisible, as most great dramas are.
Tho murder from which tho action
Bprlngs. Is donp years, before tho play
begins. Scene after scene appears to
Ipiyo no connection with tlic plot, ypt
tho cilimilativa tenor and gri)iideur of
tho wholo cannot be mistaken. Tho
tragic gaiety ati'1 the tragic agony of
tho Czar works in. atom by atom, untl
the dire nnd awful end. Beside it, run
ning wltji It at times, standing apart
apd accentuating Its. high lights, ls thu
music, which, fpr orchestra, plngors and
chorus seems always to be breathed and
created each separate moment to com
plement and fulllt thp piece. Set in thp
magnificent splendor of ancient Moscow,
Its barbaric color and Its appalling level
reaches of white, In thp snow-eovcrcd
fprest, tho qpera was tho most grapd,
tho most impressive, thp mqs,t evocative
work seen hero this year.
L'ach detail was Just; eacli singer had
made his part, giving It character and
distinction, so that we had no sad spec
tacle of Hoyard and l,eas.ipt talking tho
same language. (Iow wonderful tho
musical characterization, too, whph nses
no tags, yet distinguishes each charaptor
hy accent and idiom!) And above them,
of necessity, was the chorus to which
the management Justly accorded tho llrst
encore. It ii iho tame chorus which has
been heard hero before, of which the
work has bepn ponslsjtpntly praiseworthy,
yet last night It was lifted by tho great
ness of tho work it) which It Is tho pro
tagonist to a higher nnd nobler plain.
When tho people speaks, but ono other
voice can bo heard. That Is tho voico of
tho King. So In this case the work qf
Adnmo Dldur, who sapg Uorls, alone
must bo mentonpd. It is not fair to
Judge his voice by ordinary operatic
standards, because he willingly fore
swore its triumphs to keep within tho
limitations of thp music. Dramatically
his Uors was mora terrible than any
representation I can recall, oxcept the
Oswald of Paul Orleneff. Exalted and
terrifying in Its strpngth lp010 exalted,
in tact, and more terrifying, than the
llguro pf tho folk, his representation
made one wonder whether It la not Hora,
nftcr all, who is tho hero of this ppera.
But one knows who the villain was.
He, collectively, made Mr. Polacco rap
twice for silence, at the beginning of
each spparatp scene.
Today's Music
The busiest slnglo day of tho musical
season has five separate concerts sched
uled. In tho afternoon tho series of con
certs for young people will be continued

Spoiled n Good Scene
John Inco, of tho Liibln Company, al
most got a double-tolnted climax In his
big scene for "Tho Attorney for tl;p
i-l . iibi . '1 lie play Is a drama filled
w'ltli ti Ills and In the climax a touring
car, containing- jtuci i-iayion ami a
chauffeur, dashes half-way across a
bridge, smnshew through tho guard fonco
and plunges Iptq a creek soma 40 feat
bolow. Miss CInyton'3 understudy, a
gopi-looklng, wpll-dresscd dummy, en
acted thq Una) plunga.
To get tho right light effect Ince took
his company to tho bridge early In the
mornng. The car was. stationed on the
sido of a hill a short distance from the
bridge, ready for tho sensational pluigo.
tpco and his threp camera men -were at
tio far slue Rf the bridge, hunting a
good location for the cameras. Suddenly
somo one shouted "Look out!" From the
opposite direction and traveling nt a Joy
riding rato of speed came a touring car
contnin'ng two men and two women. The
Lubintes hustled out of the way. The
car shot onto tho bridge, skidded, ripped
tnrough tho guard fence apd dropped into
the creek.
Ince and his players hurried to the
seen0 end grpatly to their astonishment
found t)ip four people aivc. They were
badly bruised and shaken up and one
man had a fractured wrist. Inco's par
took them to a nearby hospital.
"Isn't that rotten luck," said Inco to
1ih assistant, as the Injured quartet was
driven away, "that was exactly what I
wanted for my scene and they came
along five mlnptes too 1,0011."
Fifteen minutes later the Lublp car
was sent through the bridge and wrecked
In tho creek.

B.MIID (pit hmqU pulled In two vnya.
To even hint to this woman ttmt ho
desired to shield Zudora for purposes of
his own would ha tho BBtiltiff of Zudortv'a
ileath warrant. Anil ypt ho needed Mrnp,
I)u Val, for sho had control of an organi
zation whoso ramifications reached across
the Continent. Ho wanted John Storm
out of the way, and Mmo. dn Vat was tho
ono ultimately to accomplish this.
'X'el, what Is your plan In regard, to
Zudnra?" ho asked curiously.
"I contd very easily send Zudora oft on
tho sama train with tho Van Wick child."
"Ah, yes; that Is easy enough to say,
Dut how to got her to the train'"
"She does not know mo; at least, I don't
think Blie saw too at Chicago. I wl Klvq
a ball. Oh, you need not smllo. I live
two lives. If you will. In my own horns
1 am a woman of comfortahlo Incomo,
who Indulges n mystics as a pastime.
Many noted people como to my house.
And I've an Idea of ono way pf brlnstrB
Zudora. I will send her dn Invitation.
Ynu will urge her to come, but not Insist
ently. Sho will then rpcejva ah nnony
noii3 notp saying that If sho wishes to
know what has becomp of th.e Van Wick
boy sho will find tho Information af rny
house. Oh, nothing will point to me. I
know my business "
"I'll havo to admit that," said Bnlrd,
listening. When lio had t(ipso chats with
Imp. Du Val ho was not always suro
that there was not a third person some
whorp near. Hut he never committed him
self, never confessed that lie as not.
HaSHiim All. Ip certain degrees ho ad
mired this handsome woman, but thoro
was always a bit of fear of her. "Your
Idea Isn't a bad one "
"I'll give the ball on a chance, nnyhow.
It Is up to you, Jim, if you wish to make
uso of the Idea."
Alone, tho woman smiled. It was not a
pleasant s,mle. Thero was no man In tho
world, who could foot Tier- Bnlrd. wns fall
ing ip love with Zudora; and wop to the
little fool for crossing her path, oven It
unconsciously. Slip wanted Jim Bnlrd, for
her own, and she was determined to clear
tho path of qll obstnples In his direction.
Zydora off tho scene, sho wns quite con
fident that, her own powers of attraction
would not fall upon barren ground.
Tho Van Wink family was distracted
Desplto precautions that had cost thou
sands, tho bpy had been stolen. The
father knew that to recover tho boy he
would, havo to dig doep Into fcs purqe.
That ho was willing enough to do, but
what ho wanted tp bo sure of was that
the payment should be ilnal. He did, not
wish to bo hounded nnd pursued hy that
terror of uncertainty, of suspense. He
was willing to pay In prldo apd money,
but ho wpnted security apd pence n
return.
Tho poltco were scouring the city, hut
they found not the slightest clue to the
whereabouts of tho boy or of thp char
acter of tho abductors After a week
of misery, some friend suggestqd that tho
the
fortunate fifty all you gj!
services of ona JlB,am At, ha myt0
detective, or tho services of hi. niece,
should ho secured. The father was re
luctnnt, for he held oil t'nesa mystlcji ns
contemptible mountebanks who thrived
upon thp croilnWy of fools. Hut h$
metropolitan police had failed, and ho
wns not a man to leavp any qtone Un
turned tq recover rla fcoy, ft)C ftpnlg ot
his ore.
flo ho nnd Mrs, Van Wlpk dp6J4 to
pay Hansam All n visit. They summoned
the car nnd started out for Hassam AH'
holiso. Zudora impressed them bpt)i far
more than the mystlo himself,
"Do you think you enn "help us!"
"My niece will neo wjiaf sho can dp,"
said Uassant All, or rpthcr Hassam Ajl'n

"Hut a young womnnl" said Van Wlok
doubtfully.
Hnssam AH laughed. "Slid rany loo(
frngllo, but wlrp looks fragile."
"Dut theso men aro desperate, charac

wor)d to suspect a fragile retJpB "rferfB
being on heir trail."
"hon't worry over tho fact that I aja
a wompn," sold Zudora, amitlnff. "I can
tako caro pf m.ysplf. I h,a,vp; bepn, abo
to do so thufl fnr. If t la possible, $ flnS

of monoy for his loyalty. Mo"haa seen
tho will, but not without a certain d.qubt.
Wills could bo destroyed nulU as easily
as they could be made.
When Zudora received tho Invitation
to Mmo. Du Vol's ball shq was ptjzzlep.
She had among her acquaintance no
woman of that name. But sue fqund, hT
namo in tho blue bpok anfl deplfled tp

In this short time It was evident tjjat tfi
kidnappers had heard that her scrvfecs
had been engaged; and It looked qs It
they feared she would pick up samp In

On tho night of tho ball sho was rqthor
