to the average lllm fan, fur they aie
used to these changes 111 photoplay af

poitnnt popular Interest Is the fact that
Manager Ilrady's first star In the Alms
was Thomas A. Wise, now featured In
"General l'ost," at the Ilmad .Street
Theatre.
"A OcntUmaii From Mississippi" and
"lllue Cirass" were tho only productions
that Mr. Wise appealed in before the
movie caineia. While many piople liked
the former play In the lllnis. It was not
as popular, how ever, as It might have
been had Millliicnt co-operation In Its
production been achieved.
"It Is the lack of cooperation be
tween producer, director and actor that
has been the cause of the failure of so
many players; who entered- the cinema
Held from the spoken drama. Tho
methods of direction are totally dif
ferent," sabl Mr. Wise, tho other night,

the city llreman to allow the blithe coni
idiau to ntiiln his cigarette. It was
Useless, and all threats of dvlng without
his habitual smoke did not move tho
guardian of tho law. Hence, It was
somewhat of a shock to the stage man
ngcr to so Mr. Wise light a cigarette
during tho opening i.f the third uit and
eeinliigly chuckle to the untitling Pie
man In tho wings. On the stage smoking
Is permitted as part of the "business."
"When lo Wolf Hopper. Sir Herbert
Ileerbohm Tree, Weber and Fields and
oilier legitimate players wiro making
their debut before tho liiovlo camera,"
couiliiutd the comedian, "they weie han
dicapped by not knowing tho limitations
of the movie camcia, and the fact that
tlie pictures were not iiulte tho sue1'

PUCCINI RE-ENTERS
! OPERATIC ROSTER
Farrar Will Sing "Mine. But
terfly" at Metropolitan on
Tuesday Night
lleglnnlng next Tuesday, wi tkly.pt r
formanccs of opera will be given nt the
Metropolitan until Mr. tiattl-Casar.za's
series Is concluded. "Madame Ilutterlly,"
next week's bill, will bn the first Puc
cini work disclosed hero this season.
This musical setting of John Luther
Long's romantic tale Is tlrmly estab
lished as one of I In; most popular music
dramas of tho repertory. Tho scoro Is
written with reassuring firmness of
style (a Halt so lamentably absent from
Mascngnl'H "lodolclta."), is fluently
melodic, though often reminiscent of
"Tosca" nnd "Hohenie," iind is fash
ioned with u kieu sense of dramatic
effect. llllca and (.lacosa's libretto
carefully follows the action of the orig
inal story In two acts The 'opening
scene Is original, but fittingly serves as
a pref.ico to tho main movement of the
tragedy.
Ah tho two principal male characters
In the opera arc American, Mr. Haiti Is
to bo congratulated for having secured
our compatilols for these roles In next
Tuesday's performance. Paul Altliuiisc,
formerly it member of tho Operatic So

Academy on Friday afternoon ktul Sat
urday evening of next week will bo the
"Scheherazade" suite of Itlmsky-Korsa-kow,
which takes tlie place usually ac.
corded the bymphouy. Tim soloist Is
Palilo Casals, of llarcelona, the foremost
violoncellist of the 'day, who has not
been heard here for several years. Ho
Is a remarkable example of the musician
who bus rcathed the pinnacle, of fame
largely through his own Initiative, for,
with the exception of a short period of
study with Jose (iarcla. he Is virtually
self-taught1 Cello literature Is so
meager that It Is of Interest to learn
that Casals will introduce u new con
certo by a composer who is not very
well known in America, a Frenchman
now living In London, whose name i3
lleorges UurUy, Thoso who havo ex
amined the score pronounce It a work
of tine distinction.
"Scheherazade" Is ono of tho most
popular works in tho orchestral icpcr
tolrc. The fascinating theme, front the
"Arabian Xlghts" of the Sultana viho for
a thousand and one nights kept her
lord amused and tiitirested by " the
stories she told, Is pictured In tho music.
uml the titles of the various movements
of the suite aro sufficiently descriptive.
Thero is "The Sea and the Vessel of
.iiimuu, ..mm in in. ruujt'ui ui too
tlrst movements "Tho Tale of tho Prince
Kalcnder," which follows; "The Young
Prince and tho Young Princess," which
Is the Idyll both of tho stories nnd of tho
music. The concluding episode is tlie
"Feast at Bagdad. The Sea. The Ves
sel Is Wrecked on a ltock on which la
mounted a Warrior of Brass."
The concluding number Is "The Fly
