Interesting Notes Concerning Musi

NEW OrERA BY MR. D. G. JOHNS
Peculiar Musical Instrument from Hawaii.
Entertainments of the Holiday Season.

ton's Composers Local Soloists.
A queer Instrument made on the
Sandwich Inlands has been on exhibi
tion at Stelle's music store this week
and has attracted considerable atten
tion. The Instrument Is about eighteen
Inches In length and Is shaped like a
guitar. It has only four strings, how
ever, and Is tuned like a violin, and the
performer produces a tone precisely like
that made by picking upon the strings
of a violin. The little affair Is called
the "Ukulele Okelill," or the flying
Ilea. It is made of the koa and mall
woods. The Ukulele Okelill at Stelle'a
was brought to this country by Mrs.
Cushlng, of Wyoming avenue, who re
cently returned from the Hawaiian
Islands. ' She also brought a copy of
the Hawaiian national hymn, com
posed in- 1868 by Queen Lllluokalanl.
An Investigation of the hymn will
cause surprise that the deposed queen
Qias been allowed to even remain In
HawaH for so many years.

SHARPS AND FLATS:
Lillian Russell Is to have a new opera
built for her by Reginald Koven and
Harry B. Smith.
It is said more than 200 one-act operas
have been written In Germany and Italy
within the past year. .
The Paris Opera had sixteen perform
ances during October, the receipts being
290,125 francs, or an average of 18,132 per
night.
Paderewskl Is still suffering from fa
tigue, especially In the shoulder Joints,
the result of his American tour. He Is
composing an opera Rubinstein was at
work on, "Cain and Abel," a trilogy,
when he died.
Wlllarn Spenser says that he Is anxious
to write a grand opera In two acts. "It
may not be understood during a lifetime,"
he says, "but possibly the same fate will
happen to me as to Bizet, a monument
may come after I am gone. At any rate,
musicians will be able to know what was
In me and give me my Just rating."

THE GRAVEYARD RABBIT
In the white moonlight, where the willow
waves.
He halfway gallops among the graves
A tiny ghost In the gloom and gleam,
Content to dwell where the dead men
dream.
But wary still:
For they plot him 111;
For the graveyard rabbit hath a charm
(May God defend us!) to shield from harm!
Over the shimmering slabs he goes
Every grave In the dark he knows;
But his nest Is hidden from human eye
Where headstones broken on old graves
lie.
Wary still!
For they plot htm 111;
For the graveyard rabbit, though the
skeptics scoff,
Charmeth the witch and the wizard off 1
The black man creeps, when the night Is
dim,
Fearful, still, on the track of him;
Or fleetly follows the way Tie runs.
For he hoals the hurts of the conjured
ones.
Wary still!
For they plot him 111;
The soul's bewitched, that would And re
lease. To the graveyard rabbit go for peace 1
He holds their secret he brings a boon
Where winds moan wild In the durk
of the moon; ,
And gold shall glitter and love smile sweet
To whoever shall sever his furry feet I

EARNEST AtTEAL FOR BRAINS
A New Play by Adrian Barbiisse-Samplcs
of the Latest Brand of l'p-to-Date
Syniclsm, Wit and Epigram
of Henry Arthur Jones, .
One of the season's new plays which
opened with brilliant promise but is
not altogether sustaining Its reputa
tion Is Adrian Barbusse's "The Inter
loper," We speak of this as a new play
because the translation Is new. The
original is French. It Is clever, of
course, abominably, lnebriatingly
clever, but too vapid. Stuart Robson
was driven to "The Interloper" by ne
cessity, not choice. He prefers Ameri
can plays. So do his audiences not.
Hence the French. That reminds me.
Even A. M. Palmer, veteran loser that
he Is, has despaired of doing American
plays by and for Americans. He has
discovered, after some decades of costly
trial, that Americans are Americans
only In theory. Hence he will practice
"forelgnism" If I may be allowed the
term and give them a second dose of
"Esmeralda." Of a verity, we are a
queer people!
Here are some samples of the latest
brand, most up-to-daite cynicism wit
and epigram of Henry Arthur Jones.
These are tines spoken In his play "The
Masqueraders" now running In New
York:
"Marriage Is the last Insult one offers to
a woman one respects."
"Democracy means that there Is no
line to be drawn, either socially, morally.
(pecuniarily, polttlcallly, religiously, or
anywhere."
"Impressionist artist, novelist, and gen
eral dirty modern dabbler Is consum
mately clever a consistent scoundrel In
every relation of life especially to wo
mena liar, a cheat, a drunkard and a
great personal friend of my own."
"I have never known any friendship be
tween a man and a married woman that
was not Innocent. How can it be guilty
unless the woman Is ugly?"
"What does It matter what lies we tell
about each other when none of our friends
think any the worse of us If they are
true?"
"I find this world a remarkably comfort
able and well-arranged place. I always
do exactly as I like. If I want anything
I buy it, whether I pay for it or no. If I
see a woman I admire I make love to her,
whether Bhe belongs to another man or
no. If a lie will answer my purpose, I
tell It. I can't remember I ever doitled
myself one single pleasure In life; nor
have I ever put myself out to oblige a
fellow creature. I um consistently selllsh
and I And It pays; I credit everybody else
with the same consistent selflshness, aid
I am never deceived In my estimate of
character. These are my principles, and
I always act up to them. And I assure
you I rind this woilJ the pleasantest pos
sible place." .'.,.
Apropos of all this It may not be out
of the way to recall Oscar Wilde's fam
ous epigram: "A cynlo Is a man who
knows the price of everything and the
value of nothing."
There Is a good deal of sound sense
In this complaint of a writer In the
Dramatlo Mirror who thinks brains
ought yet to have a place In the thea
trical business; , .
' "We have had too much crowding of
gorgeous flounce and fabrlo durlog the
pust twenty years, and this has worked
sorely nlnst the dignity of our art. It
has, for ono thing, opened the rank anrt
file of the uare to a countless number t f
flippant Incoiniielsnls tit only to servo
as a mtidlMe' lay llgures. And It has not
proved an '.mtllt'ctoal force to lmprovo
the taste of the public. The average

matinee girl Is hopeless enough at best,
and we haven't Improved her by teaching
her to criticise acting from the fine-
frock standpoint. Then there's too much
vapid cackle and persistent advertising of
the actress s clothes In the newspapers.
We are so hardened to this particular
form of vulgarity, educated to It as we
are by many of our most distinguished
stage women, that we do not stop to think
how degrading It Is to the dignity or an
artistic profession. Directly one of us
gets a new part Into our hands our
thoughts fly to our frocks. That is the
first Inspiration. The dress question Is
assuredly of much Importance, but per
haps the stage today would be a nobler
and more satisfying Institution all around
if the first supreme Impetus to work on a
new role were born of thoughtful con
ception in the way of characterization."
The attraction at the Frcithlngham
for two performances on 'Christmas
Day Is one that will be apt to bring out
the patrons of that house In full force.
Marie Jansen will be there In a comedy,
"Delmonlco'a at 6," which was greeted
last year in all the large cktles of the
states by crowded and enthusiastic
houses. Miss Jansen Is one of the most
fascinating and popular women known
to the American stage. She is one of
the very few now appearing at the
head of 'her own company, and has
rapidly built up for herself a large
clientele as used to uphold and applaud
Roslna Vokes, Lotta, Maggie Mitchell,
and other famous favorites of cher
ished memory. Miss Jansen Is young,
comely and magnetic. There Is a dash
and sparkle about her acting peculiarly
her own, and her personality Is capti
vating and Irresistible. The play, "Del
monlco's at 6," Is a bright, merry
comedy. It Is rapid and uninterrupted
In aatlon, the situations are novel and
ludicrous, and the fun is continuous.
Miss Jansen's role Is that of a vaude
ville queen who Innocently and unin
tentionally entangles a married man In
her charms and then punishes htm for
his presumption. It gives iher a One
opportunity to display her vivacity, tier
good "humor and her chic,

struction of a scenery storeage house for
the use of the subsidized theators, to take
the ' place of the building recently de
stroyed by Are. The new building will be
erected outside the fortifications.
Ibson writes very slowly and carefully,
and never takes a real vacation. Every
day he devotes Ave hours to literary work,
from a. m. till 1. It takes him about Ave
months to write a drama, and after com
pleting one he devotes six or seven
months to mental preparation for a new
one. He writes each play three times, It
Is said.
Jane Hading, although she has Just
made a hit In "L'Adventurlere" at the
Theater Francaise, is going to secede
from the company which all French ac
tors are so ambitious to enter. The temp
tation to which the artist has yielded Is
the promise of a new part, to be written
for her by Vlctorlen Bardou, who re
fuses to have anything to do with the
Francaise so long as his "Thermldor" Is
banished from the stage by order of the
French government.
