THE CHIMES AT THE ACADEMY A Successful Production by Scranton Amateurs Bamberg's "F.lolnc" Ef fect of Extra .Music in Churches. Rubinstein's Unfinished Works. The rendition of the "Chimes of Nor mandy" by lilchard Lindsay's chorus last evening was a creditable perform ance that gave evidence of the ability of the director and talent of his com pany. Being headed by two such pro fessional artists as lime. Natall and Henry Peakes, of course Mr. Lindsay's party had the advantage of the ordin ary amateur trouiHj. Hut the work of the entire company was admirable throughout. II II II Illustrations of the influence of good music in attracting large audlenoes ait church services were given on. Christ mas and at the New Year exerclaes In Bnme of the Scranton houses of wor ship. This was particularly noticeable at. the cathedral, where a large orches tra assisted the choir under the efllclemt direction of Prnfesor Schilling; and at the First Presbyterian church, where the organ was augmented by .a violin ami harp. It sevms singular that, in vIpw of the successes of extra musical features, church music committees wlll Incurred In securing additional instru ments. Good music never destroys the effect of a good sermon. In most ln 6tanc?s it Is an aid, and often an in spiration, that moves One minister to greater efforts. The day of struggling congregational singing and of tuning fork leadership in church music, it Is to be hoped, has gone by. By all means lot the congregation sing when occa sion warrants, but, also, lot the beat talent that can be engaged give buoy ancy to the service of song from the choir loft. It II II Professor D. O. Johns has been pro ducing his new opera, "Little Tottoon," in the suburban towns herpnhnuta anl When the company appears in this city nt the Academy a few weeks hence it is presumed that the members will ba thoroughly conversant with their roles. II II II Miss Draeger, solo contralto at Elm Park church, is also an artist of much ability, and exhibits many studies In oil that are of unusual excellence. ' II II II Haydn Evans has returned from his professional visit to Youngstown and Palnesvllle, Ohio, with a good account of the hospitality of his friends in those cities. After adjudicating at the Youngstown .elsteddofd on Christmas Mr. Evans journeyed to Pnlnesvllle and gave an organ recital at Bt. James' church, and was followed by a banquet nt' the Cowles House, In honor of Mr. Evans.. , -toie . guest of the .evening was the object of a very enthusiastic toast, dur ing which a warm eulogy was passed upon his musical skill. Hpeaklng of his adjudication at the eisteddfod ' the Ypungstown Telegram Bays: "Professor Evans, the talented young mare who, officiated as adjudicator on music, performed his exceedingly dif ficult office 'with rare taste.

YORE, Eecitativo I dreamt that the moon looked sad - ly down, And the ray; I went to my sweetheart' home, -jstzz -esr-. had touched in the days Copyright, 1894, by The New York Muiical Record Co ments of Ebenezer Prout, an English musician and profound scholar, whose name is well known and closely identi fied with Handel In the capacity of editor of the Novello edition. He has, says a correspondent of the Hartford Times, made the somewhat startling discovery-that Handel "borrowed" by the wholesale from at least twenty nine different composers. He finds the famous "Dettlngen Te Deum" taken al most note for note from Urlo; a con siderable portion of "Israel In Egypt" Is by Erba. The famous duet, "The Lord Is a Man of War," is a mixture Urlo and Erba: while in other parts of the work the compositions of StradeUa and Corelll appear. Gram, is also a sufferer at the hands of the unscrupu lous Handel. Mr. Prout mentions "Saul," "Israel," "Theodora," and other works, which Handel performed frequently and received congratula tions for, but which contained some "mo3- atrocious cribs." A recent num ber of the London Musical Herald con tains an amusing cartoon by Charles Lyall representing Ebenezer Prout dressed as a policeman. In hot chase of Handel, who Is waddling down the street with the scores of StradeUa, Erba and Graun under his arm. The familiar choiuses and arias ore not necessarily less beautiful or Impressive because we have to Inquire of Mr. Prout who wrote them; and It is no news to the musician that Handel was a heavy "borrower." II II II Lovers of comic opera have a treat In store at the Academy on Monday and Tuesday evenings when "Kobln Hood" and the "Knickerbockers" will bo presented under management of P.arnabee and McDonald. In the five years of Its existence before the public "Robin Hood." it is said, has netted its authors $100,000. In the matter of pop. ularity the opera has been a surprise. The average successful life of a comic opera, It is said. Is about three years. Notwithstanding "Robin Hood" was laughed at by American managers when it was written, twelve or fifteen years ago, It has been one of the most successful operas ever produced, and its popularity Is not upon the wane by any means. f ' II II II - C. ' Ela!r,e," BemDerg's new opera which Melba has Just made acceptable to New Yorkers, Vance Thompson writes: "Mr. Bamberg's Inspiration is intensely lyric. The melodies are sim ple, perspicuous, but largely conceived and gracefully expressed. In the first act there Is a dvliclous ballade, "L Amour est Pur Com me la Flamme," which admirably illustrates this young composer's power of lyrlo expression. The melody is direct and naive as a nursery rhyme; nine people out of ten have whistled it as they went away. And this dear, consistent, lucid flow of melody Is unbroken' from the first act to the last. Now and again a familiar march movement; there are passages of vigorous, and daring orchestration fitfully emphatic use of the brasses; and the melody flows on and on, clear as crystal, serene, graceful. You have never heard t .before and yet you might have heard it a score of times. It makes no- Impression -of originality I .think It will be very popular, i " II II II Recording to an Italian exchange, Verdi has Just made his Willi "He dedi cates his fortune, valued at something over 10,000,000 francs, to the, carry Ing out of a noble scheme. After men tioning that he has no child of his own, and that he sees no reason vwhy he should enrich distant relatives, he ex presses his desire that his wealth shall benefit those who have helped him to make it, namely, musicians and lyric artists. He has decided, accordingly to build upon his own property and endow ai superb palace, capable of holding 200 persons of both sexes, to be used as a home for Italian singers and musicians who may find themselves without means at the close of their .

The designs for the building are already In u forward state, and the. composer even hopes that It may be completed before his death." II II II Rubinstein's room at Peterhoff has been locked and Is to be kept exactly in the condition In which he left it. The expense of his burial was undertaken by the government, and a subscription was at once started for a monument. His friends say that he was himself re sponsible for his untimely death; he ate too much, took too little exercise, worked too hard, and stubbornly re fused to gee a doctor even when asthma, fainting fits and insomnia warned him. Plaster casts have been taken of his face and hands. The St. Petersburg Conservatory remained closed three days. II II II There Is no chorus and no ballet in Mascugnl's opera, "Ratcllff," which Is to have Its first performance in Berlin in January. II II II A letter from St. Petersburg states that shortly before his death Rubin stein put the finishing touches to a suite In five movements for orchestra, and this, together with the cantata for soloists, orchestra and chorus, written for the opening of the new building of the St. Petersburg Conservatoire, was his latest work. Another and more Important effort that is to say, a sa cred opera, to take three evenings in performance, and entitled "Cain and Abel" he leaves' unfinished. II II II Private letters from Paris state that Calve has become a perfect hypo chondriac. To all- appearances she Is perfectly well, but those privileged -to know her personally have to listen to ioti accounts of )i-r ailments and to her constant reiteration of the remark that she Is a very sick woman. II II II SHARPS AND FLATS: Nlklta Is singing In Russia. Leoncavallo will soon conduct his new symphony, "Beraphlta," at Berlin. lOd win Stevens will appear In "Rob Roy," De Koven and Smith's new opera. "Ignelde," a new opera by Max 8chll llnga, libretto by Count Sporek, will soon be given In Carlsruhe. There Is no chorus and no ballet In Mas cagnl's opera, "Katcllffo,"whlch Is to have its first performance In Berlin next month. Emperor William is arresting Berlin critics on a charge of lese majeste because they express adverse opinion of his "Song to Aeglr." It Is related of Chopin that he would go from one end of Paris to the other rather than write a letter. Brahms has the same peculiarity. Being asked at Paris If It was true that he was writing a symphonic poem on "Death," Verdi replied, "Death Is think ing of me, but I am sure I am not of It." Bronlnlaw Hubermann, the violinist, has received from an admiring countryman, the Polish Count Johann Zamoyakl, a present of a Stradlvarlus violin valued at 13,600. Satnt-Saens will again spend the winter In Algiers, where he will devote part of his time to completing the operatic torso left by the late Ernest Qulraud, "Frede gonde et Brunehaut." Upward of 200 one-act operas' have been written In Germany and Italy during the lost twelve months, as a consequence probably of the success of Cavallerla Kus tlcana."

The development of Philadelphia has left the Arch Street theater without a public, and that house after a long and eventful history, will be devoted to other uses. The ' fortunes of the Arch street have long been declining. Tli.- following Interesting history of this memorable theater appears In the Buffalo Express: This theater was opened to the public on Oct. 21, 1828, and. with the exception of the Walnut Street theater In that city, Is perhaps the oldest in the country. After several seasons, in 1831, the Arch Street was taken by Jones, Duffy and Forrest, and the theater was one of the best-known houses In the country. James E. Mur doch, John R. Scott. Eliza Riddle and Mary Duff were In the cast. William E. Burton and John E. Owens played engagements there, and Edwin Booth made his first Philadelphia appearance In this house as Wilfred In "The Iron Chest," to the Sir Edward Mortimer of his father. Among other actors whose names are associated with the early history of the house were Thomas J. Hemphill, William Wheatlelgn, John Drew and John Sleeper Clarke. Mrs. John Drew took a lease of this house In 1861, and for thirty-one years man aged It with signal success and profes sional honor. On May 7, 1892, she bade farewell to management there, appear ing as the Widow Warren In "The Lovo Chase." The Weary Raggleses of the stage are, Bays the New York Recorder, In variably neatly, even fashionably, dressed oft the 'boards. Bill Hoey, Wal ter Jones, Mr. Wilson and Lew Bloom are well-dressed men. This seems to surprise some people, who Identify the actor with the part. Lew Bloom was engaged for a sociable In Chicago' and all that was required of him was that he appear In costume, but he did not sing or dance.- He sat still at the table, ate, drank, smoked, was merry, and was looked at, and received ITS for this gentle pastime.. ; .

IH I w tW ITT steal It or of the Interruption of its performance by a company which has surreptitiously got hold of the text. News of similar efforts on the part of the owners of plays to protect their property Is so often telegraphed to the New Yorg newspapers that only the more flagrant cases are regarded as worth printing, says the New York Sun. One or these occurred the other day at Chicago. A man there, who for the last twelve months has been known as the most persistent play-thief In America, was arrested In a theater while engaged in an effort to take down in shorthand the speeches of a popular play. When he was ejected from the building, a business card was found In his pocket advertising for sale most of the popular plays now before the public. A few nights before this man was put out of the Standard theater In thi.i city for attempting to take down the text of "The New Boy." It' Is by means of stenographers that the play pirates come Into possession of their looty. They will go to any ex pense almost to get hold of a popular work, (ind If a stenographer thinks that hi; is likely to avoid interruption in a box, the price of that luxury Is not considered. It rarely happens that the whole of a play can be secured In one evening, and the copyist is likely to be found in the gallery on the night after he began operations in a box, although the same ninu Is not generally entrust ed with thle work of stealing the whole play. He usually alternates with an associate, 'o that his face shall not be come familiar to the employes of the theater while the process of acquiring the play goes on. One stenographer was found In a New York theater with o pnd of paper small enough to con ceal In one hand In his pocket. The lines on it wire marked by a small set of wires. In the Wilfred Clarke Comedy com pany which comes to the Frothlngham for a brief season of two nights and one matinee, Jan. 11 and 12, there is a young actor, D. Webster Seism, of Scranton, who bids fair to make his mark on the stage. This is his third or fourth professional year and he is now doing very Important work. His friends m this city, and they are legion, will be gratified to learn that he will ap pear on Friday night as Uncle Zoodle In "Tit for Tot," and at the Saturday matinee and Saturday night perform ances as Baron Elssbrook In "A Widow Hunt." Mr. Seism's connection with the company will insure It full houses here In Scranton, where he Is so well and favorably known. This Is how the discriminating crltio of the Omaha Bee sounds the praises of a gentleman well known to Scran tonlanB: Daniel L. Hart gives promise of taking the place of the late Dion Bauclcault In the great world of the drama. He Is young, we understand, and has just be gun a struggle for a place among play wrights. The drama "O'Nell, Washing ton, D. C," Is a gen from the standpoint of art, highly Interesting as an enter tainer, notably pure, scholarly In con struction and beautiful In Its touch of na ture and simplicity. His quick changes, Irish humor, Celtlo wit, and above all heart reading sentiment are decidedly Bouclcaultlan and reminds one of the Immortal Dion. Mr. Hart Is the first of the new writers to dip his cup Into the stream of Irish purity and dash Its re freshing contents over the withering flowers on the bed of the Irish drama In America's great dramatic garden. How thoroughly Celtic, the following from the scene between O'Nell and Mrs. Norton In act four: "Yls, he had his faults, poor lad, but I forget thlm, whin I think of the clay that covers him." FOOTLIGHT FLASHES: Eflle Shannon will appear In "The Dis trict Attorney." M. B. Curtis has gone to Europe. He has nervous prostration.

Henry Arthur Jones' "The Case of Re seem; 1 -3 I I 11 hi jJ 1 IS z5- hold, II - lumed by the , p g: U- -a- perpewltm. bellious Susan" will be brought out in New York Dec. 31. Beerbohm Tree will appear at Abbey's theater In New York at the close of the Kendalls' engagement. It Is understood that Paul Potter will dramatize "Trilby" for production by A. M. Palmer's company. Edward Bell has succeeded E. J. Rat clifTe In "Shenandoah." Odette Tyler has also retired from that cast. E. J. Rutcllfre will appear In "The Fatal Card" at Palmer's In the role William Terriss is now playing In London. Katie Emmett has returned to her fa vorite character of a boy. She will ap pear In "An American Boy" under her own direction. V. T. Carleton hag closed his season of song because pecuniary results were not sufficiently encouraging to warrant any further risks. Lillian Russell's engagement just closed was the most unsuccessful of any In which she has yet appeared. "The Queen of Brilliants" and "The Grand Duchess" were both failures. The figures of the cost of mounting "Mme. Sans Gene" show beyond any shadow of doubt that a manager needs must venture a great deal of capital In sending out a new play. These are the Items: Furniture, JS.-tH); costumes, KM0O; scenery, 7,80fl; properties, J1.000; Jewels and armors, $1,600, making a total Invest ment of M,7U0. Frank Mordaunt originated the part of Col. Andrew Sloane, a Virginian, In "Two Colonels," W. R. Goodall's new play, the Bcenes of which are laid In Vermont and the Old Dominion. The first production took placo In Washington last Monday night. Mr. Mordaunt will also originate an Important role In "The District Attor ney," to be produced on Jan. 21 at the American theater, New York. , Henry Irving will bring his company to America next September. He intends to open In Canada, going from there to Bos ton, Mass., and then going to New York for eight weeks. Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, Richmond, Atlanta, New Or leans, Nashville, Memphis and St. Louis will follow, and afterward Chicago, In dianapolis, Detroit, Cleveland, Buffalo, Pittsburg, Philadelphia, Boston and New York. The tour will last for thirty-live weeks. Mile. Rhea has several new plays ready for production. The first and the one upon which she places her greatest hopes Is "The Parisians." by Vlctorlen Sardou. There are seventeen parts In the play and every member of Rhea's excellent com pany will appear In the cast. Mr. Hart will bo seen In the chief male part. The burning of letters on the stage for dra matic effect Is almost threadbare, but In "The Parisians" It Is handled In such a masterly way by Sardou that a sensation Is likely to be the result when the piece Is produced. Russia Is file greatest theatrical terri tory In Europe. Helena Modjeska writes that she has st cceeded In opening the doors of that country and will appear at the National theater at St. Petersburg, after the olllclal period of mourning for the late ciar. In the spring. Her address before the ladles' auxiliary committee at the World's fair caused so much censure on the part of the Russian government that she was Interdicted from entering the Russian domain. But through the In tervention of the director general of the National theater, a personal friend of the madame'B, the order has been rescinded.
