The climax came when some wpmen friends of Miss Anne Morgan him!

Some very real animals, furry black bears and a baby bear which climbed to the top of the trapezes and then shed tears because he couldn't get down, started, things going. A score or more of Vacation Fund girl clowns kept the audience laughing all through the eve- ning. A chorus of "black m.iinniles" stretching from end to end of the .ar- mory sang syncopated songs : cowboys and Indians bore down upon the pcctu a tora at Intervals and up and down the aisles wandered girls with peanuts and popcorn and candy and pink lemonade. a Th performance was saved from be-I- n a purely amateur one by the Hppcar-ane- e 'of a magnificent span of white horses, two white ladles, a white man arid a silky white dog, They dashed around and around the ring doing bare- back stunts. This troupe, known as the Muttons: the performing bears and Nervo, who. as Miss Morgan put It. "was Willing to die for nothing," lent a bona flirte sawdust touch to the whole affair. VVhen all was ended, the animals gone hpmerWYid' the performers had changed Intfl real clothes, the tleor was cleared and'Mlrcus goers showed their apprecia- tion: at a real ball.

After the performance of "The Show fihop" at the Hudson Theatre last night the stage wns cleared and the third per- formance of the day began. This hap- pened to be a party given by the Sel-wv- to celebrate some of the miccewiful plays this winter- The party was given to the members it their companies appearing In "Under Cover," "It rays to Advertise," "Twin ' Beds," 'The Lie" and "The Show Shop. But there were many other actresses present, and Indeed there fere few of the current successes not reprosented In the gathering. There was a short play by Douglas Fairbanks to open the proceedings. FEAST FOR VETERAN PRINTER. Van Vllrt to Leave "KvenlnR I'o.t" After .'Ii! Years. The associates of Morris Van Vllet, who has been superintendent of the me- chanical departments of the llvniug Pott for thirty-tw- o years, gave him a dinner at Hann's on I'ark Row yester- day after the paper went to press, "Mr. Van," as he was called, retires from hla aotlve duties on May 1 He Is going to a farm near Rochester, N.

RICHARD EPSTEIN n. 1 ! Elena Oerhardt. rlie dlstlnanilshed German lleder singer, eave her last recital of the present soason yesterday afternoon In Carnegie Hull The au- dience was small. The programme com- prised songs by Franz, Schubert. Marlon Bauer of this city. Roger Qullter, Mrs. H. II. A. Beach. Jensen and Hugo Wolf. Miss (lerhardt's tribute to American composer was graceful and the songs were well received. The singing of thla artist has not appreciated In artistic value since she Iihb been In this country, and when she returns to Uermany she will doubtless lie told that she owes her descent to the lamentable Ignorance of the Ameri- cans. Hut since this has been said of Herman singers for many .wars there need not be any tear shed over It. Miss Oerhardt slugs very beautifully at times. In such songs, for example, as the romance from Schubert's contribu- tions to "Rosamunde." Here she uses her lovely mexza voce and brings to her delivery an admirable repose. Poetic Interpretation becomes inisslble when she, sings with continence and artistic equi- poise. But In songs which permit her to use a vigorous style and to pour out huge volumes of tone Miss (lerhardt now often departs from tho methods of true art. She sings with manifest effort, forcing her tone-- , and frequently produc- ing sounds of unmusical quality. And worst of all she much too often Is Just shade off the pitch. These shortcomings are regrettable In- deed In a singer whose voice is of such tine natural type, whose temperament Is palpable and whose understanding of the right way to Interpret lleder Is so often disclosed convincingly. Her ac- companiments were played yesterday by Richard Kpsteln, who added to the en- tertainment a most valuable feature. YESTERDAY AT THE OPERA. Montemeiil and I'nretnl Kntrrtnln Tvro Atldlrnres nt the Metropolitan "L'Amore dH Tro Re" was sung at the Metropolitan Opera House yesterday afternoon. An audience of encouraging Klze was present and there was abun- dant evidence of Interest and een en- thusiasm- After the strong second act the singers were recalled a dozen time The performance differed In no matter from those which preceded It The opera has apparently made a plae! for Itself In the repertory of the house and will probably be given for several seasons, with perhaps the necessary far riit unit ref rewhmpnt. In the evening Oeraldlne K.irrar and ; "Madama Butterfly furnished sweet sorrow to a .good Saturday night audi- ence. There Is no more to be said about the Metropolitan representations of this work of Puoclnl. It is comforting to know that Miss Farrar will be present next season to Impersonate again and again and yet again. Her In- terpretation of the role was much Im- proved and Is now a real work of art. 3 MAY INVESTIGATE VAUDEVILLE rltimnr of Mmr Analnst Aliened Trnat .Vol Yc( Confirmed. Assistant United Slates Attorney Claude A. Thompson would neither af- firm nor deny yesterday the rumor that the Government Intends to Include vaudeville Interests In It contemplated Sherman law action against the aHeged theatrical trust. When the new of the Government's Investigation came out re- cently It was said that the sltuatloit In 1. - I i . i ... t .1 n1.l ...At. 1.1 l.A .1- 1- I lie ten I uill.nc minim iiem "uiini ut hip- - posed of before consideration was glvoc to the olher hraiiehr or the theatrical business. Should the Government decide to pro- ceed on the theory that there Is a vaudeville trust there would be. It Is ttalrt. ample basis In the recent decision of Judge llnnd dlMnlsslug a demurier In the Sherman law damage suit brought by H B. Marluelll, Ltd., nn Independent London booklngi concern, ngnlnst the United Booking Offices of America, the Central Vnudcvllle Promotion Company and others composing tho vaudeville trust. Jndgn Hand held that the travelling of actors from State to State under contracts made hy the book- ing companies was Interwtate commerce. "In the cae at bar," said Judge Hand, In dismissing the demurrer Interposed by tho defendants, "the allegations hnw that the defendants are trying to keep all the first class performers for their own theatres, refusing to allow them to act If they act elsewhere and refusing to allow other theatre to have the cir- cuit's performers If they take others. Tho necessary Inference Is that If the defendants nre successful they will con- trol all first class performers and suc- ceed In monopolizing the supply," Pla a nil IMnrr. Tim Fort eighth Street Theatre will tv closed for a week pending the begin- ning of te Wolf Hoper's season of Gilbert and Sullivan opera. In the com- pany will be Natalie Alt. Gladys fnmp-bel- l, Marie Horgau. Alice McComb, Arthur Aldrldge. William Danforth, Herbert Waterous nnd John Wlllard. "The Yeoman of the Guard" will be tho first opera sung.

"The Mikado." "The Pirates of Penzance." "H. M. S. Tins-fore- ." "lolanthe" and "The Gondoliers." The success of the revival of "A Cele- brated Case" at the Umpire Theatre has been so great that Charles Frohinan nnd David Helasco have decided to make the production of a well known play every spring. It will always be played by a company of stars. The present organization will not be able to appear next winter In "A Celebrated Case," but the play will be sent about the country with other well known actors. .1. F. J.

A score or moreof Vacation Fund girl clowns kept theaudience laughing all through the eve-ning. A chorus of "black m.iinniles"stretching from end to end of the .ar-mory sang syncopated songs : cowboysand Indians bore down upon the pcctu atora at Intervals and up and down theaisles wandered girls with peanuts andpopcorn and candy and pink lemonade. a

Th performance was saved from be-I- n

a purely amateur one by the Hppcar-ane- e

'of a magnificent span of whitehorses, two white ladles, a white manarid a silky white dog, They dashedaround and around the ring doing bare-back stunts.

MISS GERHARDT IN

LIEDER PROGRAMME

Last Appearance Here ThisSeason pf Popular Her-

man Singer.

RICHARD EPSTEIN n. 1 !

Elena Oerhardt. rlie dlstlnanilshedGerman lleder singer, eave her lastrecital of the present soason yesterdayafternoon In Carnegie Hull The au-

dience was small. The programme com-

prised songs by Franz, Schubert. MarlonBauer of this city. Roger Qullter, Mrs.

H. II. A. Beach. Jensen and Hugo Wolf.Miss (lerhardt's tribute to Americancomposer was graceful and the songswere well received.

The singing of thla artist has notappreciated In artistic value since sheIihb been In this country, and when shereturns to Uermany she will doubtlesslie told that she owes her descent tothe lamentable Ignorance of the Ameri-cans. Hut since this has been said ofHerman singers for many .wars thereneed not be any tear shed over It.

Miss Oerhardt slugs very beautifullyat times. In such songs, for example, asthe romance from Schubert's contribu-tions to "Rosamunde." Here she usesher lovely mexza voce and brings to herdelivery an admirable repose. PoeticInterpretation becomes inisslble when she,sings with continence and artistic equi-poise. But In songs which permit her touse a vigorous style and to pour outhuge volumes of tone Miss (lerhardt nowoften departs from tho methods of trueart. She sings with manifest effort,forcing her tone-- , and frequently produc-ing sounds of unmusical quality. Andworst of all she much too often Is Just

shade off the pitch.These shortcomings are regrettable In-

deed In a singer whose voice is of suchtine natural type, whose temperament

Is palpable and whose understanding ofthe right way to Interpret lleder Is sooften disclosed convincingly. Her ac-companiments were played yesterday byRichard Kpsteln, who added to the en-

tertainment a most valuable feature.

YESTERDAY AT THE OPERA.

Montemeiil and I'nretnl KntrrtnlnTvro Atldlrnres nt the Metropolitan

"L'Amore dH Tro Re" was sung atthe Metropolitan Opera House yesterdayafternoon. An audience of encouragingKlze was present and there was abun-dant evidence of Interest and een en-

thusiasm- After the strong second actthe singers were recalled a dozen timeThe performance differed In nomatter from those which preceded It

The opera has apparently made a plae!for Itself In the repertory of the houseand will probably be given for severalseasons, with perhaps the necessary

far riit unit ref rewhmpnt.In the evening Oeraldlne K.irrar and ;

"Madama Butterfly furnished sweetsorrow to a .good Saturday night audi-ence. There Is no more to be said aboutthe Metropolitan representations of thiswork of Puoclnl. It is comforting toknow that Miss Farrar will be presentnext season to Impersonateagain and again and yet again. Her In-

terpretation of the role was much Im-

proved and Is now a real work of art.

MAY INVESTIGATE VAUDEVILLE

Assistant United Slates AttorneyClaude A. Thompson would neither af-

firm nor deny yesterday the rumor thatthe Government Intends to Includevaudeville Interests In It contemplatedSherman law action against the aHeged

theatrical trust. When the new of theGovernment's Investigation came out re-

cently It was said that the sltuatloit In1. - I i . i ... t .1 n1.l ...At. 1.1 l.A .1- 1-

Should the Government decide to pro-ceed on the theory that there Is avaudeville trust there would be.

"In the cae at bar," said Judge Hand,In dismissing the demurrer Interposedby tho defendants, "the allegations hnwthat the defendants are trying to keepall the first class performers for theirown theatres, refusing to allow themto act If they act elsewhere and refusingto allow other theatre to have the cir-cuit's performers If they take others.Tho necessary Inference Is that If thedefendants nre successful they will con-trol all first class performers and suc-ceed In monopolizing the supply,"
